Shark
Sharks are underwater Hostile Creatures in Sea of Thieves. Sharks attack by charging and biting. Each Shark attack lowers player health by 50%.
Sharks can only be found in the Ocean. They are attracted to Shipwrecks, Naval combat, and Megalodons which make them spawn in larger groups (2-4 Sharks). When swimming in calm waters, the shark spawn rate is greatly reduced, making it possible for a player to swim from one island to the next with no disturbances. They can be killed with any weapon, it generally takes 3 hits from any firearm and 5 sword hits. It is possible to Harpoon a shark or even stand on top of one.
Shark meat
When a shark is killed it drops a piece of Shark meat, which can be cooked and sold to The Hunter's Call or to the Sovereigns for a lesser price.
