Imagine this: leedsichthys tameable and rideable. They can harvest metal and oil. They had a platform saddle. They could swallow fish hole and carry them around alive. WELL THEY ARENT TAMABLE! They would be op as a tame.

Ever need LOTS of raw prime fish? 1st get a bassilosaurus 2nd find leedsicthis and kill with bassilo, then harvest body.

Mosasaurus: I am the strongest water creature of all time
Leedsichthys: Hold my raft chunks

Fun fact: They give Prime FISH meat. Not normal prime meat.

Despite it's dossier stating that it is not tamable it has a saddle design in the ARK Files.

General tip works great get an Ichysauros and swim down to one hop off quick and you can “scrape it’s meat” it won’t become aggressive as long as you get back on fast but it gives you loads of raw prime fish meat and you can do it every 10 min

If you find a low level one and have something with around 4k damage kill it, it gives a ton of prime fish meat

When I and my Teammates decided to sail to herby island to set up base there. We didnt encountert one. But later when one of these appeart and started to use our Raft as a Chewing toy, we where able to scare it away with a Crosbow. I dont know if it was luck or these can be scared of by shooting them.

If near the shore, can be used to get some prime fish to help a tame or meat to spoil in early game. Can be quite helpful
