Want to make a (usually) aquatic situation a dangerous nightmare? One way is sharks. 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. Has the Big Bad got you? He won't shoot, that'd be too fast, he'll instead lower you into a Shark Pool. If you're swimming or anywhere near water, the last thing you want to hear is "shark". In fictionland, or rather fiction-ocean, many sharks are unstoppable sea-monster killing machines which devour everything in sight: fish, seals, people... license plates, car tires, suits of armour, car parts, severed human limbs. Sometimes they'll even attack ships: that's how badass they are. Most animals eat to live, but sharks live to eat. Sharks are the ultimate Rule of Cool. 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. Perhaps it's because they have changed very little in the millions of years they existed. It doesn't matter, they're the most badass animal that isn't extinct or made up. If they ever find a way to take to the land or air, it would surely be the end of us all. Really, if Sand Is Water, expect Land Sharks. In some cases, prehistoric sharks such as megalodons are used instead of modern ones, sometimes with them being portrayed as Sea Monsters. (Cool as they are, there are still ways to enhance them.) Sub-Trope of Fiendish Fish. A Super-Trope to Shark Man. Often first seen as a tell-tale Shark Fin of Doom. Compare 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. You can relax if there are Devious Dolphins though, since they make perfect rivals to these sharks. Contrast Shamu Fu, the one situation where things may legitimately get better when you add a shark. Do not confuse with tropes with other meanings of "shark", such as Loan Shark, Voodoo Shark, or media references like Jump the Shark. Ironically, sharks are nowhere near as dangerous as the stereotype makes them out to be. Hundreds of people have been attacked and killed over the last few centuries. That sounds like a lot, but compare it to the tens of thousands of fatalities to large felines, bears, crocodiles, and plenty of domestic animals and it becomes positively puny. Out of the over 400 known species of sharks, only 35 have been documented to attack humans, and of those none do so remotely often. Even the infamous Great White, a shark specially evolved to feed off mammals, generally ignores humans in all but freak incidents (as humans lack the nutrient rich blubber this shark seeks, bitten people are usually ignored after the first strike). The rate of shark attacks and deaths average out to about a few deaths a year globally, making them less dangerous than elephants, jellyfish, domestic animals like horses and dogs, and the common staircase, especially when one considers the millions of humans who enter shark habitats every year without incident. In fact, many sharks are surprisingly intelligent and social animals, rather than the mindless carnivores they're portrayed as, and they've taken on a diversity of habitats and body designs beyond the usual torpedo shape. And despite their reputation as the terror of the seas, sharks aren't even the top predator. That distinction goes to orcas a.k.a. killer whales, who regularly hunt sharks to dine on their livers. However, because orcas, for the most part, are curious creatures that not only do not prey on humans but are actually intelligent enough to team up with them to take down whales, they do not have the fearsome reputation of, say, the Great White. |

Aladdin: The Series Two episodes deal with a gigantic, shark-like beast that swims through sand like water and has a fortune of treasures pressed into its underside. In the first episode, it attacks Agrabah and Aladdin and friends join with a hunter who had been after the shark for years, and they succeeded in driving it off. In the second episode, the shark is slain by a race of Ewok-like desert hunters working for an evil wizard, but Aladdin and the hunter use its skeleton to repair the hunter's ship and fight the wizard. In another episode, Aladdin actually becomes a shark via a Forced Transformation spell from a Clingy Jealous Girl mermaid and is forced to attack Genie, Iago, and Abu. |

Finding Dory averts this with Destiny, who is indeed a shark: a whale shark. She still has as big a mouth as, or maybe even bigger than, her fellow brethren, yet is still non-threatening because she has no teeth. Truth in Television: in Real Life, whale sharks are plankton-eaters, unable to eat anything bigger than a goldfish. | |

Jaws, the original book by Peter Benchley. Benchley also wrote White Shark (later re-titled Peter Benchley's Creature), about a genetically engineered Half-Human Hybrid Nazi shark. A keen environmentalist, he later regretted his contribution to the Threatening Shark trope and wrote several non-fiction books about sharks and their important place in the ecosystem. | |

Another one for sharks that don't eat everything in sight, Finding Nemo. Not quite vegetarians, it's hinted that they eat dolphins, and they have a "slip" every now and then and eat a fish. The heroes run into three, including one named Bruce, a Shout-Out to the Jaws prop. Finding Dory averts this with Destiny, who is indeed a shark: a whale shark. She still has as big a mouth as, or maybe even bigger than, her fellow brethren, yet is still non-threatening because she has no teeth.

