Shapechanger. The wereshark can use its action to polymorph into a shark-humanoid hybrid or into a Large hunter shark, or back into its true form, which is humanoid. Its statistics, other than its size and AC, are the same in each form. Any equipment it is wearing or carrying isn't transformed. It reverts to its true form if it dies.

Blood Frenzy. (Shark Form Only) The wereshark has advantage on melee attack rolls against any creature that doesn't have all its hit points.

Amphibious. (Humanoid or Hybrid Form Only) The wereshark can breath air and water.

Water Breathing. (Shark Form Only) The wereshark can breath only underwater.
