Weaknesses: Can still suffocate if she remains on land for too long regardless of age or constant feeding (although she becomes better at doing so as she "ages"), Can only have one upgrade in each Body Evolutions slot, Special Abilities provided by Body Evolutions require eating enough prey to recharge
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
*Tailwhip/Whipshot: The shark spins around rapidly, slapping the target with her tail to knock them back and temporarily stun them
*Knifing: The shark swims to the surface and skims the water surface to stalk prey
*Bio-Electric Upgrades: Focuses on electric damage and stunning, while also increasing more range-based resistances and swim speed
**Lightning Burst: Bio-Electric Body Ability; The shark cloaks herself in a lightning aura which electrocutes anything nearby. Lunging transforms the shark into lightning momentarily, allowing her to jolt forward and electrocute more foes
*Bone Upgrades: Focuses on raw strength and more close-combat resistances, being most useful in boat combat
**Bone Crusher: Bone Body Ability; The shark coats herself in bone armor and increases its ramming capabilities, turning the shark's lunges into powerful battering rams against boats, before the bones are launched out as projectiles after the ability ends
*Shadow Upgrades: Focuses on damage-over-time via poisonous clouds and lunge speed, allowing for a more hit-and-run play style
**Shadow Form: Shadow Body Ability; Activating the ability doubles the shark's perception of the world. Lunging creates poisonous clouds
