BG1's "Underwater Science vs Myth" Edges:

Walrus Fangs vs Sharp Teeth: Fangs can cut really deep into flesh and perhaps may chop off a tentacle or two from the Sharktopus; however I'm not sure if the Ketos' plate armour can stand up to those teeth (I see in the picture the sharktopus is taking a bit of a navy ship also made of plated steel methinks)

EDGE: Even

Tentacles vs Tail and Coils: Ketos has got only one tail that could act like a tentacle; the Sharktopus has lots of tentacles: need I say more?

EDGE: Sharktopus

Quills vs Plated Chest Armour: I doubt that the quills will act as sufficient armour for the sharktopus than the plated steel armour

EDGE: Ketos

Overall Winner: Despite the Sharktopus having a lot of crushing tentacles, my winner goes to the Ketos because it is a mythological creature that requires a lot of bite and strength to beat it (for a comparison of strength, lets see how each of these monsters were defeated: the Sharktopus was taken down by a television crew and a group of scientists, the Ketos was slain by Perseus and Hercules, two super-humanly strong beings)
