Useful Info
Skysharks are fast and deadly denizens of the Lair and Shoals. They can also be found in the company of Norris. 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 a skyshark can't taste blood, it can't go berserk. Undead species, Djinn, and Gargoyles don't have blood, so are immune to bloodzerk. For living species, a potion of lignification will turn you into a bloodless tree, and gives hefty AC to boot. Statue Form, Storm Form and Death Form will turn you bloodless, though by the time you have these forms you should be able to take on one with ease.
- They don't have any resistances, and their willpower is relatively low. You can disable them from a distance using hex wands, curare darts, etc.
- Skysharks will happily charge into poisonous or freezing clouds, but will take heavy damage in the process. If you have poison resistance, you can kite the skyshark through the poisonous clouds to kill it.
- Skysharks are good targets for Mephitic Cloud. Watch out, though, since a confused skyshark can become enraged if it hits another monster (even if you don't have blood yourself).
- Skysharks are cold-blooded and will be slowed by cold attacks.
History
- Skysharks have been added in 0.30.
