Tips & Strategies
These guys r a super easy tame! Even if you are low level and haven’t unlocked the saddle yet, def tame it as it will be great protection for the base if smth strong comes. I have one called Barry and I take him everywhere!
Try to find a lone paracer since they roam in herds outside the swaps. Trying to knock a paracer out when it's near other paracers is an easy way to die.
Here are a few reasons why I would reccommend getting a Paracer for mid-game:
-Fairly easy to tame
-Great for harvesting thatch
-Higher level paracers have tons of health
-They deal a surprising amount of damage
-You can unlock the paracer saddle at lvl 41 and the platform saddle at lvl 50; The platform saddle is very useful as you can place things on it and it doesn't weigh down your paracer
Have fun!
The paracer apparently had the biggest Wong going of all the dinosaurs
I have built the ultimate wyvern killing factory with this guy. First I went and tamed one of these guys and got the platform saddle and built a house on it. So then I went to the wyvern place and put it there stole a wyvern egg and I had guns on the roof so it killed the wyvern. Then brought back down to my base and hatched it.

I don’t know if anyone else has experienced this but I tried taking one of these on my own with no trap, the parapet continuously fake ran away and then returned. I loaded over 90 tranqs in to it and it never got close to going down even on a boosted server. So use a trap, I died many times to bring you this information.
I have an idea on SE with this, so sense nothing attacks these guy get an anky on him, multiple refinerys, some fires for food, water, and a Adobe shelter. After that go to the badlands or mountains find metal that is safe of just kill everything near the metal and then mine away.
Your welcome (up if you liked I’m going to do this myself too)
Has a very poor turning radius so you can strafe in a circle whilst shooting darts/tranq arrows for an easy tame.
These guys give a good amount of prime so if you’re looking to tame a giga or a rex with prime these are a great way to get lots of prime meat. It’s also easy to kill one of these if you have a high level argie.
75 tranq arrows out of an apprentice crossbow for a level 145, my first tame above level 100 because I usually play on low difficulty. Very worth it
Amazing for soaking tek and heavy turrets
