- "With the spirit of a shark~Jungle Fury Shark Ranger!"
- ―roll call[src]
The Shark Ranger transforms from the Shark Animal Spirit. It can be used by Master Finn as a secondary body, or by being summoned by Red Ranger into battle.
The Shark Ranger is one of the Spirit Rangers created by the Phantom Beasts using Master Finn's power. He appears in Jungle Master Mode and uses the Shark Sabers.
As an Animal Spirit
Master Finn's animal spirit is the shark. Like RJ's Wolf Animal Spirit it can be used formless or with a shark form. Casey, being personally trained by Master Finn, was able to master the Shark as his second spirit and soon was able to call on it as a zord.
As a Spirit Ranger
Master Finn Fighting alongside the Shark Spirit Ranger
In his first appearance, he battles the Jungle Fury Rangers with the other Spirit Rangers under the control of the Phantom Beasts. Later on, RJ figures out how to jam the frequencies that connect the Masters to the Spirit Rangers and is able to dissipate the spirits. RJ would also modify the claw cannon to hold the spirits of the Elephant, Bat and Shark Animal Spirits and uses it to cancel out the spirit of the Shark Spirit Ranger, which traps Master Finn inside one of the Crystal Eyes. Flit salvages the eye after a Phantom Beast attempts to throw it in the sea and brings it to RJ. Soon after, all the masters are rescued and the Spirit Rangers they control fight alongside the Jungle Fury Rangers. The masters then let the rangers take control of the Spirit Rangers, which they summon into battle in pinch situations.
His Shark fighting style is more evident than when the Red Ranger uses it. In addition to using the Shark Sabers, it is evident that the Shark Ranger uses graceful 'swimming' movements and shark-styled jabbing actions. His finishing moves involve him surfing through water and using its velocity to charge at the opponent with Shark Sabers.
The Shark Ranger did not participate in the Legendary Battle due to being PR-exclusive and so not in the Gokaiger footage.

Shark Animal Spirit (Zord Form)
A shark Animal Spirit/Roar Max Zord. It jabs opponents much like an actual shark. When Casey was able to master the Shark's power, he was able to summon it as a zord. It separated into several pieces to combine with either of the rangers' Megazords.
Megazord Combinations
Jungle Pride Megazord with Shark Power
The Shark combines with the the Jungle Pride Megazord to provide top-body armor that allows the zord to do a drilling attack on its opponent.
Jungle Master Megazord with Shark Power
The Shark combines with the the Jungle Master Megazord, to provide top-body armor that allows the zord to do a arm blade attacks.
Notes
Shark Ranger basic figure
- The Jungle Spirit Rangers' designs were produced by PLEX for Power Rangers.
- Initially Bandai America released toys of them that seemingly served as counterparts to the Roar Max Zords. The comic that goes with the figures states that the Masters were Rangers 20 years ago and are now inhabiting beast bodies. In the comic, they are now training the Jungle Fury Rangers in place of their masters in the show. Months after the toy release, Terebi Kun, a Japanese magazine, published photos in two consecutive issues with all three rangers in Jungle Master Mode outfits. Soon, the summaries that support the photos appeared, beginning with those for Fear and the Phantoms.