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea A frogman kills a shark just for swimming near them, on the presumption that it's going to attack. It's a carpenter shark, which tend not to harm humans unless threatened. Zigzagged when a scientist on board the Seaview, which is large enough to have its own Shark Pool for marine research, is shown in the pool with the shark 'walking' it around the pool so it won't drown after being drugged for a medical examination. Later the trope is played straight when someone falls into the pool and is eaten by the now fully conscious shark. |

The Mermaid Chronicles: When Cordelia was thirteen, she lost her mother and brother to a shark attack. Now the news reports an unusually high number of shark attacks, much to the confusion of her father, who studies sharks and knows they shouldn't be that aggressive. They're not regular sharks — they're shapeshifters called selachii. Zale and his gang have been killing humans to turn them into selachii in order to wage war against the High Council. | |

Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics): Razor the Shark is hot-headed and a little bloodthirsty, but he's one of the good guys; being a loyal bodyguard and friend to Meropis' priestess Coral the Betta and has an almost brotherly bond with her apprentice Pearly the Manta Ray. To cement this, his pet Chao, Crusher, takes after his personality, something Chao only do to those who show them love and care. Razor's sister Blade. She's cold, blunt, and generally rude and unpleasant to be around (her brother, captain, and father figure being the exceptions), she has no regard for others' well-being and openly admits she enjoys stealing from and hurting people for the sense of triumph and glory. |

Ranma ½: In the early manga, Ranma and Cologne fight at the beach and in the ocean. When Cologne touches down lightly on the surface of the water, everyone is astonished at how an Old Master can find footing even on a floating twig. Turns out she landed on top of a great white shark, which she somehow commandeers to do her bidding. It doesn't end well for the shark when Ranma goes into the Cat-Fist, though. The anime, for some reason, traded the beach fight (the final part of the Phoenix Pill storyline) for a fight in the mountains; apparently, they figured Cologne using telekinesis to fling showers of ice boulders would be more dramatic. Both the manga and an anime episode have Akane accepting Principal "Nutjob" Kunô's offer to teach her how to swim. Plan 1: strap a big boulder to her back and toss her into the pool... which is currently home to a four-meter-long shark. |

Her Trouble causes her to manifest these dangers to people she believes might rescue her. As such, an imaginary shark gobbles a woman in a pool, among other, less immediately fatal occurrences. | |

Redwall Sharks often show up during the seafaring scenes. In The Bellmaker, Finbarr Galedeep sings a silly song about sharks, and later that evening a very worried Rufe Brush comes and asks him what a shark looks like. He tells him that mostly all you'll see is a big pointy fin, to which Rufe responds "Does it look like this one circling our ship, sir?" And in Triss, Krrova, Scarum, and Saxtus run across a shark at least twice. |

Prehistoric Park Reimagined: Heavily zigzagged. The lonchidion, xenacanthus, stethacanthus, gogoselachus, and otodus auriculatus all prove aversions (with the lonchidion and xenacanthus being too small and seemingly docile to be much of a threat, the gogoselachus and stethacanthus being more curious than aggressive, and the otodus auriculatus being perfectly willing to nonviolently share an offering of meat that's already in the midst of getting eaten by a group of pterosphenus). The otodus angustidens, however, are portrayed as intimidating predators that menace a pod of zygorhiza in the midst of undergoing birthing of their young. | |

Even at the end, as Granny and Tweety leave on a cruise ship, that bad ol' putty tat still tries to go after the little yellow bird, while the shark still goes after Sylvester. |

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012) has Armaggon, who was also in some of the comics and the SNES Tournament Fighters, in the fourth season. This version of the character is an alien Shark Man who is a bounty hunter and wears bulky power armor that also doubles as his spaceship. It features twin laser Gatling guns, missile launchers, and a very powerful mouth hatch with metal-shredding teeth, in addition to his own razor-lined mouth inside. He's hired to hunt down the Turtles and bring them to Dregg, the main villain of season 4, and the Turtles later succeed in making the hunt personal for Armaggon, creating a secondary recurring villain. | |

Hoshigaki Kisame from Naruto is a human with shark-like traits and has an affinity for attacks that use water including several that blasts the opponent with water shaped like at least one shark. He also has a shark-like sword, which he can merge with to become a full blown half-man half-shark creature.Unlike the animal stereotype, though, Kisame seems rather played straight. He seems to have a good sense of humor, is definitely the most mentally sound of the Akatsuki, and has a certain joie-de-vivre that his partner needed to pick up on (and on the note of his partner... Kisame seems to have been more of a father toward Itachi than Fugaku). In general, he is a polite, intelligent, and a very social man... however, his mere presence seems to announce "You lose," with natural chakra reserves rivaling the Jinchuriki, who host 100-meter-tall chakra demons. Until even more fittingly he meets Killer Bee... who has octopus traits.Kisame's shark appearance takes on even greater meaning when you consider his backstory. He kills all his comrades so that they won't get captured and interrogated by Ibiki, then kills his superior, the previous wielder of Samehada, for selling him out. After being paired with Akatsuki, he notes that they were put together because both had killed their comrades, noting how sharks' offspring kill and eat each other. | |

