Terrorshark

How to get it

It has a chance to appear whenever you're between Sea Danger Levels 2 and 6 in the Third Sea. You don't even need to be sailing - it can spawn in a radius around a stationary boat. You spot it by three signs that appear together: a large health bar at the top of the screen, the screen darkening, and the music changing.

How It Appears and Behaves

• Spawn Range: Sea Danger Level 2 to 6, in the Third Sea.
• The higher the Danger Level, the stronger and harder it becomes to kill. The Fandom advises against going above level 5, where Terrorsharks are already very powerful.
• Raising the Danger Level doesn't increase its HP - it simply brings more Sharks with it and hits harder.
• It's nearly impossible to shake off. Only fast fruits like Light or a boat like The Sentinel can sometimes outrun it.
• Multiple Terrorsharks can appear at the same time. Combat becomes significantly harder: they attack one after another without downtime, and the splash can stun lock you until death or the end of their combo.

• If you're sitting in a boat seat, its splash will eventually eject you.

Anchored Terrorshark and the Shark Anchor

Anchored Terrorshark is a special version that has a chance to appear if the player piloting the boat has a Monster Magnet.

• When the Monster Magnet is consumed during an encounter, it displays: "Your <Monster Magnet> has attracted an irregular beast...".
• If the Magnet was properly used and the shark displays 195,000 HP, its holder has a 100% chance to obtain the Shark Anchor after defeating it.
• Only the player whose Monster Magnet was consumed can obtain the Shark Anchor.
• If multiple players have a Monster Magnet when a Terrorshark appears, only one leaves with the anchor, but the other players' Magnets are not consumed.

What It Drops

Guaranteed Drops: - 1 Level - 20,000 to 25,000 Beli - 300 Fragments - 1,000 Valor - Mutant Tooth

Possible Drop: - Terror Eyes

Other Drop: - Shark Anchor, only if it consumed a Monster Magnet, and only for the relevant player.

Its Attacks

Attack	What It Does
Typhoon Splash	It leaps out of the water, pulls all nearby players toward it, then crashes back down in a water surge. The move breaks Instinct, deals massive damage, and knocks you far back. It uses it at close range and you can't trick it with Instinct. The explosion resembles the [Z] Typhoon Toss of the Shark Anchor, but larger with more effective pulling.
Squalus Dance	When you get close enough, it chains tail strikes that send you back into the sea. It uses this especially if you're swimming or getting too close. Very dangerous facing a group of Terrorsharks, who can spam it and completely prevent you from keeping your distance. Resembles the [X] of the Shark Anchor, with much larger area of effect.
Super Charge	It charges at very high speed toward a player and triggers an explosion on impact. Unlike its other attacks, this one has no equivalent on the Shark Anchor weapon.

How to Defeat It

The Basics: - Dash backward and spam M1s - you'll hit it while it struggles to reach you. - Going in a group spreads out the damage from its bites, lets you overwhelm it, and limits the effectiveness of its super splash. - Shark race V2, V3, or V4 is highly recommended - Terrorshark can send you underwater and drown you. V3 and V4 avoid cheap deaths, and the Leviathan's Armor ability from Race Awakening saves you from enormous damage. Both stack very well. - Race Awakening in general is strongly advised, simply because you survive longer.

Strategies That Work: - Angel V4: stay airborne well above it (hold jump) and spam Magma attacks from above. Devastating when multiple Terrorsharks appear. - Angel V3 with Heavenly Blood, plus Lei or Leviathan Crown equipped: healing becomes huge and keeps you alive. - Awakened Magma: go airborne with a mobility move then spam Z (holding), V, and C. None of its attacks hit you if you're high enough, making it soloable. Use a sword or fighting style that can propel you upward, like Godhuman's Z and C, to maintain altitude. - Buddha: M1s hit both the Terrorshark and surrounding Sharks at the same time, plus you get massive damage reduction and water immunity once awakened, preventing drowning. You can also take shelter behind your boat and hit it from range. Climb a rock in awakened form - it can then barely use anything but its pull attack. Always take the boat with the most HP possible, it helps with other Sea Events too. - Mammoth: one of the best fruits for shark hunting thanks to the transformation's F move that lets you escape, very useful for solo Shark Anchor hunting. Downside: its damage is weak. - Blizzard: good alternative for Sea Events thanks to its large area of effect and solid range, but hard to play solo since you need to stay close. - Awakened Phoenix: fly above it and let passive damage do the work. Bonus: you can emergency heal teammates. - Love: Z and X abilities used in flight work very well against it. - Soul Guitar: its two moves can stun it, buying you time. - Gas: its M1s can stun Terrorshark in a loop, making it one of the best fruits for hunting it. - Leviathan Crown: 35% extra damage on Sea Events, plus a healing bonus.

How to Avoid It While Hunting Something Else: - Hunting Leviathan without a Portal player: if a Terrorshark appears, everyone not piloting jumps off to fight it while one player sails the boat away, which the shark can target. - With a Portal player: Portal's [V] move prevents Terrorshark from touching you - it eventually disappears and you resume your hunt peacefully. - With Kitsune: use the transformation's [V] and run in a straight line away from your boat until the Terrorsharks disappear, then return. Pilot Helmet increases your chances of escape, as do speed passives from Human, Rabbit, Shark, or Ghoul V2.

Did You Know?

• Players often abbreviate it as "TS," and its Anchored version is nicknamed "Anchorshark".
• It can appear in multiple colors: red, green, blue, and gray.
• It uses the Terror Jaw model, but much larger.

• It can disappear if you leave its zone. As long as it's chasing you and taking close-range damage, it stays. If you run far enough, it even has a chance to get stuck somewhere.
• You can camp in the air with ranged attacks and kill any number of Terrorsharks without taking any damage.
• Terrorshark can growl. In testing, you only hear it when its music stops after you leave its zone - it also trembles while growling.
• There's a small chance to craft a Monster Magnet while already owning a Shark Anchor. In that case, the mastery, enchantments, and moves of your current Shark Anchor don't completely disappear, but they're also not recoverable on a future Anchored Terrorshark.
• It's one of the most hated Sea Events in the game: it interrupts hunts at Kitsune Island, Prehistoric Island, or Frozen Dimension, and constantly ejects you from the boat.
