Daily D&D Monster: Dire Shark
I've never really been afraid of sharks. Guess it has something to do with not living anywhere near the ocean, but really, even just standing on the beach means your chance of getting attacked are super diminished. Unlike really scary things like bears and crocodiles, sharks are just stuck in the ocean. Orthacanthus on the other hand, lived in fresh water, which is really scary. Fresh water's generally murky, and has sticks and stuff which you can cut yourself on. The coloration is inspired by the arapaima and tiger shark, while the eyes are a universal trait given to it in paleoart, which I couldn't bring myself to exclude. This seems pretty thematically appropriate to Trey the Explainer's new video. Watch it here.
