Even though most aquatic creatures don’t aggro it megs will so be careful around those, luckily you can easily outrun them. mantas and other things will also aggro it if you dismount so don’t leave it unsupervised in an area with a lot of sealife (sarcos may also be a threat as I’ve seen some go way out into the ocean where they aren’t supposed to go, though I don’t know if they do aggro or not)

I tamed one but it died to a megaladon 😔

You can passive feed on these things on mobile making it easy to tame basilos mantas and eels

They are torpor immune.Thus is you have a high level ichthyosaur,collecting black pearls from eurypterids will be as easy as pie.

Saw that others had luck keeping him around using tames to make him curious, so I tried to tame one of those guys with a pet Spino in tow. Unlike the first time I saw one, it wasn't curious about us AT ALL. It immediately retreated. So, because I'd found it in a river, I tried to corner it.

It committed suicide-by-beach. Literally swam up onto shore and insta-died rather than be near us.

I don't think they like Spinos. Leave yours at home.

If you are haveing trouble finding them go to the red obelisk and in the water beneath there are some and I have even encountered meglodons there.

Easy, great tame!

Things to note before taming:

-feeding one causes others to appear

-they have bad health and melee damage, but make up for it in speed

-best fighters against megalodons in packs

Here’s how to tame:

Find ichthyosaurus away from dangerous creatures like mantas and megalodons. You also will want one near the shore. Next, put raw meat (prime or reg.) in slot 0. Swim and approach the ichthy. It will be curious. Quickly feed it meat. Prime meat sometimes tames an ichthy instantly on taming multiplier three. Make sure it was away from Megs! Any megs around will now try to attack you sea creature. If attempting to take one near dangerous creatures, bring an ichthy saddle so you can hop right on and swim to safety. Your new ichthy probably will cause others to appear. If so, you should tame them. You could have a pack of 8 with upgraded melee damage and health, and they could easily beat a megalodon!

So, this is an update to my previous post about my Ichthy being aggroed on mobile. Apparently it was just a glitch and somehow it was fixed. If you're on mobile and the ichthys are clutching getting aggroed on even when you're riding them, try a few things. I do know that after my lvl 200+ died, I tamed another ichthy and all ichthys are no longer aggroed. So, though I don't know if this is how to fix it. Try it. Another thing to try is just to save the world in your backup saves and then delete the world and then restore it from the backup saves. If none of this works then I don't know how to help 😭

Came upon this creature without any prior planning, had some spare prime meat so I thought why not? Immediately after taming it, 2 megalodons, a male and female, swam up to the shore and killed it before I could do anything to help. Proper planning like having a saddle ready and some kind of water inclosure already made for the creature is probably your best chance of keeping it alive.

You can not pick up an Ichthyosaurus with a Karkinos, despite that dododex says you can.

Great for new players exploring the deep dark depths of the sea

I still can’t tame one cuz the megalodons immediately target me when I get more deep in the ocean

Swim your ass up to it and than feed it A simple kibble bam you’ve got yourself the fastest aquatic mammal! No trapping necessary!!! 🤟🏻

guys be really carefull if you stay to close to the rock and thing like that ur ichthy might get stuck like mine

I though you wouodnt be able to be seen by megs ive been getting attacked by everyything

I have 1 high level one on phone that I use to farm fish meat. For some reason all creatures don’t hit it back when you attack them unless you dismount or hit them your self

NEVER set your Ichy to Wandering, it'll bolt right away and you'll never see it again

I was able to call mine back on Mobile but not the improved Saddle it was in its inventory after unequiping it and forgetting to take it out

Fact: Baby icthiyosaurus drop raw prime meat

Use dodo kibble it’s easy to make it all you need is 2 to tame a high level even a level 55 and 80

When taming it, don't let it go far while starving. It'll cost you more raw fish meat
