Btw these guys do NOT care if you are on land or not they will grab you if you are to close to the water

these things can grab you and carry you around till your dead… *sniff* learnt that the hard way.

Beware all who dare cross these nasty sardines and live to tell the tale. If ye be dumb and cross these ungodly creatures of the sea. Ye be warned all tamed beasties shall die a most horrible death and ye along with it for it shall send all who tread tbeyre water's to Davy Jones locker. If by some miracle ye wishes to capture this beast build a trap and lure it in with something fast. Do not tame with a club. Use trank arrows, darts or harpoon. Forget saving ure lure. Or it be the locker for you!

Believe it or not, this creature can go on LAND

These things are already one of the fastest water creatures which is already bad enough, but they also come in groups, maybe to like 3 or 4. Also they have the bleed effect, the bleed effect takes 5% of your health, doesn’t seem like alot but 5% is a whole lot. learned the hard way :(

Hesperornis and icthyornis of any level will deal max damage against xiphactinus and 1 hit it.

Beware if this when you get brave and jump out of water to attack birds...

RIP 145 xiphactinus...

You can tame these without a trap. Use a tanky mount (I used a high level Deinosuchus), single out the one you want to tame, and bring plenty of Tranqs, a crossbow, and preferably a SCUBA tank. You can shoot off of your mount to knock it out. When its torpor starts to rise it will not attempt to flee which is helpful in the taming process. Note: MAKE SURE you single out the one you want out, if there is more than one you and your mount will get absolutely shredded.

Took a couple of these groups out with my lvl 104 archelon last night. Last group almost took e out but survived.

Don’t go close to them. Please pray for my dead frog. :(

Just a reminder they are officially in the game.I learned that the hard way…
