Squalanana is a Brainrot God-tier unit in Steal A Brainrot. It was added to the game on October 4, 2025, and for a short time it was one of the more interesting high-end brainrots because of how it could be obtained. In general, Brainrot Gods are designed as long-term goals, and Squalanana fits that role well.
On paper, Squalanana has a listed cost of $45M and produces $250K per second. That puts it solidly in the late-game category. Most players won’t interact with it early on, and many newer players only hear about it long after it’s already gone.
What makes Squalanana different from many other Brainrot Gods is that it is currently unobtainable through normal gameplay. The fishing event that allowed players to get it was removed, which changed how people talk about and value this brainrot.
Squalanana has one of the more memorable designs in the game. It is essentially a shark combined with a banana. The body is bright yellow like a banana, while the dorsal fin and snout are brown, shaped like banana stems. The shark-like features are still obvious, especially in the head shape and posture.
In practice, most players recognize Squalanana immediately because it stands out even among other Brainrot Gods. Its design also places it in the Aquatic Index, which matters for collection tracking and completion-focused players.
From a practical standpoint, Squalanana’s main value is its income rate. Generating $250K per second, it’s strong but not game-breaking compared to other Brainrot Gods released around the same time. Usually, players who already have multiple high-tier brainrots see it as a steady earner rather than a must-have upgrade.
It does not have a ritual, which means there’s no extra activation or timing mechanic to manage. In general, that makes it simpler to use, especially for players who prefer passive income setups instead of ritual-heavy builds.
Because it’s unobtainable now, its power level matters less than its status. Most players who own one already have an established setup, so Squalanana tends to sit alongside other top-tier brainrots rather than defining a build on its own.
Originally, Squalanana could be obtained through specific systems like the Craft Machine and the Brainrot Trader. Later on, it became tied to a fishing event. That event was eventually deleted, which effectively removed Squalanana from normal circulation.
As of now, the only way it can appear is through admin-only fishing, which regular players don’t have access to. In general, when a brainrot becomes unobtainable like this, it shifts from being a progression target to a collector’s item.
Most players encountering Squalanana today do so through trading, screenshots, or older accounts that already had one before the event ended.
Yes, Squalanana did have a crafting recipe at one point. To craft it, players needed:
Squalanana Tralalero Tralala x2
Tipi Topi Taco x2
This recipe required multiple rare components, so even when it was available, most players didn’t craft it casually. Usually, crafting Squalanana was something done by players who already understood the economy and were planning ahead.
Since the systems that supported this recipe are no longer active for Squalanana, the recipe is more of a historical reference now than a usable path.
Squalanana also had a trading recipe:
Squalanana Tralalita Tralala x1
Jacko Jack Jack x1
In practice, this meant players had to already own high-value brainrots to trade up into Squalanana. Most trades involving it were negotiated carefully, since losing components like Jacko Jack Jack was a big decision.
Today, trading recipes still matter when discussing Squalanana’s value, because they give players a baseline idea of what it used to cost in terms of effort and rarity.
For most players, the honest answer is no. Since it’s unobtainable through normal gameplay, chasing Squalanana doesn’t make sense as a progression goal. In general, it’s better to focus on brainrots that are currently obtainable and fit your income strategy.
That said, some players are collectors. If you care about owning rare or retired brainrots, Squalanana has value simply because it can’t be earned anymore. This is usually a late-late-game concern, after income and efficiency stop being issues.
Some players look into external options to buy brainrots safely on U4N, but that’s a personal decision and not something required to enjoy or succeed in the game.
One common mistake is assuming Squalanana is overpowered just because it’s a Brainrot God. In reality, its income is strong but balanced for its tier.
Another mistake is thinking it will return soon. While events sometimes come back, most players treat unobtainable brainrots as permanently retired unless the developers say otherwise.
Finally, newer players sometimes fixate on Squalanana instead of learning core systems like income stacking, timing upgrades, and managing risk. In practice, those fundamentals matter much more than any single brainrot.
Among experienced players, Squalanana is usually seen as a retired luxury item. It’s respected, recognized, and occasionally flexed, but not central to modern gameplay strategies.
Most discussions about it happen in the context of game history, removed events, or trading value comparisons. It’s part of the game’s legacy rather than its current meta.
If you already own one, it’s a nice addition to your collection. If you don’t, you’re not missing out on anything essential.
Squalanana is a good example of how Steal A Brainrot evolves over time. Mechanics change, events disappear, and certain brainrots become snapshots of a specific era in the game.
In general, understanding Squalanana helps players understand how rarity, availability, and perceived value work in the game. But for day-to-day gameplay, focusing on what’s accessible now is usually the smarter path.
