Ironically, sharks are nowhere near as dangerous as the stereotype makes them out to be. Do not confuse with tropes with other meanings of "shark", such as Loan Shark, Voodoo Shark, or media references like Jump the Shark.
You can relax if there are Devious Dolphins though, since they make perfect rivals to these sharks.Ĭontrast Shamu Fu, the one situation where things may legitimately get better when you add a shark. Often first seen as a tell-tale Shark Fin of Doom.Ĭompare Sea Monster (for other scary things in the ocean), Never Smile at a Crocodile and Pike Peril (for the rivers-and-lakes counterpart), Monstrous Seal, and Bears Are Bad News. (Cool as they are, there are still ways to enhance them.) In some cases, prehistoric sharks such as megalodons are used instead of modern ones, sometimes with them being portrayed as Sea Monsters. Really, if Sand Is Water, expect Land Sharks. If they ever find a way to take to the land or air, it would surely be the end of us all. It doesn't matter, they're the most badass animal that isn't extinct or made up. Perhaps it's because they have changed very little in the millions of years they existed. Perhaps it's because it's how their mouths are lined with literally hundreds of teeth, or because they can smell your blood from miles away like a hungry vampire, or because they can sense your bioelectricity meaning you can never hide from them. Most animals eat to live, but sharks live to eat. Sometimes they'll even attack ships: that's how badass they are. license plates, car tires, suits of armour, car parts, severed human limbs.
In fictionland, or rather fiction-ocean, many sharks are unstoppable sea-monster killing machines which devour everything in sight: fish, seals, people.
If you're swimming or anywhere near water, the last thing you want to hear is "shark". Has the Big Bad got you? He won't shoot, that'd be too fast, he'll instead lower you into a Shark Pool. Trapped in the middle of the ocean with no realistic way of making it to civilization, likely go crazy and dehydrate in a couple of days? That takes too long? No worries, the ocean is infested with sharks just waiting to devour you. Want to make a (usually) aquatic situation a dangerous nightmare? One way is sharks.
