sharklike
Like a predator
Resembling or characteristic of a shark—predatory, sleek, or relentlessly aggressive.
The word usually emphasizes menacing qualities: sharklike teeth, a sharklike grin, sharklike instincts in business negotiations.
It can also describe physical features: a sharklike profile suggests something streamlined and pointed.
