Given that I mentioned my Jinhao shark pen, I figured I should post a picture!

Photo of a fountain pen with the cap on. The material is clear plastic, though there is a transparent section below the cap where the converter and black ink is visible.
The body of the pen tails off to a rounded point, but the cap resembles the head of a shark, including eyes, a closed mouth, four gill slits and a dorsal fin.

Here's the hooded nib! It's supposed to prevent the ink from drying out in the nib so quickly, as well as preventing inky fingers!

Close up photo of the nib section of a fountain pen. The nib itself is steel, pointed with a slightly bulbous tip; it is mostly hidden by a 'hood' of black plastic, which leads into a transparent yellow body.
Behind this is the pen's cap; it is yellow plastic and resembles the head of a shark, with one eye and two gill slits visible.

The quality control for the brand, particularly the cheaper pens, can be a little iffy, but most of these pens I've had have written really well. Takes international cartridges but comes with a converter for use with bottled ink. It's also really cute!
