Does the Mawloc's Terror From The Deep ability count as a shooting attack? There are a number of different abilities that only activate against shooting, such as Artillery giving their toughness to it's crew (ergo the title) or the R'Varna's inv save.

It doesn't say it is a shooting attack so it isn't.

Also the latest version of the R'varna doesn't have a special shield generator anymore, just the regular riptide one.

No, it is not considered a shooting attack. TFTD happens in the DS/Movement phase. Similar to a Vector Strike or SporeMineCyst drop from the harpy.
