I tamed one of these named Diana. She was super fast but kind of stupid: always getting stuck on something. Diana and I formed somewhat of a relationship as time went on. Our bond strengthened she was able to beach a shark for me to kill it. Diana soon became one of my best friends... but nothing lasts forever. As I was leading her back to base via SS Dodo, I noticed a large figure swimming rapidly towards us. Diana made the fatal mistake of not paying attention to her surroundings. I helplessly fire arrow after arrow at it, but it was so filled with rage that they had no affect. I had to watch as MY Diana was ripped to shreds by an oversized fish. That is why my base is now called Fort Diana in honor of the brave soul. Thank you for your time.
Always put a tracking device on your ichthy. I once had an ichthy called mini on mobile, mini was a good tame, she never failed when I needed her, she was the first way I got to herbivore island, she could take me to all the best hunting beaches, but then one day I thought 'hey mini's such a good tame let's see if I can go around the whole island on her' so I tried I was doing well, I'd already got from my home in the footpaw to the sandspit near the red obelisk, but then mini started to get hungry, I went and looked for food for her and found a moschops, but it didn't give me much meat so I decided to go after a gallimimus it escaped, but when I got back to where I left mini she was gone, no death message no gap in my tame list just gone, for months I searched that sandspit for mini, but to no avail, one day a year after I'd lost her I was running low on tame slots, I knew I had to unclaim her, even now when I visit that sandspit I think I see her but I never do. RIP Mini 🐬💗
Well, I was riding my own Icthy I decided to go around killing the other ones to help with my tams sense One of my patrons died to two allos and the other one died to a cat in the forest. they don’t run away if you attack them with fun of their own💀 pretty sure this only works on these though I’ll give you updates on other creatures if I find things

The two quietly snuck up near the Tyrannosaurus, crawling through the snow like soldiers in a violent war. Before leaving they had grabbed longneck rifles and tranq darts, which Dr. Aston had made more after yesterday’s incident.
“So did you ever tame anything in your past times?” Loki whispered curiously. The Tyrannosaurus leaned forward and began assaulting a pack of five Mammoths. It effortlessly tore through all of them, ripping chunks of flesh and leaving nothing but blood and bones in its wake. It surely was a powerful thing.
“Yes. This was definitely one of the harder ones to tame though,” Mr. Ma replied.
“Would you say it’s the hardest?”
Mr. Ma shuddered at his question, his face turning white.
“No. There is certainly something much more powerful and violent than the Tyrannosaurus. Larger too. And its roar… it makes your bones vibrate, and your head hurt.”
“What is it?”
“...You don’t wanna know, Loki.”
Mr. Ma brushed snow off his rifle and aimed at the Rex.
“Prepare to shoot, Loki.”
Loki aimed his rifle as well, and at the same time, they pulled the trigger.
PEW PEW!
The two tranq darts flew through the air and pierced the Rex’s skin. It let out an irritated roar, and turned around, blood dripping from its teeth into the snow. Loki’s eyes began to waver as blood dripped onto his hands.
“It can’t see us, right?” Loki whispered in fear.
Snow poured from the clouds above, and the Tyrannosaurus looked around, its head moving back and forth. One of its eyes looked right at Loki, and he gulped in fear. Yet still, it didn’t seem to have spotted him.
With booming steps, the Rex began to move forward.
Boom, boom, boom! The Rex lifted its foot and was about to step on Loki, when…
Someone grabbed him by the arms and jolted him away. Loki tumbled through the snow, putting a hand on his rifle. It was Chloe! She had a rifle of her own in her hand, and gave Loki the peace symbol.
“You really think I would let you and Mr. Mo do this alone?” Chloe asked.
Loki smiled for a bit, but his smile turned to a frown as the Rex leaned down to eat Chloe. Loki pointed.
“Watch out-”
A dart flew through the air and hit the Rex in the head. It let out an irritated roar and turned to face its attacker. Mr. Ma. Mr. Ma winked at Chloe.
“Thanks for helping Loki. Now, let’s finish this!”
Chloe began to run backwards, pointing his rifle and shooting another dart at the Rex. Loki did the same once he finished reloading. The Rex let out a furious roar and stomped its foot into the snow, flailing its tiny arms about until letting out a fearsome roar that shook the ground.
ROARRRRR!
Chloe’s finger began to shake on the trigger, and her eyes widened. Her body began to shake.
“What’s- happening?” Chloe asked as he began to shake, “I can’t move…”
Loki felt unaffected by this change, however. He took another shot at the Rex and grabbed Chloe by the arm, leading her away from the danger. As Chloe stumbled along and the Rex continued to chase them, Chloe blinked his eyes and shook her head, no longer in shock.
“Ah ha!” Chloe shouted. She aimed her rifle with one arm and shot again. Pew!
The Rex was definitely beginning to get drowsier. Its steps began to grow slower, and its eyelids began to droop. One more stumble, and it began to sway back and forth. Mr. Ma let out a laugh as he shot another dart.
“It’s almost down! Put your all into it kiddos!”
Chloe and Loki reloaded their rifles as quickly as they could, and then they aimed at the Rex, taking one final shot…
As the darts made their target, the Rex let out a bellow of defeat, and collapsed to the ground.
“Ha ha ha! We did it!” Mr. Ma exclaimed in joy. He giddily ran up to the Rex and began to feed it some of the meat he had gathered in the morning. Chloe turned to Loki and gave him a grin.
“Nice,” Chloe turned to Mr. Ma, “Hey can I name him?”
“Yeah sure, go for it.”
Chloe grinned harder and walked up to the Rex, caressing his jawline.
“I’m thinking… Crusher.”
They spent the next half hour waiting for the Tyrannosaurus to awake and be theirs.
The three walk back to the settlement, Crusher following closely behind. Loki could see Brad and his goons shaking in their boots as they approached town.
“T-T-T-T-REX!” Brad shook as he pointed a crooked finger at Crusher. Brad’s goons began to run away, and as Brad tried to run away he slipped and fell into the snow. Brad turned around with wide eyes as the Rex leaned forward and began to smell Brad’s scent.
“Me, Mr. Mo, and Chloe have tamed a Tyrannosaurus to devour anyone who does not listen for the betterment of this camp!” Loki’s voice boomed, “You have all taken things too far… So now it’s time we have the nonsense stop! We won’t let anyone hold us back!”
Everyone seemed to oblige, nodding intensely and sweating profusely. Loki frowned, he right about expected Mr. Ma to put a hand on his shoulder and scold him for being too violent…
But Mr. Ma patted him on the back.
Loki turned around and Mr. Ma smiled at him.
“You were ruthless,” Mr. Ma said with a grin. Chloe smiled and nodded along.
“Yeah, Mr. Ma's right. That was pretty cool. Not bad, Loki.”
