'''The Shark'''<!--KHUX--> is a vicious great white shark found in [[Atlantica]], only appearing there in ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|game}}''. It first appeared in Disney's ''{{w|The Little Mermaid (1989 film)|The Little Mermaid}}''.

The Shark is normally found swimming around the Sunken Ship area. It is considered a minor enemy at first as [[Sora]] can avoid fighting it, but it must be defeated later to enter [[Ursula]]'s lair. It attacks randomly, and can do a great deal of damage. 

The Shark is one of only eight enemies in ''Kingdom Hearts'' who do not have entries in Jiminy's Journal (the others being [[AntiSora]], [[Bit Sniper]], the [[Cave of Wonders Guardian]], [[Chernabog]], the [[Crank Tower]], [[Shadow Sora]], and [[World of Chaos]]).

==Story==
===''Kingdom Hearts''===
The Shark mainly appears around the Sunken Ship and attacks Sora and company while they are in the area. When the friends are searching for Ursula's lair, it attacks in an attempt to eat them. Upon being defeated, it flees. However, it still remains around the Sunken Ship after the sea-witch's defeat.

Once the Final Keyhole opens, the Shark is no longer around the ship; [[Darkball]]s and [[Sheltering Zone]]s take up residence instead.

==Design==
The Shark is a massive great white shark with a rotund body and yellow eyes. The top half of its body is a dark blue-grey, while the underside is a lighter blue-grey color. It has three gill slits on either side of its body and a small nick in its tail fin. The Shark only has one dorsal fin, without the second, smaller dorsal fin further down its body like most sharks. While its teeth are the typical triangular shape of a great white, they seem to lack serrations and, most notably, there is only one row of teeth in its mouth, as opposed to the multiple, rotating rows of teeth common to all sharks.

==Origin==
The Shark, nicknamed '''Glut''' in official Disney records,<ref>[http://jimhillmedia.com/blogs/jim_hill/archive/2006/09/29/5994.aspx A special "Under the Sea," bulge-free, M-I-C edition of Why For]</ref> originated from the Disney 1989 movie, ''{{w|The Little Mermaid (1989 film)|The Little Mermaid}}''. He first appears attempting to kill [[Ariel]] and [[Flounder]] in the Sunken Ship and pursues them, although the chase causes damage to the ship in the process. However, Glut ends up getting his head stuck in an anchor and is not seen again afterwards.
