The moonshark is utter OP nonsense.

[Lord Of Dorkness]

Heavy resistance to physical attacks? Check.
A telekinetic shotgun using moonrocks? Chec.
Massive bleed chance on EVERY attack, meaning you can't even run from the twit without killing yourself? Check.

...

SPAWNS IN THE SECOND DAMN AREA, AND KEEPS RESPAWNING.

...Check.

I mean, even freakin' NetHack has checks so it doesn't spawn an elder dragon on level one EVERY time. This is just... What were you guys even thinking?

[Hal]

well, it's easily avoided since its blind and only attacks you if you disturb the sand.
it's weak to psychic attacks and the psychostatic cutter absolutely obliterates it.
Stunlocks it to death...easy as killing a mimic.
Also I dont think anything respawns if you keep the corruption on the same level (which I find kinda breaks the game in how cheap and easy it is to manufacture...)

[Shakaka]

moonshark is easy to kill. just git gud

[Hal]

to be fair, fighting it head on without any psychic abilities or turrets can be pretty harsh...I'd like to see someone beat it with only a regular wrench..maybe it can be done, but its prolly not easy or free of cheese

I've killed moonshark with every character on corruption 3+. The hardest one to kill it with is the Mechanic, because she doesn't really have any way to kill it if theres a dust storm. Soldier can do it easily with one-two upgrades to weapon damage and a shotgun. Volunteer just use kinetic burst. Riley just use Mindshock. Janitor? Not spoiling :D

[Torritorr - TTV]

Expirament with your builds. Moonsharks are easy. Wait till you get to a point where Nightmares can spawn. The base game cheese won't always be available, and you may have to fight moonsharks and Nightmares at the exact same time.

The psycho cutter wrecks the moonshark, when you unlock it just start with it on every character and wreck it easy.

[Clockwork]

The easiest way ive found to kill moonsharks is tentacle grenades

+1 This. Even at corruption 3 psychostatic cutter is still incredibly effective.

Minor Spoiler regarding the cutter below:

Furthermore you're guaranteed at least one cutter every seed if you go by Pytheas Labs.

Agreed. This enemy is ruining this game. 'Just walk on the rocks' doesn't work for me. at all.

Fast run (and jump)?

[Ritual Magick Lad]

RIGHT
I just spent around 2 hours getting the psi-knife from the labs to kill the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Moonshark, I attacked him at full health, with health packs, wiith the psi-knife and was killed instantaneously by him. I am done 100% with this game. Please nerf this creature in an update ASAP

[Eelectrica]

It's easy. You can also hide in the entrance. The spore also wrecks the Moonshark.

[Frosty]

Q-Beam works okay if you have plenty of ammo, just have to side-step his assaults.

What I find BS is that his rocks actually curve/snap to target in mid-air sometimes when you're side-stepping/jetpacking which is frustrating.

Honestly Moonsharks have been an annoyance.
