Notes
To edit these notes, go to Template:Gral, the Shark notes.
- Gral, the Shark's Battlecry causes him to remove a random minion from the player's deck and gain that minion's Attack and Health (but not any of its card text). Gral's Deathrattle generates a copy of the minion that was removed.[1][2][3]
- If Gral's Battlecry triggers twice as a result of playing him with
Brann Bronzebeard or 
Spirit of the Shark on the board, he will remove and gain the stats of two different minions from the player's deck, and his Deathrattle will consequently generate a copy of each minion.[4]

Lore[edit | edit source]
This section uses content from the Warcraft Wiki.- Gral, the shark, is the loa of the sea. He is worshiped by the Zandalari, at his shrine of Atal'Gral in Zuldazar. The deep ocean is his realm and the darkest ocean is his domain. He is wise and takes a long view on things. Gral is quite powerful and when it comes to his knowledge of the sea, none can compare. He watches over every voyage.
- Five years before the war in Zandalar, the naga tore down Gral's temple Atal'Gral and killed every last one of his followers. Gral was furious and anyone near the water could feel his pain as each follower fell. There was talk by the Zandalari of rebuilding the temple, but with Gral either missing or weak, it remained just talk.
- The naga would return years later seeking secrets at the ruins of Atal'Gral, and Gral was awakened to combat them. Gral knew that the naga were dealing with darkness they could not comprehend and would soon become nothing more than a hollow tool to those who may answer. He could feel it beneath and around him, and so awakened from his slumber in order to defeat their local leader Summoner Siavass. Gral knew that Queen Azshara reached into a dark place from where she could not return, and vowed to tear her apart himself when the time came in revenge for his followers.
In Hearthstone lore, Gral serves as the patron loa of Gral's Sharks, the swashbuckling, cheating-prone rogue team in Rastakhan's Rumble.
- Gral was not a subtle Loa. When he wanted something, he went for it, full force. He was a natural match for Captain Hooktusk and the bloodthirsty band of buccaneers she called a Rumble team. When it came to the Sharks, ruthless was a euphemism. They never played by the rules. Sometimes they’d even make up rules just for the pleasure of breaking them. Just before they broke their opponents.[5]
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- Gral's flavor text is a reference to "You're gonna need a bigger boat", a famous quote spoken by Martin Brody in the 1975 film Jaws.
