Sand Shark

The Sand Shark (also known as The Beast) is a minor antagonist in the TV series Aladdin. She appears in "Raiders of the Lost Shark" and "Beast or Famine."

Raiders of the Lost Shark
The shark, or the Beast as Merc calls it, is first seen when Farouk spots her going around Agrabah. Merc has Aladdin and his friends help him capture it and he uses Abu and later Jasmine as bait for The Beast to eat them. When the shark gets out of the sand and flies over Merc's ship, everyone sees that its chest is covered with treasure. Later, when Aladdin and the others find Jasmine, the shark approaches them. They get on a rock and the Beast tries to get them off so it could eat them. The gang is then rescued by Merc. When Aladdin and the others make the shark approach them as Merc tries to kill it, the beast runs into a rock and becomes unconscious. When the gang goes back to the palace, they tie the shark in front of it. The next morning, Merc frees the shark and it swims away.

Beast or Famine
Merc is going after the shark and about to throw his harpoon at it. But the shark then gets caught by rat-like people's harpoons and it gets eaten by them. Only the shark's bones are seen for the rest of the episode. Aladdin, Abu, and Merc use the shark's bones as a new ship since Merc's old one got wrecked to go rescue Genie from the rat people's hostile leader, the Shaman.
