Whenever you encounter a Angler always kill it as it’s Angler gel burns for ages.

These can spawn only in deep ocean so if you wanna tame or kill one go to the deep ocean

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)

Anglers are found in the deeper parts of the ocean, finding them is as one would guess easy as their lures are easy to see at a distance, they are comparatively easy to kill for gel ( taming food for Mantas and the best fuel in game ) but in groups exceeding three then I suggest running, best take a megaladon.

Also can be lured by other tamed anglers lures.

They spawn everywhere around the map border. They are quite deep though.

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!

Valguero: Found in the aberration area in a shallow stream of all the places. Has a contingent of spino and karkino troops. Expect heavy casualties.

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

More common the further north you go, so not suggested to such for on south coast.

on an itchy they won’t attack but on a basil they attack you smh

if you see a pack of electric eels... its already too late

Since they tend to retreat and charge after taking some damage,having a fast water mount (or at least flippers) is good to get off and back on when trying to ko or kill. I prefer the Sarco for its AoE bite against multiple and infinite stamina in water (however it only has one speed in water anyways, but it's still fairly quick depending on level). If escape is necessary bite it with the Sarco when it gets too close and swim away when the angler retreats. Crossbows (and most, if not every, other weapon) do work on its back, if you'd rather not get off.

Anglers do aggro on you and your tames on ark mobile. They aren't neutral.

Where there’s one there’s many, and sometimes an Electrophorus, which gives me reel anxiety

These thing are found in the deep ocean

I saw them in the southern cave be' carefull cuz if u fall in the water you will be stuck there unless you have a belzebufo

You will need to kill this creature (or a deathworm) for angler gel so you can craft the night vision goggles and electric prod. Also angler gel is the longest lasting light source and can be used on the wall torch or standing torch.

Why don’t they attack you in the snow cave?????

Anglerfish will damage wood. With that said, build a cage on your plesiosaur platform and trap it like a quetz. So much easier.

They flee after getting bitten once. Weird.
