Sharks Evolved
Create Varying Tiers of Sharks, Scale them up in size and make the next one hit harder than the last.
Description

Replaces vanilla sharks with custom tiers. When a shark spawns, it rolls a chance to become one of your configured tiers, they can be bigger with more health and attack damage, with its own loot table, you can even make them deal explosion damage when being teased for too long.

Upon death, the shark will drop a bouyant crate with loot in it.

Marker Manager loaded will display the sharks position.

Admin Commands

/convertshark - convert a wild shark to a random tier
/convertshark Megalodon - force a specific tier
/convertshark 3 - convert 3 sharks randomly
/convertshark Megalodon 2 - convert 2 sharks to Megalodon

Megalodon is an example, you can replace this with your own.

This works in console as well.

Chat Command needs sharksevolved.admin
