Snaggletooth Shark

The Snaggletooth Shark, also known as the Fossil Shark is a weasel shark build and member of the ground shark guild. They are playable in the Indian Ocean, the Red Sea, the western central Pacific Ocean and Northwest Pacific Ocean servers, specifically in coastal areas inshore and offshore of continnental and insular shelves. However, a much more powerful version of this build was once playable.

## Overview

The build has decent Mobility, allowing it to catch other players. Their combination of gripping teeth and cutting teeth also gives them a good Power stat for their size. It has an average Health stat, maxing around at 250 kg.

## Moveset

**Snaggle Bite (Active, Attack)**- An attack that inflicts [Heavy Bleed] and at the same time, makes a grab that is difficult to break free from.

**Electroreception (Passive, Utility)**- Motion shown on minimap.

**Bloodsense (Passive, Utility)**- Builds with less than 90% HP lose all Stealth boosts.

## Tier Placement

B-tier. Just a regular fish-griefing Shark build, nothing special. It does not seem to do much in the meta to rank much higher. Not much of it is known, as it is rarely encountered by the playerbase.

## Hemipristis Serra

Hemipristis serra is a banned weasel shark build playable during the Miocene. Unlike playable snaggletooth sharks, this build is a much more powerful build playable in the Atlantic Ocean. It is banned around 1.1 million years ago and was a contemporary of the noobs of the OP Megalodon build.

## Classification

### Overview

This build is much larger than playable snaggletooth sharks, thus having a higher Health stat. Its teeth also scale with its size, resulting in a higher Power stat. It likely had a similar Mobility stat to playable snaggletooth sharks.

### Moveset

Likely the same as playable Snaggletooth Shark builds.

**Snaggle Bite (Active, Attack)**- An attack that inflicts the [Heavy Bleed] debuff and at the same time, makes a grab that is difficult to break from.

**Electroreception (Passive, Utility)**- Motion shown on minimap.

**Bloodsense (Passive, Utility)**- Builds with less than 90% of HP lose all Stealth bonuses.

### Tier Placement

Low A-tier. This build is very formidable, especially in its coastal servers It can body builds like Manatees and Megalodon noobs whose late-game makes them one of the most OP builds in the entire history of the meta.
