Human Worlds Exploration
Note: There are no images on this page as I wanted this section to be left more to the imagination! This is to fuel the flexibility of Gummi Sharks having or being involved in things they normally wouldn't be involved in if they were to just stay in the Candy World.
Human Worlds
Gummi Sharks have unique access exclusive to them only to any world humans exist in via portals scattered underneath the Jelly Sea. No one is sure as to why these portals are only accessible to Gummi Sharks, not even Gummi Sharks themselves, but they don't resist using them. They have no control over the portals, but usually they end up in oceans of water near civilization. They've used these portals so often that their species' skin has adjusted to accommodate to the erosion effects water has on it by forming even more skin layers than they already had. Their top layer are skin are poisonous to insects and absolutely disgusting to other creatures if they are bit into. Gummi Sharks are an impressionable species, they especially are infatuated with the way humans live. This leads to many copying or even stealing their clothes, traditions (or what impression human traditions leave Gummi Sharks), technology, and other ways the best they can. Since they cannot understand human speech or read their languages naturally, they don't fully get as to why human do these things. |
Timelines and Dimensions
As they have no control over place or time a portal takes them, Gummi Sharks can appear at any point in time and location depending on the portal they use. This leaves them open to the danger of falling to their deaths, being lost in a dark forest or cave system, or even appearing out of a sewer right into traffic. (depending on the era and dimension) However going outside the Candy World can be very rewarding too since foreign but great treasures and wonders can be found out there in these mysterious worlds! Not to mention some familiar treasures appear out there as well. While Gummi Sharks do love discovering strange and new things, anything that bewilders them, especially technology, may scare them back to Candy World. Fewer would dare venture through a high technology era as they would in an era where weapons that match their own. However that doesn’t stop the truly curious that may come back with non-weapon technology and wear it as mere accessories. The scariest thought is Gummi Sharks either being caught and raised or Gummi Sharks that educate themselves in these high technological worlds and finding their way back to the Jelly Sea… That would explain the iron grip of one of the top Network Chains in the Gummi Shark gang hierarchy. Fortunately very few like this make it back. |
Domestication
There is a chance for Gummi Sharks to be found and domesticated at a young age. However this is a low chance because they are usually well hidden by their parents or only live in the Candy World. There are some parents that give up on their pups and kick them out to wander the world themselves though. Some Gummi Pups are just too wild to domesticate, so it's best to leave them alone. (unless you want to lose a few limbs)
If you do manage to domesticate a Gummi Shark, it will be loyal to you for life. They are capable of learning human speech and writing if put through rigorous, time-consuming training, but many owners don't get to achieve this since they are quite ignorant about Gummi Shark skin health. While Gummi Sharks can live for several years without being in jelly, they will be very miserable and unwilling to do anything that isn't required for survival. The best way to treat a Gummi Shark's skin is to soak them in a tub filled with jello, jelly, or jam every other month, or you may feed them tremendous amounts of gummy bears per year. Even then, some may be unaware of a Gummi Shark's sugar-heavy diet, and this can lead to a Gummi Shark's death within a few months.
