Baryonyx are commonly found around rivers, swamps, and shorelines, where they can be safely lured onto land, trapped, and knocked unconscious from a protected position before being fed fish-based food. They make fast, versatile mounts with strong land and water mobility, weapon use while riding, and unlimited oxygen. Their underwater tail spin can stun many aquatic creatures, making them valuable for underwater travel, combat, taming support, and cave exploration. Avoid fighting them in water, as their stun attack can quickly disable you and your mount; instead, use high ground or obstacles to keep your distance.
