Overview
The Tusoteuthis is a large aquatic carnivore that deals significant damage. It passively tames by feeding it Black Pearls during combat and excels as an underwater combat mount. It can airlift smaller mounts such as Achatina, Allosaurus, Amargasaurus, and Andrewsarchus for strategic transport.
This creature is primarily used for underwater dominance and structure damage, making it a strong choice for naval raids and deep-sea exploration.

More about taming the Tusoteuthis
Tame a Tusoteuthis passively by feeding it Black Pearls. Begin by luring it to attack a strong water mount, then feed the Black Pearls directly into its beak during the grapple. Raw Mutton also works but is significantly slower. About 157 Black Pearls are needed at level 150 on Official settings. The taming process takes around 26 minutes and requires 399 Narcotics.
