| “ | A heavy duty shark with the widest mouth | ” |
— In-game description.
|
The Basking Shark is one of the many sharks added into Hungry Shark World and is one of the 4 XXL tier sharks in the game alongside The Frenzy, the Great White Shark, and the Whale Shark. Since it has a very wide mouth, it can be used to offensively rampage through many creatures in the water, as well as out of water.
Pros and Cons[]
Pros:[]
- Very large mouth capable of eating large amounts of fish at once
- Very large diet and high health
- Can maneuver on land quite well
- Reasonable speed
Cons:[]
- It has the lowest speed in the class XXL
- Can get stuck in tight spaces, like the Swimming Pool
- Large size makes it hard to avoid mines, pink and red jellyfish, volcano jets and toxic barrels
- Very expensive and takes a long time to unlock and upgrade
- Upgrades cost lots of coins
- Even though it has a big mouth, it does not have a stronger bite than the Whale Shark or Great White Shark, probably due to having very small teeth.
