''These huge sharks were apparently not just a rumour. How horrendous!''
There are three types of [[shark]]s that you can refer to in Wurmlore and vocabulary. One that of these exists only as lore or a reference to game mechanics, one you can [[fishing|catch]] as a type of marine [[fish]], and the one is a hostile creature generally referred to as [[monster]].

== Server border sharks (mechanics) ==
One of Wurm's game features is travelling that of traveling to other [[server]]s, that which can be connected at their mutual [[map]] borders : north, east, south, and/or west. Through word of mouth, they have gained reputation in lore but they are not real sharks. If you're getting close to a border that is not connectedduring such attempted travel, you will get orange event messages to warn you:
You see dark shadows moving beneath the waves.
An enourmous shark scouts you from below.
Suddenly, strong winds and waves throw you overboard!
Eventually Soon after seeing these messages, you will automatically and repeatedly be disembarked from your [[ship]] or [[boat]]. If you're AFK and sailing with [[Key_bindings#Default_keybindings|Autorun]] enabled, it will you may be turned off, so you won't saved from an otherwise certain [[drown|drowning]]death. Boats can then no longer be sped up towards the server borderAt this point, you must turn around and need to be turned around. You can embark your vessel as a passenger to regain staminatry another route.
