As an early/mid-game player, I found one of these wandering around my base. Seemed like it was stalking me. Every time I tried to leave my base to gather resources, it got upset. Luckily, I had a raft in which I turned into a small ship. So, I hopped in my raft (fortunately I’m building on a beach) and shot it with a crossbow from a distance. My goal was to piss it off enough to swim out to get me, and lead it into a pack of megalodons. Lo and behold, I killed it with enough crossbow hits eventually as it swam.

This is minimum level 85 to tame.

Beer in your passive tame spot.

Approach and hold still when it turns to face you, after three animations you can walk up between it's front legs, it will take the beer..

Ear wiggle, good

Trunk swing, good

Head shake, good

Foot stomp, RUN

It helps to have some stone gates to run through to slow it down

They are not friendly. They arent nice. They are the embodiment of evil and will stare you down before charging over to kill you and everything you love

IMPORTANT NOTES FOR TAMING:

Each facial animation has a designated amount that increases the probability that the deino accepts the beer.

Trunk shake: 50%

Ear flapping: 35%

Head shake: 15%

All thats left is to calculate and approach the deino when the amount reaches 100 or over.

DO NOT APPROACH

If it does either of these animations

1. Ears folded back

2. Trunk rolls up to one side

Thats it.

EVIL HORRIBLE CREATURE. AGRO IS TEN TIMES WORSE THAN A THERIZINO THEY WILL FOLLOW YOU FOREVER.

THEY ARE AGRESSIVE, RHEY LOOK FRIENDLY BUT TRUST ME DO NOT GO NEWR THIS GUY (I learned the hard way)

Do not go near this thing. I promise you, it does not appreciate your presence.

I was exploring with my two morelltops i raised, i saw three of these, didn't know what they were. I walked up to see if they were aggressive. They are. Chased us miles away and cornered us, killing my camels. I got away with a plan for vengeance. Went into creative, found the gang, killed one, force tamed the other two. Bred those two until they gave me a baby I liked. Kill the parents. You killed my babies now I take yours, and kill you. >:(

they can knock you off your flyer!!

I thought these were friendly.

Instead, they killed me and my harmless little monkey, Sugar :(

Do NOT mess with them unprepared, I saw the same two that killed me battle a wild high level rex and WIN.

Y'all please prepare if you want a fight. If you want to run, do it before they aggro you.
