This is a must have tame! Why? Well lemme tell you!

1:they are a really easy tame since there passive tamed so an easy noob tame

2:they are able to withstand a eel or jelly zap so you don’t get knocked of your mount(unlike the lucky noobs…RIP)

3:they are a passive oil generator so you get free oil from them,the max they can hold in there inventory is 20 but they produce quickly

4:they have enormous attack damage so you could easily kill a meg(I have a lvl 23-4 or some thing and it kills things in seconds)

5:they have short but good bursts of speed that can get you to the surface in a couple of secs

6:they have an ok saddle?(it’s unlocked at lvl 60 and requires smithy to make)but it lets you ride your helpful tame so…🤷🏻‍♀️

7:they are chonky so they are pretty cute and come in very colorful colors(lol)

8:they’re health can go very high(like I said before mine is lvl 23 or something and it’s health is over thirteen thousand health so it can take a lot of damage)

9:they are able to keep you from getting to cold or hot(pretty helpful when your in the Arctic region or deep see diving)

10:they need lots of fish meat to be able to get around(they big chungus(I named mine BC))

I hope this helps you with all the tips and time I put into this👍

Good for farming bio toxin, as it can attack Cnidaria without being stunned or knocking off the rider. Takes damage when it goes too deep, though surfacing rapidly heals it.

Even if you don’t have the saddle Engram for it you can use it as a way to get free oil 😱😱😱😱. Like so low level ppl can see

A great beginner tame, once you have an icthyosaurus, you can swim up to it and passive tame it. I just tamed one, and less than 5 minutes after I tamed a level 4, it’s killed 2 megalodons and 4 mantas. Like so noobs and beach bobs can see.

The basilo is a great underwater tame, preventing dismounts, when it goes to a certain depth it starts to lose health, although it has so much health it doesn’t rly matter, it is widely used for soaking underwater bases due to its high health, to protect yourself from being ezily underwater raided you can set ur turrets to only survivers, don’t do it on all turrets though only the ones that a basilo can soak you should put on only survivers

Good fighter, immune to jellies, supernatural healing boost at the surface, produces oil in its inventory, impervious to squid grabs, looks kinda cute too, only one bad thing about it: it gets squashed in the deep! Only slowly but the damage is there!

Can kill squid like their kin in real life. Tame a 150 and you can take on alphas like they are regular ones. Just up health and memes. They recover steam so quick boosting it is pointless. An all around amazing creature, 10/10.

Oh my god it does not get effected my jellyfish this is one of the best creatures ever.

This creature has to be one of the most useful aquatic tames. It's literally the best bio toxin harvester because of its immunity to electric shocks, plus has amazing stats. We also can't ignore the fact that it generates oil passively. The cherry on top is that it's a passive tame!!

Mine just ate an alpha mosasaur.

Generally surrounded by what appears to be some sort of coral fern. Coral fern is in fact a swarm of feral majestic sea flap-flaps. Swarm is protective of their oily host.
