(What's with the speculation and "mythical" status of these animals? That's rubbish, they appear in these games without the use of any mods at all.) |

'''Sharks''' are marine animals that can be found in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], though in these games they are completely non-interactive. This changed drastically in [[Grand Theft Auto V]], where they can interact with and even kill the player. | '''Sharks''' are marine animals that can be found in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], though in these games they are completely non-interactive.

Sharks reappear in [[Grand Theft Auto V]] but, unlike GTA Vice City and GTA San Andreas, they will attack and kill the player. They spawn at random in the depths of the [[Pacific Ocean]] surrounding [[San Andreas in GTA V|San Andreas]] but are more common at night. Sharks usually appear on their own but groups of two or three have been seen. They attack once and will kill the [[protagonist]] by ripping them apart. If the player goes to the edge of the map a shark will appear to force the player to go back towards land. Sharks can attack on sight or circle the player gradually getting closer before attacking. While above water, the sharks fin may be seen as it circles the boat/watercraft. A red dot will appear on the [[radar]] when sharks are nearby. The achievement/trophy "[[Out of Your Depth]]" is unlocked after being killed by a shark. | |||
[[Abigail Mathers]], the widow of ocean explorer [[Frank Mathers]], [[Death at Sea|names]] them as "San Andreas White Sharks", a fictional subspecies of the [[wp:Great white shark|great white shark]]. They are, however, based on [[:wp:Tiger shark|Tiger sharks]]. They are endangered, hence why they seldom appear in-game. Sharks can be killed with one bullet from above land and by repeated [[knife]] attacks underwater as well as driving a boat or the [[Submersible]] into them. The player can also lose the shark by driving their boat/watercraft away from the area or by continuing to dive into the depths of the ocean to find sunken ships or planes to hide in. Note, unless wearing a scuba diving outfit the players health will be depleted due to a lack of oxygen. | |||
