This is an actual underrated tame. Have a good 6-12 of these guys can make taming aquatic creatures so much easier. Highly recommend taming these to save on tranq arrows / tranq bolts for underwater taming.

Basilos can't be stunned by this.

Dear ark please give us a Faraday suit yours truly ~ a stunned survivor

Nice glowing pets that kill piranhas in the river

Make sure you bring stimberries. I made that mistake. The eels don’t deal much torpor alone, but if you are feeding it biotoxin and accidentally eat it, you will quickly get knocked out.

Why do these have oxygen... can they walk on land?!?

Up if you think they should make bigger and you can ride him without a saddle

These spawn at the bottom of the ocean, but have no depth limit so you can lure them to the surface in for example a shallow river if you want so you can grie- i mean make it easier and safer to tame

Why dosen it have a propor photo

Taming guide #1: Electhrophorus

1 find the electhrophorus you want to tame ( they usually spawn in group so be carefull)

2 Use a Basilosaurus because It Is immune to them or and High HP water mount ( i used Plesio )

3 aggro the eel

4 Let It Attack your Mount

5 feed It Biotoxin ( the eel moves a lot and do Area shock Attack so pay attention )

6 You Tamed your useless light fish 👍

their shock does torpor

Masstame 150's til you got 25 of them, use them together with a swarm of 50 mantas backed up by mateboosted basils, mosas and tusos.

Absolutely insane, ofc have them covered by some tek and heavies set on players only.

Have them all following a passive tame on low distance (could be an angler), and have them set on attack-my-target, and aggro range high.

Have a trapped tame as scout on aggressive and aggro range high, when it aggro towards any dinos or players, it will send the whole force to kill and stun the target, when target is out of range or dead, they will come back to base.

Umm.. just don’t eat the bio toxin while doing this I tried and ate it twice. Thankfully I went to shore before a fainted

Fun fact;

Electrophorus gets is name from the part of an electric eel’s scientific name- electrophorus electricus

Set them to follow your fastest water mount and attack its target then make them only target conscious in behaviour if you have about 30 you should be able to knock out basically anything under the sea!

Easily tamable in Valgueros aberration section as water is shallow and you can literally stand right beside it and feed.

These have decent utility. My friend is in a tribe who has a few underwater bases and around these bases are these eels.

He says they know a basilo can easily destroy these guys, but apparently people use mosas more commonly on that server.

Don't lead your new tamed eel home while skimming the surface on your "whale"... The eel will surface itself at some point and instamtly die from being out of the water. Took me 3 eels this way before I figured out how they were dying without getting into combat.

To easily tame these head to crysle isle goto the shard island then theres bubbles filled with these kill few jelly fish harvest toxin then boom tame them super easy tame on crysle isle

RUN if you see one earlygame, especially on genesis as there will always be more lurking around.
