Skysharks cut through the air with a thoughtless ease. Just a taste of blood gives them an enraged strength, and further morsels drive them into a frenzy.

Useful Info

Skysharks are fast and deadly denizens of the Lair and Shoals. Skysharks get more dangerous after they taste blood: at first they get the Might status (+50% damage) for 10-20 turns, and then they can go berserk, also for the same duration.

Tips & Tricks

If skysharks can't taste blood, they won't go berserk. Undead species, Djinn, and Gargoyles are immune. For living species, a potion of lignification will turn you into a bloodless tree, and gives hefty AC to boot.
They don't have any resistances and their willpower is relatively low. So you can disable them from a distance using hex wands or curare darts.
Skysharks' lack of poison resistance makes them good targets for Mephitic Cloud. But be careful, if a confused skyshark bites you or a nearby monster, it'll become enraged.
