Sand Sharks

Sand Sharks are Hardmode enemies found in the Desert Biome only during a Sandstorm. They are able to "swim" through all varieties of Sand, Hardened Sand, and Sandstone Blocks, but will collide normally against any other block. When they draw near a player, they will lunge out of the sand to attack.
The Sand Shark itself only appears in ordinary Deserts. There are other variants for different versions of the Desert:
* Bone Biter in the Corrupted Desert
* Crystal Thresher in the Hallowed Desert
* Flesh Reaver in the Crimson Desert

== Notes ==
* Similar to the many colors of Gel, the color of the Shark Fins dropped by Sand Sharks ( ) are different from those dropped by Sharks ( ), but they are all the same item and stack together in the inventory.
* If a Sand Shark or any of its variants enter water, it will behave like a normal Shark.
*Sand Sharks will spawn so long as there is sand 5 blocks deep in the desert.
*Sand Shark biome-specific variants will spawn on the corresponding biome block, but the player does not have to be considered in that biome for the spawn to occur.
*When creating an isolated spawning area for biome-specific Sand Shark variants, the sand should ideally be boxed in with solid non-sand blocks so the sharks cannot easily escape.
== Trivia ==
* Cenx confirmed that the inspiration for the enemy was a joke with Safemanda's daughter.https://twitter.com/Cennxx/status/768133646532370433

* The sound the dash attack makes seems to be the same as the sound from the Vampire.
* The Bone Biter looks backwards, while its banner depiction appears to be looking forward.
