A shark can refer to several creatures in Wurm.
  
''These huge sharks were apparently not just a rumour. How horrendous!''

* [[Shark (creature)]] - a large, aggressive fish you can see (and fight!) swimming in the oceans.  
 
+
* [[White shark]] and [[blue shark]] - fish you can only see and catch while fishing in the oceans. You cannot fight this fish with weapons.
There are three types of [[shark]]s in Wurm lore and vocabulary. One of these exists only as a reference to game mechanics, one you can [[fishing|catch]] as a type of marine [[fish]], and one is a hostile creature generally referred to as [[monster]].

== Server border sharks (mechanics) ==
 
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!
 
 
 
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.
 
 
 
=== The currents work against you and you get nowhere ===
 
If you're too close to the border, this will be the final warning message that immediately disembarks you. Boats have to be turned around using the right-click options ''Move > Turn item clockwise'' or ''Move > Turn item counterclockwise'', or being [[drag]]ged. If you can't drag, you might need to pull or push using ''Move > Push'' and ''Move >> Pull'' respectively, to get away from the border.
 
 
 
== Fishing ==

Blue and white sharks are [[Fishing#Types_of_fish|special types of fish]] that can be caught while [[fishing]] and using a [[fishing rod]] or [[fine fishing rod]].
 
 
 
== Aggressive Creature ==
 
* 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 the mouse cursor.  
 
 
 
* This shark will only attack players who are swimming, but once it begins attacking, it will continue attacking - even if the player embarks 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).
 
 
 
* Shark spawn rates are not equal on all servers.
