The Atomic set takes this up a notch by making her literally harness atomic energy for her most extreme mutation yet, glowing green all over, having dorsal fins that look like they originally belonged to Godzilla and even gain the power to spew out an atomic Death Ray to utterly annihilate prey. Atomic Superpower: As a flimsy reasoning for her absurd mutations, the shark may have been affected by all the nuclear waste being dumped into the waters, which effectively granted her superpowers and bizarre abilities.Asskicking Leads to Leadership: After defeating the Apex Sperm Whale she becomes the new Apex Predator in Port Clovis and unlocks a passive benefit that, if equipped, will prevent smaller predators from attacking her.The Shark has a tendency to roar when hurt or attacking as a Shout-Out to Jaws, but real-life sharks lack vocal cords.Bull sharks can't breach the surface but Great Whites are known to do so when hunting.In the Truth Quest DLC, she grows to be 10 meters (around 32.8 feet) in length. As an Adult the Maneater is a respectable 3.5 meters long, but as an Elder she grows to 6.5 meters - rivaling the largest of great white sharks in size - and as a Mega she grows to a massive 9 meters (almost 30 feet). Bull sharks also seldom grow over 13 feet (almost 4 meters).The shark is supposed to be a bull shark, but the in-game model shares more traits with Great Whites.Flavor text on the loading screen exposits that some species of sharks have spiracles, which let them breathe while sitting still, but bull sharks do not possess them. Sharks do not possess sonar or the ability to sit still, as they need to keep moving to survive.Artistic License – Biology: The playable shark exhibits many abilities and behaviors that are unseen in bull sharks and even sharks in general - many of which are acknowledged by the narrator.Animal Motifs: Despite being an animal herself, the narrator also draws parallels between the bull shark and wolves, occasionally referring to her as "the sea wolf.".Trip's narration talks about the Maneater as though she's intelligent and sentient, while according to Pete the shark is Ax-Crazy and a Sea Monster who kills people. ![]()
