Tips & Strategies
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 donβt 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 donβt 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.

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
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
Do not try taming near any shoreline. Every time one takes my food, it immediately regrets human interactions and commits harikiri by touching land.
How to tame one [ASA]
STEP 1. Make a trap and make it small so it doesn't swim around as much. Any material works fine since they're passive, but beware of other dinos.
Recommended Trap:
beach
|_ _| (Trap // Any mat works // Walls/Dinogates)
water
In the middle (The space), you place your opening (Check the "more" section if you're unsure of what it can fit through). Make sure to keep the opening in the middle opened and make it so the itchy can't swim out of the top/sides.
STEP 2. Find one, but don't feed it, closer to the trap you find it the better.
STEP 3. Bring it through the opening in your trap, it should follow you but it might swim off occasionally.
STEP 4. Shut the ichty in the trap, beware of all aggressive/territorial dinosaurs nearby.
STEP 5. Head to your base and get:
1. Required amount of taming food of your choice (Check "info")
2. A itchy saddle (Requires level 13, supply drops might give you one too)
STEP 6. Feed the icthy till it's tamed
STEP 7. Put the saddle on
STEP 8. Do something awesome (and probably die)
