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

- Main use for this tame is using the Angler as a "lure" for other anglers kill anglers for their gel. The gel is the longest burning fuel in the game at approx. 6 minutes per 1 gel
- secondly use is a light source underwater

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

Angler fish have the bright antenna, so look out for that whe. Trying to locate one.

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

The tek cave update gave the anglers the ability to gather pears, according to the wiki

Very useful for exploring underwater caves

- Main use is after tamed they will attract more anglers which can be harvest for gel
- Secondary use would be a mobile underwater tame that also has a built in light
- Lastly they can be harvested for gel which tames Manta's

(Angeler gel is the longest burning fuel source at 6 min per gel)

There tend to be quite a lot of angler spawns in North zone near Carno Island

It's a good idea to trap them if you can then they can't swim away, making the taming process alot easier.

They get a lot of silica pearls when you attack the shells with it.

The terror birds of the sea the are extremely annoying just like the terror birds on land

Since update these bad boys are amazing for pearls chomp and run. Suggest. Speed and damage

As of the recently, anglers collect pearls. Ranging from around 40 pearls and up on official servers per bite, melee affecting amount (melee mutation = main goal)

Need a lot of pearls ? ... Then you really want a lightbulb fishy :)

Use a high damage crossbow to avoid accidently killing the angler. If you dont have such a crossbow its highly advised to use tranq darts: however you need to lure the angler into a water cave and shooting it within as longneck rifles cant be use in water. Good luck

Best for harvesting silica pearls after patch v257.

Bring a crossbow, so you can shoot underwater.
Easiest way.

Use a fish basket in abberation to to take them to different water areas

Beware: Can be in schools of over 100 in some trenches.
