Now hear me out....

This little ditch has been a huge part of my Ark experience.

For beginners, this one is a very useful tame. I would suggest you to tame more than one of these. For instance, about two of these(tamed) were once able to kill 2 raptors(one of the raptor also recieved my spear for guidance).

I have 5 of them rn, guarding my base. These guys make a great team as a whole pack.

Extra tip:

If a dilo spits on you, hold up a torch and it wears off quicker. Do this if you don't wanna end up like Dr. Dodger
