Description
Weresharks could take three different forms: humanoid form, shark form, and hybrid form. However, they could only take such forms in darkness.[5] In human form, weresharks were often hulking and brutish,[1] and seemed to be maimed in some sort of way, such as severe scarring, although this was not visible after shapechanging.[3] Their shark form resembled a great white shark.[1]

History

Weresharks may have originated as vengeful humans transformed into lycanthropes by Umberlee or Talos during the Time of Troubles. Some believed they originated from these gods choosing to grant them power, while others believed that humans that survived shark attacks somehow gained the ability to shapechange into one of the creatures.[1][3] In the 14th century a group of weresharks took to inhabiting the forest of Neth Stand and became engaged in a bitter rivalry with a nearby tribe of scrags.[11]
