NEUTRAL Sharks!!!!!

Alright, HEAR ME OUT Mojang. We know you don't want to add hostile or passive sharks because they could lead to stereotypes, but why don't you just make them neutral? Here's my idea:

1) If you attack a shark only once, it'll only take a small nibble out of you (1/2 heart).

2) If you keep annoying a shark multiple times, then it'll have enough and take a big bite out of you (6 and a half hearts).

3) Actually, you could just make them Whale Sharks or Hammerhead Sharks, as they don't bother humans whatsoever in real life. Then, they could deal less damage.

Kind regards,

A Bedrock Dude

    I wish they would actually consider how to add sharks in a way that respects the relife animals. No exp, no new item, purely neutral, and not a blood thirsty killer. It's so unfair to claim to care about endangered animals while sharks, an ancient family of beautiful creatures, are literally being killed just because one movie overhyped them. Shark attacks are rare, fatal attacks are rarer, and sharks of all kinds are killed in the thousands each year. Teaching kids that wild dogs and wolves can be tamed is way more harmful than adding sharks, wild dogs are some of the deadliest things you can encounter. Rabies, starvation, abuse, these can all drive packs of intelligents dogs to rip cars apart to get to people. I would kill to see one of the many mostly docile sharks that exist in the world to be added solely as an ambient predator. Maybe they could attack you if you're wearing a sea turtle helmet, but only one bite, and if you hit them a few times they'd run away and go passive like how you're supposed to go for their eyes to get one off? Idk, I'm just sad sharks are still given a weak reason for not being allowed, alligators and the like as well! There are plenty of endangered croc-like animals like the Gharial that could go extinct in my life time if awareness isn't raised.

    Frilled or goblin shark in deep ocean would be also give a good atmosphere (even as a passive mob) with some glowing abyssal fish. Or even better, make Shark a teamable mob who defend you against drowned and guardians like axolotl ?
