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!

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...

When I was learning how to use and ride my xipho, I grabbed an ichthy (they’re my favorite aquatic) just to see what it would do. Little did I know that ichthy was about to become non existent. RIP lvl 6 ichthy 😔☹️

Tried to use ark asa oceans to conquer my thalassaphobia.

My expectation: Conquer my fear

Reality: 💀

This thing is literally a icthy on steroids its just as fast if not faster it has a insane pack buff (a mate boosted pair can tear apart alpha leeds, megs, and mosas) and they’re also good on there own if you have it imprinted and you have alot of skill and patience

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…

Eating a basi gives you an ungodly amount of oil.

These things can flop around on land. Beware

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

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

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!! 🪳🪳🪳

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)

These things are so annoying to tame but so worth it be ready cause you will be knocked off your tame high levels are way more dangerous

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.

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 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. 🪳🪳🪳
