Macho Shark

* Animated
* Puppet

Macho Shark (sometimes just Shark) is a supporting character in Puppet Squad. He is this universe's version of Shark Puppet. Macho Shark's main role on the show is being the squad's vice-leader and Munk's best friend.

## Appearance

Macho Shark appears to be a big blue and white colored shark with black eyes. He has, however, shrunken down in size after getting his Carcharodon Gland removed. Before going through therapy and exercise, he was small and gray.

## Personality

For the most part Macho Shark is a fairly friendly guy who loves to hang out with his friends even if his voice may not give that impression. For the most part he is willing to tolerate their crazy antics, but is also very willing to let them know when he's too much and they're getting to out-of-hand.

When he was younger, he had addictions to cheese and alcohol. He also had a tendency to cause a lot of trouble. He would commit pranks on others and even committed some murders in his day. When he sought to better himself, he grew to not tolerate much of what the old him used to do. He personally refuses to touch cheese and alcohol unless diluted through accompanying foods or beverages respectively, and has grown a distaste for the same kinds of pranks and crimes he used to commit.

## History

In his younger years, Macho Shark was simply known as Shark Puppet. He was a small shark who had a very strong addiction to cheese and alcohol and did wild things. His long-term friend, Munk, would eventually leave to set off for college and wish Shark a great life, inspiring the shark to better himself. Macho Shark would eventually do so, going to therapy to help stop his addictions and wild behaviors, followed by putting himself through a tough exercise regimen to help recover his body from the state he had put it in.

After quite a bit of time passed, Munk eventually got back in touch with Shark and the two agreed to hit up a McDonalds for lunch. On the walk over there, the two caught up, with Munk being very happy to see the progress of his friend. Macho Shark would later be officially inducted into the squad. He would later go on adventures with the squad such as the camping trip Munk and his friends had and accompanying Munk to Bill Bush.

Macho Shark would later help Munk in conducting the interviews for new members of the squad. At some point after, Macho Shark had to get his Carcharodon Gland removed, which resulted in him becoming smaller in stature. He explained this when he attended Munk's family reunion. While there, he also caught up with Mama Munk, as he had known her prior due to being long-term friends with Munk.

## Relationships

### **Friends**

#### Mr. Munk

Munk and Shark share a very good friendship. In the past when Shark was suffering from addictions, Munk inspired him to get help. Later on they would eventually meet up again and continue to be very good friends in spite of Munk's change in attitude due to an accident. Granted, Macho Shark does occasionally have to tell the primate that he's getting too out-of-hand, but despite those debates, they remain good friends who stand up for each other.

Macho Shark has helped Munk manage the squad since, such as helping organize their camping trip and the interviews for new members. Macho Shark also joined Munk in attending the latter's family reunion, as due to his long-time friendship with the primate, he knew some of the people there, such as Michael and Mama Munk.

#### Munk Alliance

Macho Shark is very good friends with everyone on the Munk Alliance. The gang frequently participate in bonding exercises, such as the camping trip, and all share common interests. He is fond of Yeti & Secret in particular for helping Munk during a tough time.

#### Grape Man Alliance

Macho Shark isn't often seen interacting with anyone from Grape Man's alliance, but he is friends with them and it does happen. He was perfect willing to have Grape Man hang out with him and Munk when they went to Bill Bush, and the two are shown interacting with no bitterness to be found.

### **Enemies**

#### Cory Alliance

Macho Shark has a strong distaste for Cory and his friends after hearing how Cory threw Munk out of the house. Even when Munk is nowhere around, Macho Shark wants nothing to do with them and lets them know that.

#### Evil Shark

Back in his younger years, Shark would frequently get brutally pranked by Evil Shark. For some reason there was nothing more to Evil Shark's life than ruining Shark's day just for enjoyment. While Shark probably could've enacted revenge, he put those feelings aside and simply moved away in his journey to better himself.

## Trivia

* Macho Shark getting his Carcharodon Gland removed and becoming smaller because of it is a plot element introduced due to the fact the character's puppet was damaged and had to be replaced by a similar looking albeit much smaller puppet.
	+ The name of the Carcharodon Gland is based on the Carcharodon genus of sharks, which includes the great white shark, thus the joke being that getting it removed makes you smaller.
* Macho Shark's voice occasionally wavers due to the voice actor forgetting how to do it from time to time.
