If you’re on mobile and single player, don’t make a saddle! You get a free one after completing the tame icthy pursuit

How to raise an itchy

1. Go into the water for a good swim and see what you can find one

2. Once you see one it might swim up to you and hug you

3. Obtain meat to feed the marine reptile

4. Begin feeding the reptile WARNING: there is a bug that when they are hugging you they glitch and get you stuck and you could very well drown doing this so be careful.

5. Once tamed craft a saddle for it. It is fairly easy to craft the itchy saddle

Uses of the itchy when tamed:

1. They are extremely agile and swim faster than any other aquatic tame

2. For mobile players: they don’t get aggravated on by anything

3. They are so fast they do a full rotation around the island in less than 3 in game days

Weaknesses of the itchy when tamed:

1. They don’t have much health nor do they do much dmg

Best for killing scorpions on bottom of ocean floor since they don't take torpor. Scorpions down there will knock any other animals out. Once you kill it, hit it with a pickaxe to gather black pearls. Very useful for the next update with tek gear.

A bunch of these guys once protected me from a Megalodon and a Manta by swarming all around me to prevent my death...

!!!find any animal you may have lost on mobile !!!!!!

Go to your profile and it should say tames _/_ tap that and then it will show you all the animals you’ve tamed that are alive. Then go to the one you lost and hit request! Hope this helps anyone who needs it.

Do not try taming near any shoreline. Every time one takes my food, it immediately regrets human interactions and commits harikiri by touching land.

O M G COOL TIP!(MOBILE PLAYERS)

Once you have tamed and Ichthy get a saddle, ride the ichthy and bam you see a meg does it aggro you? No. See a spino does it aggro? No. MOBILE PLAYERS GET A FREE WORLD TO THEMSELVES TO EXPLORE! With the ichthy. Beware if you get off the ichthy uhm, let’s just say if you were near an aggro to human creature it’ll attack you. Soooooo I hope you guys can officially explore your home island with the ichthy! (It works I did it)

They nuzzle up to you for an easy start to a game but tend to wander off after a while. It is best if you trap it in a walled off area while it follows you for an easy tame

Tame it at herbivore island, there is a circle in the middle of the island where there are alot of them and they are trapped so it is easy to tame

To the person who said they don't do much damage mine just killed a whole Megalodon pack less than a minute
