Roles:
————————————————————————————————
Resource Carrier
Since it has a 50% weight reduction on metal, metal ingots, crystals, obsidian, and stone, it is really great for carrying resources! It’s weight alone is a lot, meaning it could hold lots of stuff!
Player Killer
Due to the ability to hold most creatures, picking up humans in a PVP area and dropping them is real funny and helps you gain loot
Hunter
It can kill something while carrying it, making it really good for hunting! It’s speed allows it to not get hit, and it’s damage is high!
Dinosaur Transporter
It’s ability to carry most dinos, as I said before, is important for transporting tamed dinos to other places! Upgrade Stamina and sometimes Weight.
If you don’t have one, get one NOW. They are pretty easy to tame, and are great for transport and carrying things, whether it’s resources or creatures. Find them around mountains or in the snow. Pretty easy KO with tranq darts. The only problem is that they’re kind of slow! Thanks for reading!
Argy's are a great tame to get, if you get a saddle from a drop at a low level, immediatly get yourself an argy, it has an INSANE amount of uses which I will list:
1.You can use it to harvest organic poly (use sword or club to kill penguins, transfer poly to argy, has less weight reduction than pela, but has more total weight than pela)
2(ARK mobile only). These guys(along with quetzals) are the only real way to transport dinos. Chronicling them costs essence (expensive) and there's no crypods. Tape and Pter can carry very small dinos only.
3. Metal gathering. These boyos have a reduction on ingots and straight up metal, and you can use it to carry an anky(which harvests and has more weight reduction for pure metal)
4. Combat. Due to their ability to pick up dinos, you can pick up high level dinos and carry them to a turret area (pvp) and players(more dangerous bc shotgun, must i say more? They can also attack the dino they are carrying, which lets you farm something like parasaurs easier. They can also be used to airdrop certain dinos *coughs in level 500 arthropluera* onto enemy bases or tanky dinos into turrets *coughs in lvl 300 carbenomys*
5. Taming. As mentioned in the combat section, they're able to carry dinos, which lets you pick up high level dinos*coughs in max lvl wild arthropluera(i like arthros, can you tell?)* And take them to a safer place(for you safari tamers) or a pen to ko them and tame them

Extremely effective for resource gathering. After you get a Pteranadon, taming an Argy is your next priority.
To tame an Argy, I highly recommend prime meat, but just regular meat will do. If it's a high level you can build a trap, but if your a real man like me, you can go up against it face to face
Do not use an Argy for flying distances. Argys are terribly slow and are made for resource gathering. Do the traveling with a pteranadon.
They reduce metal, crystal, obsidian, etc. weight by 50%, and the saddle also duals as a smithy. Eating corpses give them very good health Regen, and they don’t take much to knock out. They can also carry a lot of creatures up to a parasaur, and can attack the creatures while holding them. The only real disadvantage is they don’t fly fast.
Havent played in ark since flyer nerf, last time I saw the argy it was just a cheaper and expendable, worse but faster quetzal. Now it looks like a completely brand new creature, it looks so amazing now, and it has so useful again, and the fact that you regenerate stamina by eating corpse can make you fly forever. Truly a jack of all trades, I loved it before the nerf, now I love it again and I love it even more now
