There’s no reason to fix what isn’t wrong. To truly make this a final-boss-shark monster I’d boost the AC and hit points a bit, but Jaws is a shark. Blood Frenzy is a great touch, and the +9 to hit with a bite is borderline terrifying. I want to critique this shark, but I honestly can’t. If you’ve flipped through the monster manuals, you’ll be familiar with the number of regular animals and dinosaurs that exist as “monsters” in D&D. It’s a classic, it’s a great movie, it’s a little more relevant than many of us would like, and I think it would make a great D&D game. Well, maybe not, and I know more often than not I feel like I’m living in that scene where Mayor Vaughn is declaring the beaches safe and open. The 45th anniversary for the release of Jaws passed a few months ago, just in time to celebrate with completely harmless trips to the beach.

Get out of the water and tell the kids you’re going fishing, this week we’re making the characters from 1975’s Jaws for Dungeons and Dragons.
