Sand Shark in-game

The Sand Shark is a recurring enemy in the Bubsy series.

Claws Encounters of the Furred Kind[]

Sand Sharks appears as a gray shark that hides underground. When Bubsy approaches, they will come out and attack him.

From Sharky started a long theme of aquatic or aquatic based predators for the rest of the Bubsy franchise.

Fractured Furry Tales[]

Another shark would appear in the third Bubsy game, Fractured Furry Tales, this time as an ocean based shark in the 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea world. For Bubsy the positive aspect was, this shark could be defeated like other opponents. The negative aspect was, this shark was a ruthless hunter, swimming up above Bubsy and striking with a diagonal attack. Within the Fractured Furry Tales, only the wasp are more relentless.

"Shark Attack! Sharp teeth, a nasty disposition and a taste for bobcats makes the shark try flying bites at Bubsy." - From the Fractured Furry Tales game manual.

Woolies Strike Back[]

The Sand Shark idea would be revisited 24 years later with the release of Bubsy: The Woolies Strike Back. Similar to the Land Sharks in Claws Encounters of the Furred Kind these sharks swim in the desert sand and cannot be defeated, only avoided.
