White Shark Head Piece (part 36140) with pink eyes and silver teeth. The mouth is open to reveal a black spiral/shutter print on the internal minifigure head.

This specific figure usually comes with a silver katana or harpoon, though none are shown in the image.
Color Scheme
Dominant white with accents of light blue, dark grey, black, and a highlight of pink for the eyes.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the torso front and back, arms, and legs. The spiral detail inside the mouth is a standout feature of the Ninjago shark subordinates.
Variants
Closely related to other shark army members from The LEGO Ninjago Movie and the Garmadon henchmen from the 2018 TV show waves.
Condition Notes
The white shark head is prone to scuffing on the protruding snout. Check the hip joint for cracks and the tail for stress marks on the thin connection point.

Character Background
A member of the Sons of Garmadon motorcycle gang/organization that sought to resurrect Lord Garmadon using Oni Masks. The shark motif is a recurring villainous theme in Ninjago media.
Design Notes
Incorporates the molded shark-head element first popularized in The LEGO Ninjago Movie line, but with printing updated to match the Sons of Garmadon aesthetics.
Similar Minifigures
njo359 Great White, njo317 Hammerhead, njo323 Shark Army Gunner.
Collectibility
Moderate; higher for completionists of the SOG (Sons of Garmadon) wave but lower than primary characters like Lloyd or Harumi.
History
Represents the 'Greebling' or henchman phase of Ninjago where animal-hybrid mutants filled out the ranks of the antagonist factions.
Interesting Facts
The spiral print inside the mouth is intended to represent a dark, mechanical or abyss-like throat common to Garmadon's minions of this era.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside the Temple of Resurrection or with other marine-themed villains like those from the Hidden Side or Atlantis themes.
Modification Potential
Great for 'shark-man' MOCs or sci-fi aquatic warriors; the torso is highly versatile for futuristic armor designs.
Overall Assessment
A well-designed, thematic minion with excellent printing and a unique mold. It is a solid middle-tier collectible for Ninjago fans.
