A few years back, I ordered "rock" from the local fish & chip shop, and only realised when I unwrapped it back home that the presence of a cartilage backbone meant I must have received a hearty meal of shark! That got me Googling, and discovering that all manner of rather cute small shark species are served up under assorted names such as huss and rock salmon.
I ended up getting particularly smitten by the cuteness of the Small-spotted Catshark (Scyliorhinus canicula), a common species in British waters, and figured it'd be a fun choice for an aquatic 'sona ^^
While my initial description specified having a vest and shorts on, the version the artist created rocking the null look that you see here looked too darn swish to not roll with it <3

Exceptionally adorable! Jaws has sadly forever ruined the image of sharks as all great whites. There are so many small and adorable sharks in the waters. I have long been delighted by the very attractive lemon shark.
I was unaware of this equally charming dog shark, and even more delightful to know it’s quite British. No doubt they enjoy tea and football. Lovely sharksona!

The terminology is apparently quite confusing: this species is a catshark, but it often colloquially called a kind of dogfish, which are themselves a group of small shark species! Look up the wobbegong for a particularly weird and wonderful species, that looks like it should be in a Monster Manual for a roleplaying game.
