Creatures larger than herself are torn into bite-sized chunks of meat. As a Mega, she is able to swallow most other creatures whole - even creatures as large as great white sharks and orcas - leaving naught but a cloud of blood behind. After grabbing a creature of equal or smaller size and reducing its health enough, the Maneater will begin to swallow them tail-first. Big Eater: The shark is notably voracious and has several biomes' worth of creatures to whet her insatiable appetite.By the time they met again, she's much more of a threat and their third and final meeting definitely puts her in an even greater position to get revenge once and for all. Best Served Cold: Ripped from its mother prematurely by Pete and was only able to bite his hand off in retaliation for scarring her.The Bad Guy Wins: She eventually manages to get revenge on Pete at the end of the base game.Asskicking Equals Authority: After defeating the Apex Sperm Whale she becomes the new Apex Predator in Port Clovis and unlocks a passive benefit that, if equipped, will prevent smaller predators from attacking her.

Ax-Crazy: The Shark relentlessly kills numerous humans, fish, whales, and reptiles - all in an effort to avenge her dead mother.The Shark has a tendency to roar when hurt or attacking as a Shout-Out to Jaws, but real-life sharks lack vocal cords.Bull sharks can't breach the surface but Great Whites are known to do so when hunting.In the Truth Quest DLC, she grows to be 10 meters (around 32.8 feet) in length. As an Adult the Maneater is a respectable 3.5 meters long, but as an Elder she grows to 6.5 meters - rivaling the largest of great white sharks in size - and as a Mega she grows to a massive 9 meters (almost 30 feet). Bull sharks also seldom grow over 13 feet (almost 4 meters).The shark is supposed to be a bull shark, but the in-game model shares more traits with Great Whites.Flavor text on the loading screen exposits that some species of sharks have spiracles, which let them breathe while sitting still, but bull sharks do not possess them. Sharks do not possess sonar or the ability to sit still, as they need to keep moving to survive.

Artistic License Biology: The playable shark exhibits many abilities and behaviors that are unseen in bull sharks and even sharks in general - many of which are acknowledged by the narrator.Animal Motifs: Despite being an animal herself, the narrator also draws parallels between the bull shark and wolves, occasionally referring to her as "the sea wolf.".Trip's narration talks about the Maneater as though she's intelligent and sentient, while according to Pete the shark is Ax-Crazy and a Sea Monster who kills people. Ambiguous Situation: The shark's intelligence is also debatable.The shark is still attacking humans though, so she still has to be fought and killed. Eating other animals is also natural, even if it was enhanced by mutation.