In the Not Quite a Mermaid series, these are a common threat. The coral reef around Mermaid Island protects the mermaids who live in the lagoon, but venturing into the open ocean is dangerous, and at one point some sharks get into the lagoon through a hole in the reef. Splash the dolphin is orphaned by sharks, and as he tries to escape, he beaches himself on Craggy Island. He only survives because Electra finds him, helps him back into the ocean, and takes him to Mermaid Island with her. | |

Captain Planet and the Planeteers: "The Predator" lampshades and plays with the trope. The episode begins with Ma-Ti freaking out when he sees a huge shark (which Gi later identifies as a basking shark) following him while he swims. The townspeople hear the discussion and panic as well, which leads them to bring in Bleak. When Gaia gives them the standard pre-mission breakdown, Wheeler comments that he feels pretty weird trying to save sharks, and Gaia explains that only some sharks are potential man-eaters and all of them are important to the ecosystem. | |

South Scrimshaw: The Penumbra Shark is described as the fastest predator in the oceans of Aria. It notably has a foldable dorsal fin like certain real-life sailfish that it can retract when it needs to swim faster. One Penumbra Shark ambushes the Calf's Brillo Whale pod as they are journeying across the open ocean at night. Another calf is gruesomely killed by the shark, while the protagonist Calf's mother dies from the exertion of defending him from the shark due to a preexisting parasitic infection. When, years later, the Calf sees a male Brillo Whale that has formed a symbiotic relationship with a group of Chowper sharks that are described as "stupid but friendly" and are visibly much smaller and less dangerous than the Penumbra Shark, the Calf is still too traumatized to go anywhere near them. | |

Toriko has a plethora of unusual and powerful shark animals in the world, including the Gator Shark (a fresh-water giant shark with a crocodile-like mouth), Great Leg (amphibious shark with four legs), Warner Shark (a shark with teeth so strong they can bite through a submarine), Sand Shark (sand-swimming shark), Fly Shark (giant sharks able to fly with their fin-like wings), Big Bang Shark (a flying, pitch black Animalistic Abomination), the Denshark (a shark/train hybrid) and the Raizame (an uber-powerful giant shark with electrical fangs). | |

11 years before the first Austin Powers movie, Centurions actually had sharks with Frickin' Laser Beams. In the episode "Man or Machine", Max Ray is menaced by a "Cybervore," a shark that Cyborg Mad Scientist Doc Terror has outfitted with high tech weaponry. | |

The SCP Foundation's alternate universe counterpart, the Shark Punching Center,note A Running Gag on "SPC", a common typo of "SCP" takes the threat of sharks very seriously. There's two joke articles, SCP-3284-J and SCP-7475-J, an orientation transcript, and even a tiny wiki of its own. A more serious example is SCP-1057, which is literally a living blank space with the shape and behavior of a tiger shark. |

Discworld In Terry Pratchett's The Last Continent, the wizards, out at sea, see one. One wizard starts to burble about how they are maligned and list all their wonderful attributes. Unfortunately, it's the list about wolves, not sharks. At the beginning of Interesting Times, a shark tries to attack Rincewind, but is eaten by the Luggage. Jingo: "Vimes's grin was as funny as the one that moves very fast towards drowning men. And has a fin on top." |

James Bond: Felix Leiter in Live and Let Die is captured by the bad guys, who proceed to lower him into the pool with a hungry shark, which bites off a hand and a leg from him. Later Bond must swim to the Big Bad's Island Base which is surrounded by sharks, but he's more concerned about barracudas because he knows sharks typically don't attack people of their own accord. Turns out the villains throw blood and offal into the water every night to send them into a feeding frenzy. As Bond swims his way to the secret island base of the Nebulous Evil Organization SPECTRE in Nobody Lives for Ever, he is chased to the ground by a bull shark which he happens to come by. |

Total Drama Island features freshwater sharks. Revenge of the Island has them return. One shark in particular, due to exposure of toxic waste, was mutated so that it can breathe air as well as water, and can walk on land. In All-Stars, Scott reveals that sharks are his greatest fear due to said land-shark brutally attacking him last season, forcing him into a trauma chair after his elimination. Don't worry, he got better. |

It is even stronger than expected from its size, capable of casually destroying buildings by ramming them and jumping several stories into the air. On top of that, it has telepathic powers that it can use to paralyze people or to forcibly draw them into an alternate dimension with a five storey-deep flood, giving itself the home field advantage. | |

In For Your Eyes Only, Bond and Melina are keelhauled by the Big Bad as bait for prowling tiger sharks. One of his own mooks gets eaten instead which doesn't bother him much. Fortunately he thinks the sharks have taken care of Bond and Melina as well, when they actually escaped. And in Never Say Never Again, SPECTRE villainess Fatima Blush plants a homing device on James Bond that will summon sharks to attack him. |

