Maneater is a game where you play the man eating shark instead of the other way around. Fight, kill, eat and evolve to become the apex predator you were born to be.
!! Examples in Maneater:
* ATasteOfPower: The prologue is played as the mother, a full grown bull shark.
* AnArmAndALeg: Pete loses an arm in his first encounter with you. In the next he loses a leg.
* DavidVersusGoliath: You might be a Shark but that doesn't make you the biggest thing out there. The bosses include an Orca and a Sperm Whale that vastly out size even the biggest shark. Zig zagged with the humans. Your easily there bigger, so the real boss is their massive boats that can look like tanks on water for the late bosses.
* EvolutionaryLevels: You can evolve into even more ferocious forms after a while. Each with ever deadlier abilities.
* TheWorfEffect: After killing a few shark hunters the mother's rampage is easily stopped by Scaly Pete. Showing you will have to be more than a regular shark to beat him.
* YouKilledMyFather: Mother in this case. Pete killed your mother before you were born. Turned around later, the first battle with Pete gets his son killed.
