[[File:Riptide.jpg|thumb|100px|{{center|Riptide}}]]

Riptide is one of the "Top Dogs" in the [[Powers Division]]. He usually hangs around [[Nova Praetoria]], at North Aetna. His [[coordinates]] are  {{coords|-4779|-12|-3032}}.


Riptide may be found as both an ally and an enemy by Praetorian players. Apparently, he's the most active of all the Top Dogs:

* During the mission ''A Spectacle for the Crowd'' from [[Reese]] as an Enemy.
* During the mission ''The Killer'' from [[Transmuter]] as an Ally.
* During the mission ''Stronger than Family'' from [[Chimera]] as an Ally.
* During the mission ''This is the End'' from [[Chimera]] as an Ally, if you decided to help the Loyalists.
* During the mission ''Find and Kill Top Dog in Tunnels'' from [[Dr. Hetzfeld]] as an Enemy.
* During the mission ''Betray Dr. Hetzfeld'' from [[Dr. Hetzfeld]] as an Ally.
* During the mission ''The Rift Enclosure'' from [[Provost Marchand]] one last time, as an NPC.


Heroes may fight him:

* in the [[Task Force]] ''[[Admiral Sutter Task Force|The Sky is Falling]]'', from [[Admiral Sutter]] (Levels 20-40)





=== Information ===

Riptide's frightening appearance is matched only by his brutality in combat. He can discharge lethal amounts of bio-electricity on anyone who gets too close, while clusters of retractable poisonous spines discourage anyone from staying within arms reach. Despite his monstrous countenance, Riptide is an honorable man outside of combat, but start a fight with him, and all semblance of civility is tabled until victory is had.
