: Adapt 1. (If this creature has no +1/+1 counters on it, put a +1/+1 counter on it.)
Whenever one or more +1/+1 counters are put on Sharktocrab, tap target creature an opponent controls. That creature doesn’t untap during its controller’s next untap step.
Sharktocrab's triggered ability can target a creature that's already tapped. That creature won't untap during its controller's next untap step.

If a creature somehow loses all of its +1/+1 counters, it can adapt again and get more +1/+1 counters.
