Overview
The Sabertooth Salmon is a small aquatic carnivore found in freshwater and oceanic environments. It serves as a mobile fish basket for passive taming of other aquatic creatures, allowing players to safely transport and tame fish without direct interaction. This makes it invaluable for setting up underwater taming operations.
It can be airlifted by Quetzal or Karkinos for fast deployment to remote water locations.
