Shaw is a sourly fisherman who relentlessly pursues the Krakken, a beast that roams the lake in which he fishes, in the episode "The Krakken". Upon first seeing this creature, he swore to "capture" it (by means of a harpoon cannon) in order to verify his claims. This mission has earned him a less than favorable reputation among the nearby residents. Most think of him as crazy. Ben Tennyson helps him to reveal the existence of the Krakken, but Shaw is unable to capture it, instead capturing Ripjaws thinking him to be a baby Krakken, only to have him revert back into Ben. Captain Shaw was a reference to Robert Shaw the actor who portrayed the obsessed fisherman, Quint in Jaws (1978)
