Marlin wins this matchup 50% of the time in the Animal Battle Stats model (toss-up). It leads in 3 of 6 battle stats, with the biggest swing coming from agility (78 vs 50). Its power index is 62.9 against 62.8 for the Musk Ox.
Size matters here: a typical adult Musk Ox weighs about 320 kg (705 lb), roughly 1.3× the Marlin's 250 kg. Despite that, the Marlin's weapons and fighting stats carry the day.
The Musk Ox's best chance is its defense (61 vs 41), plus abilities like Boss-Plate Ram and Arctic Heat Lock. This one is close enough that terrain, first contact and motivation could flip it.
Reality check: these two would never meet. The Marlin lives in water, so this verdict is a neutral "stat fight". In deep water the Marlin would hold every advantage; on dry land it could not fight at all.
