Leedsichthys : Giant filter fish. Ride in its mouth like submarine?
Leedsichthys was a 30 ft long filter feeder prehistoric fish. IT only plankton to surivie.

I think this would be a great isdea to have this fish in the game a as submarine where you sit in its mouth which can hold an air-pocket to breath.
The "saddlle" would be a seat in the mouth and include a glass window at the mouth opening to see.

Personally I like this idea better than a Liopleurodonthat secretes special slime so its rider can hold its breath longer.

Change the Liopleurodon so that yo ucollect the slime (like the snail slime) and can eat it to gain a temp increaeed oxygen bar.

Let the Leedsichthys serve as the "submarine"

Thoughts?

Edit: had wrong fish name changed to Leedsichthys

Here is a picture compairing the fish toa diver:

That's probably the most idiotic concept I've read on these forums. And there's no shortage of dumb ideas here.

Please explain why that is dumb?
Makes more sens than the Liopleurodon which secrets slime that you absorb for oxygen.

There are a number of creatures that carry their young in their mouth. So the idea has real world examples.

with a glass window ??? were talkin fantasy here but cmon, to even think a wild animal will keep a foriegn object that prevents it from closing its mouth AND keeping an airtight seal so you can survive...................

They are making suba gear which I am all for once it arrives. But the DEVs are obviusly trying to add a sea creature to mount for longer underwater exploration. I personally dont like the Liopleurodon design of secreting mucus.
I think a creature that can hold you in its mouth with air makes more sense.

Why not? No different from placing a bit in a horses mouth.
A horse cant close its mouth with a bit in.

Look the window wouldnt be a "windshield" just a thin strip so the creature can mostly close its mouth.

Second, what do you mean a creature wouldn't "allow" it?

You think a raptor would "allow" a person to put a saddle on it and ride around.
Please don't make a stupid statement like it wouldnt "allow" it.

none of the creatures would allow a saddle on it.

Also, I envision the window folding away when not in use as a submarine so the creature can eat and close its mouth as normal.

This could physically be done today with a whale.

The hardest part would be keeping a seal. but it doesnt need to be 100% airtight, just long enough to provide longer dives.

please please stop talking....................... theres dozens of animals you can train to wear a saddle.............. how many let you sit in their ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ mouths and hold a strip of glass firmly enough to creat any kind of seal at all ??!!

and you accuse me of " stupid " comments...................

theres is NO WAY ON THIS GREEN EARTH OR IN ANY KNOW UNIVERSE PRESENT OR FUTURE YOUR DUMBASS IDEA WILL EVER BECOME A REALITY.

In what world is 30 feet gigantic ? (It was btw only 20 feet) That's only about the size of a white shark, but not as thick. The only thing you would get into his mouth is your head

You are just wrong.

The animal has no choice in the matter.
The saddles and bits, and whatever else are fastened to them without consent.

There is no "allowing it"

It's mouth is still far too small lol

You do know how a fish breathes right? Doing this would require the fish to "hold its breath" underwater just so you don't have to. Seems a little counterproductive to me.
