Nautiluses are too unbalanced.

I'm unhappy with the fact that they spawn naturally and are easy to tame. But what I'm most unhappy with is that they grant infinite underwater breathing, which makes the conduit and potion of water breathing completely useless, since the player can also move quickly on a nautilus.
 
So, I propose, firstly, changing their infinite underwater breathing and making it so they simply slow down the air consumption underwater.
And secondly, making them a little harder to obtain. Maybe even having a Sniffer get their eggs (like I suggested with the Archaeopteryx).
 
This would provide more variety for the Sniffer, as well as more animals that are difficult to obtain early in the game.
 
And also making them untamable, so they can be saddled and ridden, but not tamed, so they swim away over time.

    Making them not need taming seems to go against your idea that they are too easy to get though it seems somewhat balanced with your sniffer idea, i think they way they are now is good though. Personally it only let me tame them with pufferfish but i dont know if it was just bugged, as the pufferfish are hard to get when fishing, if thats not how it is by default maybe it should be

    Yes, nautiluses can only be tamed with pufferfish, but I only needed two of them. I caught one with a fishing rod on my fifth try, and the other I immediately found in the ocean next to the nautilus.
    And now, from the very start of the game, I have a nautilus, which allows me to move underwater faster than the player, and I no longer have to worry about oxygen underwater, as the nautilus gives me infinite breathing space.
