They have a built in distress call, so if you attack it'll yell for help and like Every Single Ocean Creature will run to the rescue.

To the ammonites rescue, not to yours.

You need friends?

Your'e lonely?

Just hit one of these and you will have lots of friends

If you want loads of xp then you should punch it and kill everything that comes after you

I’m not entirely sure if this theory can be considered canon, but I think that the ammonite uses the pheromones as a psychological convincer to any random creature to defend it.

That’s just a theory, a GAME THEORY!!!

You touch the spaghetti, le spaghetti will not forghetti that you toucha the important ammonetti

Basically the equivalent of the chicken in Skyrim, you hit it be ready for a big fight with the town

It says it’s early game. I’ll go fight it with my cloth armor and spear now💀

Ever met a cry baby?..This guy will wail if you hit it and will cover you in a type of pheromone gas....causing you to attract every dino, sea or land, to bite your butt. Prepare for war. You only need to survive 80sec.

Let me explain how sensitive these things are. If you get close, or hit them once, they will call their 'besties'.

And their besties?

The. Entire. Ocean.

This thing is a crybaby. Hit it, and it'll go blubbering to all its friends. Exactly who are its friends? The whole ocean.
