Great white sharks average 1d6+10 feet in length, with females being larger than males, but can grow to almost 20 feet and over 4,400 pounds. Although they are typically solitary predators, they have been observed working together to bring down larger prey. Hammerhead Shark (Small): Init +5; Atk bite +2 melee (1d3); AC 12; HD 1d8+4; MV Swim 60’; Act 1d20; SP critical hit on 19 -20; SV Fort +2, Ref +5, Will +0; AL N. Hammerhead Shark (Medium): Init +4; Atk bite +3 melee (1d5); AC 14; HD 2d8+6; MV Swim 60’; Act 1d20; SP critical hit on 19 -20; SV Fort +4, Ref +4, Will +0; AL N.

Hammerhead sharks come in various sizes, from about 3 feet long to just under 20 feet. They are easily distinguished by the head shape they are named for, although there can be considerable variation in the “hammer’s” appearance. Unlike many sharks, hammerheads sometimes “school” together, and can be found in large numbers. While they will attack humanoids without provocation, in the real world there are no recorded fatalities from such attacks. The fantasy world, of course, may differ.
