Alpha squids are the strongest alpha in the game they have the most hp and damage increase per level and the slight fact that they grab any tame that isn't a basilo or another squid makes them even worse.

Scary big death squid

That will kill your favorite mount if nothing to grab onto

I Just Discovered something about its taming method. You do not have to use your creatures to feed. I saw it grab a wild stegosaurus and killed it. During the process I only had 6 pearls so I fed the tuso those

On the center on asa I saw a ton at the bottom of the map where the spawn map has the red square

So I was hunting some of these to find a alpha and I learned this the hard way that you should never battle these right by the edge of the world border because I was fighting one Against the border, he grabbed me, and then he shoved me out of the world that instantly destroyed me and I lost all my stuff. Please up if this has happened to you

WATCH OUT MAKE SURE IT IS NORMAL TUSO NOT ALPHA

R.I.P buddy

I may be wrong but on Crystal Isles I think you can find them in the weird lighting/snow biome place and there are these balls of water near the ground and sometimes if you get too close they will reach out and grab you. :x

If you don’t have cheats hide and pray it won’t find you

I found almost a dzn by accident while searching for pearls. I was on the EXTREME western edge of ragnarok & just kept going down over the next ridge... Be sure to have a backup SCUBA tank before you dive down tho.

There is always one south of carno island but becarful it likes to hide behind the rocks down there i learned the hard goodbye lvl 215 sarco

It literally says it hugs you to death.

they can follow you to the surface (example: in the water under red obelisk)

Be warned the ink cloud was changed, it now rapidly depletes the stamina of any tame caught in it and riders, including basils.

I was a fool.

I know the danger surrounding these guys but, NOOOO! I charged towards it with my dolphin, Karru 'cuz it swam away and we chased it. It turned towards us and gave us a huge squid hug. I panicked when I saw Karru's health being sucked off like hell. I avenged him but, it just farted us ink and got away.

I got attacked by a lvl 125 Megalodon and somehow survived with my otter, Minky. I swam up towards the Herbivore Island while grieving for my foolishness and loss of Karru. Our quest to tame a Dunkleosteus went disastrous but, I have managed to tame one with another dolphin I named Proeta.

Guys, BEWARE! DON'T BE FOOLISH ENOUGH TO TRY AND FIGHT THESE GUYS! DO NOT BE A FOOL LIKE ME!

I hate it when I'm looking to explore or find black pearls at the sea floor with my lvl 20 Ples, a Tuso would appear right in my face, giving me very little time to dart out of my death. Just like the rocks near Herbivore Island. Imagine I was chased by a Tuso and the rock slaps my face. 0.0

Atleast I have a Basilo to farm its black pearls, because it's immune to grabs.

On the center you can usually find them in the ocean around the redwoods or around the underwater bubbles

To be perfectly honest with you I found a tuso on easy ark mobile while riding my igthy I killed but and thought I should kill a ammonium which causes rage effect, rip Issy

Most epic moment I’ve ever had with a tuso- thyla and its rider leaping across a deep river, I spring up and my pursuing friend captures the whole thing on video.

Out of the river a mass of tentacles rises and grabs the jumping thyla and drags it to the bottom of the sea, never to be seen again

If you run into one of these while scuba diving, just remove your tank and drown. Save yourself the humiliation

If you find this with a friend knock him out take the better gear you "generously" let him have and swim!
