Whenever you encounter a Angler always kill it as it’s Angler gel burns for ages.
For some reason, they aggro Kairukus (Penguins) when in the wild. Aberrant versions can and will attack you in surface waters as well, learned that they aggro Kairukus by summoning an Aberrant Angler and then a Kairuku in front of it then it aggroed it! (The Kairuku was wild)

Adventure log- Angler aka goofy fish is one of the many creatures that lurk in the deep oceans of various maps. The have a light source that holds angler gel, which is bright and can craft light sources, like the attachable flashlight for tools an weapons. They are the only way too get it so far. On the Island, (Map) You can find them in the deepest layers of the surrounding ocean, specificly at the Twilight layer (there are layers in the ocean that differ from how much sunlight each layer gets) when observing them, make sure that you have SCUBA gear, acuatic tame, and that there are no dangerous creatures around. I belive that we need to know more of creatures that lurk amoung us in Ark!

Emerald forest Valguero has ones in shallow water and are easier to kill and to tame.
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
