8.0.4 UPDATE

Crassigyrinus ('crass-i-ji-rin-us', meaning "Thick Tadpole") is a small piscivorous prehistoric creature that lived during the early Carboniferous period in what is now Scotland, which was added in the 8.0.2 version. Crassigyrinus are nocturnal, which means they are active during the night and will sleep during the day. Babies measure 0.5 blocks long, while adults measure 1.8 blocks long.

A fossil version of the Crassigyrinus can be created by right-clicking a bio-fossil on the ground, which will create a random skeleton of a prehistoric creature with a small chance of it being a Crassigyrinus.

Real Life

Crassigyrinus scotius is known from the Limestone Coal Group of Early Carboniferous Scotland, with a possible specimen from West Virginia of the USA. As its limbs are basically useless, it likely spent much if not all of its life in a freshwater aquatic environment.

BEHAVIOR

Crassigyrinus are fast-moving territorial amphibians that live in water. Although they are intended to be fully aquatic, they can survive on land, albeit they cannot move. Crassigyrinus usually only attack you if provoked, but they will attack many other creatures on sight. They eat exclusively fish and other amphibians. They are predated by nearly every other, aquatic animal with the exception of the passive fish, Henodus and Plesiosaurus.

Crassigyrinus will interact with the bubble blower, and will chase toy balls, bringing up their mood significantly. They cannot however interact with scratching posts or tethered logs.

Adult Crassigyrinus can breed and lay eggs every five minutes if there is a male and female present. The breeding probability is handled by how many individuals are nearby.

TAMING

Crassigyrinus will automatically be tamed when hatched from spawn, as long as you are within 6 blocks of it hatching. If you fail to do this, they can be tamed from feeding (which raises their mood), or with a whip, although this will lower their mood. Tamed Crassigyrinus can be ordered with a Nautilus Shell.

FEEDING

Crassigyrinus is a piscivore, meaning it will only eat fish. Fish is the only thing the player can hand-feed to a Crassigyrinus. When eating from a feeder, though, they will not be able to distinguish meat from fish, and will eat it.
