Description: Phorcys sharks are a genus of sharks closely related to Bull sharks, with Water affinity capable of reaching lengths of 4 meters long and stockier than most Sharks. Light gray and have a greenish tint to them, their bellies are white which allows them to blend into the ocean when viewed from the bottom and sneak up on their prey, creating a process generally called countershading. As with all sharks, Phorcys sharks have great sense of hearing, able to hear minute sounds and perfect sense of smell, able to determine the direction of a given scent based on the timing of scent detection in each nostril. This is similar to the method mammals use to determine direction of sound. They're excellent swimmers and can exert great strength though their jaws, with a bite force of up to 600 kilograms (1,300 lb), dealing S ranked damage. These sharks also have enhanced dermal denticle, giving them a sharp and strong teeth armor, capable of biting through B ranked jutsus like most sharks. They have the passive ability to swim through any type of water source, allowing them to leave the sea and "swim" through mist, making them deadly in the misty environment of Kirigakure. This is acheived through the use of employing water chakra to keep them afloat through mist and atop rain drops by causing the water to become denser under them as they swim, keeping them elevated. However, with the case of rain, there will never be enough rain to contain the density of these sharks so they inevitably fall back into the ocean by the end of that turn they are summoned, being able to be summoned up to 10 meters above the short range field of the user and able to be directed towards an opponent in order to allow the sharks to bull-dive direct into the opponent, biting them as it does so, with force of an A rank attack. These sharks, by nature, are able to use up to S rank water.
Phorcys sharks are also able to be summoned in their younger form, summoning Baby Phrocys sharks, each with the size of 1 meter. These Baby Phorcys sharks are remarkably similar to their adult counterparts, able to bite through C ranked jutsus and swim through mist at a faster rate, slightly faster than the average ninja runs. As they are smaller than than full grown Phorcys sharks, they are able to last twice as long in the air before inevitably falling back into a water source. A special trait that baby Phorcys Sharks are able to perform that their Adult counterparts are unable to, having become more solitary and hunting alone, is the ability to swarm a target. If in a water source, the user can call these baby sharks up and direct them 20 meters into the air where they are multiplied into 10 shark-clones, all around the opponent. They then swarm inwards attacking him with all different angles inflicting damage equal to an A ranked attack. These 10 baby Phorcys Shark-clones are only able to attack and defend collectively, no one individual shark can be utilized by itself and their power is divided among them, being that more sharks, equals smaller and weaker individual clones. The clones last only until the attack ends.
Note: Only Last 4 turns at the most.
Note: Can only be summoned once per battle; baby Phorcys sharks are able to be summoned twice. But if Baby Phorcys sharks are summoned twice, then the user cannot summon a fully grown version and if the fully grown shark is summoned, then the user cannot summon Baby sharks more than once.
Note: They are able to use Water up to S Rank (up to C rank for baby Phorcys).
Note: Using Phorcys to physically attack enemies count as an S ranked ability and counts towards the user's moves, as well as using water jutsu and the swarming of baby sharks.
Note: Skin resistance to damage pertains to physical damage, not damage from energies such as Lightning or Fire.
