Not sure if anyone has used them for this but considering they can be tamed very early their damage can get pretty high as they level up with you taking it bigger and bigger dinos. My First tame chompy has bin with me from the start upgrading in order melee, health, weight and stamina. Chompy is lvl 164 now and has taken out everything that's come at us raptors, carnos, rexs, suchos and megs. He goes where i go.
