The Sharkatzor was a hidden siege unit introduced in Age of Empires II HD: Rise of the Rajas. It was unhidden and used as a cheat unit with the launch of the Definitive Edition. It resembles a cat riding a shark equipped with jetpacks, shooting laser beams at enemies (shoots cows before the Definitive Edition). The cheat code to access the unit is "catzor".
The Sharkatzor has a unique hover attribute, which allows it to move over both land and water. This may also allow it to pass through some buildings, units, objects and terrains, making it the only "amphibious" unit, and the only unit that can stack on each other in the game. Despite seemingly hovering, it can be attacked by melee units which reach it, and is thus not an airborne unit.
Since it is a ranged unit dealing splash damage, it can also damage friendly units.
