In the first few versions of Hungry Shark Evolution, the Giant Crab was not yet added. If you try to go in the Crab Lair, the gate is locked and there's a sign hanged on the crab symbol's pincer saying "Out to Lunch". This also happens if you have a device that can't support the Giant Crab.
I found out about this when I got the extremely ancient 1.3.5. version of Hungry Shark Evolution, The graphics back then were MUCH better and nostalgic, and apparently, Harpoon Boats spawned more frequently.
5. Nessie
+ Advantage: Twisty body which can be quite easy to dodge the snaps.
- Disadvantage: Massive health drain and colossal body making it very easy to die if you didn't experience its moving skills.
Advice: Get Nessita, as it reduces the health drain and also, equip the crab fork. You also need experience its moving skills.
4. Kraken
+ Advantage: A giant squid with a lot of health and also a very high boost, which increases the chance of attacking the crab's weak spot.
- Disadvantage: Massive health drain.
Advice: Get Baby Kraken, as it reduces the health drain. The crab fork is sometimes required if you want to end the fight quickly.
3. DarkHammer
+ Advantage: Decent health, slow health drain.
- Disadvantage: Decent health isn't enough when fighting the king crab at 'red battery'*. Also, EXTREMELY small boost.
*I mean when the King Crab's red spot is on (green - yellow - orange - red), its damage unusually increases.
Advice: You may needn't the Baby Hammer but you should really need to upgrade your 'boost' category if you choose this shark,
2. Sharkjira/Magmajira
+ Advantage: Big health. One of the easiest shark to 'end-game' with the Crab Boss as its boosting times was small (2-3 times)
- Disadvantage: Huge health drain and colossal body which makes it VERY easy to die. You may also get stuck eating the blob fishes.
Advice: Jira-Chan is required when fighting against the Crab Boss. As it reduces health drain and may also help you eat the blob fishes to help you survive and continue.
1. Alan, Destroyer of Worlds
+ Advantage: Thin and flexible, fast and high health.
- Disadvantage: Decent health drain.
Advice: If Alan Junior is equipped, you'll be a 'Crab Hunter' as you're almost impossible to die.
5. Big Daddy
You may not know why I put Big Daddy here. The reasons are below.
+ Advantage: Its head was hard and it deals massive dmg to the crab. Also, its health also helps a lot in fighting the crab.
- Disadvantage: Colossal body which makes him easily get snapped by the crab and also fast health drain.
General ranking: A
4. Kraken
A badass money grinder but massive health drain.
+ Advantage: It was quite an ideal choice for fighting the Crab Boss if paired with the Crab Fork. Also a cool tentacle drill.
- Disadvantage: Massive health drain making it more difficult to fight the boss. However, you can still survive by eating the blob fishes. It recovers your health back to 100% and respawns quite fast.
General ranking: S
3. Sharkjira/Magmajira
A destructive and marine form of the ancient Godzilla.
+ Advantage: Can kill the crab in an impressive amount of boosting times: 2-3 times! Also slower health drain than Kraken.
- Disadvantage: Although slower health drain than Kraken, it still has massive health drain. Also, its messy and colossal body size making it EXTREMELY hard to move in narrow places like the Crab Lair, also easier to get caught.
General ranking: A+
2. Great White Shark
This is quite shocking for you guys. But just see the reasons.
+ Advantage: Although takes quite a long time fighting, but Great White Shark has a quite small size which makes it easier to dodge the crab's deadly snap. Also very slow health drain but the blob fishes are there anyway.
- Disadvantage: Small hp which makes it easy to die for careless players.
General ranking: S+
1. Alan, Destroyer of Worlds
A thin, flexible shark, also very high speed.
+ Advantage: Very fast, which makes it very easy to dodge and also very thin. The health drain wasn't too big though.
- Disadvantage: None
General ranking: SSS+
