Tidepup (Large) — Detailed Guide

The large Tidepup is the grown-up form of the Tidepup in ASA, an amphibious mount about the size of a Thorny Dragon. It is a support creature first: most of its kit heals the rider and nearby allies.

How to get one

Wild adults cannot be tamed. Tame a small Tidepup and it evolves into this form through good deeds, mainly by healing you and your creatures. Bred babies are another route.

Breeding

It lays eggs. An egg hatches in about 5 hours, and the baby matures in about 1.5 days at 1x.

Uses

  • Healing: it heals itself and then allies within 25 meters, and it can keep an ally from dropping below 25% health for a few seconds.
  • Water travel: it swims well and gives the rider infinite oxygen.
  • Saddle: the Tidepup Saddle unlocks at level 36.

Tips

If a wild large one turns on you, slow it with a Chain Bola or a Large Bear Trap and finish it from range.
