The picture makes them look small.

They are not.

these things can grab you and carry you around till your dead… *sniff* learnt that the hard way.

Believe it or not, this creature can go on LAND

Hesperornis and icthyornis of any level will deal max damage against xiphactinus and 1 hit it.

Beware if this when you get brave and jump out of water to attack birds...

RIP 145 xiphactinus...

This thing in a nutshell

Wild = dangerous

Tamed = good mount

Glass cannon

Decent map traverser

can be used in boss fight arenas (thats messed up bro)

Just a reminder they are officially in the game.I learned that the hard way…

These things can flop around on land. Beware

Don’t go close to them. Please pray for my dead frog. :(

Eating a basi gives you an ungodly amount of oil.

It killed MrPickleRex whom was level 156. From what I've experienced, they usually travel in groups and can lead Megalodons to you. Also as said by numerous people they are not small. They're about the size of a small bus or a truck.

Let it munch on your mosa and basi while you blast with arrows or harpoon. They won't run when torpidity gets high and will regen health quickly while attacking your tame. They starve in a few minutes, no narcs needed. 12-14 superior kibble for 150 on 1x

Yep definitely not small I got gang banged by 3 it’s not fun after that ran into o block and they killed my mf pteranodon

They can jump out of water and even onto land for a little bit but they cant stay on land for too long or else they will take damage overtime (which is percent based)

This dolphin looking monster can not only knock you off a tame, a lvl 90 decided he wanted my argy more...drug him away while I was eaten x.x gg stupid fish, I did not see it coming.

If you are on the center you can find tons of these in-need-of-a-dentist fish around the beaches of the redwoods. Hope this helped 😃

Tame a high level turtle and let this thing munch on that while you knock it out. Watch out you don’t kill it as it doesn’t torpor run and heals quickly. I call them sardines, although they are definetly not sardine sized hahaha

Just kite it to a beach and itll start to flop, use a longneck and tranqs, easy knock out and relatively safe, no traps needed for this one

I remember taking a Tussa my baso started to attack it it was on low-ish health then when i saw this thing I freaked out and it killed the tussa and my baso really quickly and about killed me! Thank god I survived with my argy that was above the surface

Saw three of them near Herbie Island and thought my 11K HP Shark would be fine. I BARELY got out of there! It didn't even seem like they were losing health😵‍💫. I had to swim to the surface just so I could shoot them. I was less than 700 health 😩. Whats with these things.

DO NOT APPROACH WITH BARYONYX OR OTHER SMALL MOUNT!!! IT CAN GRAB YOUR MOUNT AND THEN ITS PACKMATE WILL GRAB YOU.
