Careful when taming, this beast is a sniper. Make sure you have cover before attempting to get this thing down. It doesn't take much tranqs. However, you can be easily be shot to death. Once you get out of its melee range, he will lean forward and melt you out with his "laser". He isn't the best in any particular aspect, Just a regular tame, like a combat parasaur. If you still decide to get one, careful when going in water! This is NOT an ocean guy. In my opinion, he could be used on some sort of base protecting, but he will 100% get shreded by anything bigger than a carno. Also, It is terribly slow. Although its stamina is crazy high, the laser beam drains a lot of it. About its saddle, it is very cheap, unlockable at 47, I think. Good luck, and remember: don't get close, get cover and have some tranqs on you!