Pirates Constructible Strategy Game introduced giant, boat-sized sharks as a new Sea Monster unit in the ninth set, "Ocean's Edge". They were the smallest of the sea monsters with only two segments, compared to the Sea Serpents with four and Kraken and Leviathan with five, and like most sea monsters were considered Awesome, but Impractical due to their fragility and inability to carry crew or cargo like normal ships. | |

Le Magnifique: This French movie, a parody of spy flicks, begins with a spy character "eaten by a shark while in a phone booth." Yes, that's how it is actually described in the movie. To be more specific, the phone booth was lifted up by a helicopter with the spy inside, dropped into the sea, and then a caged shark was freed to attack him while still in the phone booth. Hard to top as a needlessly complicated execution method... | |

The second sequel, Deep Blue Sea 3, plays this straight with the genetically-engineered offspring of the previous film's shark. Interestingly, the film portrays this trio as unnaturally aggressive, while the ordinary sharks living in the area are accurately portrayed as animals with little interest in human divers. Then there is "Sally", a large female Great White the protagonist has spent years studying — while she makes a threatening dominance display at the beginning of the film, Sally later ends up saving Emma from an attacker. | |

Deep Blue Sea: The only thing worse than sharks? Super-intelligent sharks. The scientists were extracting some kind of fluid from the sharks' brains for their research. They genetically modified them to grow larger brains so they could extract more fluid. Of course, larger brains also meant smarter sharks. Most notable is how the character played by none other than Samuel L. Jackson is eaten by one of these sharks while indoors. Notably, the sharks were explicitly mentioned to be mutated makos and not great whites. | |

Exalted: Benthic knifeooths are sharks up to twenty feet long and with slender, serpentine bodies. They get their name from their wickedly serrated teeth, which snag in the flesh of their prey — which translates to almost anything smaller than themselves — to prevent it from escaping. Luckily, they live in the very deep ocean and far from human settlement. Less luckily, there are plenty of things in Creation, ranging from idle curiosity on the shark's part to a sea god in a bad mood, that can drive one towards the shallows and into contact with humans. | |

Yellowbeard: This pirate comedy plays with this when the title character's wife is taken captive by the Royal Navy and pumped for information offscreen; when she's ready to talk, she says, "I think it was that shark that jogged my memory." "The Shark" is the handsome sailor (David Bowie in a cameo) who brings her into the office, who has a shark's fin strapped to his back; he "jogged her memory" via sex. | |

Codex Alera Subverted when Captain Demos mentions that sharks are likely to be more of a problem to a group of swimmers than leviathans... But when a shark messes with Isana, she throws it bodily out of the water and up twenty feet onto the deck of a pirate ship. Played straight before that when Tavi had his army dump the blood and guts from butchered animals in the river when he was defending a bridge, attracting sharks from miles downstream and ensuring that any Canim attempting to swim around the bridge wouldn't make it very far. |

Cyclone (1978): Zigzagged. Sharks show up three times in the 118 minute movie. The first time, one of them kills a man with injured legs who is drifting in the water but leaves everyone else alone. The second time, the survivors fish for the shark for food and injure it with their hook. When one of them falls into the water, he's in a hurry to get back aboard before the shark goes after him, but it doesn't seem to go after him. In the final scene, though, a school of sharks attack the drifting characters who are awaiting rescue and kill several of them even though none of them are bleeding at first. | |

The sharks were supplied by a couple of rednecks who want to cash in on the Discovery Channel's Shark Week craze...by feeding college students to the sharks, and recording video footage of the attacks to post online, sell to various channels, etc. | |

Dungeons & Dragons The monster called the bulette, better known as the "land shark", is an aggressive predator that burrows through the soil, complete with fin cutting through the surface of the ground as it burrows toward you. D&D also has sharks that live in acid and lava. Because even when you're drowning in acid or lava, sometimes it's just too easy. The monster entry for the acid-breathing shark sums it up pretty well: "What's worse than a pit full of acid? A pit full of acid with a shark in it." It also has regular sharks, the megalodon (giant prehistoric shark), and weresharks. The sahuagin are sometimes depicted as humanoid sharks, and their patron deity Sekolat takes the form of a giant shark. The terlen is a shark-like creature found across the Lower Planes, with elongated fins that allow it to fly, or even wriggle across dry land in pursuit of prey. Their Planescape entry notes that terlens' shark ancestors were hardy and dangerous enough to thrive in the worst waters of the multiverse before they were mutated into amphibious predators. |

She doesn't, he does, the sharks go mad, and the narrator interrupts to say that, of course, Buttercup doesn't get eaten at that time. (The movie replaced the sharks with shrieking eels.) | |

