- What kind of creature is it? -

The anglerfish is a predatory and aggressive fish that lives on the bottom of the water. Its bulb emits a weak light, which attracts other anglers. It's small and has low health, so it's easy to kill it with any underwater creature. (However, without a tamed underwater creature, it can be problematic.)

There are two types of anglerfish:

Normal anglerfish

Aberrant anglerfish (found on the Aberration map)

- How to tame it? -

Since the anglerfish lives in the depths, it can only be knocked out with a crossbow equipped with tranq arrows. For an easy stun, you can bring along an underwater creature with high health and set it to passive. While the anglerfish is biting your creature, you gradually stun it (slowly, because if you shoot at it too often, you can accidentally kill it). After stunning it, place mutton in its inventory (or feed it if you have it) and wait for it to tame. I recommend taking plenty of drugs, as the stun fades quickly.

- Usefulness -

The anglerfish is an excellent pearl gatherer. Although it's small, you can craft a saddle and ride it in the water. The anglerfish collects 5★ worth of pearls, making it an excellent source of this resource, essential for crafting many items. It also has a lamp that can be used to attract other anglers and farm anglerfish gel. It's not ideal for traveling, so use it for pearl gathering. (You can also ride an anglerfish without a saddle, which makes resource consumption easier.)

- Loot -

The anglerfish's loot is meager, but it does provide resources for crafting some items.

Raw fish (meat)

Anglerfish gel (that's the resource)

- Controls -

I tamed an anglerfish, but it was a long time ago, so I only know this:

Bite - LMB

Most likely, either RMB or C lights up the anglerfish's light.
