Goblin Shark

Goblin sharks are deep-sea hunters, dwelling near the ocean floor. They make up for their slow swimming speed with stealthy ambushes, allowing prey to get within reach before lashing out with their extending jaws.

Shark

Source Monster Core pg. 307
Sharks of all shapes and sizes have stalked the oceans, largely unchanged, since primordial times. They are efficient, ruthless predators with multiple rows of razor-sharp teeth capable of rending prey in an instant. Their uncanny ability to smell blood in the water means sharks might show up at any scene of aquatic carnage.
