ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
If you're looking for one of these on the island, go to the volcano. I found two of these things on opposite sides of the volcano.
They are found near the mountains on The Island, but it can be VERY DIFFICULT to find since there are many dangerous creatures that want to kill it. Sometimes you can spot one getting chased by a bunch of carnivores, it usually ends up dying. but generally they can outrun them.
Good luck and Godspeed 👍
Can no longer be picked up by Argents.
In Ark mobile, you can usually find one at the beach in The western Plains

Where are they located on the island?
They spawn SO RARE, like quetzal there spawn is very low in mobile esspecialy
Heres how to tame one in mobile
If you want to tame these guys go in the swamp destroy some trees for some rare mushrooms or open your free gift
And kill any creature that coud inter fear with your taming, and kill some creatures to make it force spawn and once spwned bola it and procced to to tranq/club or fists
And they ONLY preffer planet X seeds and Rare mushrooms when wild but when tamed they eat berrys.
And thank u for seeing my guid
I found some on the edge of the snow biome west side next to the place with the never ending war but be careful there are allos, rexes, raptors, scorpions, carnos, argies and sometimes a sarco but if you have a flying mount you’ll be right
I literally found a unicorn and 2 full black griffins on the map and couldn’t even find one of these
I mean come on, who hasn't wanted to go around on a giant prehistoric badass kangaroo?
Tip: use rare flowers to aggro it and lure it into a trap. Easy tame! Make sure to kill anything else that's around though as they'll aggro on you when you eat the flower aswell.
The procoptodon is a very useful creature in many ways
1. It's very fast on land, not so much in the water though.
2. It's jump is very useful (especially in Scorched Earth).
3. It can carry babies for transportation if needed.
4. A female Procoptodon gives an imprinting boost but only when it's mate boosted.
5. It deals decent damage and can push attackers back a good distance, especially small creatures like raptors and pegos.
6. Very good Rare mushroom and berry collector.
7. It's pouch is a passenger seat.
8. Pressing R3 will put a baby in the pouch but also take the baby out if needed.
These things are FANTASTIC travel mounts!!! Not only are they very fast by default, but they also have a very impressive jump that lets you literally launch across the land (and I’m 90% sure they don’t take fall damage because I’ve jumped off of mountains with them without getting a scratch). You can outrun just about anything! Not to mention that they also dish out decent damage, and their kick attack has great knock back, so if you time it right you can kill mobs without taking any damage yourself. AND they have really good stamina- it lasts for a long while and recharges super quickly.
Taming them is pretty easy. I recommend using an Argy to pick one up and then drop it in a trap, you can just use a 2x2 stone foundation and doorframes all around it. If you’re using the PC version, you can lure it to follow you into one with a rare flower, but it unfortunately doesn’t work on mobile. If you want one sooner (can’t get an argy saddle until level 60 or something), you can do what I did and have the trap up with doorframes on all sides except for one and then attack it, and try to herd it into the trap. This is pretty difficult to do though, not gonna lie. If it’s a lower level one you’ll probably have better luck with just using a bola and tranq. If you have soothing balm, I recommend using that, especially for higher level ones because it takes like an hour to tame otherwise, and the torpor goes down a bit quickly so you gotta babysit it. Otherwise, they’re really fantastic to have, especially early game! Not to mention SUPER fun to travel with, and super cute! In my opinion, anyway. If you like riding Beezelbufo, then you’ll love Procoptodon because it’s everything Bufo is but improved upon and easier to control.
Build a trap and lure it in with eating a rare flower! Just did it and worked great!
Found 2 in one day, and a third that escaped me earlier this week. All in the same location approx 29.7 65
Frozen tooth/ smugglers pass
On mobile they can be carried by Arges ( I’ve tried it and it works )
