It all depends, sometimes you’ll find a bunch of them, sometimes you won’t find any. They spawn very frequently near large masses of shallow water— but the water must connect to the ocean. I find them in the mouth of the rivers near shallow water. More often then not they spawn in the south or near the red obelisk if you pace yourself towards the snow biome you will definitely encounter a few along the beach.

When u need one u will never find one
When I was on like level 20 in single player i used to find these guys everywhere, and i thought they were only useful for a handful of chitin. Now I’m on level 88 and i actually NEED black and silicia pearls and oil I haven’t seen one in months.
Kill on site they give chitin oil and pearls when you need them they disappear
Use a hatchet or megatherium to harvest for max silica pearls and oil. Gives about a stack of chitin with a primitive metal hatchet and loads with the mega.
All you need is a spear or pike and you have a good source of silica pearls,black pearls,and chitin st low levels.
Need oil kill it then to get oil
Most people don’t seem to know this, but they can be found in large numbers in the snow area on the island. Personally, I was at the area where it was ice turning to regular grass, and I saw around 6 just walking around there, but sadly I couldn’t harvest them because there was also a pack of rexes and carnos, and it wouldn’t be worth it. -Zakiel
I wanna tame one :]
who doesn't want one?
On the island .. the bottom left island. Coords aprox 80 lat, 35 long. Usually a common first spawn place. All around that little u shaped island
They always spawn in packs of 5 so make sure to leave no trilobite unfound
