The Shark

Glut (サメ) is a great white shark from the Atlantica world. He first appeared in Disney's "The Little Mermaid".

Glut is normally found swimming around the sunken ship area of Kingdom Hearts. He is considered an enemy at first, as you can escape fighting him, but later he has to be defeated to enter Ursula's lair. He is quite annoying as he attacks randomly, and can do a great deal of damage.

Glut has only 200 HP, which is 100 away from a full health bar, so he is relatively easy to defeat. He is more of a burden enemy than a real threat.

Appearance
Glut is a round, yellow-eyed shark seemingly based off of a great white shark. The top half of his body is navy blue, while the underside is a light blue color. He has three gill slits on either side of his body and a small nick in his tail fin. Glut only has one dorsal fin, not a second, smaller dorsal fin further down his body like most sharks. While his teeth are the typical triangular shape of a great white, they seem to lack serrations and, most notably, there is only one row of teeth in his mouth, as opposed to the multiple, rotating rows of teeth common to all sharks.

Trivia

 * Glut is neither named nor mentioned in the actual script for Kingdom Hearts. He is simply called "shark" in the Ultimania and Bradygames guides, but its name is given as "Glut" in official Disney records.


 * Glut is one of only eight enemies who do not have entries in Jiminy's Journal (the others being AntiSora, Bit Sniper, the Cave of Wonders Guardian, Chernabog, the Crank Tower, Shadow Sora, and World of Chaos).
 * Glut is one of the few enemies in the game, excluding bosses, that is neither a Heartless or a Nobody.
 * Glut is one of the only bosses in the Kingdom Hearts series that appears more than once after he is beaten. When his HP reaches 0, he is knocked out for a brief moment, before quickly swimming upward into the water to appear somewhere else in Atlantica.