Neopets: The shark-like Jetsam neopet species was introduced as the Evil Counterpart to the innocent narwhal-like Flotsams, described as mostly unfriendly and vicious. The first major Jetsam character on the site, Spectre, first appeared as a minor plot antagonist before becoming the Final Boss of "Cheat!", a card game. Though the species's villainous depiction has considerably mellowed out after the site's early days, they still look always ready to start a fight. True to their predatory nature, they're the only species that can be fed petpets along with foodnote not counting Skeiths and Grarrls, which can be fed ANYTHING. Subverted with the Sharky petpet; the item description says that, though they look fierce, they don't have any teeth. |

The main plot point of a Doraemon Fishing Episode, "The Jaws of the Parking Lot". Nobita wants to go fishing but doesn't feel like traveling too far, so Doraemon uses a gadget to turn the Open Lot into an impromptu pool where fishes from the Atlantic can swim through soil and fished out. Then a Great White somehow made it into the lot and crosses the boundary, requiring Nobita and Doraemon to track it down before it can attack anyone. Said Great White nearly chomps on Nobita, but Doraemon arrives right on time with a portal hoop, where the Great White jumps through and back into the ocean (This short was partially used as a sub-plot of Doraemon: Nobita's Great Battle of the Mermaid King via Adaptation Amalgamation). | |

The Fangface episode "A Toothy Shark Is No Lark" has a cruise ship threatened by a gigantic shark, under the command of an evil fish man. There's a lot of shenanigans with Fangface trying to hold the shark's mouth open with a car-jack so it won't bite him. Eventually the fish man is arrested and the shark, thoroughly confused by the experience, returns to the sea. Also invoked in the earlier episode "A Creep From The Deep", when Fangface attempts to eat Puggsy while scuba diving, prompting Puggsy to cry "Help! Jaws has caught me in his jaws!" |

The second Young Wizards novel has a ninety-foot long shark as a major character. While he doesn't make things worse for the good guys, he definitely makes things worse for the bad guys. However, he still scares the crap out of his allies, because he will eat anything that's in distress, including his friends. Note that he's not a great white: he's older than that SPECIES of shark, considering that, you know, he was the original shark to accept the first Silent One's sacrifice. | |

Action: The old British comic had a serial called Hook Jaw. The title character was a great white shark. None of the other characters lasted more than one story... Well, except for the token good human in the first story, though even he got eaten alive about two-thirds of the way through the second story. | |

Played straight in one episode of H₂O: Just Add Water, subverted in another. This show's version of Driven to Suicide has Cleo swim into the middle of a known shark breeding ground (don't worry, she lives). Another episode has Rikki deciding to enter a short film competition about heroes and make the film about sharks. Because she is a mermaid she is able to get much closer to sharks in their natural habitat with a camera than professionals (she can't use the footage however for the same reasons). When Zane runs into sharks Rikki simply uses her powers to heat up the water and scare them off. | |

Batman: Batman even keeps Shark-Repellent Bat-Spray in his utility belt! There's also the Batman villain Great White, a former "white collar criminal". It started as a nickname due to his shady financial practices. However he gets sent to Arkham and, well... let's just say he ends up with an Astonishingly Appropriate Appearance. |

Dive (2003): Zigzagged. When Kaz sees a shark on his first dive, he panics, stabs it, and is promptly rebuked for doing so, with Captain Vanover lambasting Jaws for creating a negative stereotype of animals who will swim past divers without a moment of aggression unless there's already blood in the water. However, whenever there is blood in the water, an eighteen-foot tiger shark nicknamed Clarence is willing to hungrily lunge at the heroes while displaying a wide maw of teeth. | |

In The Coral Island, the castaways paddle out into the lagoon on a log to fish, only to find themselves pursued by a shark. They briefly distract it by throwing the fish they've caught at it. Then Jack beats it off with a paddle, upsetting the log and dumping the three of them into the water. By that point they're close enough to swim to shore before the shark gets close to them again, but they never venture into the lagoon again until they've built a proper boat. | |

Late in Christian Humber Reloaded, the main character meets a shark/human hybrid named Chridion. Chridion manages the improbable feat of gaining the upper hand against the God-Mode Sue protagonist for most of the fight, largely due to his superior speed and Shoulder Cannon, only conceding defeat when Vash powers up enough to almost destroy the world. | |

In Book 4 of Forged Destiny. Wouldn't you know it, the one time Jaune takes a dip in the ocean, he is surrounded by a shiver of sharks with one quickly latching onto his leg. Justified as they were drawn to the large number of bodies tied to the ocean floor and the one that grabbed him quickly pulled him to the surface, as it was asked to by Qrow, a Druid. All of the sharks then work together and attack the large Grimm that had knocked Jaune into the ocean to begin with. | |

