This is the biggest deal you will ever own. Enjoy! Oh by the way: I hope you like mantas!

When you find one of these when you hit them with whatever any water creature nearby will attack you
You can not feed basilos while riding a ichty (dolphin). You have to dismount (at least on Xbox and PS4) and if you dismount and feed the basilo the mantas will try to kill you.
When taming the time between the first and second feed takes forever. To avoid this move well out of render and back again and it will be ready to feed 👍 Also upon your return be sure to kill everything in the area before continuing. Essentially an under water rex. great all round beast.
Once you're able to passively feed the basil, I repeat DON'T LEAVE IT ALONE!
The first feeding is at least a 5 min wait, but once you get to the other feedings you'll have to constantly feed it every 8 seconds or else you’ll lose taming progress.
I find them all around herbivore island on mobile for those who have asked 👍 If you want high levels tho, I can only seem to find high levels around dead island and the snow biome 🤷♂️
Try not to die when feeding it
I’m planning to tame this guy so I cannot to be scared of them
it helps people get out of fear of jellyfish
This guy does not like to swim alone so he stays with his manta friends be careful
The feeding intervals are more like 10 minutes
Pro Tip: Basi’s won’t spawn with a whole gang of mantas on Gen 1 map, making it much easier to tame. You also have increased oxygen and swim speed in Gen 1’s Ocean Biome so you won’t need scuba gear and you can outswim Megalodons easily.
