Okay, so this thing eats any fish meat... then why does it eat me?

Dont fight it in the water unless you enjoy being stun locked and drowning to death.

Keep in mind that if they are even stepping in water they are able to do the stun attack. So if you are in the swamp and you see a bary then avoid it or kill it fast enough that it doesn't stun both you and your tame resulting in you getting dismounted.

When simply crossing a river, a lvl 85 killed me and my 9 raptors. I was coming back from hunting with this raptor pack, shredding paracers, therizinosaurs, and other very strong creatures. All it took was one bary in water to just stun lock all 9 of them to death, and they couldn’t fight back. I respawned and managed to kill the bary on land with my Iguanadon, a quick and easy fight, took it out in a few hits.. The difference between land and water with these guys is insane. That water stun is no joke😭😭😭 I can’t even be mad, but Rest in Peace to Scamp, Atronach, Pyro, Smiley, Hectic, Raptor, Raptor, Raptor, and Raptor.

Lost 6 raptors to a Baryonyx stun in the shallow end of a river, a and a swathe of piranhas.

RIP to Mars, Mercury, Io, Venus, Neptune, and Pluto.

NEVER and I mean NEVER FIGHT IN WATER. They will stun and all you can do is wait as you see this thing kill your lv 132 triceratops. That has killed rexs. Rip Trixie the triceratops Jan 2020- Mar 2020.

Can be carried by an Argie...

Can we talk about the fact that I just saw one of these guys kill and eat a spino of the same level both at full health before the fight 🤔🤔

(I play on mobile) ok so I just started a new ark world and I have a pretty good start, I have a moschops and a few other little dinos, but a baryonyx is super close to my base, should I tame it? Or should I kill it?

Only eats fish? This thing just ate a trike.
