Passively generates oil, America might want to come for you and steal it, I recomend hiding
Basilosaurus
The Basilosaurus is a dolphin-like creature that primarily dwells along the shallow areas of the ocean. It has the ability to keep survivors warm or cool.

What ARK players use the Basilosaurus for, and how to get the most out of it in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
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…
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
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…

For that one guy saying these things are op and you need to nerf them, the ocean is already full of under powered, ultra nerfed creatures that you can tame, like seriously man what are thinking, the ocean is fun but a bunch of animals are weak compared to alphas, and can easily…
For that one guy saying these things are op and you need to nerf them, the ocean is already full of under powered, ultra nerfed creatures that you can tame, like seriously man what are thinking, the ocean is fun but a bunch of animals are weak compared to alphas, and can easily die to electrophorus and cnidara, the basilo is the only exception, so you wanna nerf it.
Facts. They help you stay warm and cool
They lose hp in the deep
They are passive tames
They are immune to cnidarias and eel stings
Do not feed It with meat while on the deeps, It damages instead of healing the basilo, but when at medium depths and on the surface the meat will heal them normally, Upboot If you found this useful, i learned by myself.
These dudes Are gods of the seas cuz they don’t get effected by jellyfish and they have lots of hp and they are tanky and they can go very deep and mine killed a level 90 megaladon and he was level 29 and he won without a scratch I tamed a dunkleo with a Basilo long story…

I have a level 300 basilo and it has a hp of 42000 and a melee of 404 ,now it is currently a beast which can't be killed even by Alfa moso
These are worth the constant running away from fishes just to feed it because they #1: have tons of health #2: can passively produce oil and #3: are immune to cnindria stings making them a pretty good tame for getting biotoxen. So ya taming these guys is really worth it
It will keep you warm while you are underwater. It is also immune to Electrophorus and Cnidaria, but it will lose life when it is too deep
Very useful for both caves in the oceans as also carrying tons of stuff though the oceans to let’s say a water base. One of the best ocean creatures without a doubt. Easy to tame... only issue is the mantas swimming next to the Basilo.
Haven’t seen anyone talking about this, but wild Basilos are useful in another way: taming lots of Mantas!

The Mantas that spawn around Basilosaurus are still dangerous, but unlike other Mantas they WON’T aggro if you’re simply nearby or accidentally touch them. With enough AnglerGel, you can tame a whole school without a problem and then tame the Basilo after you’re done. Plus now it’ll have its own personal bodyguards!
Just watch out for other wild Mantas, though. If you aggro them, even the Basilosaurus’s Mantas will attack you.
THANK GOD THIS THING EXISTS
it is the best at sea
Quick note wont produce oil for force feeding. Will only produce oil when they eat on their own. So if you want free oil, don’t put a cone of shame on them.
best creature ever can't be shocked by jellies, can't be grabbed by squids, does LOTS of damage, heals super fast at surface, and drops only raw prime meat and oil.
I love these things 😍😍😍 They are literally king of the oceans and if you get a high level, almost nothing will kill you 👍 I have a level 232 with 30k health and does 400 damage 😱 Literally nothing will kill me now
Best underwater creatures to tam. They produce oil but the oil CAN spoil. Weight is wonderful. Stamanis is decent. Not very fast under water. Rgains health quickly. Don’t need to knock out passive tame. 1st underwater creature in ark to tame.
I’m a sea bob after taking this big guy 😎😎😎😎
These creatures are amazing, I use these for the water caves due to their immunity to shocks from eels and jellyfish. Plus their the health of regains fast. And generate oil, definitely a creature to have
just tamed one of these only to drown mid-fight against some megs. terrified that i was about to lose my tame so soon, i hurried back to where i died as fast as i could... only to find my basil had WRECKED all the megs. he can kill one shark in less than a minute! we traveled…
just tamed one of these only to drown mid-fight against some megs. terrified that i was about to lose my tame so soon, i hurried back to where i died as fast as i could... only to find my basil had WRECKED all the megs. he can kill one shark in less than a minute! we traveled from herb island all the way to carno island, and he gained 10 levels along the way from killing more megs, plus he collected so much fish meat he was almost encumbered. definitely a must tame--you'll never have to worry about megs, mantas, or jellyfish again.
