Hydro Girl is a minor character in Deadlocked. A young heroine of an unknown species hailing from Aquatos,[1] described as an "aquatic adventuress",[2] she was one of the heroes captured and forced to participate in DreadZone. She is a humanoid with aquatic features, appearing to have gills, and wearing a metal suit.
Hydro Girl was kidnapped by Gleeman Vox while helping construct a shelter for baby lunar seals injured in an interplanetary tanker accident on Aquatos, prompting the Starship Phoenix to investigate her mysterious disappearance.[2] She then became a much-hyped and well-performing contestant on DreadZone, to the point where Dallas Wanamaker said that Ratchet would merely be "intermission material" while waiting for the more interesting matches with her and a hero named Gray Thunder.[3] She became one of the higher-ranking contestants in the Rank-O-Meter.
Hydro Girl escaped the exploding DreadZone Station thanks to the efforts of Ratchet and Clank. After the fact, Hydro Girl invited Ratchet to look her up should he ever find himself return to Aquatos, following which both he and Clank agreed it would be a nice to visit.[1]

Nika Futterman provided the voice of Hydro Girl.
Unused audio files suggest Hydro Girl was originally going to be involved in a rescue mission on Shaar. The objective would have been for Team Darkstar to release her by hacking security orbs. Dallas would also use the opportunity to berate Hydro Girl for not returning his calls.[4]
