Shark Pool	comment	A body of water filled with any variety of unpleasant creatures, such as alligators, killer jellyfish, piranhas, or sharks (with or without frickin' lasers on their heads). Inconvenient heroes and their sidekicks are either suspended over the pool on a slowly-descending rope, or are delivered into it by way of a chute or Trap Door. Also may be used to dispose of henchmen who have failed for the last time. The hole or vat may contain substances besides water, including molten metal, toxic waste, hot lava, or, for the villain who happens to have a Sweet Tooth, boiling chocolate, caramel, or any sugary or savory food in liquid form. See also Acid Pool. Compare with Animal Assassin, where the dangerous animals are delivered to the victim rather than the other way around. See also Fed to the Beast. The Snake Pit is a version with less water and more snakes. Drowning Pit is the critter-free version that does the job with just water. If the animals are just used to dispose of the body after it's been killed by other means, that's Fed to Pigs. Fictional pirates usually prefer to feed victims to sharks in their natural habitat by making them Walk the Plank. Monster in the Moat is a similar concept, but intended for defending a fixed point rather than for dramatic executions. Has nothing to do with the TV series Shark Tank. Nor pool sharks of the billiards table kind.

Shark Pool / int_2bbcacd9	comment	Several Looney Tunes show alligator-filled versions. The final Wolf and Sheepdog cartoon has Ralph Wolf rigging up a can't-miss deathtrap for Sam Sheepdog, with an armory of weapons at point-blank range, the bluff he's on undercut and rigged to break off over a big tank full of hungry crocodiles — just as he's throwing the master switch, the 5:00 whistle blows. He rolls his eyes and sighs "Pshaw!" and companionably heads home with Sam. In "Honey's Money", Yosemite Sam tries to kill his overgrown stepson Wentworth by putting alligators in the swimming pool. Unfortunately for him, Wentworth makes such a big splash that it sends all the alligators on top of Sam. During â€œStork Nakedâ€�, Daffy sets up a group of alligators in his basement as part of his plan to get rid of The Drunk Stork. Daffy inevitably falls victim to it instead. Big Bad Limey Louie drops Daffy into the basement of his tavern in "China Jones", and it's filled with alligators. The scene notably has some Recycled Animation from â€œStork Nakedâ€�. Bugs Bunny in "Half-Fare Hare" is chased around a moving freight train by a pair of hungry hobos looking to make a meal of him. Improbably, one of the cars is carrying alligators and has an open top.....

At the Shifting Market, prisoners condemned for crimes such as rape and murder are granted a reprieve if they can fight off an angry devil fish (which is apparently like a really pissed off octopus) with naught but a tiny dagger.

When Il Palazzo's wrath is imminent the rope to open the trap door for the pit spontaneously descends (by mechanisms unknown) into his reach. In the manga, the animals in the pit become increasingly ludicrous (baboons!), while the main characters lampshade the pit's creatures on a regular basis, for example wondering if Lord Il Palazzo personally hunts the animals put down there, since there shouldn't be any members in the organization besides the main characters.

The Big Bad actually breeds the things just so he can have this nifty pool to threaten people with. People thrown in take many days to die, during which time they are in agony.

Lord Vetinari is said to have a Scorpion Pit. Various characters have mentioned it, but we've never actually seen it. In Guards! Guards!, Vetinari himself is thrown into a dungeon and reveals that his predecessor was a little too gung ho with this trope, and had used scorpions, snakes, and rats. Vetinari actually befriended and advised the rats, so now they were the only ones left (and quite loyal to him). Whether or not this is the same place as the aformentioned Scorpion Pit is unknown. Paul Kidby did an illustration of the scorpion pit for The Art of Discworld. In it is a mime. Hung upside down. Opposite an (unseen) plaque saying "LEARN THE WORDS". Do not try to do mime in Ankh-Morpork.

Shark Pool / int_5ada53ed	comment	James Bond villains are notorious for this. In Thunderball, Largo tosses a mook who has failed him into a swimming pool. Not so bad, except it has a Trap Door that opens to let in a school of hungry sharks. Bond winds up in it too, but (no need for spoiler warning here:) Bond lives. Ernst Stavro Blofeld pulls off his signature move in You Only Live Twice by dumping one of his underlings into a piranha tank. Mr. Big/Kananga has a shark pool in his Elaborate Underground Base in Live and Let Die. And earlier in his Louisiana lair, Teehee strands Bond in a large pond full of crocodiles and/or alligators. Karl Stromberg has a shark pit in his lair in The Spy Who Loved Me with push-button Trap Door access. Hugo Drax drops Bond into a pool with a reticulated python in it in Moonraker. Franz Sanchez feeds Bond's friend and collaborator Felix Leiter to a shark in a marine research facility in Licence to Kill. He survives, but is badly mutilated. Bond is certainly NOT pleased when he finds out. Skyfall. While fighting one of the mooks at a Chinese Casino, Bond and the said mook fall into a pit filled with Komodo Dragons. Bond obviously makes it out ok, the henchmen ends up becoming dinner for the lizards. Never Say Never Again. Fatima Blush turns the Caribbean into a giant version by sending electronically controlled sharks to attack Bond after placing a Tracking Device on him.

