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.

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

If you see these big fish at a low level when swimming do not go near them because they are massive, aggressive sardines called xiphactinus which will speed towards you and gobble you up. Thanks and gl!! 🪳🪳🪳

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

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

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 😃

Do not tackle these with a pelegornis. I got knocked off and had to watch this fish swim by with my bird in its mouth. I hot the pelegornis back after I piked the fish. Great graphics.

If you are going to hope to tame this sea demon, at least make it worth your trouble and tame a 140 or higher. Use three stone gateways and a metal bill board. You’ll understand why we need a bill board later. Get on an Ichthiosaurus and if you don’t have swim goggles yet (like me😔), swim blindly until you see something fast chasing you and/or you hear a low growl. After that, don’t swim too fast or else you will lose them, but swim into your trap and leave your Ichthiosaurus behind. Say your goodbyes and get out the trap from underneath the billboard. Enclose them all in reinforced gates. Kill the ones you don’t want, and start to tranq the Xiphactinus slowly, or it will die before any torpidity kicks in. Don’t expect much because if you use arrows to tranq, it dies about 60% of the time. If you’re lucky and manage to tuck it in bed and say “Good night”, then use exceptional kibble; it’s way easier to make than the purple kibble because you don’t need prime meat jerky. After that, keep up the trap to tame another; I highly recommend taming another because the pack buff with this is insane and you can bring alpha MOSASAURS to shame.

It is NOT a pregnancy. They lay eggs like frogs.

It has high torpor so lure it to shallow water and trap it there, use darts. Arrows may likely jill it before it KO’s. It prefers superior kibble. Takes about 6 to tame a level 110 so scale it from there. Hope this helps!

You can tame these without a trap. Use a tanky mount (I used a high level Deinosuchus), single out the one you want to tame, and bring plenty of Tranqs, a crossbow, and preferably a SCUBA tank. You can shoot off of your mount to knock it out. When its torpor starts to rise it will not attempt to flee which is helpful in the taming process. Note: MAKE SURE you single out the one you want out, if there is more than one you and your mount will get absolutely shredded.

One day I decided to go for a swim and saw this small fish swimming towards me. When it for closer I realised it wasn't a little fish but a big unfriendly fish..

just watched a wild pack of these absolutely MELT an alpha meg in under 30 seconds. help

If your xiphactinus goes on land and you can't get it back into the water press the jump button on your controller/keyboard to jump back into the water. 🪳🪳🪳

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)

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.

These damn things ran down my Angler and I until it was completely out of stamina. Managed to get to the water area of my base, where my beaver tried to help. Poor fella was dragged around the water until I could come rescue him.

So if you're hunting for silica pearls, bring a LOT of security tames.

These creatures while tamed and wild can pick up other creatures up to a sarco including argies pteranodons and the pelagornis

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.

These are pretty easy to tame, I didn’t even trap one I just had one attack my basilo near the shore and they don’t torpor run so that’s helpful.
