Never get caught in a ditch in the rain while trying to free your jeep from the mud. They will find you, spit at you, and then eat you.

Fists can easily knock a Dilo out. There spit can help you hunt or defend you from other survivors. In groups of 3 or more they are dangerous.

First playing ARK:
"OH SHIT A DILO RUN"

100 in game days later:
"Dafuq is this piece of shit trying to do"
*Rex murders it and it's family*

A good first defensive game. Their acid attack slows all dinosaurs and can be a lifesaver early to mid game.

Alone not very affective but I once had a group of 7 and they took out a carno with easy as well as other aggressive creatures

Put a bunch of stone on them and put them on your roof on aggressive and you have a spit turret

Should start taming these as they are the technically the first dino in the kibble chain.

It's better to tame a male and female to produce eggs in order to make kibble for a dodicurus or an ankylo. Those are good for collecting stone or flint and metal.

This is a very over looked tame. I have a pack of 10 and they were all tamed at 150s. Set them all on a lvl 105 rex to actually get them killed to decrease my tame cap. And they murdered the rex lol

When you go to tame one, make sure they aren't in a pack. They may not seem that intimidating, but in a small pack, they are very dangerous.

Don't bother with Tranq Arrows for these guys. They're easily knocked out with a club, and not a problem to keep knocked out with whatever narco berry's you can find.

If you have a shield, it can be used to block the Dilo's ranged attacks.

Personally, I keep a pack of lv 100+ Dilos that are my alpha squad. An easy and cheap way to take care of alpha raptors. My squad can take anything up to lv 90.

Killing these can drop a NERDY GLASSES SKIN at random

They're great for acting as bodyguards when you go to possibly dangerous areas, and for hunting since their spit slows animals down. Once I had 2 of mine attack a Carno while I shot at it, both survived and killed the carno.

Best rapper on ark. Spits so much fire, you'll be blind by the time they're done

They make a distinct aggro sound when they lock onto you, keep this in mind when one is nearby. They are easily outrun and with very little practice you can avoid their arcing acid attack. Spears/arrows to he head are very effective

For an egg farm, you need one male and as many female as you can afford, make wooden ramp and have them follow you into them and punch into position. Put them on passive. The eggs will roll down for an easy pick up.

When beginning the game with a little shack done always bring a dodo with you so whenever you encounter the dilo and it spits throw the dodo at it To activate dodo shield

Mainly used as a watchdog, set it to aggressive and wandering inside ur base walls set all else to neutral and as soon as dilo attacks sum thing then everything else will
