Shalug the Shark is an Orc pirate captain who rules the Shark's Teeth crew and is based in the Shark's Teeth Grotto. Recently, her crew was overrun by the rival Wake Walker pirates who are trying to take the Grotto from her. She is looking for assistance in getting revenge and driving them out.

Quest-Related Events[edit]

When you meet her, she will think that you are one of the Wake Walker pirates.

"Stop right there, you despicable pirate! Take one more step and I'll gut you, belly to nose."
Rohefa said you had work for me. (If you spoke with Rohefa first.)
"She's got some sharp tusks for a Redguard, that's for sure. But what about you? I lead the meanest crew of cutthroats in Hew's Bane, but the Wake Walkers ….
This grotto belongs to the Shark's Teeth and I won't let those pirates ransack it!"
I'm not a pirate, so back off! (If starting the quest through Shalug)
"Well now, you must have some sharp tusks if you're willing to stand up to the Shark. Don't you know that I lead the meanest crew of cutthroats in Hew's Bane?
This grotto belongs to the Shark's Teeth and I won't let these pirates ransack it!"
Who are these pirates you keep mentioning? (Both lead to the same question)
"The Wake Walkers? Bunch of water-logged Elves from a garbage scow with a grandiose name!
There's a new commodore and suddenly all the pirate crews want to find gifts that will impress her. But the grotto's ours—loot and all!"
So how can I help you deal with the Wake Walker pirates?
"Everybody wants to be one of the Shark's Teeth, eh? All right. Take this paint and a map of the grotto. Just place our sigil at the spots shown on the map to mark our territory. Simple, right?
Just don't tusk it up. Or else."
What's the point of placing your sigil in the grotto?
"To show that Sea Elf captain and his toothless lackeys that the grotto belongs to the Shark's Teeth, of course!
When they see that we can do what we want despite their numbers, those cowards will flee and the grotto will be mine again."
Tell me about the new commodore.
"Just another bragging blowhard with a fancy hat, far as I'm concerned. Pirates think they're a proper navy. Ha! But they do like their titles and finery.
Anyway, they all want to impress the new commodore, so now they're rummaging through my grotto!"
Why do they call you the Shark?
"Because I never sleep, I never stop moving, and I'm a born killer! Plus, my haircut kind of looks like a shark's fin.
I run the best gang in Hew's Bane, handling protection, stolen goods, and what not. Or we will—once we get our grotto back."

After you have painted the sigils and made your way back to Shalug.

"You do good work, friend. If I didn't know any better, I'd say that a true Shark's Tooth painted those sigils! I'm thrilled to see our mark back where it belongs!
I've decided you can live. Only seems fair, what with your help and all."
You owe me some gold, too, don't you?
"Greed. Another admirable trait. Anyone who claims to work for free either wants to rob or cheat you. Never trust an unselfish cur, that's my motto.
Here's your gold. You want more, come back tomorrow. Probably need to replace the sigils by then."

If you talk to her after getting your gold.

"What are you still doing here? Get lost. If you're lucky, I'll have more work for you tomorrow."

Notes[edit]

  • After her quest is completed she will suggest she might have more work for you, but she does not offer any additional quests.
  • While Shalug describes the Wake Walkers as "water-logged Elves", the pirates encountered in the delve are mostly comprised of Argonians, Khajiit and Nord, with some Maormer healers as support.
