Excellent Dino for caves. Nimble and can get into caves easily.

They are the Raptors of the Water.

These guys are great for cave runs just find a cave and it is small enough to fit in caves and strong enough to protect you up to be so people can see

Never ever ever take one of these guys on with a pteranadon even if your friend tells you to. These Dino's can knock you off your mount and stun you for ten seconds, this is no dillo blinding attack when stunned you cannot do anything at all except watch him eat you and your dino.

They are carried by argys (atleast I think in mobile) up so more people can see

The dossier didn't lie, they regenerate a small portion of their health just by killing a fish (even without it having harvesting on).

If yours is getting really low on health, just find a nearby Coel cluster. It'll regenerate health incredibly fast by killing them all.

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 take around 8 kibble of Pachyrhino. Will take around 3 tranq darts from a longneck rifle. 4 or 5 minutes until tamed. I've tested this, Baryonyx is my favorite dinosaur. So I tested on what I'll need.

Maloi the Baryonyx.

To the guy that was wondering how to do tail spin on mobile, I don’t know but I do know that it needs to be in water. Oh and also, if you want answers on how to do something, don’t ask on Dododex because there is no ‘reply’ feature so it is completely coincidental that you find the response. Instead google it or ask around on Reddit or something.

These absolute rulers of the ocean AND land are a really useful tame to have . They are easily the best caving creature , fast one land and having a stunning ability in the water makes for a amazing tame that everyone needs !

Cant bola them anymore, learned the hard way:)

Argy’s can carry them. Carry a Bary to a taming pen, it’ll make it super easy. Plus the swamp is a horrible spot to tame anything.

One of the best dinos for a cave adventure

Don't waste time with bolas. Their sprites got bigger and bolas are old news. Use ranged weaponry while standing up above on a high rock. Would definitely recommend being at least level 21 for tranq arrows- it's especially more effective to be able to shoot the bary from a far distance to aggro it while safely perched up above a high enough rock. At level 21, I was able to tame a level 200 on mobile. My first bary. It took 5 hours of patience and grind. It will torpor run really fast; be prepared!

I have played Ark for about five years, and for four years people told me that these guys weren’t worth crap. But one day about a year ago I was playing PvP with my friends and I decided to tame one to see if it really was as bad as people said. I instantly knew they were my new favorite tame and I started breeding; I became the most powerful person on the server.- Allen

This can somehow stun alpha megs for some reason

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

can this guy go inside south cave?

like if he can

Do NOT underestimate these guys. They are insanely fast and agile. I have tamed a Rex, Spino, and Theri, with 137% movement speed, and yet these still managed to kill me with full Flak armor. If you are trying to tranq them, don’t do it at even remotely close range or they will likely wreck you. My Theri, Machete, was left on passive so I could tame them without him going apeshit and killing them- turns out I was gonna need him on neutral cause I was NOT making it out of that alive because I’m dumb. I got him onto neutral pretty quickly, but not soon enough, so I was annihilated. Don’t be me, be smart. 😂

Baryonyx is carryable by argy on mobile!
