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.

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.

Fun fact: The trilobites appeared during the Cambrian explosion and was one of the most successful lifeforms on the planet. Nature had to try and wipe them out about 3 times and it took the most deadly mass extinction in the history of our planet to wipe them all out. The Permian Extinction also known as "The Great Dying"

In mobile you can find these in the bay in Herbivores Island

These things give you Chitin, silca pearl, oil, and sometimes black pearl. These things are found on beaches and in deep waters.

They seem to spawn in the south of the standard island map, usually near the water on a sandy beach at dusk and dawn

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.

Where do you find these in mobile?
