They are very underrated. While they aren’t great on land in the water they have a stun locking tail spin which can stun those eels and even Alpha Megalodons and are one of the best aquatic mounts. There is also an Aberrant Variant of the Baryonyx which spawns on Aberration, Valguero, Crystal Isles, and Fjordur. The Aberrant Baryonyx is better than the regular Baryonyx

best caving mount for most land caves.

tamed easily with tranqs, no trap needed, just shoot when attacking another creature. do not approach in water due to spin attack that stuns you. this attack is very useful when tamed and combined with another strong aquatic tame set to attack target, such as a sarco.

These are great for doing fish meat runs. Most water mounts such as Basils, eat fish meat as fast as they can gather it. Others such as spinos simple are a pain to use in underwater combat due to turn radios and hit box. Baryonyx gathers fas much fish meat as a spino, but better due to its stun ability and unlimited oxygen and maneuverability. Just swim right up to a megladon, stun it, chomp. Rinse and reappear. Best at fish meat gathering in my opinion. Never underestimate their stun ability!!

These things, as said, are incredible! They are good both on land and in the water, they are recommended for almost all the caves and only need simple fish meat to tame. A youtuber named Schwallbe has an insanely good one ( 10000 + hp 300 - 400 + atk. ) They are powerful, spawn singularly allowing you to tame it without dealing with others, and have, on brutal, high levels and lots of good stats to accompany it! Get one soon. Also, they can be bolaed, meaning you don’t really have to worry about getting hit! They take 5 - 7 arrows on easy, and yes, that may go up to something like 25 - 45 on brutal, but if we’re being honest, it’s worth the hustle.

This dino is actually pretty good. People call it a temù spino, but it doesn’t deserve that! To tame this guy, you are going to need tranq arrows, crossbow/bow, and a large bear trap. 1. Aggro the baryonyx onto you. 2. place the trap and get the baryonyx stuck in it. 3. start shooting tranq arrows at it. 4. feed it raw fish meat, raw prime fish meat, or cooked fish meat or cooked fish meat. (WARNING: ANY OTHER TYPES OF MEAT DONT WORK)

You can also use the preferred kibble to tame these guys quick.

I just tamed my first baryonyx. After seeing all the video in internet saying they are king of seas took it for the first time in water and saw jelly fishes so went near them. Then end of story. I was happily started the morning to harvest metal and Crystal with him .Sad He’s gone now.

Please don’t ever go near the jelly fishes with any Dino. I can’t even take back the saddle now .
