Were you looking for the Megalodon from Hungry Shark World?

Megalodon is the 6th standard shark to be unlocked in Hungry Shark Evolution. Of colossal proportions, the Megalodon is the largest legitimate shark in the hungry shark series. It has a large scar running down the right side of its snout down to its gills.

Appearance[]

The Megalodon has a dark grey back and a lighter underbelly. It also has a visible scar on the right side of its face. Its body shape is virtually identical to that of the Great White.

Abilities[]

The Megalodon is very agile for its size and also eat paragliders with ease without having to boost out of the water (but sometimes you need to). It can just lift its head out of the water, in which this would be enough to reach the paraglider. Along with the sharks that are unlocked after it, Megalodon can eat the King of Summer and Jetskiers without needing to jump on their backs. This shark can eat every single creature in the game that is not an enemy shark, and even Mines, Mega Mines, Small Fishing Boats, and Shark Finning Boats. When fully leveled up, it is also extremely agile, being able to quickly ski across the lands and seamlessly wipe beaches clean of human life.

However, this monstrous creature has a few flaws. Its giant body makes it difficult for the shark to travel across tunnels, and also renders an easy target for various other smaller aggressive creatures such as Seals, Sharks and Divers. Although it can devour huge amounts of meat at a very quick pace, its health drains equally pretty fast. He needs 125000 points to trigger Gold Rush. (depends on the player's skill and the points)

The Megalodon is great for earning gems, as it is able jump high in the air, eating paragliders, helicopters and harpoon boat men with ease (which sometimes yield gems). Megalodon can also bite fishing boats and shark finning boats in half, which also sometimes yields gems as well. One of its weaknessess is it can get stuck easily, and it cannot eat Mini Sub's torpedoes. Megalodon can move on land easily, but its health will deplete rather quickly.

The DarkHammer, Dunkleosteus, Shar-khan, Mr. Snappy, Alan, Destroyer of Worlds, Moby Dick, Leo (Liopleurodon), (Lord Snappy), Nessie (Plesiosaur), (Aaron, the Destruktor), Sharkjira (Kaiju Shark), Abysshark, Kraken, Luminite, (Magmajira, Abyssaurus Rex), Behemoth, Fin, Finn, n Finny, and Sharknarok, who is the current strongest, are the 14 creatures stronger than the Megalodon, in the game.

Diet[]

The Megalodon has one of the biggest diets in Hungry Shark Evolution, as it can eat everything Except: Toxic Barrels, Enemy Big Daddies and above, Volcanic Jets, and Ultra/Death Mines and Pyro Sharks.

Pros and Cons[]

Pros:[]

Unbelievable bite power
Large health capacity
Fast movement speed
Large boost capacity
Massive diet
Can perform special actions on enemies (e.g. destroying whole boats)
Can consume lots of creatures in a single bite
Can move on land just as fast as through water
Long bite range
Size of Moby Dick.

Cons:[]

Pretty rapid health drain (without Baby Megalodon).
Hard missions and low mission rewards
Costs a lot to unlock and upgrade
Colossal size makes it get hit easily and get stuck and prone to Death Mines and Mini Sub's torpedoes

Inspiration[]

The Megalodon is based off of the actual extinct shark Otodus Megalodon. Megalodon used to be considered to be a close relative of the Great White Shark, hence why most depict it as a giant version of the Great White (even in-game), but it was later placed in otodontidae within the genus Otodus.

Trivia[]

Megalodon is not immune to Ultra/Death Mines and Mini Sub's torpedoes. However, Lava Baby and Alien Baby can protect your sharks. Lava Baby will protect Megalodon from Ultra Mines, Volcanic Jet and Mini Sub's torpedoes while Alien Baby will protect Megalodon from projectiles (Biplanes, Spear gun) and Mini Sub's torpedoes as well.
Its health drains extremely fast on land. Some players report that if the Megalodon eats a lot, especially pink jellyfish, the health drain of your health will increase until you start a new game. This may be the reason why the health drain of the other sharks are slower than the Megalodon or more powerful sharks. This is most likely a reference to the real reason of the extinction of the Megalodon. There wasn't enough food to feed all of the Megalodons. Eventually, the Megalodons grew so big that they starved to death.
In a previous version of the game, when purchased, the Megalodon had all of its stats maxed out. This is no longer available.
The Robo Shark and the Megalodon are the only sharks who can get a x64 multiplier during a gold rush. Stronger sharks can get bigger multipliers than the two, and these sharks are Big Daddy (Dunkleosteus) (x80 multiplier), Mr. Snappy (Mosasaurus) (x96 multiplier), Alan, Destroyer of Worlds (x112 multiplier), Moby Dick, Leo (Liopleurodon), Nessie, Sharkjira and after (x120 multiplier).
Megalodon was once considered the most powerful shark in the game, but many people argued that the Robo Shark was more powerful. The new Big Daddy (Dunkleosteus) is more powerful than both of them, and the newer Mr. Snappy (Mosasaurus) is also more powerful than the two and even more powerful than Big Daddy. Alan, Destroyer of Worlds is even stronger than Mr. Snappy, and so on. (The current strongest is now Behellmouth).
It has a lot of scars and its gills are oversized because, it was either resurrected with 'Twisted Science' (according to Hungry Shark's Facebook page, this is the canon explanation), or it fought a lot in its previous life.
Real Megalodons were much smaller than in game, early estimations put the Megalodon at almost 30m, but more recent studies agree that Megalodons were actually between 15 and 20m
It is possible, if extremely rare, to find a Megalodon that is bigger than the maximum length it normally is, though it is possible and also works with stars and penguins.
Megalodon (while not the largest creature in the game) is technically the largest, fastest, toughest and strongest standard shark in the game (as Big Daddy, Moby Dick and others are technically not sharks and are just other marine creatures).
Megalodon means 'Big Tooth' and it’s scientific name is Otodus Megalodon
Sometimes when you exit Arctic Portal you can see giant Megalodon who is even bigger than Big Daddy guarding a moon on a stick. It’s a glitch.
Its model is completely identical to that of the Great White Shark, besides being larger in size.
Megalodon is not closely related to the Great White and was actually an otodontid
Formerly, its Eats section contained Pink and Green Jellyfish, but they no longer appear in its Eat section. It can still eat them however.
