  1. I remembered that the Were-Sharks in the original story are affected by Sleep, so they must have had 4 HD or less. The 1975 Warlock version of Sleep affects 1d6 of 3 or 4 HD.

  2. Very cool. Considering that this article was from 1976 and Jaws had just been released in 1975, I wonder if Hollywood's favorite shark was on their brains when the wereshark was conceived..

  3. Yes, plus the SNL Landshark first appeared in the Fall of 1975 and then again several times that season.
