Pseudo Shork

Template:Gootraxian Pseudo Shorks are "shark" Gootraxians and the Power Outage variation of the regular Shork.

It has large blue eyes with small, white pupils surrounded by white rings. Light pink spots and stripes cover it's body, along with a light pink underbelly and "paws". There are two pairs of gills on it's torso with a bright blue interior, matching it's eye color.

Unlike the other Shork Gootraxians, it lacks a fin on its back.

Abilities

Psuedo Shork is capable of doing a lunge that can ragdoll humans if they get grabbed by it. However, if the human is low enough then their neck will be snapped and be killed. After that, Psuedo Shork will transform into whoever they have killed.

Acquirement

Pseudo Shork can be obtained by colliding with one of the mini sharks in the Flooded Area during a Power Outage or by being infected by another Pseudo Shork Gootraxian.

Bestiary Entry

This gootrax is a lanky pink and white stripped shark like creature that likes to hide in dimly lit areas. They prefer dim lighting rather absolute darkness, thus leading to the team to believe this Shork has adapted to the more poorly lit areas of their tank. Unlike regular Shorks, this branch of gootrax is very puppy like, interacting with subjects and looking at them like a curious animal more so. However don't be fooled by its cute exterior, it is but a facade. As soon as it can catch an opportunity to strike, it WILL take it.
