Tips & Strategies
If you want to imprint remember they can't get out of water, so to bypass the take oxygen option you can cryo it or use DS to reset what it wants. You will ask it to follow you (always underwater) a couple dozens of meters and cryo it again ultil it gets the +imprint from "wants to go on a walk with you" since that one doesn't require any interaction other than a whistle. I use a baryonyx to clear the place I'm in, set it to aggressive, to follow me, and objective distance=long.

Gets black pearls from trilobites pass the word
A must have tame for beginners! If you go under water with it you can ride on it and it gives you near infinite oxygen and if you dismount it you can have it burp into you mouth for mor oxygen!
When they burp, smell it, itβs oxygen
These cute amphibians are excellent for killing trilobites and gathering their corpses, since they:
* have a large damage multiplier on them
* gather black pearls in addition to the normal drops
* are fast enough to avoid and evade marine predators such as sharks
* will kill and gather trilobites in a single hit.
Additionally, theyβre great for pre-scuba gear silica pearl diving, since they can act as a portable oxygen tank. Just be wary of sea scorpions stinging your diplocaulus while you are grabbing pearls, because it has extremely low torpor and could be knocked out.
These guys are the kings of trilobite hunting. Not only do they deal additional damage to them, they're great at collecting chitin, oil, and pearls. Other perks: they don't need a saddle to be ridden while in the water, they provide you with oxygen underwater, and are faster than just about anything while swimming. Super underrated mounts imo.
A great utility Dino with a damage multiplier vs trilobites. Great source for collecting chitin, silica pearls, and oil in the early stages of the game.
To whoever said this is not rideable anymore, Dippy and I wholeheartedly disagree
Do NOT I repeat, do NOT go too deep into the ocean. Just like Basils, they will take damage from the pressure of deep water.
Amazing for starting out if you wanna go in the ocean and you don't have scuba gear unlocked, they are extremely fast and can outrun pretty much anything in the water like the dolphin, I still use mine even now
