Tips & Strategies
Once you feed it the raw meat, it will potentially bring its buds with it. I got 9 of them by that. It was awesome and you can go pretty much anywhere with them. They are the fastest under sea animal that I have ever tamed
If you’re on mobile and single player, don’t make a saddle! You get a free one after completing the tame icthy pursuit
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.

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 don’t 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 don’t 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.
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...
If you wanna tame one of these beasts just go to Hervibore island and you’ll 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
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.
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.
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
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)

Not true. Icthys on mobile still are not attacked by anything in the ocean(unless u attack it). I tested it while taming a lv 80 mosa. Swam right next to it before I attacked. I still think icthys are the best underwater tame. Their fast, they have rider weaponry, and r perfect for taming plesiosaurs and mosas. Tamed easily, as they swim right up to u. They eat dodo kibble, and if u have 3-5 kibble, u can easily get one fast. (-like if this helps😁)
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 go somewhere on water this is a must need.
Their saddle is inexpensive and they are speedy as hell, easily being the fastest water mount the game has to offer.
Their taming is relatively easy, doesn’t take that much time and you only need like 9 meat. Also they don’t get aggroed on in mobile.
In general, this creature is a massive win when it comes to speed, traveling and gathering underwater resources.
