Anybody got stats for a Shark? Of any variety? 

[Wolverine]

Sharks are sometimes called the wolves of the sea, so how about starting there.

Take a Wolf, swap the movement for swimming, bump up the Bite attack by I, increase the size to Medium, and tweak any other inappropriate qualities, etc. How does that sound?

(Don't have my book on me, so can't check for myself.)

Thoughts on something like this (It's a Wolf-Vargr base, with heavy modification)?

Looks good to me. All you need now is a nefarious mage to give it the abilities to fly and breathe air and you've got one scary mother-.

[Agent 333]

Looks good to me. All you need now is a nefarious mage scientist to give it the abilities to fly and breathe air frikken laser beams and you've got one scary mother-.

Fixed it for you  .

Being a scientist isn't that much fun; you'd never get that past the ethics committee.

i think he should have changed nefarious to mad. that would have helped.

I wrote my dissertation on sharks.

Consider giving it subdual resistance 4. Their skin is hellishly tough, and they have an incredible pain threshold. You may also wish to consider the fact that most sharks have fairly shitty eyesight. Also Survival IV. They can survive practically anywhere, and track a target for miles.

Again the ethics commitee. No way you could get permission to create an animal with two mouths and no anus, expecially here, Australians like sharks and are very protective of them.
