Tips & Strategies
This is the easiest of the wood gatherers to obtain. I'm a solo player on ragnorak. They don't wake up as fast as beavers and don't take as long as mammoths. It's a bit of a distance, but if you have a ptera I'd say find the highest level Thorny Dragon that you can find so it doesn't wake up too fast, then fly to the highlands and kill a sheep or two and mutton tame it.

I have 12 on platforms 4 pillars high scattered around my base. I have an issuse with dino spawns in the base. So they act as a long range needle launcher. Weigh down with sand because its weight isnt affected by the dragons buff. Set all to long range aggressive and u have a protected base. Add a few plant X for added assurance. I no longer have spawn problems. Found a ready to tame terror bird today too pretty neat.
