“ | This shark's beam can melt the moon! | ” |
— In game description
|
The Dark Magic Shark (abbreviated as DMS) is the ninth and penultimate !! shark in Hungry Shark World. After collecting 200 runes he can be purchased with 750,000 coins, or 1500 gems.
Abilities and Diet[]
"This shark absorbs damage and shoots it back at the enemy as a laser beam that can destroy nearly anything." (Despite this in-game description, the laser beam charges from eating rather than absorbing damage). Like every other !! shark, he can equip up to 3 pets at a time and can break purple crystalline walls. During gold rush, his points multiplier is 8X.
The shark has a button that charges up in a circle if you eat food, and once the button fully charges up, he will glow. Pressing that button activates lasers from his eyes for about 3 seconds, and they destroy everything in his path. (including barriers and other things that normally need boosting) Note that these lasers need to be focused on something for a split second before destroying it.
During a gold rush, the lasers fire continuously. All creatures and objects can be "eaten" by the lasers which effectively makes each normal gold rush equivalent to a mega gold rush without the 3x gold bonus. The laser also gives coins, so there is no need to worry about loss of coins when using this shark.
The Dark Magic Shark can technically eat everything because of the laser, but the colossal squid boss’s tentacles cannot be eaten with the laser. Without the laser, he can't eat red jellyfish and king jellyfish, proximity mines, mega mines, and ultra mines. He's overpowered.
Pros and Cons[]
Pros:[]
- Shoots a laser which destroys any creature or object it touches.
- A good grinding shark for gems since his laser can destroy practically everything making it easy to get hidden gems in prey you can’t normally eat (Such as Red Jellyfish and Lion Jellyfish).
- Small size for a !! shark. Can fit into tight spaces.
- Regains his ability quickly (Depending on what you eat)
- Debated as the fourth strongest shark in the game (Being behind Mecha Sharkjira, Shin Sharkjira and Cosmic Alan). And depending on who you ask, sometimes behind Meltdown Shark or Alpha Zombie Shark.
- Can get gold rush incredibly easily.
- Can get a very high score in a short amount of time.
- Gold rush is just like Mega gold rush, without the 3x coin bonus.
- Can get gold at an incredibly fast rate.
- Can just activate his laser and swim (or fly if you have a jetpack) around to destroy all nearby prey (although you can get lucky to instantly get a gold or mega gold rush if there are large prey around).
Cons:[]
- High cost like other high-tier sharks.
- Lackluster stats (although compensated for his powerful laser beam)
- Health increases very slowly when upgraded.
- Small mouth, resulting in not always being able to eat as much in one go as other !! sharks and the tentacles of the Colossal Squid.
- Lowest health out of all the !! sharks.
- He was nerfed in the Shin Sharkjira update, removing the 2x points from his laser.
Tips[]
- Use your Laser Beam ability when in danger (Like near bombs, red jellyfish, and pollution) to gain back health quickly and possibly a gold rush or a mega gold rush!

Trivia[]
- His skin is Baldr, who is an ancient god.
- He has rune symbols on him, which spell out "Protect Shark"
- Baldr also has some rune symbols, but those haven't been translated yet.
- He eats enemy sharks quicker than other !! Sharks, even though he has a lower bite than most of the !! Tier sharks.
- He was originally the last !! Tier shark counting APEX Sharks from Ancient to Abyssal, the now recent !! Tier shark is a powerful and unlockable Force of Nature, Gaia.
- According to comics, it was confirmed/revealed that Dark Magic Shark was originally a Thresher Shark who got lured to an ancient book that he was destined to accidentally find, being into one of Abyssal Shark's kind.
- A newer comic states that Dark Magic Shark was a shark who got turned into his current self by Abyssal Shark. As they are conflicting, it is unknown if the original comic was retconned or something else.
