Attack and damage rolls for the natural weapons are based on Strength. The character gains a Strength of 18 if their score isn’t already higher, and a +1 bonus to AC while in shark or hybrid form (from natural armor). If the prey survives, though, the scent of blood transforms the wereshark into a killing machine. The moment they spot their prey, weresharks trust in their abilities to strike quickly and annihilate their target with a single blow.

They prefer to use stealth when hunting, waiting for the right time to jump out from their hiding positions. Weresharks are always on the move and looking for food to hunt. Weresharks lose their sense of reason at times and can wreak carnage on entire communities before finally being overcome by sheer numbers. Their search for solitude is not only for peace but a survival mechanism. Weresharks are solitary hunters by nature, generally giving settlements above and below the waves a wide berth. Hit: 7 (1d6 + 4) piercing damage, or 8 (1d8 + 4) piercing damage if used with two hands to make a melee attack. Melee or Ranged Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft. If the target is a humanoid, it must succeed on a DC 14 Constitution saving throw or be cursed with wereshark lycanthropy. Until this grapple ends, the wereshark can bite only the grappled creature and has advantage on attack rolls to do so. Hit: 15 (2d10 + 4) piercing damage, and the target is grappled (escape DC 15). Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. In hybrid form, it can attack like a shark or a humanoid. In humanoid form, it makes three scimitar attacks. In shark form, the wereshark makes two bite attacks. If the wereshark surprises a creature and hits it with an attack during the first round of combat, the target takes an extra 14 (4d6) damage from the attack. The wereshark has advantage on melee attack rolls against any creature that doesn’t have all its hit points. While in shark form, the wereshark can only breathe while underwater. The wereshark can breathe air and water while in human or hybrid form. Any equipment it is wearing or carrying isn’t transformed. Its statistics, other than its size and AC, are the same in each form. The wereshark can use its action to polymorph into a Large shark-humanoid hybrid or into a Large shark, or back into its true form, which is humanoid.
