This prickly shark fights off attackers with its spikes.
 
— In-game description

Spike is a Tier S “shark” in Hungry Shark World. Spike is the first of the 5 "special sharks", along with Heidi (Wobbegong), Echo (Ichthyosaur),Drago (Pliosaur) and The Frenzy. Using his poison spikes (hence the name 'Spike'), he stuns small edibles and fights off attackers when you boost. He is purple in color with stripes like the Tiger Shark. He can be unlocked with 55 gems, or for 8,000 coins by leveling all your S sharks to their max level.

Pros and Cons[]

Pros:[]

  • 1. His ability helps him to repel predators; good for escaping in a tough situation.
  • 2. Can even stun XXL tier sharks including the Great White Shark.
  • 3. Pretty overpowered ability since he is able to stun any predator
  • 4. Can be used as a “quick buck” shark
  • 5. Rather easy to obtain.

Cons:[]

  • 1. He has a small diet
  • 2. Low health

Overall[]

Spike’s special ability makes him unique and outclasses other S sharks in all stats. However other sharks with stronger diets make this outclassed for advanced play.

However, to buy this is up to the buyer to buy this shark or not, otherwise Spike is a welcome addition to a player’s collection.

Trivia[]

  • Real-life Stethacanthus did not actually have stunning spikes and also had spikes on top of its head. They used these spikes to simulate the mouth of a larger fish so they could scare predators away, making Spike's ability semi-accurate to real life.
  • Stethacanthus isn’t a shark, it actually comes from Holocephali which contains the Helicoprion which is a Genus of another fish in the game, Buzz.
  • Despite being a S-tier shark Spike is a very good shark if you play right due to his ability to be almost invulnerable if you use it continuously.
  • He has an enemy counterpart (console edition only).
