The Sharktopus returns as the titular anti-hero in the two sequels Sharktopus vs. Pteracuda and Sharktopus vs. Whalewolf.
History[]
Sharktopus[]
The Sharktopus was genetically engineered by a private research company known as Blue Water as an experimental superweapon for the US Navy, by using the DNA of an octopus and a shark. The scientists were able to control its actions with an electrical impulse collar. Before it makes it back to the headquarters, Commander Cox orders Nathan and Nicole to test the Sharktopus by moving it into a nearby speedboat. However, as the Sharktopus closes in on the boat, the boat makes a turn and accidentally destroys the electrical impulse collar and is removed by the Sharktopus, who goes on a rampage.
It then escapes to Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco in the country of Mexico, where it continues its spree of killing people. After killing its creator, Nathan Sands, it is destroyed when Nicole activates its kill switch and explodes to its death just before it has time to kill Andy.
Sharktopus vs. Pteracuda[]
In the opening of Sharktopus vs. Pteracuda, the Sharktopus first appears in a flashback where it is killing its victims in the first movie and explodes, leaving behind an eggsack which washed away into the sea. Later, marine biologist Lorena Christmas finds said eggsack that contains an infant Sharktopus. She begins raising it at her greedy uncle's aquarium to mixed success. After it escaped, it started killing until it encounters another hybrid called the Pteracuda. Throughout the movie, they kill people and fight each other. The military plans to kill the Sharktopus and the Pteracuda with a bomb, but the plan only succeeded in killing the latter while the former retreats at the last possible second.
Sharktopus vs. Whalewolf[]
The Sharktopus was still at large following the events of Sharktopus vs. Pteracuda, eating swimmers and fishermen along the Dominican Republic shores. As it continues causing havoc, Ray and Pablo are enlisted by voodoo priest Tiny to chase after the Sharktopus and obtain the creature's heart. Meanwhile, mad scientist Dr. Reinhart mixes the genes of a killer whale and a gray wolf to mutate Felix Rose, an aging baseball player, into a hybrid called the Whalewolf. It escapes its containment and begins a man-eating spree, occasionally battling against the Sharktopus. At the baseball stadium, the Whalewolf ultimately defeats the Sharktopus by tossing it into a billboard, electrocuting it to death. However, at the end of the film, having collected the creature's heart, Tiny conducts a ritual that creates a new Sharktopus.
