Types of Shark-kin

by Andrew Theisen

Here are the major types of Shark-Kin that I came up with, along with possible "subtypes" in each category (and I hadn't even come up with coll sounding fantasy names for most of them yet...)

“Lamniforme” – Most common, includes:

• White Shark-Kin (incl. Great White, Mako, and Megalodon- poss. Gargantuan Shark-kin species?)
• Megamouth Shark-kin
• Thresher Shark-kin
• Basking Shark-kin
• Goblin Shark-kin (magical crossbreed or Oriental/Ochalean version possibly?)
• Sand Sharks (shallow water types? Sindhi?)
• Crocodile Shark-kin?

“Whaler Shark-kin” – carcharhiniformes

Carpet shark-kin?: (I like these as sort of chameleon-like Shark-kin. Possibly some kind of Troglodyte or Chameleon man crossbreed?)

Bullhead shark-kin?

Angel Shark-kin – crossbred with Devilfish? Devilfish servitors?

Sawshark-kin?

Hexanchiformes- most primitive types. Shark-kin ancestors?
