<p>Iampotato: Added 2 fictional shark characters</p> <hr /> <div>{{unref}}<br /> [[File:Streetsharks.jpg|thumb|right|Ribster, Jab, Streex and Big Slammu, fictional sharks from ''[[Street Sharks]]''.]]<br /> '''Sharks''' include many [[species]] of cartilaginous [[fish]]es. They belong to the class [[wikipedia:Chondrichthyes|Chondrichthyes]], which also includes rays and skates. Sharks are among the most feared [[predator]]s on [[wikipedia:Earth|Earth]], frequently referred to{{who}} as 'mindless killing machines'. They have been featured in movies like ''[[wikipedia:Jaws (film)|Jaws]]'', ''[[wikipedia:Deep Blue Sea|Deep Blue Sea]]'' and ''[[wikipedia:Open Water (film)|Open Water]]''. Shark faces lack expression, and they can't be petted. Brushing up against that sand-paper skin, with its minute dermal denticles, results in a rug-burn.<br /> <br /> Sharks are swift, strong, silent and very well adapted to their lifestyle, remaining unchanged since the time of the [[dinosaur]]s. [[wikipedia:Shamanism|Shamanism]] attributes the shark with many fine qualities, including remorselessness and [[shapeshifting]]. They take the role of protector and savior. Sharks are gods of the sea and guardians of family, with the ability to move constantly, a connection to past knowledge, the ability to defend themselves and to never be caught off guard.<br /> <br /> Kamohoali'i was the king shark god of Oahu and the elder brother of Pele. Each island of Hawaii has their own shark god, and many families have personal shark guardians, or ''aumakuas''<br /> <br /> The '''Great Hammerhead Shark''' (''Sphyrna mokarran'') is found in all tropical waters, in both the open ocean and costal areas. Normally 12 to 18 feet in length, these sharks are easily recognized by their strange, 'hammer' shaped heads. These are used as an advanced [[:wikipedia:electroreceptory|electroreceptory]] organ and for rapid turns. Hammerhead's usual hunting behavior is slide just above the seabed and detect living prey underneath much like a metal detector. Modern research suggests that the 'hammer' may have been a spontaneous mutation, since the [[:wikipedia:Basal (phylogenetics)|basal]] species has the largest hammer of all.<br /> <br /> Unlike other species of Hammerhead, the Great Hammerhead is solitary and dangerous to [[human]]s. They feed on rays, smaller sharks and many species of bony fishes.<br /> <br /> Great Hammerhead Shark is one of the three hammerhead shark species suggested for [[Rokea]] characters ([[were]]sharks of [[World of Darkness]] RPG). They get a bonus on sight-based rolls and Social rolls with other Rokea (the system grants this bonus to all hammerhead species).<br /> ==Fictional shark characters==<br /> *Sharks (''[[Street Sharks]]'')<br /> **Ripster<br /> **Jab<br /> **Streex<br /> **Big Slammu<br /> *Sharks (''[[Shark Tale]]'')<br /> **Lenny<br /> **Don Lino<br /> **Frankie<br /> *Sharkanians (''The Little Mermaid'' (TV series))<br /> *Razor the Shark (''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie)|Archie's Sonic the Hedgehog]]'')<br /> *Prince Sidon (Legend Of Zelda Series)<br /> *Chummer (Yo-Kai Watch) <br /> *Garchomp (Pokémon Series)<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> * [[:Category:Shark characters|Shark characters]]<br /> * [[Wikipedia:Shark|Shark]] on Wikipedia<br /> <br /> {{species-stub}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Fish species]]<br /> <br /> [[ja:サメ]]<br /> [[ru:Акулы]]<br /> [[it:Squalo]]</div>
