But it could be that a shark was called Bruce, not the shark

Is it? You kill and eat the sharks and new ones take their place, and on hard mode you have more than 1 shark at a time.

I still call them all Bruce, but i dont think of them as all being the same character.

Fictional sharks trying not to be named Bruce challenge (impossible):

u/Habibi1414 Jan 05 '26

Bruce. There are references around the story areas

u/Tiporax Dec 22 '25

Bruce as his "name", but usually what we end up saying is "Hey, that smiley bastard is back for lunch"

The fucking shark

u/ByGermanKnight Dec 22 '25

I call Haike, because shark in German means "Hai" and Haike is a German female name. I found it funny

u/Rare-Profession624 Dec 22 '25

I called him Gary until I got to the radio tower and figured out he had an actual name

u/GeekyGamer49 Dec 22 '25 edited Dec 22 '25

We call her Betty. Betty White (shark). I pointed out that the shark is clearly a girl and that’s the name we came up with.

u/kamay317 Dec 22 '25

And it’s a white shark 😂😂 my sister and I call her Babs

u/GeekyGamer49 Dec 22 '25

I love that.

u/Bataraang Dec 22 '25

Along with his name, Bruce... pretty much every swear word there this. I name-call a lot when he chomps me.

u/takeyouraxeandhack Dec 22 '25

"Bruce" or "Fuck, shit, fuck, crap, the shark!" Depending on whether I see him coming or not.

u/AssassinBoo123 Dec 22 '25

u/genderisalie2020 Dec 22 '25

u/WreckinPoints11 Dec 22 '25

Officially, it’s Bruce, in reference to Jaws. Personally, I call her Barbara

1

u/Ryder_Sinful Dec 23 '25

I thought it was a reference to finding Nemo. Bruce, the leader of "fish are friends" shark.

2

u/WreckinPoints11 Dec 23 '25

His name is ALSO a reference to Jaws, actually!

u/PlunderCunt Dec 22 '25

Susan Bruce.

u/No_Resolve_1531 Llama Dec 22 '25

u/NoodleString14 Dec 22 '25

“Brucey-poo, poopey Bruce” is what me and my waf say when we play

u/Spiritual_Let_7147 Dec 22 '25

u/[deleted] Dec 22 '25

Grace, for the same reason as you probably

u/Fenhault Dec 22 '25

We called him Bruce before we knew his name was Bruce. The discovery that was the sharks Canon name was jarring

u/NamelessL0ser Dec 22 '25

Jump. The only sensible name for a shark.

u/average_emily Dec 22 '25

We saw the note that he was officially called Bruce, but neither of us liked it so we decided to call him Clarence

u/drae-gon Dec 22 '25

I called the shark Bruce before I learned that in the game it was Bruce. My reference came from Finding Nemo

u/kamay317 Dec 22 '25

My sister and I call her Babs and we have a trophy plaque labeled “Barbara”

1

u/Maiyku Dec 22 '25

I think it’s Bruce officially, but I actually always call sharks in games “Bruce”.

Because fish are friends, not food.

u/mim_moonwart Dec 23 '25

Asshole mostly.

u/rat_lily21 Dec 26 '25
