Don't let it die. It is so good to have available at all times because of all it's uses. use it to tame lower and mid game creatures because it's tanky I would recomend upgrading stamina but health the most! (The last thing you want is a good creature you have dead) when you have lots of health and stamina like 3500 health and 1000 stamina then do mele damage a bunch. use this guy for metal, crystal, and obsidion runs to the mountains and back to base. Your very first metal runs and a lot in the future too will be sooo helpful to use this guy.I hope this helped..
