The Sharkeleon is the seventh Top Secret Lab shark to be unlocked in Hungry Shark Evolution. He was added to the game in June 2018. His special power is mimic. According to FGOL's social media, this Sharkeleon is called Franz.

Cost

The Sharkeleon can only be viewed when the Top Secret Lab is unlocked with a high score of at least 350,000. Once an additional score prerequisite is met (scoring 750,000 points), he costs 180,000 coins or 900 gems to purchase, which is a regular price for one of the newest Top Secret Lab sharks.

Abilities and Diet

The Sharkeleon is a pretty decent shark that begins every game at a medium size (about a Tiger Shark's). He grows rapidly, but growth is not saved. When the Sharkeleon eats a hostile special shark, he can steal its ability. Abilities can be stolen from the Ice Shark, Pyro Shark and Electro Shark this way. They also spawn much more often and, in more places, than usual. The ability to steal other special abilities is called mimic. Stolen abilities will wear off after about a minute.

Franz just ate an enemy Electro Shark…

The Sharkeleon has a health bar that’s competitive with the health bar of the best sharks in the game. However, the boost bar is similar to the Great White Shark's.

The Sharkeleon can’t consume mines or extremely big enemy sharks (Moby Dick and higher). However, he can destroy vehicles and eat jellyfish right from the very start. When he hasn’t stolen an ability, he can camouflage to become invisible for when near a special shark, being able to sneak up on them without being noticed by the special sharks and the enemies around them.

The Sharkeleon is a very powerful Special Shark, one of the most recommended and versatile Specials alongside the Ghost Shark and Wereshark. But, like the two aforementioned, is not as OP as Fin, Finn n Finny and Howrsea.

Trivia

• When Sharkeleon came out, the Arctic Land was replaced with the Titanic.
• Sharkeleon can eat bigger enemy sharks, such as Alan, Destroyer of Worlds.
• In some promotional artworks, his teeth look like graffiti for some reason. His model in-game however has normal teeth.
• In a promotional video, Sharkeleon can be seen stealing the abilities of Pyro Shark and Ice Shark with his tongue, but accidentally sticks to and crashes into Moby Dick, missing Electro Shark. This is shown in-game with Sharkeleon being unable to eat Moby Dick and larger.
