Line 44:
* ''[[Katekyo Hitman Reborn]]'': Apparently inspired by the pirates of ''[[How to Kill a Mockingbird]]'', Squalo rides a flying burning shark as his box weapon. Seriously.
* BrokenGao in ''[[GaoGaiGar]] FINAL'' forms the right shoulder of Genesic GaoGaiGar and represents destruction in all its glory.
* Averted in ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise]]'' with Sky-Byte. While one of the Predacons, Sky-Byte is an aspiring poet and quite fond of humans -- between these and various comedic appearances, he's something of an [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]. {{spoiler|He's also the only one of the Predacons or Decepticons to escape at the end of the series, so everything pretty much works out for him.}}
* ''[[Hayate the Combat Butler]]'': While Sakuya's ''[[Tempting Fate|Titanic]]'' was sinking, an already-wounded Hayate swam in the frigid water to push a raft holding Isumi to safety. Then the sharks attacked him.... But [[Berserk Button|all bets]] [[Grievous Harm with a Body|were off]] when he saw one of them attack ''Nagi''.
* In ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'' third part, an early Stand goes ''past'' this trope with its first act: ''cutting a shark in half.'' '''''LENGTHWISE'''''. In part 5, the situation is played more straight with Clash, a Stand that takes the form of a metallic shark with three eyes. Its power? Teleport from one body of water (or other mostly-water liquid...[[Paranoia Fuel|like a bowl of soup or glass of wine]]), capture its targets, ''and drag them along on the teleporting trips'' (where, if Squalo isn't stopped quickly enough, ''they'll drown'').
Line 237:
** Don't forget about Axew, Fraxure and Haxorus and Garchomp's relatives Gible and Gabite, all of which are actually a cross between [[Our Dragons Are Different|Dragons]] and [[Land Shark]](s).
* ''[[Disgaea]]''
** ''[[Disgaea: Hour of Darkness]]'' also has a land shark dragon in the form of the Serpent monster class (Or shark dragon, as it was more appropriately called in Japanese), though it's considerably more shark-like in appearance (But still remarkably similar). Like, it's one of the stronger monster types, boasting a high attack stat and good values in everything else, and it flies for some of its special attacks.<br />It later makes an appearance as an enemy in the second ''[[Prinny: Can I Really Be the Hero?|Prinny]]'' game (Where it's now properly called a shark dragon), and has a couple of cameo appearances in ''[[Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten]]'', though it's possible that [[Downloadable Content|it might become more then that in the future]].
** ''[[Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories]]'' has Sammy (he's called Same in Japanese, which literally means shark), the land shark/''news reporter''. He's one of Plenair's friends, and appears in her third attack in ''Dark Hero Days''.
* ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'' has two.
** The first, Clanker, is a subversion; he's an ally of the titular characters, and being "swallowed" by him (or entering his stomach via his gills, or dropping down his blowhole) don't harm you in any way, and indeed are required to get [[
** The second example is played straight. Snacker lives in Treasure Trove Cove, and will spawn anytime you fall into the water and will bite at you until you return to shore...or die. He also has a message every time he spawns about how much he'll love eating you. He can be killed with ordinary attacks, but that will only save you for that time in the ocean. Go in the ocean again, and he'll be back like nothing ever happened. Snacker also shows up in Rusty Bucket Bay. In oily water that makes Banjo suffocate on the surface.
* In the ''[[Tales (series)]]'', the Sahagin monsters and their kin in the 3D games are anchor or harpoon wielding [[Shark Man|shark men]].
Line 321:
* ''[[Hark! A Vagrant]]'': [[Beaton (Creator)|Sharks don't love you back]]. You are [http://harkavagrant.com/index.php?id=113 food].
* ''[[The Adventures of Dr. McNinja]]'' gives us [http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/11p13 sharks with wings.]
* ''[[Nedroid]]'' [[Subverted Trope|subverts]] this. There is a shark-like guy with a name that starts with H-something who wears a futuristic space suit. [[Out of Focus|Or was it a 19th century style tweed suit?]] [[In
* ''[[The Perpetual Aquarium]]'' [[Subverted Trope|subverts]] this. Ari, the main character, is a Jetsam, the Neopets equivalent of a shark, who not only refuses to eat fish, but rescues and cares for them.
* In ''[[Miscellaneous Error]]'', Jack fills his backyard pool with sharks so he can [[Catapult to Glory|catapult the shark]].
Line 348:
{{quote|"Darn this evolution thing!"}}
** Cross the shark with the [[Angry Guard Dog]] and you get Sharky the sharkdog.
* Much like ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise]]'', ''[[Beast Wars]]'' provides an aversion with Cybershark. A Maximal, his bio describes him as a swashbuckling hero who chases after space pirates. He never appeared in the series however, and only appears in the IDW comics. Played straight elsewhere, however, particularly with the Seacon Overbite. He did appear, in a fashion, as the Predacon Sky-byte in ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise]]''.
* ''[[Aladdin (Disney film)|Aladdin]]'' TV series
** Two episodes deal with a gigantic, shark-like beast that swims through [[Sand Is Water|sand like water]] and has a fortune of treasures pressed into its underside. In the first episode it attacks Agrabah and Aladdin and friends joins with a hunter who had been after the shark for years, and they succeeded in driving it off. In the second episode the shark is slain by a race of Ewok-like desert hunters working for an evil wizard, but Aladdin and the hunter uses its skeleton to repair the hunter's ship and fight the wizard.
Line 372:
* ''[[Total Drama Island]]'' featured fresh water sharks.
* Turns up as [[Nightmare Fuel]] in ''[[My Little Pony]] Tales'' of all places. Schoolgirls Patch and Bon-Bon, through a major lapse in judgement by the former, find themselves floating over the ocean in a hot-air balloon, which is then damaged by birds. Just when they think they've hit their bleakest moment (and this isn't even the first time Bon-Bon's been in a life threatening situation), they look down and see [[Oh Crap|shark fins in the water]].
* Subverted in an episode of ''[[American Dragon: Jake Long]]'' where Jake is tasked with guarding a shark-woman who holds in possession (in her stomach) Posedion's trident. Despite her compulsive eating, the shark-woman means well and claims that all shark-people are misunderstood and friendly. The only evil shark-men Jake fights are a group of escaped delinquents who want to flood the world with Poseidon's trident.
* A shark can be seen chasing Scrooge McDuck's submarine in the ''[[DuckTales]]'' opening theme.
* Averted with Shark from ''[[Word World]]''.
