Land Shark!

image by, Klaus Pichler

Also called ground sharks, chompers or bruces, it is not known if these fearsome, relentless predators are comet-induced mutations, or the genetically engineered product of a truly twisted mind.

Though now fully air-breathing, they still tend to be found near water sources and often have lairs located in the shallows or partially flooded caves. The only nice good you can say about them is that they tend to be solitary. They are sometimes used as guard-animals by the more bloodthirsty kind of Warlord, Robber Baron or Mad Scientist.
