Shark
The Shark is a hostile animal found in Sons of the Forest.
Appearance[edit | edit source]
They bear resemblance to great white sharks but with slightly longer secondary dorsal fin and exaggerated pelvic and pectoral fins. Coupling these features with their many scars gives them a more savage appearance.
Behavior and Tactics[edit | edit source]
Sharks can occasionally be seen breeching the water to attack seagulls. Once they see the player they will swim straight for the attack.
They can range in size (similar to deer) but all sharks deal the same amount of damage regardless. Pistols and arrows can easily dispatch sharks who swim close to the surface of the water. Their death animation has them flipping over on their backs and sinking a short ways further in the water.
Sharks can be found guarding the Survival raft. They can be very dangerous to bypass, especially when trying to retrieve the pistol, and returning to land from there as well.
Location[edit | edit source]
Sharks can spawn anywhere where sea water can be. This includes the rebreather cave. They will most likely be encountered when the player travels to the survival raft, and seen breeching the water near the helicopter pads.
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- The achievement "NEED A BIGGER BOAT" can be earned by swimming out into the ocean and dying to a shark. This is a reference to the 1975 film Jaws.
