Other Abilities / Powers / Notes:

Giant Sharks are Piscine Monsters, which count as Sharks but not as Animals.
Salt Water Breathing.
Blood Frenzy: if taste bloood in the water, as per ZAKEL Battle Frenzy Spell Effect until consumed all prey. Stunned, Incapacitated and Crippled Effects of Damage have no effect and will fight on with Severed effects. Blood Frenzy subsides when it has fed, but above effects are not retrospectively applied.
Giant Sharks are Predatory hunters of the seas, which will atttack anything - including ships.
Like Sharks, the Sahuagin feed them and use them as mounts, but risk being eaten by the Giant Sharks.
