Beware weary travelers, for the waters of these lands are never as safe as one may think. Sure, the krakens and sea serpents that normally dominate the waters cannot be found amidst the rivers and lakes of the locklands, however, those that hunt the fish and sleep in the ponds can also eat the berries and climb the local trees. When wandering the woods beware the fins in the water, you may just be looking at the dreaded bearshark.

Inland Waters. Bearsharks are a hybrid creature that prefers to live near freshwater regions, such as large lakes within boreal forest regions, often found near maritime forests, though some have been spotted in saltwater swamps, and even ocean bays.

As these habitats work best to combine the ecosystems of their separate predecessors, you can be sure to run into a bearshark while out fishing, be it one returning to its lake territory after searching for food on land, or one chasing the tasty snack you have left for it on your line.

Ferocity. While it has long been proven that sharks are not nearly as deadly as one may believe, and would prefer to be left along to hunt fish, bears on the other hand are more open to the idea. Sure one can argue this is because their territorial, have cubs, or are starving because we are slowly but efficiently destroying their ecosystems and riling them up until they're an endangered specimens who have nothing to loose and will one day show how callous humanity is as a species when their either die off, or inevitably rise to challenge their oppressors, but then I'd say you're just a druid.

But a hungry bear, with the maw of a shark? Now that's a creature who I don't want to be on the bad side of. Thanks to their sharp, multiple rowed teeth, that have become quite ruthless and messy when eating meat, though thankfully they still prefer to eat salmon and other fish. Additionally, they do still seek out wild berries and honey, though their shark like maws due tend to make eating these foods less efficient for the bearshark. Thankfully, their larger esophagus prevents them from choking on unchewed foods.

Bearshark Origins. Like the owlbear, scholars have long debated the origins of the bearshark. The most common theory is that a group of wizards created the first specimen by crossing a shark with a bear as a chimera project. The Temporal Lord Raureif Viatorem tends to corroborate this story, claiming he remembers meeting the team lead, and can almost certainly assure the public that the leads excentricities are also why they're now found in the wild.