Indiana Jones: Indiana Jones And The Tomb Of The Gods: Oh, so the Big Bad Nazi has Indy at gunpoint in a seized ship miles away from the nearest coast. If he kills him there nobody will know. But does he shoot him? Naaah, that would be too easy. Better drop him in a lifeboat with no oars to starve or die of dehydration. But wait, that would be too slow. Shoot the boat with a machine gun so it'll sink sooner or later. Enough? Nope, make a cut on the Girl of the Week's arm and kick her into the water so sharks will smell her blood and do a Zerg Rush to the area. And if loads and loads of sharks aren't scary enough, don't worry, a massive Great White will show up to teach them the job. The Further Adventures of Indiana Jones: In issue #20, the villain attempts to escape from Indy by jumping overboard and swimming away. However, he inadvertently swims into chummed water (created when he threw a bucket of chum at Indy at missed) and his devoured by sharks attracted by the chum. |

Though, whilst citing the time period as being the Cenozoic Era is accurate enough, and the creature being introduced with a giant fin cutting through the water, when the Megalodon is actually seen under the water, it looks less like a giant shark, and is closer to looking like a Mosasaur, a group of sea-lizards that went extinct about the same time as the dinosaurs. | |

Animorphs This trope is invoked as early as the fourth book. That's when the kids morph dolphin and end up on the wrong end of a battle with sharks, leaving Marco almost bitten in half. Dealing with the intrinsic fear of sharks the experience left him with is a major plot point in The Escape. In The Escape, the fifteenth book in the series, it is revealed that Yeerks have established an underwater base where they capture hammerhead sharks and implant brain-controlling chips in their heads to turn them into shock troopers for an invasion of an alien aquatic world inhabited by psychic man-frogs... The brain-controlling chips are mostly intended to make them smarter... smart enough to hunt in packs like wolves do. Also to enlarge their earholes for even more convenient brain control. The Animorphs later go to said alien world morphed into hammerheads themselves. It proves to be an inspired choice. |

BattleTech: Minor historical tidbit: The totemic animal of Clan Sea Fox got all but wiped out by a new predator introduced into its native oceans by a rival Clan. The Sea Foxes turned insult into opportunity and simply adopted said predator as their new totem instead; today, they're known as Clan Diamond Shark. The Diamond Sharks somewhat subvert this, however; they generally would rather do business with you than fight you and treat their civilians well by Clan standards. The Rim Worlds Republic played it straight; their government was often brutal and they eventually gave rise to an Evil Chancellor who would destroy the Star League and plunge human space into 300 years of war. The symbol of the RWR? A shark. |

Walking with Dinosaurs. During "Cruel Sea", there are plenty of sharks (called Hybodus) about, but they aren't the top predator. That would be Liopleurodon, one of the few creatures that is proven to always make things even worse than they are with sharks. How much worse? Try 21 ft aquatic reptilian killing machine with a combined jaw size of just under 9.5 ft. Run. | |

Mr. Shark in The Bad Guys book series is considered a dangerous villain, known for eating anyone and anything in sight. He's considered such a threat that his case file hardly even has any info on it, and has the biggest warning out of the others. Despite this, he's still hired on by Mr. Wolf to pull a change to good, much to his confusion and irritation. Despite this, he goes through with the change in earnest, possibly one of the more earnest ones in the group, and ends up as one of the most sensitive members of the group. | |

Her worries come true late in the book, when she's swimming along the seafloor with a heavy backpack and a tiger shark grabs the backpack and starts shaking her. Luckily for her, a pod of heroic dolphins comes to her rescue by ramming into the shark and chasing it off. | |

At one point in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Captain Nemo invites Professor Arronax on an underwater stroll to visit a pearl fishery, and then mentions the prospect of sharks. This makes the professor quite nervous: "So there I was, daydreaming about sharks capable of cutting a man in two with their row upon row of teeth. I could already feel a pain in my side." Talking to his friends a few minutes later, he accidentally speaks of "a hundred and fifty sharks" instead of "a hundred and fifty pearls." | |

While crossing the harbor to reach the city after escaping captivity, the group meets a great white shark named Jacinta, who is a Nice Girl that helps them by informing them of the Ugly Secret Society's existence and giving them a lift to the other side of the harbor. On the other hand, she doesn't deny Maddie's assumption of her having eaten more people than Maddie is capable of poisoning and accepts her self-given title of "the face of death". | |

