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.

If you wanna tame one of these beasts just go to Hervibore island and you’ll find so many of them following basilosaurs I tamed 2 and Breeded them I got baby ichthyasaur but got killed by lvl 1 Meg and I killed it and got teeth.Up if good

Ichthyosaurus are one of the weakest water tames, but their speed makes them a great utility tame. This guide will help you acquire one yourself.

1. Locate an accessible ichthy of the desired level, if you have no water tames, go for one near shore, preferably in a mostly cut off from the ocean body of water like a bay. Taming a very low level can allow you to increase your range of accessibility because you can swim far into the ocean so it can be a good idea when going for a high level.

2. Gather food, raw meat is good enough if you cannot get better food, however I would recommend prime, or mutton because they are relatively easy to get and they will give much more taming progress and lose very little effectiveness. Kibble can also be used if you have access to it, for a perfect tame.

3. The ichthy is a passive tame, so you will need to swim up to it to start taming it. As with every passive tame, the interval between feeding it a second time is very long, so you can either wait with it, or you can do something short, it seems to be around 10 to 20 minutes. After the second feed they will be low on hunger, and so you can feed them around every 15 seconds until they are tamed or full on hunger (which has never happened to me because of how much their hunger goes down when waiting for the second feed)

4. Ichthys will naturally swim towards and follow you when you get near, which makes taming them much easier. After staying with you, eventually they will swim away, however in my experience you delay this by periodically moving and having them follow you, instead of staying still. When they do start swimming away, exit the water instead of chasing them. This will make them stop avoiding you, and will make it so if you get close to them again, they will begin following you again. It is MUCH easier to try to cut them off rather than chase them to get close again to get them to follow you.

Happy taming!

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

To anyone who lose their tames and you can't find it.

Go to your stats (Or profile) and you'll see the tames. Click on the tames button and find your lost tame. Press it and click request and wait for a while. (For water tames BE in water otherwise they'll die.)

WARNING: ALL ITEMS IN A REQUESTED CREATURE WILL BE LOST.

I recommend taming one of these while riding something cause they like to say hi to tames so they will just be chilling right by you while you tame them

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