Really, the only one good reason to tame one of these fishlike lizards is just it's perfect for traveling ;

It would remain invisible to every wild creatures, so, no one would agro on you

Plus, you would travel around at lighthspeed...

But the low health, due to low stats (low health, low melee damage), it's shitty for everything else

As it's an annoying taming process (sharks would not leave you, while you're just gaving food to the ichtiosaur), just don't lost your time on taming one, unless you are going to travel far

For the guy that said "admit it this was your first ocean tame" no it wasn't the megalodon i tamed this evening was my first ocean tame the reason I didn't tame these thing is cuz they are always around sharks and mantas when i go to the herb island i knocked one and kill the rest and there was one and i didn't tame it cuz is a pretty low level

I once saw this I saw 3 of them they came after me they wanted to be my pet and they loved me idk why I wasn’t even feeding them fish

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

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

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.

Grappling it and feeding it worked for me

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

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.

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

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!!! 🤟🏻

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

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.

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
