As of update 280.130, arthros can now apparently damage stone, metal, and tek structures with their bite - Assumedly due to their acidic blood. This means that, in theory, several could be used as a sort of sapper unit to aid in raiding or destroying an enemy tribe's base. This same update makes them more susceptible to ranged attacks and explosives, though, so it is recommended to only deploy them once any turrets or defenders have been destroyed or incapacitated.

reasons why YOU should tame an arthro
#1 these guys hit like a TANK
Not only do they have good melee (if u level it to have good melee) but they deal torpor which is great for taming in my opinion.
#2 they can destroy tek metal and wood structures
I play on a VERY wealthy server so metal bases are not rare at all but I haven’t seen much tek yet my arthro is very useful especially when raiding. You can easily get into and base (but thatch) useing this tame.
#3 other animals don’t attack it
If you are riding an arthro you will not be attacked by any wild animals great for running strong cave. And animals will not attack an arthro back if it attacks a wild animal.
#4 the arthro spits acid
The arthro has a turrent mode which allows it to shoot acid at enemy tames players and wild animals this ability makes it good for sitting on a rock and firing downward at your target like a poisonous Erie turrent.
We’ll hope this helps people im making more on other helpful tames -swiftwind9105
Very helpful, for caves and kill whatever you want! Because nothing will attack you. I bite a pteradodon he make he animation (ready to fly) but he stay on place and look at me! Same for giga I throw my poison, he too make his animation, but him also make his animation but nothing happens!!! (but just don't stay too near him, if he attack anything and you are near you too will takes the damages because he have a huge hit box) 🔺for other people see this!
Well look what I have just discovered, I think no one talks about this, but when You have an arthro and an argy you can actually make a freaking gun shop with it. First Let the arthro on aggressive and wandering (will also work even not in wandering), then ride your argy and swoop the arthro and there you got yourself an auto firing machine. Can also work with any flying creatures and non-flying creatures.
