Combat
This section describes how to fight against the Alpha Leedsichthys.

General
The Alpha Leedsichthys has the increased movement speed and attack power that alphas typically possess. However, it is unique in that it's the only Alpha Creature that has less health than its regular counterpart. Because of this, it is relatively easy to kill and can be dispatched with a ' or ' without much risk. Be careful not to accidentally run into other aquatic predators.

Strategy
The Alpha Leedsichthys is as large as a normal Leedsichthys with an equally awful attack rate/turning radius- use a water mount and dispatch it with ease.

When lured to beachside, firearms may be utilized (though not recommended.)

Weaponry
Crossbows and TEK Rifles can be used to chip the Alpha Leedsichthys from a distance. As with most aquatic creatures, however, it is generally safer and more effective to use a mount.

Dangers
It is a natural boat destroyer. Like the Leedsichthys, it is capable of tearing down rafts if you don't see it coming, but it can do so even faster than regular Leedsichthys

It should be noted that, unlike the regular variant, the Alpha Leedsichthys can outspeed Motorboats.

Weakness
It has relatively low health, so high-damage mounts can kill it very easily.