One Piece: Of all the Fish-men, the shark ones are definitely the worst to run into. Arlong, the main antagonist of the East Blue arc, is a sawshark. And a Loan Shark to boot. Jimbei who is definitely making everything worse for the World Government by teaming up with Luffy and Crocodile is a whale shark. He soon inverts this trope, summoning a whole school of friendly, grinning whale sharks to carry the escaped prisoners to safety. Not much of a surprise, since whale sharks can't eat mammals — they feed on krill and tiny fish, instead. Now things are even worse with Hody Jones' crew, which has four different shark Fishmen, Jones himself being a great white shark. Add on Captain of the Flying Dutchman, Van Der Decken IX, who is a bullhead shark. Not as fearsome as a great white, but he seems to be the main villain of this arc. The trope is also inverted by Prince Fukaboshi, a shark merman (unspecified, which is odd considering Oda's penchant for classifying his mer/fishpeople) who the Strawhats assume is there to give them trouble and run away... when he intended to personally invite them to the royal palace and give Luffy a message from Jimbei. Also averted with Madame Sharley, who is very polite and calm. As long as you're not rude around her. This is even more notorious because she is the younger sister of Arlong, of all merpeople. Also inverted again by Megalo, a friendly pet shark of the Neptune royal family. |

Aside from the page quote given above, Futurama has a couple other examples. The Carcarons of "Zapp Dingbat" are a race of shark-like aliens that Zapp Brannigan is working on negotiations with. Given that this is Zapp we are talking about talking to a race of Shark Men with little tolerance for any slights towards them, things go about as well as you'd expect. In the episode "A Taste of Freedom", one display at the Museum of Ancient Weapons is of a "Sharkapult", which is Exactly What It Says on the Tin. |

Magic: The Gathering: The Shark creature type originally debuted with Giant Shark, which remained the only such card for a long while; the Grand Creature Type Update of '07 later changed its type to Fish, which is what Hammerhead Shark was released as. Unfortunately, since they're sharks, they can only attack if the opposing planeswalker is near a body of water (i.e. they have islands). Since your character is a plane-shifting physical god, you can turn your opponents' lands into islands with certain spells. The Ikoria set would later properly reintroduce the Shark type, retconning a few older cards to be typed as such. Notable specimens introduced after this change include the huge Voracious Greatshark, shown maw-first as it pursues a hapless rowboat, and Spiked Megalodon, a beast big enough to shatter a galleon with one bite. | |

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: In Part 3, Jotaro Kujo saves the little girl Anne from a shark, using his Stand, Star Platinum, to sock it out of the water in a single punch. Part 5, the situation is played straight with Squalo's Stand, Clash, which that takes the form of a metallic shark with three eyes. Its power is teleport from one body of water (or other mostly-water liquid like a bowl of soup or glass of wine), capture its targets, and drag them along on the teleporting trips (where, if Squalo isn't stopped quickly enough, they'll drown). What's more, Clash is supplemented by Talking Head, the Stand of his partner, Tiziano, which can force a person to only tell lies, so even if you see Clash, you can't tell anyone. |

Much like Transformers: Robots in Disguise, Beast Wars provides an aversion with Cybershark. A Maximal, his bio describes him as a swashbuckling hero who chases after space pirates. He never appeared in the series, however, and only appears in the IDW comics. Played straight elsewhere, however, particularly with the Seacon Overbite. He did appear, in a fashion, as the Predacon Sky-byte in Transformers: Robots in Disguise. | |

Gawr Gura of hololive subverts this. Despite being a Cute Monster Girl based on a shark, complete with Scary Teeth, she's a chipper and sweet-tempered Genki Girl whose ill will towards others is largely limited towards messing with them in cooperative gaming. Played straighter with her Evil Counterpart, Gawr, who was first mentioned in her Image Song and later manifested in an unarchived concert, though even this is a Downplayed Trope in that the worst she did was insulting the chat members watching her stream and finding the original Gura's "cheerful idol persona" to be grating. | |

The Ultra Series has its share of shark-based water kaiju: Samekujira is the last monster from Ultraman Taro and a kaiju-sized alien shark-whale brought to earth by an alien invader named Valky. It can travel on land, however, as well as having traits borrowed from sawfish in it's beak. Ultraman Tiga has a Land Shark monster called a Geozark, who spends most of the episode drilling throughout the city with it's fin being the only part of the monster that's visible. Subverted when it turns out to be a tunnelling robot created by Keigo Masaki. Ultraman Belial is meant to resemble a shark, with his sharp head crest and dorsal fin, mouth full of sharp teeth and black, muscular body. Genegarg from Ultraman Z is based on a tiger shark (even bearing the Boss Subtitles "Ferocious Space Shark"!) and like real-life tiger sharks, would gladly chomp on and swallow literally everything in its way, including another monster called Bullton. It's especially threatening since it's heavily implied to be a bioweapon Celebro obtained from a previous Civilization Self-Destruction Game. |

The Suicide Squad has Nanaue, aka King Shark, a simple-minded but extremely lethal man/shark hybrid descended from an ancient shark god who likes to kill his enemies by eating them. Physically, he is easily the toughest member of the Suicide Squad in the film, able to withstand a ton of gunfire and get back up, and also the most dangerous in hand-to-hand combat. | |

