Anglerfish are high-level danger enemy fish in Hungry Shark Evolution and Hungry Shark World. The fish is edible to all sharks within the game; other than the Reef Shark, who is the only shark who can't eat them. A bite from this deadly fish distributes exactly 30 units[1] of damage to your shark's health, and can even harm the Megalodon, Big Daddy, and the other strong sharks such as Mr. Snappy (HSE), Alan, Destroyer of Worlds, Moby Dick etc. There is a medium-level reward for killing them. Eating 10 of these fish causes you to complete the mission Angler Attack.

Description[]

Anglerfish are well hidden creatures, dwelling in deep, dark areas of the ocean. Anglerfish are not very dangerous on their own, and are more lethal in numbers. However, they always spawn in large numbers, so they can always kill your shark with ease. They are aggressive and will attack your shark if it gets into their range. Angler Fish attack by biting on your shark, and can be dangerous to large sharks such as Megalodon and even higher, as many can attack at the same time. You can eat them with mako shark or above.

Location[]

Angler Nest

The anglerfish is generally located in a spot just below the crab lair; which is exactly south-west of the Hammerhead Shark's spawning area, their place of residence is in an area dubbed "Angler Nest." They can also be found near the entrance to the Kempy Cave, which is in the deepest section of the map, on the far right and in the Western Sea near the Wakaba (a sunken treasure). In this last location, they spawn bigger than usual. Except for those two places that two anglers can be found a bit shoaler than zone of Pink Jellyfish which are located at left from Death Tunnel.

  • In real life, angler fish are far less aggressive, and lure prey with their glowing appendage.
  • In the game, Angler Fish remain attached to your shark briefly after they strike like the Seal Pup.
  • In real life, male Anglerfish are tiny, and attach to the larger females until they fuse with her.
  • The Anglerfish's model could be based on the species called the Black Devil Anglerfish.
