THEY FLEE WHEN ATTACKED, JUST LIKE ANGLERS. IF YOUR RIDE GETS SHOCKED, PULL OUT YOUR CROSSBOW, SWIM AWAY FROM YOUR RIDE AND SHOOT THEM, AND ONE BY ONE, THEY WILL LEAVE YOU ALONE.

You know what to do with that electrophorus. Wiggle wiggle wiggle.

You know that level 300 mosasaur you have. He is now just a decoration for your base.

I saw something shiny on the ground, thought it was silica pearls. Is wasn't. It most definetly wasn't

Picture a gang of agile monkeys armed with tasers, fast deadly and OP. Sneakier too

If you see a swarm of them, run. They have pack bonus and will constantly shock you or your mount and knock you mount out. They will feed on your dreams!

Why ark we don't need this they can knock you out faster then you can swim they run away recharge and then they come back for more this is almost as dumb as the flyer update

These things ruin the ocean. Cant use any water tames besides basilos now. Its just dumb how OP they are.

Rest in peace mate. You had a good run. Hope you didn't have any tames with you.

There is no escape. Try bringing more water dinos with you for back up. Maybe it will save whale. Just ask bill.

It does not run away when you shoot it with a crossbow upvote so everyone is not filled by the first tip

Always be looking around your surroundings in the water. If you find a pack it's better to lead the to coast and tame them. Leave tame in water on passive and shoot at them. Friend and I kill them all no matter what this way. If you have a please my luck was to get the hell away and wait till the eels sync up their flee pattern and whistle follow and flee as fast as possible. I use a spino most times but if you can't kill then bolt. Wear riot. If you're fighting on coast have stimulant in hot bar too.DO NOT stand on tame when you're being attacked they shock tame AND you. My luck when this happens is then I'm constantly stunned on back of Dino and die. If you're in the middle of ocean but at surface (You died but spino swam up to surface and is being shocked still) DO NOT fly close to water. Especially on a dragon. You will get shocked off and dropped into the water where they're literally (in my experience) ignoring your dinos and waiting for you to drop into their swarm.

Lost 3 squids to these guys they glitch into your belly and get stuck until you die

They have an oxygen stat. Not all wild eels move at the same speed.

Actually,if you get shocked when you stay still in water,you can swim as well,only a little bit slower.If you get shocked while swimming,your swimming speed will not be influenced.Unknowing if this is a bug?I am just wearing ordinary metal armor.

They have a pack bonus when in groups of multiple eels that makes their shock attack more powerful. The shock attack will slow the movement and reduce damage of its target. They are 5x faster than jellyfish and will chase you down. Do not underestimate these guys or you will die.

Frogs don't kick you off if they stun it. A tanky frog can withstand about 4 of these at lvl 100

Was swimming to get silica pearls from cave. My mate was waiting for me as I did not know the exact location of the cave. He was just idle deeper in the water. I was close to surface. I saw them approaching him and tried to warn him but itwas too late.

I parked my ichty near the shore and tried to get his bag. They swam towards me even though i was quite a distance away. I ended up dying. I respawned and quickly flew my lightning wyvern(pre nerf) to where my ichty was only to seeit get killed by the eels.

The eels then proceeded to another players plesi and started shocking it. There were quite a few of the eels. Me and my mate started blasting them with the lightning. Not sure if I was hitting them, I moved closer. Seems it was close enough to get shocked and the wyvern was paralyzed and couldn't move. Luckily I was not alone or it could have been the end for my wyvern.

Thanks devs for making an underwater drop impossible just lost 2 itchy's 268 and 265 mosa 269 God I love Ark

These creatures do not like players to tame whale friends.Because they know THE megalodon.
