Jaws was a scrapped boss for Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake. Presumably one of the elite mercenaries of Zanzibar Land, he was mentioned by Hideo Kojima in Famitsu PlayStation 3 Vol. 12 regarding various concepts for Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake. In particular, he was a soldier who would have turned into a shark.[1] A conceptual map of Zanzibar Land indicated that Jaws was to be fought on the first floor of the Zanzibar Building (presumably within the sewer system).[2] His codename was most likely meant to be a reference to the 1975 film and later franchise based on the book of the same name, similar to Jungle Evil's original name of Predator being a reference to the film of the same name, and to a lesser extent fellow cut character Maniac Cop being named after the film of the same name.
Chinaman's abilities regarding summoning sharks was similar to Jaws' overall role in the game.
