One of the most common species of Sharks you're ever likley to meet, they are recognizable from the horns that grow out of their head, resembling a Minotaur. The Taurshark is a species that has an abillity utterly unique to sharks: they can go into freshwater. Due to this they are the species that all ocean-living manamo rely on for trade inland, it is not uncommon for seafaring cities to have small canals that lead to rivers for them specifically. Due to this they can take up many jobs, from laying messages from sailors to their families or such jobs, no matter how murky the water is or how far they have to swim. They always seem to do any of these jobs with a smile and a happy personality. Due to this they often come into contact with humans and are well liked for what they do, they are even tolorated by the Order.
While all the jobs they do may make the Taurshark seem freindly, that is how they are on the job, when in private, their personalities take a full 180. When alone, they become violont and haughty, acting as if they are the quens of the ocean even greater than gods. This bragging usually appears amusing to their friends and While many people atttribute this to being like a child bragging about their power the Taurshark actually do have a reason to brag: their own power being near that of a Ghriwhite, due to this they can often be found as their lutenient to their kingdoms. Once they have a home they are extremely territorial, attacking anything or anyone they do not recognize. They prefer to attack people by ramming into them headfirst, charging into them, stunning them before they try to bite them. Most of the time though they realize that the "Attacker" coming in is not a threat and they are usually apologetic afterward.
Should one of these victems be a man, or even if they happen to see one: They almost instintainiously come into heat, and charge at him, ramming him to keep him down and initiate mating. Should he escape before this, they will chase him, knocking down anything in their path until he comes to him, the man cannot even escape them by going inland, due to their abillity to swim in fresh water, so it is always a matter of time before they capture him, even going so far as to jump out of a river and grab him before pulling him back into the water to fuck the mate they have been swimming after. They also do come accros people in rivers while on a job, should they see a man swimming, they simply can't help themselves, and tackle him.
When mating a Taurshark attacks the man with as much ferocity as she does any attacker, doing whatever she pleases to satisfy herself and him, for her: the man and her are now one and he is the only creature in the world that will always be greater than her. They do have a weak spot however: should their new husband rub the tips of their horns, they become overcome with pleasure, this apparantly being a sensitive zone for them. Should he do this, they become completley tame and submissive: and will allow him to use her to his hearts content, and the Taurshark will acknowledge him as her master and husband.
A married Taurshark changes quite obviously after the first mating. While she will now be somewhat more open with her bragging, it will always to brag about how great their husband is and how much he pleasures them, while this would normally attract curious unmarried manamo, the Taurshark almost always drives them off violently, beliving that only the best deserve to be a wife of her husband. Coupling this she will defend him from any predator with such a savage ferocity that it harkens to the days before the new DL. When alone a married Taurshark will often snuggle up to her husband and nuzzle him with her head across his chest; almost seeming to beg for a petting. When the husband sees her happy and content face he can't help but oblige..and things naturally escalate from there.
(Well, It's about time. In all honesty I was planning on doing this one a lot earlier, but I had to work some things out first: IRL bull sharks are the species that attacks the most people, most of this obviously being due to how they can live in freshwater...if you guys like her then feel free to leave any thoughts or worthwhile criticism down below!)
