-The most real and dangerous type of "shark" in Wurm exists as an actual creature/monster. It spawns in deep waters and is passive to players embarked on a boat, although having a [[Basic_Knowledge#Creatures|red outline when hovered over]] with your mouse cursor. This shark will only attack players who are swimming. Once it begins attacking however, it will keep attacking - even if you embark on a boat. Sharks can deal a fair amount of damage, and they have a very high armour value, similar to [[bison]]. Sharks will not attack animals being led behind boats unless the animal is tamed or the shark is starving (the same general mechanics as a land creature that is aggressive).

-One of Wurm's game features is travelling to other [[server]]s, that can be connected at their [[map]] borders north, east, south, and/or west. Through word of mouth, they have gained reputation in lore but they are not real sharks. If you're getting close to a border that is not connected, you will get orange event messages to warn you:
+One of Wurm's game features is that of traveling to other [[server]]s which can be connected at mutual [[map]] borders: north, east, south, or west. If you're getting close to a border that is not connected during such attempted travel, you will get orange event messages to warn you:
    You see dark shadows moving beneath the waves.
    An enourmous shark scouts you from below.
    Suddenly, strong winds and waves throw you overboard!
-Eventually you will automatically and repeatedly be disembarked from your [[ship]] or [[boat]]. If you're AFK and sailing with [[Key_bindings#Default_keybindings|Autorun]] enabled, it will be turned off, so you won't [[drown]]. Boats can then no longer be sped up towards the server border, and need to be turned around. You can embark your vessel as a passenger to regain stamina.
+Soon after seeing these messages, you will automatically and repeatedly be disembarked from your [[ship]] or [[boat]]. If you're AFK and sailing with [[Key_bindings#Default_keybindings|Autorun]] enabled, you may be saved from an otherwise certain [[drown|drowning]] death. At this point, you must turn around and try another route.
