"The Shar-Khan is a very aggressive and territorial felin-... I mean, shark. They have even deadlier jaws and teeth, and won't back off when facing bigger enemies!"

Shar-khan's main ability which stuns prey in a circle formation right in front of itself (can be activated by pressing the button in the bottom right).



  • Knockout: Triggered by pressing the ability button, or as of now can be activated by boosting. It has a wider range than the first ability, allowing it to knock out prey in a larger radius. It can also disable and decelerate torpedoes from Mini Subs, as well as stun larger enemies, causing them to circle around for an extended period when used repeatedly.

Appearance[]

Shar-Khan resembles a real-life tiger, with orange skin and black stripes, in the shape of a shark. Its fin anatomy is stylized, featuring four dorsal fins and other unique characteristics. Decorations around Shar-Khan's head resemble the mane of a Chinese guardian lion. Its appearance bears a bit resemblance to the Tiger Shark and the Atomic Shark from Hungry Shark World.

Pros & Cons[]

Pros[]

  • Lots of Health (330 HP).
  • Has a diet as strong as Big Daddy
  • Low cost to upgrade stats.
  • Can upgrade many times.
  • Can survive an attack from larger sharks like Nessie.
  • Button ability stuns all prey on screen (ability even stronger with Sharkveillance).
  • Button ability also stuns larger and stronger sharks like Luminite.
  • Small ability also stuns larger and stronger sharks like Luminite.
  • Faster than DarkHammer.

Cons[]

  • Does not eat much and does not gain many points.
  • Roar abilities are not very useful.
  • Cannot stun bigger enemies with special abilities.
  • Boost roar prevents the shark to eat prey, losing multiplier and points.
  • Small bite range.
  • Often stuns prey but doesn't eat it.
  • Weaker abilities than DarkHammer.
  • Cannot break walls in Gold Rush, unlike DarkHammer.
  • More than 2 times as expensive as DarkHammer, and not as good.
  • Not as good as DarkHammer in gold rush: getting coins and points.
  • Overall outclassed by DarkHammer.

Tips[]

  • In the early game, whatever you do, do not buy this Evolution unless you are a collector. It is the worst Evolved shark by a large margin. Also, DarkHammer, who is much cheaper, is a much better shark. So, get him instead.
  • Do not use the Knockout Ability while you're boosting, it will stop you from unleashing the amount of stun it will do. (It also might be a bug. And yes this tip is outdated, the shark seems to be broken for now)

Trivia[]

  • Shar-Khan is the first shark to be unveiled in the second set of the Evolved Sharks update, which was shown evolving with yellow water in the background of the image.
  • On June 14, 2021, there was a discount & event based around Shar-Khan which took place before the update containing Shar-Khan was released or acknowledged by the developers. In a way, this event was somewhat unfair.
  • Shar-Khan is named after Shere Khan, the main antagonist of Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book.
  • Shar-Khan might be a Tiger Shark with real tiger DNA. There's a possibility that it also has a few Smilodon DNA, which is an extinct species of the Felidae. One piece of evidence is that it's called the "Saber Tooth Shark," and Smilodon is known as the Saber Toothed Tiger.
  • Shar-khan has DarkHammer in its “Eats" section despite Enemy DarkHammers not existing. This is also true for Aaron, the Destruktor for the evolution that precedes it, being Lord Snappy.
  • Like DarkHammer. Shar-Khan's jetpack is a little too large.
