You would think the ichthy is the fastest sprinting underwater island tame, but it is only the 4th fastest.
These numbers are speeds of tamed underwater creatures when sprinting while swimming at 100% movement speed:
#4. Ichthyosaurus - 23.76 m/s
#3. Manta - 27 m/s
#2. Mosasaurus - 35.2 m/s
#1. Plesiosaur - 36 m/s
Note: Alpha tuso is 31.5 m/s and alpha mosa is 37.8 m/s when sprinting

If youβre on mobile and single player, donβt 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 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.
I don't know why but I can't feed it raw meat in underwater
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
If you wanna tame one of these beasts just go to Hervibore island and youβll 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
!!!find any animal you may have lost on mobile !!!!!!
Go to your profile and it should say tames _/_ tap that and then it will show you all the animals youβve tamed that are alive. Then go to the one you lost and hit request! Hope this helps anyone who needs it.
Do not try taming near any shoreline. Every time one takes my food, it immediately regrets human interactions and commits harikiri by touching land.
Tame it at herbivore island, there is a circle in the middle of the island where there are alot of them and they are trapped so it is easy to tame
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
