Dire Shark (3.5e Monster)

You may be looking for the Dire Shark from the SRD instead.

Dire Shark
Dire sharks attack anything they perceive to be edible, even larger creatures (not that many creatures are larger). Dire sharks are masters of the ocean and can detect even the slightest hint of blood from miles away. Their senses are so keen that they can use vibrations they feel in the water to "see" everything around them.

This monstrous fish can grow to a length of 25 feet and weigh more than 20,000 pounds.

Strategies and Tactics
Dire sharks bite with their powerful jaws, swallowing smaller creatures in one gulp.

Treasure
Dire shark fins are a key ingredient for "Dire Shark Fin Soup". By consuming an bowl of the soup, a character permanently gains the Scent special quality while underwater. Blood is always considered an exceptionally strong scent underwater for the character.

A character also gains a +10 bonus to Perform: Eroticism checks for 1 hour because shark fin soup is apparently good for that. Hopefully your campaign will never make use of this rule and it just gives you a chuckle. Otherwise, you are a pervert.

Dire shark fin soup provides enough soup for 6 people.

Dire shark fins are valued at 4,000 gp on the open market.
