These creatures are my characters and my designs.
Make your own or have an artist draw it for you.



Tiger Sharks - hybrids/anthros, combination of human and shark DNA (cuz I can lol)...been messing with the idea lately (yep that's how I study for my state exams...sigh)

So here's a sketch and some info for the illustration of the species.
  • Female (left) & Male (right)
  • Can be distinguished by the length of their 'hair' (which are actually prolonged stripes of their skin/scales)
  • Females have thicker skin - hence the short hair. (evolutionary enhancement in sharks due to their sometimes violent mating habits (males tend to bite...)
  • Because of mammalian genes females are usually the same size or a bit smaller than males unlike their shark counterpart (where females are bigger).
  • Their size also depends on age (not as much as in sharks but still) - young female is considerably smaller than much older male
  • Even though they reproduce similarly to mammals females do not have mammaries. Their offsprings are able to eat solid food from their birth
  • Females tend to group together and segregate from males. Rarely, there are mixed groups (females do tolerate males if they 'behave'). Males are usually loners, sometimes make packs of several individuals.
  • They are very intelligent even though they live in more primitive (animal-like) way.
  • They are not able to speak due to atrophied vocal cords. Though they are able to make other sounds if air is present in their lungs (yes they have both gills and (reduced)lungs).
  • Among themselves they can communicate through electric impulses similarly to electric fish
