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

Too bad they are slightly less common than electrophoruses, but to find one just go to the bottom of the ocean you will find loads. Then start tranqing one if your mount allows you to equip weapons, (really only ichthy) if it stops mid swim and its head slouches slightly down that means it is knocked out. You can then feed it meat to tame it, while keeping in mind that the ko'ed anglerfish you are looking at will stay deep below the ocean until it is tamed, so if you don't have a scuba tank quickly resurface for oxygen right after you ko the angler, then swim back down to check on it every once in a while. If you swim back to it and it's tamed, you can whistle follow and it will follow you back to the surface really quickly.

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 😶

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

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

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

YOU CAN RIDE THEM WITHOUT A SADDLE

They will also light up the area in front of them with a soft, bluish light

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

Can be transported in fish basket but sometimes when you release them you can't ride them or access their inventory

You can fix this by cryopodding it and throwing it out again

After you get a mosa kill these and you will have so much anglergel you won't know what to do with it.

Probably because there are already not that many uses for angler gel.

Be really care when knocking these things out from a distance! Unfortunately they don't look knocked out when they are so continuing to shoot darts at them can be an easy an unfortunate mistake to make.

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.

Pro tip! Anglerfish can be caught in a fish basket!

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

Want infinite fuel?

1. Get yourself a simple underwater tame like a meg

2. Kill anglers for gel

3. Store and keep burning in standing torches or refinery

( STANDING AND WALL TORCHES BURN BLUE)

I collect this with a plesiosaur and can burn 700 metal with just 30. Lucky I collected 5000

Can be used to pick up 60ish pearls instead of 6 or so by hand. Awesome tame now since the update added this.

People keep saying use angler gel for fuel, but that’s a waste. Use wood so you can then get charcoal for gunpowder, something that you constantly need.

Fun fact, Arks anglers are only half correct, you see only the females are big and powerful, the males are tiny and puny and all they do is attach to the female and then get absorbed by her, she steals his privates and then uses it to reproduce. She can do this as many times as she wants, with multiple males fused to her sides as she so pleases. This may sound disturbing, but there's a reason for this, angler live in the deep sea where it's dark and death can loom around the corner, and food can be quite scarce an elusive, so by having the males fuse to a female shortly after birth, allows them to co exist without competing with each other. This is also seen in spiders, but the spiders are less extreme, with the males just being smaller and eating something else, or hunting on the ground in opposition to the female on the web. Of course just like how the titaboa doesn't constrict its prey in ark, things like this are hard to program and difficult to balance. This would no doubt make angler breeding in ark absolutely OP, with allowing the female to select between differnt males to breed with on the same creature.

You don’t need a saddle to ride them.

Sister and I found one max level in the aberation area in Valguero.

We began darting it to tame it.

It did not want to be tamed.

It literally beached itself and died.

I caught the whole thing on clip.

I was laughing but my sister was pissed.
