Rokea don't have tribes, but come from many different species of shark. Some of the most common species, with their Rokea names, are:

    * Karkha (great white sharks)
    * Spynha (hammerhead sharks)
    * Lexcha (bull sharks)
    * Ixya (mako sharks)
    * Galchurva (tiger sharks)
    * Greenland Sharks ( No name is listed for them in the Rokea Book)

    * Hexanchiformes: Examples from this group include the cow sharks, frilled shark and even a shark that looks on first inspection to be a marine snake.
    * Squaliformes: This group includes the bramble sharks, dogfish and roughsharks, and prickly shark.
    * Pristiophoriformes: These are the sawsharks, with an elongated, toothed snout that they use for slashing the fish that they eat.
    * Squatiniformes: Angel sharks.
    * Heterodontiformes: They are generally referred to as the bullhead or horn sharks.
    * Orectolobiformes: They are commonly referred to as the carpet sharks, including zebra sharks, nurse sharks, wobbegongs and the whale shark.
    * Carcharhiniformes: These are commonly referred to as the groundsharks, and some of the species include the blue, tiger, bull, reef and oceanic whitetip sharks (collectively called the requiem sharks) along with the houndsharks, catsharks and hammerhead sharks. They are distinguished by an elongated snout and a nictitating membrane which protects the eyes during an attack.

They include the goblin shark, basking shark, megamouth shark, the thresher sharks, shortfin and longfin mako sharks, and great white shark. They are distinguished by their large jaws and ovoviviparous reproduction. The Lamniformes include the extinct megalodon, Carcharodon megalodon.
