“ I have seen so much throughout my life, but... I never met someone as radiant as you. „
Lord Oyster (로드 오이스터, lodu oisuteo) is an NPC released in A Mermaid's Tale update (v4.9), appearing in the A Mermaid's Tale Special Episode.
Long ago, Lord Oyster was the heir of the then-floundering Oyster Family who allied with Abalone Cookie to search for legendary treasures. However, when he discovers a captured White Pearl Cookie, he grows more fond of her to the point of romantic feelings.
Eventually, he and his actions become one of the prime catalysts for White Pearl Cookie's mental descent and transformation into the vicious Black Pearl Cookie; the naïve promise he broke by selling her pearl to save his failing family played a large part in shattering her heart irreparably.
