History Main / SharkMan

** The Shark from ''ComicBook/GreenLantern''. A man-eating tiger shark who prowled off the shore of Coast City, the Shark was mutated into a humanoid form and granted psychic powers after being exposed to alien radiation. The Shark originally [[EmotionEater ate fear, not flesh]], though he was changed to an actual maneater later during UsefulNotes/TheDarkAgeOfComicBooks.

* ''WebVideo/{{Vinesauce}}'': During a stream of terrible UsefulNotes/Xbox360 indie games, Joel thinks ''Dead Sea 2'' will have a shark on two legs. [[https://youtu.be/Uw7FaBM2ayo?t=7m45s Ask, and you shall receive.]]

* In the ''Literature/{{Tempest}}'' trilogy, [[BigBad Tiamat]]'s goons include a group of mermen with shark tails, human torsos, and facial features somewhere between human and shark.

* In the ''Doctor Who'' ''PROSE'' novel series, the Selachians are a somewhat prominent original creation. They've appeared in the audio story "[[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWho132TheArchitectsOfHistory Architects of History]]". They're shark-like beings converted into power armor by a race of aquatic aliens, until they rose up against their masters. They're considered to be warmongers that try to conquer everything they can, and have no genuine arms and legs.

* The pirate shark Jonathan "Johnny" Jones and his crew, which consists entirely of much smaller shark men called Bandana Blues and Bandana Reds, from ''VideoGame/SuperMarioRPG''.

* ''WebOriginal/CodexInversus'': The Sharkmen are a tribe of Beast Folk that lives beneath the southern seas. They don't consider other species to be people; to them, anything that isn't a sharkman is just a smart animal, and can therefore be food.

* One group of villains that appears in three different ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'' animated series is the Terrible Trio, three thieves who wear head-covering masks representing three different animals, including a vulture, a fox, and a shark. Their backstories differ in each series. In ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'', they're ordinary rich masked men who commit crimes for fun, while in the ''WesternAnimation/TheBatman'', they're a group of university students who mutate themselves into therianthropic [[HalfHumanHybrid humanoid animals]] (including a hammer-headed shark man). The same formula is used in ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold'' when Batman and his friend/rival Bronze Tiger battl a group of animal-masked martial artists, who not only are billionaires but try to use a magical artifact to turn themselves into monstrous versions of the animals they represent, one of them transforming into a muscular but more generic shark man.

* One recurring group of villains that Batman faced were the Terrible Trio, three thieves who wore head-covering masks representing three different animals, including a vulture, a fox, and a shark. Their backstories differed in each Batman series. In ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' they were ordinary rich masked men who committed crimes for fun, while in the ''WesternAnimation/TheBatman'' they were a group of university students who mutated themselves into therianthropic [[HalfHumanHybrid humanoid animals]] (including a hammer-headed shark man). The same formula was used in ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold'' where the eponymous superhero and his friend and rival Bronze Tiger battled a group of animal-masked martial artists, who not only were billionaires but tried to use a magical artifact to turn themselves into monstrous versions of the animals they represent, one of them transforming into a muscular but more generic shark man.
* The Rulons in ''WesternAnimation/DinoRiders'' has many [=Sharkmen=] in their army. To be precise, they all look like Hammerhead Sharkmen.

* The Carcarons from the Season 7 ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' episode "Zapp Dingbat" (the one where Zapp Branningan dates Leela's mom). They speak in serials of guttural growls, but are fairly decent (if easily offended) people.
* ''WesternAnimation/HarleyQuinn'': King Shark shows up as a main character. Unlike his other incarnations (and most depictions of shark men in general), he's very intelligent, social, and friendly. Before signing on with Harley, he worked as a web design expert and is also shown to have extremely good engineering skills. And [[ToServeMan sometimes he eats people]].

** In "Mrs. Puff, You're Fired," [=SpongeBob's=] replacement driving instructor is a DrillSergeantNasty Australian shark.
