Shark, 'Jaws'

Your Motivation: You are a great white shark. As such, you are hungry. All. The. Time. Luckily, the town of Amity is like a maritime smorgasbord during the summer. (In the winter, you vacation in the Caribbean, where you stalk the shark-killing Brody family.)

Key Characteristics: Gray, shark-like, good swimmer, 25 feet long, apparently holds a grudge.

Typical Dialogue: "Glug, glug, glug, RAAAAAARRR!"

How to Achieve the Look*: Get some sort of experimental "species change" to turn yourself into a shark, or at least a porpoise with a chip on its shoulder. Make sure to have a body of water nearby that's bigger and saltier than your bathtub. Find a string quartet to follow you around and play your theme song.

The Easy Way Out: Compare prices on shark costumes
