These things are amazing like literally Op, its easy to tame and the best thing about it is its very fast, nothing attacks it yes! nothing even when i damage any creature it will only attack me once and then leave me alone and i could also just kill creature's easily after getring hit once only yeah... just dont get off your itchy and if you do everything will start attacking you even after you get on the itchy again so dont get off the itchy under water if your tryna collect oil just equip the pickaxe and you'll be able to mine while riding the itchy! which means your on god mode bec nothing is a threat to you.. i dont know about land creatures tho...
Please don’t be fooled. All these people saying they won’t get attacked is a feature on MOBILE ONLY. Even on pc or console, there’s still good tames. While they’re not great harvesters and don’t have much health, food, or stamina, they're easily capable of outswimming everything in the ocean. Those stupid megalodons don’t stand a chance.
These are great beginner marine tames the only thing about these guys is that they have: #1 low health, #2 low weight, #3 horrible melee damage #4 in everything other than mobile they CAN agro other creatures, but just pump his stamina, weight, and movement speed and you have a super quick water tame.
I hope this was useful.

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 😭
Usually, Ichthys are OP in mobile as they initially are mounts that don't get aggroed on like arthros and rafts. As long as you stay on the dolphin! But for your information, this is STRICTLY for mobile users.
BUT!!! For some reason...everything aggroes on my ichthys!! I tamed three ichthys and they all got killed because stuff aggroed on it! I didn't even attack anything and the ichthy was just chilling beside the beach! Why did this happen???? Is my game glitched? Or is it a glitch in mobile that nothing aggroes ichthys on mobile and thus my game is no longer glitched? Whatever it is. I need to fix this!!! But HOW???????
P.S. This is a rare occurrence, usually ichthys don't get aggroed on in my games, so it's not my ARK that's the problem, it must be my world that's the problem. But idk how to fix it!
