Parakeet Fish School — Detailed Guide

The Parakeet Fish School is a swarm of small fish in the deeper ocean. It cannot be tamed, but it is dangerous to swimmers, and it is the key to taming a Megachelon.

Where to find it

In ASE it lives on Genesis Part 1, Genesis Part 2, Lost Island and Fjordur. It is notably frequent on Lost Island. Our ASA data also lists it on Genesis Part 1.

Uses

Its main use is luring. A Megachelon is tamed passively, and leading a Parakeet Fish School to it is part of that process.

Tips

  • Danger: each hit does 20 damage and ignores armor, and the swarm has 1,800 base health.
  • Tames: it also attacks nearby wild creatures and can kill unattended tames left on passive.
  • Boats: it no longer damages rafts or boats.