Ironically, attempting to execute a Nature Heroine in this fashion wound up taking a bite out of his own fisherman's basket instead — she got a hold of the Sharpedo's broken-off teeth and used them to break a window and drain the water out.

Alligators are 15 times bigger and proportionally meaner. And when they finally bite it, there are much more valuable bones and good leather. Tamed crocs outperform turkey in churning out tons of edible eggs... while sitting in their pool and biting in half any goblin who happened to drop in. Or be chained on the ground like guard dogs, since they're amphibious. Thus, it's possible to have a goblin dodge two guard crocs only to stumble off the road into croc pit with a handful of their brothers and sisters. Or you could just use one of the many species of shark.

Shark Pool / int_8125b468	comment	Happens regularly throughout various incarnations of Batman, where he utilizes his grappling hook at the last second. Although the Shark Repellent Bat-Spray probably deserves a special mention. And it was on a rack labeled "Oceanic Repellent Bat-Sprays" and there were three other varieties for different animals around it. In The Joker's Five-Way Revenge (a notable comics story marking the return of the psychotic murderous version of the character), the Joker threatens an old henchman (who he suspects of having betrayed him) with this... unless Batman volunteers to take his place. Naturally, Batman accepts. Naturally, the Joker reneges and dumps them both in the pool. Naturally, Batman beats the trap, rescues the hostage, and collars the Joker. In one issue of Batman: Streets of Gotham, The Carpenter (a criminal who specializes in building/fixing evil villain lairs) lampshades the prevalence of this trope while building some commissioned death-traps. However she decides not to fill the pit with alligators as planned, instead she uses electric eels.

Falsetto Jones, the lead villain of "Rufus in Show", had a tank of electric eels. In his first appearance, SeÃ±or Senior Sr. threatened Kim with ravenous koi because "the piranha have not yet arrived." (this was less than a week after he had started his supervillainous career) Cheapskate villain Frugal Lucre once threatened Kim and Ron with a kiddie pool full of baby snapping turtles in "Low Budget". Dr. Drakken goes over-the-top in "Hidden Talent" by dropping a chained-up Kim in a locked safe into a bottomless very very deep chasm filled with water, covered in six feet of ice, and containing a shark and man-eating squid. She escapes thanks to a few Contrived Coincidences. SeÃ±or Senior Sr. also had a shallow pool with crocodiles. Professor Dementor had an almost generic shark pool, filled with lava! In "Bad Boy" Evil!Ron had a piranha pool prepared in order to scare Shego into complete obedience. It worked.

Shark Pool / int_90b916ba	comment	Batman: The Animated Series The Joker does this in the episode "The Laughing Fish", in a scene adapted directly from the example under "Comic Books". "Mad Love" does this with piranhas. The Joker had concocted it as one of his many potential ways of eliminating Batman, but gave up on it because there was no way to make it funny. He had wanted to call it the "Death of a Thousand Smiles", but piranhas are incapable of smiling, even when given Joker-Venom. Harley Quinn tried to implement the plan herself to impress him, reasoning that the frowns would look like smiles if you lowered Batman into the tank upside-down. Joker was furious, however, because she had to explain the joke. In "The Underdwellers", the Sewer King tries to throw Batman into a pool of Sewer Gators, but falls in himself. However, the Sewer King laughs and explains that his alligators are 100% loyal and would never harm him.

Someone presses a button on the Cool Chair and the hero and his sidekick nearly fall into a trapdoor from which there's a bad smell and the sound of something thrashing about. Two people fall in there for real later on, but not our hero thanks to his Levitating Lotus Position.

Yikes! Pools filled with Bone Leeches are very common in the second game. And 90% of the times, the game REQUIRES you to swim through it.

A ponzi embezzler has a covered pool in his Big Fancy House, which he delights in telling his Paid Harem is full of sharks that will attack at a single drop of blood. Cue the hitwoman protagonist infiltrating by swimming through the pool, unmolested by the sharks as she's not bleeding. She then kills his bodyguards, lures the mark out onto the pool covers, Knee-capping him so he falls through an open cover. Now that there's blood in the water, the sharks attack him in a frenzy. Cue headlines: SHARKS EAT SHARK.
