As of the latest patch they collect pearls when you bite them.

Best creauture in the game for silica pearls, but are week so will need a strong bodyguard

This is kind of horrific amd not the most humane thing, but here goes. You can get a few of these, breeds them, and kill the children for angler gel. Just saying 😶

P. E. A. R. L. S. That's all you need to know about this amazing creature.

Who thinks they should produce angler gel in their inventory over time like basilos and tusos

On mobile if you ride an itchyosaur anglers don't agro on you even if you attack them

On ASA go to bottom left of the map all the way to world border corner for loads of pearls

Level up melee to collect more pearls. Level up speed to outswim creatures.

How to Tame a Anglerfish:

-use a crossbow with enough tranq arrows (toxicant)

And ride a itchy to Not be attack.

-then go to the Deep sea and kill the rest of the creatures That you're surronding (except the Anglerfish)

-after you find it, Knock it then Feed it with prime meat or kibble and in case some biotoxin.

Then you got yourself a Anglerfish :0

Utility: the Anglerfish doesn't need a Saddle, you can ride freely but it will be more vulnerable to attacks.

The Anglerfish can harvest tons of Pearls and a bit of Blackpearl and it's good for going to caves for a better view and has decent damage.

Thanks for Reading.
