everyone was right… as long as your in the saddle nothing will aggro you

I play on valguero and I see so many of these dead on the shoreline and when I harvest them they give a bunch of organic polymer

Level only speed. Then see how fast you can get. They’re simple takes, and don’t get attacked by anything. At least in my experience. But level only speed. And maybe a little bit of carry weight. You go zoom out of the water🤣

Y’all… ichthys most certainly do get attacked in the water. Tell “nothing attacks u on them” to my ichthy who was violently slaughtered by an alpha mosa. Unless you play mobile (which is only about 5% of ARK players if I had to guess) they definitely get attacked even if you are in the saddle.

Cnidaria don’t attack you when you ride one of these!

This things are very fast, very easy to tame, and most sea creatures won’t attack you if you are riding one.

I’ve tamed a basil, megalodon, and an electrophorus and NONE of them are as amazing as my itchy. This is the best beginner underwater tame I could ask for!!!

this little guy is the sea equivalent of the equus, you get its saddle after you complete the taming pursuit (very early) and the taming method is passive, this creature is docile and is very frequently found along the shore of the mainland and the herbivore island. very fast and has stealth (just like cave creatures) in the mobile version for some reason

on mobile they behave like cave creatures: creatures will rarely aggro you when you're mounted. in the rare occasions in which they do, they'll only attack you once before de-aggro'ing, so the relatively low base stats won't be much of a problem

DunkIes won’t aggro if saddled (I haven’t tried whistle target yet) but mounted can get plenty of chitin for further hunting up if helpfull armor / sadd mats!

If you're a mobile player enjoying the "invisible" Ichty glitch, DO NOT attempt to kill a Tusoteuthis with it! Even a level 2 is enough to kill your Icthy in seconds without a good saddle. I lost my 500+ health ramshackle saddle Icthy to one when it suddenly aggroed on me. This can happen with many wild creatures where they turn and bite you once or twice before giving up. But the giant squid doesn't give up, it just grabs, and crushes. Once again, do not attack the giant squid Unless you're certain your Icthy can take a pounding of around 800 unnegated damage!

In ARK mobile none of the dinos attack a tamed ichthyosaurus.

Honestly these are my favorite water tames they are so easy to tame because they are passive and swim right up to you then on mobile you get a free saddle from the pursuit. These guys are extremely fast and if your on mobile nothing will agro on you or your icthy unless you get off or attack they are also amazing for getting black pearl because they can kill the mini sea scorpions without taking torpor. All around they are just amazing.

If your itchy doesn't give birth after the gestation, see if it's rear end is stuck somewhere

"Nothing will aggro on you if u ride this guy"

But why does everything still and want to kill me? I can our run them but i just want a nice swimming around with under the sea background music.

How to exploit it: creatures (in mobile version) can’t see you on its back and you will not attack you. You can shoot arrows at megaladons and live. Easy as that. New best way to game a megaladon is the Ichthyosaurus. (Trust me I tried and it worked!)

From what I’ve tested, everything aggrows on it. Even tamed a second one and had the same result (yes I was mounting it)

They are literally so fast it makes getting oil soooooo easy

On mobile sea creatures won’t aggro it so you can easily get resources.

Really, the only one good reason to tame one of these fishlike lizards is just it's perfect for traveling ;

It would remain invisible to every wild creatures, so, no one would agro on you

Plus, you would travel around at lighthspeed...

But the low health, due to low stats (low health, low melee damage), it's shitty for everything else

As it's an annoying taming process (sharks would not leave you, while you're just gaving food to the ichtiosaur), just don't lost your time on taming one, unless you are going to travel far
