Many weresharks lived a solitary life, as a pair, or a school of up to five. Weresharks were not bound to a specific society, but would pack together if it suited them. Weresharks were only affected by silver or enchanted weaponry, however, swallowed opponents could attack from within with standard edged weapons.

They may even have devoured their foes fully intact. When combat got out of control, weresharks often shapechanged into the shark form, swimming away at high speeds, or savagely biting at their opponents' legs. When fighting in water, they preferred to attack from below. All forms were adept at grappling opponents, particularly the shark and hybrid forms. However, in shark form, they preferred to bite their foes, tearing them apart with their deadly jaws. Even in just their human form, they could rip an arm off opponents. In human and hybrid form, weresharks preferred to fight in close-quarters combat, either with a weapon, their hands, or sharp claws. Even in their human form could they breathe underwater for up to an hour. They also became far stronger in these forms, and masters at swimming. In shark and hybrid form, the lycanthropes' senses dramatically heightened, resulting in keen scent, being able to smell up to 180 ft (54.9 m) away. However, there were distinct differences between the three forms. Likewise, they were very alert, could fight in conditions where their enemy was hard to perceive, and were very robust. Each form had access to blindsense up to 30 ft (9.1 m) and the ability to communicate with shark-like beings, such as dire sharks.

Abilities Īlthough looking very different, the individual forms shared similar traits and abilities. These lycanthropes were very territorial, and would often claim treasure-filled sunken ships, willing to defend them to the deaths. They would often destroy large caches of fish, as well as attacking fishermen, and were a bane to any aquatic lifeforms, from tritons to mermen. As diverse as any other human, weresharks could have anywhere between low and exceptional intelligence. They were said to be cruel and arrogant in their human form and even nastier in shark form. Weresharks could pass on their lycanthropic curse by biting their foes in either their shark or hybrid form. Their shark form resembled a great white shark.

In human form, weresharks were often hulking and brutish, and seemed to be maimed in some sort of way, such as severe scarring, although this was not visible after shapechanging. However, they could only take such forms in darkness. Weresharks could take three different forms: humanoid form, shark form, and hybrid form.
