Tips & Strategies
I see a lot of comments bad mouthing smaller mounts for combat, doesn’t really make sense to compare a small mount with a red for one you cannot shoot from a rex or hide it during combat or a raid, two a rex cannot run as nearly as fast as a wolf 3 doesn’t take a saddle doesn’t mean it’s useless try hitting me with your Rex while I sprint off turn around and snipe you off the back a passive Rex dies where he stands an neutral Rex dies in a trap, try out running a wolf good luck
More Direwolf Utility Tips
Vicious and lightning fast, the Dire Wolf is a great all-around mount for adventuring and attacking. I highly recommended to bring packs of Dire Wolves for any hostile situation. Whether it be kill Alphas, or raid bases, it's size, agility, and damage make for a deadly beast.
Direwolves are easily my favorite tame on the island, they are extremely good battle creatures especially in packs. Breeding and imprinting (which I did) as well as leveling them up means you can take on nearly everything. It’s extreme mobility and small size means you can use it for most caves, as well as collecting tons of chitin and meat along the way. This is a 9/10 tame for me, due to its relatively easy taming process (bola then tranq) and its extremely versatile usage.

People have been saying these are a good tame for early game, but they aren’t. Why? BECAUSE THEY LIVE IN THE NORTH ZONE, YOU DO NOT EVER GO THERE IN EARLY GAME. EVER. Also, hide is actually an easy resource to get in early game, they are just good for farming pelt, and that is difficult to get.
