Megalodon Shark

"The size of a house and razor sharp teeth... The most ferocious predator ever to exist is back!" - In game description

Megalodon is the sixth standard shark to be unlocked in Hungry Shark Evolution. Of colossal proportions, the Megalodon is the largest legitimate shark in the series and the second largest playable creature in Hungry Shark Evolution, with a mouth large enough to swallow a human whole; it has over-sized gills, and a large scar running down the right side of its snout down to its gills.

This shark is extremely powerful; it can eat almost all creatures and even basic Mines (except ultra mines) and 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 enormous 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 Reef Sharks and Divers. Although it can devour huge amounts of meat at a very quick pace, its health drains equally fast.

There are only five creatures that are stronger than the Megalodon; the Dunkleosteus, Mr. Snappy, Giant Crabs, Mini Subs, and Alan, Destroyer of Worlds.

Cost

The Megalodon can be bought for 50,000 coins or 900 gems.

Abilities

  • The Megalodon is the fourth most powerful playable creature after the Big Daddy, Mr. Snappy, and Alan, Destroyer of Worlds, being able to eat everything except Toxic Barrels, Death Mines, and Mini Sub torpedoes. Megalodon's extremely high Bite stat allows it to eat many creatures in under a second. Sometimes, Megalodon eats so quickly that it doesn't even close its mouth; it just leaves it open and lets food fly into it.​ Megalodon shares the fourth highest maximum health with the Great White Shark, though both are beat by the Big Daddy, Mr. Snappy, and Alan, Destroyer of Worlds. When a jet-pack is equipped, this makes it possible for all sharks to fly continuously if the boost is used in bursts. Combined with its amazing speed stat, Megalodon is able to reach the bottom of the ocean in seconds. It can also leap extremely high into the air, letting it eat Paragliders with ease.

Megalodon can eat paragliders without having to boost out of the water. It can just lift its head out of the water and this will be enough to reach the paraglider. Along with the Big Daddy, Mr Snappy, and Alan, Destroyer of Worlds, the Megalodon can eat the King of Summer and Jetskiers without needing to jump on their backs.

The Megalodon is great for earning gems, as it can 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 weak points is it can get stuck easily, and it cannot easily avoid Mini Sub's torpedoes as it can't eat the torpedoes.

Megalodon can move on land easily, but its health will deplete rather quickly.

AwwTrivia

  • 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.
  • 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. Three sharks can get bigger multipliers than the two, and these sharks are Big Daddy (Dunkleosteus) (x80 multiplier), Mr. Snappy (Mosasaurus) (x96 multiplier), and Alan, Destroyer of Worlds (x112 multiplier).
  • Megalodon was once considered the most powerful shark in the game, but many people argued that the Robo Shark was more powerful. One such debate can be found in our forums, under the Fun and Games board. 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. The newest shark, Alan, Destroyer of Worlds, is currently the newest and most powerful shark in the game, even stronger than Mr. Snappy.
  • The exact method of unlocking Megalodon is a cause of fiery debate amongst the Hungry Shark community. However, roughly, you must first reach the Hammerhead Shark at Level 3 to view the "Relic of Megalodon ", which is the first information you will find about the Megalodon's inclusion in the game. The relic will tell you that you must "experience the Great White Shark" to see Megalodon. Once you have unlocked and played as the Great White Shark for the first time, then the actual Megalodon will finally appear in store. To buy it with coins , you have to reach level 10 with GW.
  • 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 explaination), or it fought a lot in its previous life.
  • Although the shark's description in the game says it reaches 25 meters long (82 feet), it is obviously much smaller in the game, being less than 50 feet.
  • Real Megalodons were much smaller then 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 and fastest standard shark in the game (as Big Daddy and Mr. Snappy are technically not sharks and are just primitive marine creatures).
  • Megalodon means 'Big Tooth'.
  • 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.
  • Despite being almost 3x bigger then great white they both have the same health but great whites can't eat enemy megalodons.
  • Megalodon shows the broadest diet in the "Eats" section of the "Shark info" section.
