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. --Someone Else 15:36, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Depends on how you see things. By numbers, yes, the giant eel is left powerful. By ability to give you an embarrasing YASD, the eels are far more powerful. Lotte 18:57, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Surviving on land

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?

Jumping the Shark

Has anyone tried jumping over a shark while wearing a leather jacket?

Randomly Generated Sharks

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...

Thanks!
