Characteristics

Hammer horrors are hammerhead shark monsters with front-facing eyes, black skin, and sickle-like limbs jutting out from their sides. They have countless legs like that of a centipede which they use to crawl about on the depths of the ocean. The sharks are able to attack with blades of razor-sharp wind and exhale a breath of malevolent darkness at their opponents. Their English name may possibly be a reference to Hammer Film Productions, a British studio known for making horror movies.
