You can find these at herbivore Island around the edges in the water! Hit da cool button so people can get pearls!

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.

They spawn near herb island if you wanted to know

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.

Keep the pearls. You'll thank me later.

These are tameable but not breedable. To tame, put down a fish basket by it and capture it. Then go to your base and put the basket on your hotbar then click it. It will be on your floor and friendly. Since they aren’t breedable, they are a bit useless but that’s how you tame them.

All you need is a spear or pike and you have a good source of silica pearls,black pearls,and chitin st low levels.

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

In Abberation, you can use a fish basket to tame one of these.

YOU CAN NOW TAME THIS THING!!!!

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

On the left side of the island map, there is a bit that looks a bit like a crooked finger. First of all, you can wall off the part that connects it to the rest of the island and turn the entire finger into your base. It is extremely safe and the only predators there are ichthyornises and dilos. Second of all, at the part where it connects to the rest of the island, there is a small pond surrounded by rocks and in that pond a ton of trilobites spawn. I made my base on this finger and made a chitin farm with the pond. Do with this knowledge what you will.

If you look for these guys look by ocean beaches Not lake beaches hoped this helped

80 points   🔧 Utility   Feb 26, 2021   Report

I have recently discovered that these are by far the most valuable tame for any level of player.

Why you ask? Try taming 1 and then put anything at in it's inventory and see what happens ;) also you don't have to feed them AT ALL

Beware I brought a Rex to fight it but my rex died in deep water

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