Yeah, they're basically the same except bigger and badder, and updated to 4e. 4e Shark Men are bad news unless utterly outclassed by technology: they're as smart as Humans and Mers, but the weakest librarian among them can just bear-hug an athletic Mer and swim for bottom if they're hell-bent on methodical murder, gnawing on them the whole way if they're especially angry. It's a rarity in fantasy to see a big, strong species with Human-level IQ and self-control.
