DEMISHARKS
A Demon Shark open species
created by OUROBORIDE
──── + + + ────
HISTORY
Demisharks where once the Legions of the the demonic Duke Focalor, sent upon mankind to drown sailors and sink ships. As with many lesser demons, they would enjoy playing tricks and deceiving the sailors, seeing it all as a bit of fun. Once the connection to the underworld was lost the Demisharks found themselves trapped in the mortal realm, and with human technology advancing so quickly, their ships became harder and harder to sink.
Eventually most Demisharks decided to give up their life of mischief and joined the humans on land, trying their best to work jobs and fit in with a society that still held an old grudge against their kind. Some chose to continue their original directive, living in the deep ocean and only being spotted occasionally by the occasional ship unlucky enough to cross their path.

ANATOMY
Demisharks are a type of lesser demon, falling in with rank with smaller demons such as Imps. Their anatomy is an even split between demon and shark with the majority of their body being the common build of a lesser demon. Though the demonic traits (Human like body, presence of horns) seem to be consistent throughout the species, the finer details vary greatly from Demishark to Demishark. Most of their shark-like traits are determined by the species of shark they are related to though there is no limit to the variations that can occur even then. For example, the Pyjama shark featured above has a long soft tail without many fins and has a fondness for soft clothes!

TRAITS
✦HORNS
Most Demisharks have small horns, mostly used for way-finding when underwater and can actually be soft and sensitive to the touch. Some others have larger horns made of solid bone which are used for combat.
✦EARS
A Demisharks ears are standard for a demon, slightly longer than a humans and ending in a soft point. Their sense of hearing is stronger in the water than on land.
✦EYES
Their eyes more closely resemble a demon's than a shark though it varies throughout the species. Though a slit pupil is most common other shapes are known, as well as unusual colour irises and sclera.
✦TEETH
All Demisharks have similarly sharp pointed teeth, they are a consistent shape throughout the entire mouth and grow back quickly when lost, much like a shark.
✦GILLS
Gills are present on both the neck and chest, though some have them only on the chest. Demisharks breathe with both their gills and their lungs giving them the ability to live consistently underwater or on land for long periods of time. A Demishark can grow ill if their gills are allowed to dry out so even those on land take regular showers and trips to the beach/pool. Even when not in use a Demishark can feel uneasy if their gills are all covered in tight clothing so many chose loose or smaller clothing instead, trying to keep their gills free from clingy materials.
✦FINS
A Demishark can have any amount of fins, usually dependent on the amount the shark they are related to has. While not all Demisharks have a dorsal fin on their body, they all have Pelvic fins (The small ones at the base of the tail) though some are smaller or larger than others.
✦TAIL
The tail is a key feature of a Demishark and is usually the same size as the rest of their body combined. It is the source of most of their swimming power though it is difficult to keep balanced on land because of it's weight. The style of the tail is strongly dependent on the type of shark they are related to but like everything else, there is much variation even between more related Demisharks.
✦HANDS
A Demishark's hands usually has webbed fingers, though it varies often. Most have nails but some of the more aggressive types are known to have claws instead.
✦LEGS
Demisharks have stubby feet as their bodies are designed to be more practical in the water than it is on the land. Most have extra fins on their legs for easier swimming but some have smaller fins and sometimes none at all.
✦HEIGHT
Just like sharks, a Demishark's height varies immensely, smaller species can range down to 5'0" with larger Demisharks reaching above 7 feet tall. Some say there are Megalodons out there but no one has ever confirmed their height.
