W for Wereshark

I love sharks, and am justifiably terrified of them.  So what's not to love about the wereshark?  Here is a version statted for Labyrinth Lord:

The dreaded wereshark is the result of a form of lycanthropy that allows the creature to assume great white shark form at will, so long as it is in darkness. Thus the wereshark has a great white shark form (see LL p. 95) and a human form. The first AC number listed above is for its shark form, the AC in parentheses for its human form.  As a lycanthrope, the wereshark can be affected by magic or silver weapons only (see Lycanthrope, LL p. 85).
