these things can grab you and carry you around till your dead… *sniff* learnt that the hard way.
Beware all who dare cross these nasty sardines and live to tell the tale. If ye be dumb and cross these ungodly creatures of the sea. Ye be warned all tamed beasties shall die a most horrible death and ye along with it for it shall send all who tread tbeyre water's to Davy Jones locker. If by some miracle ye wishes to capture this beast build a trap and lure it in with something fast. Do not tame with a club. Use trank arrows, darts or harpoon. Forget saving ure lure. Or it be the locker for you!
I use a Deinosuschus to tame these little fish. Its tanky and you can spin around with a crossbow in your hands! You can use Biotoxin to keep them asleep and feed it superior kibble.
Don’t go close to them. Please pray for my dead frog. :(
Just a reminder they are officially in the game.I learned that the hard way…
Tried to use ark asa oceans to conquer my thalassaphobia.
My expectation: Conquer my fear
Reality: 💀
These things are already one of the fastest water creatures which is already bad enough, but they also come in groups, maybe to like 3 or 4. Also they have the bleed effect, the bleed effect takes 5% of your health, doesn’t seem like alot but 5% is a whole lot. learned the hard way :(
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
These things can flop around on land. Beware
if you die to these things. they’ll be all in a frenzy with ur body when going back to get ur stuff so it’s best to say goodbye to all ur loot
Took a couple of these groups out with my lvl 104 archelon last night. Last group almost took e out but survived.
Btw these guys do NOT care if you are on land or not they will grab you if you are to close to the water
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
My master craft saddle and itchy… need I say more
