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!!!

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

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.

Belle Delphine and her army of SIMPS!

Guess how I found out there was a 105 Tusoteuthis in the water with me....

Don't hit them. Just... dont't

Ammonite is passive, and when you hit it, you (or your mounted tame) will get the Buff/Debuff "Rage" (depending how you look at it)

With the Buff/Debuff, everything nearby will have a sudden, uncontrollable urge to kill you. Even the Parasaurs!

You can find Ammonite dwelling in the deep ocean, usually alone or in groups of 1-3. They are untameable. They drop Ammonite Bile, used to craft Pheromone Darts. If you get hit with "Rage", Prepare for that Alpha Mosasaur you thought you had outrun or that Tuso to come out and slaughter you. Or just get offed by a Coelacanth. Both is good.

POV: You go down to the ocean, deep-sea diving and get close to an ammonite.

It farts on you, and leaves a smell so bad the creatures around you are irritated and try to get rid of you.

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.

Me: "Ohhh maybe if I don't attack it and only get close to it I won't be sprayed!"

Me: "NOO I DIDNT HIT IT-!"
