This is the kind of creature I'd happily hunt to extinction...

Never go near it with your Dino, it will kill you, your Dino, your friends, your family, the guy down the street, some guy over in Africa, all while they won't do a thing to attack it.

Go for a swim they said, it'll be fun they said...

i threw a spear at a group of these guys, then my sarco went to kill them and I watched in horror as she flew through the air dead, now all I do is kill every last one of these guys

Seductress of the sea,
I shine most beautifully.
But get near,
And it's schockingly clear
Why you'd better stay far from me.

Learned the hard way that bouncing on their tops isn't an option. Nemo lies ;-;

What I do to kill these things is just get it to the shoreline, then it can't hurt you while you stand in front of it and beat it to death with a bat. Literally the second species I killed after some dodos.

The most overpowered creature i've met

Went on a killing spree with my spino to pass time to breed aga. Decided to go kill piranhas and my spino legit got stunlocked permanently until I finally managed to kill all of them with my spino hanging on by a thread because of these godforsaken things. Hunt these things into extinction or they'll murder everything you love and the neighbors.

says it’s early game? I heavily disagree with that and they might kill a giga given the right circumstances
Ubfoot so can see..

These things spawn on The Island at the bottom right of the map near the Lava Cave. These cheeky little buggers are more than happy to ruin your day by swarming and stunlocking you and your tames nonstop unless you are on a Basilosaurus, which is the only creature that is immune to their attacks. If you don't have a Basilosaurus, lure them close to shore and cheese it with a spear or pike, better yet pray that they beach themselves and die.
