Check rivers before crossing them in early game. I lost a rapter and a sarco they accidentally hit to piranhas.

DO NOT! Lose your stuff in the water they act like torpedos that tear you apart

I ran in this when I was taking my megalodon out of its crocodile and these things just started attacking my meg so I hopped on my squid "inky" and killed them but they almost got my meg killed

The way I kill them is lure them to the edge of the water, get out and then they can't hurt you but you can kill them.

Don’t let them catch you on a mount while behind you or your dead in the water. make sure they stay in front of you whenever you encounter them because of how fast they hit.

I was ramming a barionix in the swamp he then I tamed him I was soooooo happy until a piranha killed it if what the barionix was low HP

You see 1 then 2 then 3 then be 4 you know it your toes are gone

Kill it with a high damage !!!!!

RIP sheren I will use an army of my pets to kill them

These satanfish are scared of sarcos so just walk up to a piranha-infested place and shout fear me while riding your sarco

At least that's what the dossier says, but i haven't tried it yet

Encountering this piranha and dont know what to do? dont worry, all you need is a baryonyx. Megapiranha is the most (Not really) worst water dino in ARK, crossing in rivers are the worst thing ever.

Use a baryonyx or a spino and they won’t stand a chance

When there's 3-4 or more of them,

THEY DO DOUBLE THE DMG.

WHY IS THIS A THING ANYWAY!?!

I HATE THESE! THEY ONCE KILLED MY CARNO I JUST TAMED LIKE 2 MINS AGO!

While everyone is talking about how annoying piranhas are let me tell you a secret, if you swim in water and piranhas are after you, find land and once they can’t get any closer to you try swimming beside them because they’ll try to turn to you with will slide them onto land and die which is basically free food (not guaranteed to work every time)

Kill then. If they are too powerful, swim away.

Player: *steps in water*

Every piranha within a 1000 mile radius:

Kills a fricking tamed Theri in the water, make sure you kill all of them with Bary before you cross it.

Just a quick question...why does Dododex say that they aren’t on Extinction when they’re definitely on Extinction? I steered my Snow Owl too close to water and got dismounted. Thankfully, my Owl had an Ascendant saddle, so he didn’t die by piranhas

I have 3 mortal enemies...

Terror birds

Compies
