The article says "Unlike its more powerful eel brethren..." but only one of the eels is more powerful. The shark is difficulty 9, while the giant eel is 7 and the electric eel is 10, according to their infoboxes. --[[User:Someone Else|Someone Else]] 15:36, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

	:It's either a shapeshifter, or more likely the result of an intelligent monster polymorphing itself. Monsters will sometimes drink potions of polymorph if they have them, which can produce monsters that are not normally randomly generated, such as sea creatures, minotaurs, woodchucks, etc. -[[User:Ion frigate\|Ion frigate]] 18:28, 21 September 2011 (UTC)		:It's either a shapeshifter, or more likely the result of an intelligent monster polymorphing itself.

		+	It's a shapeshifter, or your pet ate a shapeshifter corpse. Sokoban does not have the usual suspect, polymorph traps. Monsters using wands or potions of polymorph doesn't result in the typical polytrap output, rather you get a different monster chosen according to the same probability distribution also used when making ordinary random monsters. --[[User:Tjr\|Tjr]] 04:12, 22 September 2011 (UTC)

		+	Playing Unix v3.4.3 I encountered what appeared to be a randomly generated shark on L4a(bag of holding) of Sokoban. According to the wiki these are not randomly encountered. Is this the result of a scroll/wand/spell of create monster? Not sure how to check the code for this...

	I once polymorphed my dog into a shark, and it (flopped?) around with me for quite a while without dying (it eventually died by falling into a spiked pit). Can anyone confirm this behavior for sharks/other aquatic creatures?
