The SendingStone review

The Hunter Shark is a relatively weak creature in terms of D&D combat, with a Challenge Rating of 2 and only 45 hit points. It has decent AC and Constitution, but poor Charisma and Intelligence. Its only attack is a bite, which does minimal damage. However, the Hunter Shark could still be a useful enemy for low-level parties or a fun encounter for marine-themed campaigns. Overall, while not a particularly formidable foe, the Hunter Shark can add some diversity to encounters and fits well within certain settings.
