one of the easiest beginner tames and is generally the first dino i end up taming. generally not a good dino for battle if that's what you're looking for, but it works great as an early-game mount and gatherer (especially for berries), and its turret mode can be very helpful to stay on alert (though it becomes annoying.)

for taming, the parasaurolophus is entirely passive toward you. when harmed, it will run away rather than attack. due to its speed of running away, especially early game, i highly recommend using a single bola to keep it in place. you can then hit it in the head with a wooden club until it knocks out, or use a slingshot or tranq arrows but i find that unnecessary. then just load up the inventory with berries, i usually use mejos, and a few narcoberries. super easy tame!
