Big Daddy), the Mosasaurus (Mr. Snappy), Alan, [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Destroyer of Worlds]] (a bio-engineered alien shark), Literature/MobyDick, and Liopleurodon.

''[[https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fgol.HungrySharkEvolution&hl=en Hungry Shark: Evolution]]'' is a Creator/FutureGamesOfLondon (acquired by Creator/{{Ubisoft}} in 2013) game for Android and iOS, released on October 18th, 2012. A sequel to a trilogy of mobile games released between 2009 and 2011, the game enables the player to control various sharks (as opposed to the single playable shark of its predecessors), starting with a reef shark, which you must level up to reach the next shark by eating everything you can. The game likewise expands on its predecessors through featuring two in-game currencies (gold coins and more sporadically-obtained gems), which can be used to upgrade the abilities of the player's sharks and purchase items (including clothing, machinery and "baby" sharks) with special bonuses and abilities in the shop. You can also buy special sharks any time after you score 350,000 points in one game. These sharks cannot be upgraded and don't retain their levels (though they level much faster to compensate), and have special abilities that set them apart from normal sharks. Most sharks (save for the mako and tiger sharks) also appear in-game as enemy sharks, although they are much less powerful than your own shark of the same type. Every time you earn a specific amount of points, variable for each shark in-game, you will enter a Gold Rush for a brief time, which makes you NighInvulnerable, turns all creatures to gold, and prevents your health and boost from draining. A sequel titled ''VideoGame/HungrySharkWorld'' was released in Oceania on December 14, 2015 and in the rest of the world on May 4, 2016.

* AnimalMecha: The special shark, Robo Shark. Special abilities include jet thrusters for fins, a propeller tail, and the ability to eat and store small mines and relaunch them at enemies. Destroying creatures with mines functionally eats them.
* AwesomeButImpractical: The special sharks are fun, but have several drawbacks. Their special abilities often negate their boost speed, they're more vulnerable to certain enemies like the submarines because of their missing boost, and they don't retain their levels over multiple games (though they level up much faster to compensate).

* ShockAndAwe: The electric shark, which stuns smalm enough nearby prey while boosting.
