Mega Shark

The **Mega Shark** is a Megalodon that presides in the ocean.

## Appearance

Its back and the top of its face are grayish blue, while its belly and fins are white. Each reflects the dark colors of the ocean floor and the light of the surface, providing excellent camouflage. The Mega Shark also has large jaws lined with sharpened triangular teeth, presumably covered with serrated teeth for tearing and cutting flesh.

## Personality

Unlike many of the larger enemies Spear and Fang have faced, the Mega Shark exhibits typical predatory behavior, only wanting to go after the duo (and a pterosaur) to eat them even though they wouldn't have been enough to satisfy its hunger. Its persistence is limited, as when Spear gouged out him his right eye, it gave up attacking them.

## Abilities

* **Swimming:** The Mega Shark is much better adapted to life in the ocean than Spear and Fang. It is even able to swim at high speed to catch its prey due to his streamlined body and his powerful fins.
* **Strength:** Given its huge size, the Mega Shark is a powerful and resistant predator since it does not seem to be stunned or hurt by the large waves, which nevertheless give a hard time for Spear and Fang. Besides, the duo could not attack him directly at the risk of taking a violent blow from his caudal fin or being eaten. Even Spear's throwing wood from the raft in the eye wouldn't have been fatal, it just hurt him.

## History

During a tremendous thunderstorm out in the ocean, a gigantic shark swam up to Spear and Fang's raft while they were being harassed by a flock of a pterosaurs. The shark swam into one of the giant waves and caught one of the flying reptiles in its jaws. It then crashed back into the ocean, but its presence caused Spear and Fang's raft to be smashed into pieces. With the two now submerged, the shark attempted to eat either of the two, first going after Fang, but she managed to elude it for a while. Instead, the shark swallowed Spear.

Fortunately for the caveman, one of the raft's splintered remains got logged in the shark's maw, which Spear used to injure the creature's lower jaw. As it spat him out, the shark tried once again to catch Spear. It swam up to the surface, prepared to reconsume him again in mid-air. But, Spear was once again armed with a splintered sharp piece of wood, which he flung into one of the shark's eyes, blinding it. Now in pain, the shark swims away. As it did, its massive tail-fin smacked Spear further into the waves, which only furthered his and Fang's separation in the ocean's undertow. The shark's fate was left unknown at that point on, though its assumed that it's still alive but with only one valid eye. (*Sea of Despair*)

## Trivia

* The Mega Shark is one of a handful of enemies (The Mammoth Matriarch, the Head Witch and the Fire Giant) to escape from being slain by the main protagonists. However, unlike these other foes, the Mega Shark likely did not have any personal resentment or ulterior motive towards either heroes, likely due to the fact that fish are not intelligent enough to hold such emotions and thoughts, merely acting on impulse and necessity. As such, much like the Mammoth Matriarch, the Mega Shark was likely not malicious in its intent.
