welcome to my one million paragraph tip abt how to get a deinonychus

warning it is very detailed and will take u 500 years to read /hj

don’t try knocking these guys out bc 1. u can’t access their inventory (if wild) and 2. u can’t tame them that way anyways.

how u actually “tame” them is u have to steal their eggs. in fjordur they r slightly rare but r all over the broken meadows, and in valguero they r in the chalk hills and anywhere near there except beaches (and they r a LOT more common).

theres nest spawns in some location with hard to see eggs in them but their red glow gives them away. incase u have never seen the eggs before, they r mostly a dark blue with grayish green spots on them.

i recommend using a flyer but using a land mount or even being on foot is actually pretty possible (but u need to have a lot of movement speed bc they r super fast). ive only used a flyer before so ill only explain the flyer part.

if ur early game a pteranodon should prob be the easiest. otherwise a argy or wyvern should be good bc argies can pick up the deinonychus and wyverns r pretty tanky and deal a lot of damage. for me, i usually find the deinonychus gang somewhere else so i just scoop in with a ptera and fly away. if the deinonychus gang is at the nest leading them away is prob the best option bc there might be a high level which means better egg. but if u cant for some reason, or theres too many low levels or levels u dont want then u should kill them. but do remember they have a bleed attack and can latch onto ur dino

hatching the almighty chicken is very similar to a wyvern. i believe they even have the same temperature requirements. 9-12 standing torches or campfires should be enough (depending on where u r). if ur using dimetrodons then i think 1 or 2 can incubate it as long as they have high melee. as for air conditioners, i actually don’t know

and raising them is basically the same as any other carnivore. their saddle unlocks around level 25, so they r the perfect starter tame. and enjoy ur aggressive chicken
