A shark can refer to several creatures in Wurm.
  
''These huge sharks were apparently not just a rumour. How horrendous!''

* [[Shark (creature)]] - a large, aggressive fish you can see (and fight!) swimming in the oceans.  
 
+
* [[White shark]] and [[blue shark]] - fish you can only see and catch while fishing in the oceans. You cannot fight this fish with weapons.
There are three types of [[shark]]s that you can refer to in Wurm. One that exists only as lore or game mechanics, one you can [[fishing|catch]] as [[fish]], and the hostile creature generally referred to as [[monster]].

== Server border sharks (mechanics) ==
 
One of Wurm's game features is travelling to other [[server]]s, that can be connected at their [[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 connected, 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 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 be turned off, so you won't [[drown]]. Boats can then no longer be sped up towards the server border, and need to be turned around. You can embark your vessel as a passenger to regain stamina.
 
 
 
=== The currents work against you and you get nowhere ===
 
If you're too close to the border, this will be the final warning message that immediately disembarks you. Boats have to be turned around using the right-click options ''Move > Turn item clockwise'' or ''Move > Turn item counterclockwise'', or being [[drag]]ged. If you can't drag, you might need to pull or push using ''Move > Push'' and ''Move >> Pull'' respectively, to get away from the border.
 
 
 
== Fishing ==

[[Image:Blue shark.png|right|thumb|170px|A fished blue shark]]
 
Blue and white sharks are [[Fishing#Types_of_fish|special types of fish]] that can be caught while [[fishing]], using a [[fishing rod]] or [[fine fishing rod]].
 
 
 
== Monster ==
 
The most real and dangerous sharks exist as actual creature. It can spawn in deep waters and is passive to players embarked on a boat, although having a [[Basic_Knowledge#Creatures|red outline when hovered over]] with your mouse cursor. The shark will only attack players who are swimming. But once attacking, it will keep attacking even if you embark a boat. They will deal a fair amount of damage, and they have a very high armour value, similar to [[bison]].

* Once attacking, it will keep attacking even if you embark a boat.
 
* Happens to spawn more on some servers than others.
