A good method to obtain Stalker Teeth is to drop several Metal Salvage near the creature, as they sometimes leave behind a single tooth after picking the Salvage up. With two or three piles close to each other the Stalker will swim back and forth between them almost indefinitely. Other methods for gathering teeth include placing Camera Drones near a Stalker, letting a Stalker attack a Seamoth or a Prawn Suit, crashing into Stalker with a Seamoth or punching them with a Prawn Suit, or throwing objects at them with a Propulsion Cannon. One can also use a Grav Trap to hold the Stalkers near the metal scrap and collect the teeth as they fall. Note that the crashing or punching will usually kill the Stalker in two or three hits. The game appears to cap the number of Stalker Teeth that can be present in an area, most likely for stability reasons: if the player observes Stalkers failing to drop teeth in scenarios where they should, this cap has been reached and it will be necessary to find the teeth that have already spawned and pick them up. As soon as the number of teeth in an area is reduced below the cap (the player's inventory and storage not being counted), Stalkers will start dropping them again. A Scanner Room can help with finding them. A nearby Stalker dropping a tooth is indicated by a loud cracking sound, as if breaking a bone, and a jingling music cue. The audible range is quite short (~50 meter radius). Stalker teeth glow faintly in the dark, reminiscent of the early build Quartz before they received their current model. If one wishes to roam Stalker-infested waters without directly engaging with them, doing so at night makes it easier to spot teeth on the seabed. It is not possible to obtain Stalker Teeth by killing Stalkers.

Data Bank Entry

Extended analysis of acquired dental samples has been completed. Samples matched to species designated 'stalker'. Stalker teeth exhibit extraordinary lightness and strength, and contain only trace amounts of calcium. The edges show signs of wear, and are studded with metal flakes, providing evidence that the stalkers chew on metal deposits in order to sharpen their teeth.
