Sharpedo's body is torpedo shaped, much like the head and trunk section of a real shark. Its body is covered in tiny, sharp denticles which create hydrodynamic advantages by reducing turbulence when swimming, as well as causing damage to foes to that attack it with physical moves. Sharpedo is coloured blue with a white underbelly. The yellow star marking it had as a Carvanha has migrated to its snout. Another star marking is on its rear. Sharpedo has a tall dorsal fin with two notches cut into it, with a pelvic fin directly opposite it, and the two pectoral fins arranged so that they resemble the fins on the back of a torpedo. Sharpedo's eyes are a deep red colour and give off a light red glow in the dark. It has two gill slits situated directly behind each eye.