SpongeBob SquarePants: Played with in one episode where SpongeBob accidentally becomes the new lifeguard. Another episode has SpongeBob joining a gang of sharks and worrying they could be thugs. Subverted in that the sharks turned out be decent guys, and their gang is actually a dancing troop. Played straight when Mrs. Puff gets fired and replaced with a Drill Sergeant Nasty shark instead. However, even he is unable to teach Spongebob how to successfully drive, so Mrs. Puff is hired again. |

Open Water: The first film, anyway. Double subversion, since nothing bad happens the first time a shark appears. The problem is later when it, presumably, gets curious and comes back... with friends. From then on, it just gets worse. Also notable is the fact that not only are the sharks all real (even the ones interacting with the actors) but are all species one would have a reasonably good chance of encountering in Real Life, compared to, say, the more-famous-but-rarer great white. The third film has the imperiled protagonists on a shark-watching trip. Their boat capsizes, and thanks to all the chum that their tour guides threw in the water to attract the sharks, they now have to contend with a myriad of them hovering around. |

Sharks are the main antagonists in Seal Team (2021), playing the standard Carnivores Are Mean schtick. Curiously, the movie plays with it by also introducing Dave the basking shark, which true to life is harmless but very much despised by everyone, and the credits semi-address the problems of shark depictions in media before devolving into a joke about Dave eating car tires. | |

The Punisher: Barracuda from MAX series, a badass hitman, manages to win a brutal fight with the Punisher. Instead of just shooting him, Barracuda throws him into the ocean with a bleeding gangster and a Great White. An earlier one-shot had a villain attempt to shoot Castle, who was standing in front of an Aquarium shark tank. Castle dived out of the way, and somehow, the handgun bullets managed to shatter the tank and send an angry shark right at the gangster. |

Get him in a bad mood, and you can have sharks and Eldritch Abominations up your ass. Aquaman (1991) had sharks swarm Poseidonis on instinct after smelling the blood, and Aquaman does his best to stop them without killing them. Also subverted when he finds Atlanteans attacking a nurse shark, one of the friendliest of the species, and berates them for it. |

Dam Sharks: A ferocious coastal storm sweeps several dozen bull sharks far upstream into a wildlife park, where for some reason they start emulating beavers by both hunting as a pack and building dams made up of equal parts floating logs and bodyparts from their kills as a combination of water trap and food locker. The fact that this kind of behavior has no precedent in reality is actually lampshaded, but the film never explains it. | |

Sealab 2021 In the episode "Tinfins", Dr. Quinn placed a shark's brain into a robot shark's body. And then there's the episode where they are trapped in an underwater cave with their oxygen supply running out, with a very persistent Great White waiting for them at the only way out. They end up dying at the end of the episode when they run out of air. Subverted with the shark that (allegedly) killed Marco: Marco was sleeping with his wife, so it's hard to blame him. The half-human, half-shark Sharko that resulted however, is the Butt-Monkey and Cousin Oliver of Sealab. |

Sea Monsters has sharks as well. Stethacanthus in the Devonian barely even registers as a threat. There's also the obligatory Megalodon in the Pliocene. (For reference, the babies are the size of an adult Great White.) The Jurassic still has Hybodus, and the Cretaceous has more sharks that barely register as a threat. There are also Xiphactinus (a.k.a. The Ugliest Fish in History) and giant mosasaurs, just to make the sharks look irrelevant. | |

They are attracted by the trash the family dumps (the film was made before most environmental regulations), and when Fred tries to divert them away by spraying a shark-attracting chemical nearby, the current carries it back to the house and the sharks follow. | |

The manga Gyo is about fishes with mechanical legs that crawl out of the ocean and invade the city, infecting the people with poisonous gases. Needless to say, there is a shark involved, and that's when things get really bad. There is a scene where a shark kicks down a door, with a big GASHUNK sound in the English version. According to Junji Ito, his entire motivation for creating the series can be summed up as "sharks are scary, but they can't go out of the water—therefore, a shark that can go out of the water would be incredibly scary." | |

Transformers has several examples: Generation One had the Sharkticons, animalistic slaves/goons of the Quintessons, who kept a shark pit in their courtroom. Anyone who got put on trial ended up in the shark pit. Later on, there was Overbite of the Seacons, who turned into a shark with arms and legs. The Universe toyline established a piece of Cybertronian wildlife known as the Oxide Sharks. Beast Wars: Uprising expanded on them a little further — they can transform as well, in this case into torpedoes, aimed at anyone foolish enough to come near them. |

She is the most obviously reckless of the three Satomi siblings and, especially in early chapters, sometimes has a tendency to make situations worse by sheer accident. However, she is described as having a cute smile despite having a carnivore's dental work. In battle against her father, she summons a megalodon and a swarm of other sharks to fight him. | |
