The Hammerhead Shark is a male shark that debuted first in Hungry Shark: Night as a premium purchase. In Hungry Shark Evolution, he is the third standard shark to be unlocked. He can reach up to 5.6 meters long and dive deep at 200 meters.
Appearance[]
The Hammerhead Shark has a distinctive hammer-shaped head with eyes extending to the sides with a notably light brown colored body and a white underside.
Description[]
The Hammerhead Shark, though moderately strong, has the ability to consume a wide variety of prey. His diet permits him in eating lionfish and other hammerheads in addition to what the Mako Shark typically consumes. Even at level one, the hammerhead's bite proves to be effective, he can take down most prey in under a second. His meal choices afford advantages against usual enemies outside deep waters. An extensive boost meter further aids hunting, letting him handily handle the first two giant crabs while the third and fourth may test his limits. His gape facilitates swallowing many organisms in a single motion, like several fish or stingrays.
