Mantis Shrimp — Detailed Guide

The Mantis Shrimp is a small territorial crustacean added to ASE with the Aquatica expansion. It cannot be ridden, but you can carry it, and while you do it cuts your oxygen drain underwater in half.

Where to find it

It lives on the Aquatica map.

Taming

A passive tame, similar to a Hesperornis. Kill fish and drag their corpses to it. Since a later patch it can also be tamed with Monodon Horns.

Breeding

  • Egg: hatches in about 7 hours 56 minutes.
  • Temperature: 25 to 30 °C.
  • Growth: a baby matures in about 21 hours at 1x.

Uses

A diving helper. Carried on a survivor, it halves oxygen loss underwater, which makes longer dives possible early on. It drops Chitin and Raw Meat.
