Anglerfish

The Anglerfish is a deep-sea predator with a glowing lure on its head. Its light is bright enough to work as a lamp in dark water, and its bite is the best way to collect Silica Pearls from clams. That makes it a key tame for ocean bases and pearl farming.

Where to find it

It lives in the deep ocean on most ocean maps in both games: The Island, The Center, Ragnarok, Valguero and Genesis Part 1, plus Astraeos in ASA and Crystal Isles, Lost Island, Fjordur and Genesis Part 2 in ASE. It is notably common on The Center, and on Lost Island in ASE.

Taming

A knockout tame. Wild ones attack on sight, flee when hurt and come back, so use tranquilizer bolts or arrows. Feed it Raw Mutton, Raw Prime Meat or Regular Kibble. It needs no saddle, but its rider cannot use weapons.

Breeding

• Egg: hatches in about 5 hours.
• Temperature: anything from -75 to 75 °C, so almost any spot works.
• Growth: a baby matures in about 1.5 days at 1x.

Uses

• Silica Pearls: the top choice for harvesting them from clams.
• Angler Gel: its light draws in wild Anglerfish, which helps when farming Angler Gel.
• Light: it lights up a large area for deep-sea exploring.

Tips

Wear full SCUBA gear. Other deep-sea predators can join a fight at any time.
