Goliath

Goliath is a great white shark that had been mutated when chemical sludge was carelessly dumped in it's lake. The result made him a vicious shark monster that killed at first sight.

Goliath will appear in 'The Shark of Lake Paradiso', where the Lodgers will try and find the mutant shark with the help of it's rival, the shark-hunting seagull named Spencer.

History
Goliath was born in Lake Paradiso on the vacation planet of Paradisa. Unlike his kind, Goliath never killed swimmers for food. In fact, he nver killed any at all. He wanted his kind to never eat any of them again, and just eat regular fish. He decided to prove to them that the people don't deserve to be eaten for food. So, he decided to try and persuade his friends and family to stop eating the swimmers, but they refused. So Goliath had no choice but to keep the sharks from eating any more swimmers. When he did it for the first time, the shark reported him to the shark authorities and he was banished from his home.

Goliath had no place to live, and the fish he tried to hunt were getting faster than him. When he lost hope, he wished that he had the power to set things right. Then it happened. A chemical sludge was dumped on him from the surface, and he became a mutated shark. Using his new qualities, he returned home, and finally proved that the people were as unique as they were. But his father was disgusted by his preaching and appearence that he decided to force him away. During an arguement with his father, Goliath's anger triggered a horrible pulse in his mutated brain, his agression levels rised, and he became a mad animal and lost his sense of compassion for the people, and began eating them. His father was impressed by his power, and thanked him, but Goliath's rage was too powerful, and he killed his father, causing the sharks to panic. Goliath began eating not just the people, but also his own kind.

The story of Goliath spread across the surface world, and the scientist responsible for the dumping of the chemical sludge, Dr. Gunther, a physicist dog who discovered a substance that improves the protiens of an animal, upgrading their growth. However, the production of the substance, nicknamed 'Ribonium', creates a toxic waste that mutates DNA, and this lead to Goliath's mutation. When Gunther learned about this shark, he captured it, and tried to poison it to prevent it from causing any more deaths. But Goliath was too strong for him, and escaped, blowing up Gunther, his lab, and the only hope of curing him. After this spread out, many people have tried to hunt Goliath down, but they were all eaten. But one seagull named Spencer proved to be a worthy opponent for Goliath. Spencer was a well-trained shark hunter that kills about 10 sharks a week who always eluded Goliath. Spencer wondered when he would capture Goliath, and stop his bloody reign.
