Description

In either humanoid or hybrid form, weresharks have burly builds, with little to no hair covering their bodies, and a  mouth full of large, sharp, teeth. Their cruel and bloodthirsty nature compounds with their short tempers, and they often jump into brawls just to satisfy their vicious tendencies.

Weresharks often around coastal ports, or directly in the ocean. They can be found leading pirate gangs to put to use their viciousness, or find a place among the eviler aquatic races, such as the merrow and the sahuagin. The sahuagin are particularly welcoming to a wereshark, as they view the lycanthropic curse the wereshark possesses to be a gift from the shark god Sekolah.

 

Players Characters as Weresharks: If a player character is afflicted with wereshark lycanthropy the character retains his/her statistics except, they gain a Strength of 20 if his/her score isn't already higher. The character also gains the wereshark's speed in nonhumanoid form, damage immunities, traits, and actions that don't involve equipment. The character is proficient with the wereshark's bite  attacks, which deal damage as shown. Attack and damage rolls for natural weapons are based on Strength. If the character embraces the curse their alignment changes to Chaotic Evil.
