Sharks of all sorts roam the oceans && seas, constantly in motion and
seeking food to satisfy their voracious appetites. The shark is a killing
machine, attacking any recognizable food source at any time. Sharks are
attracted by noise (pressure changes) from a mile or more, and they can
smell blood from at least the same distance.

Any creature which appears hurt is 90% likely to be attacked.

A wounded creature will always be attacked, and this will cause all sharks nearby to go into a frenzy where
they will attack any thing that remotely resembles food. They sieze prey,
tearing off a mouthful if it is not bite-sized, and swim away to swallow it,
only to return again for more. Sharks are particularly vulnerable to
ramming attacks, such as dolphins deliver, for they rupture internal organs
which allow the creatures to swim.

Similarly, a motionless shark dies in 2-5 melee rounds.

The shark is the sacred animal of Sekolah.

Giant Shark (Megalodon): Giant white sharks and prehistoric species of
sharks range in size from 20' to 50', the largest being the prehistoric sharks.

Swallow Whole: The only difference between these monsters and their smaller kin is the
former's ability to swallow large objects whole -- commensurate with the
other factors which large size gives them. A creature swallowed whole has
6 melee rounds to free itself by attack. If it cuts its way out (reduces the
shark to 0 hit points) within this time it will not be dead. Each attack from
inside is at a cumulative -1 per round with regard to damage; thus attacks
on the 1st round cause damage -1, those on the 2nd cause damage -2, etc.
