Currently breeding an army of these guys. They can cover a lot of ground quickly with their jumps. I haven't even been mutating that long and their melee is over 600%, it can do 1200+ damage x3 with it's secondary attack. I have taken down alpha megs in the ocean and cleared the swamp cave many times with only two needed. On top of that, the gathering efficiency in cementing paste and Chitin is so good that I can fill a vault with cementing paste in 2-3 trips inside the cave. Excellent at gathering leech blood as well because you cannot get leeches on you while on this tame. It also cannot be affected by leeches. EZ pickens. 10/10 tame for any level of the game.

if u live near a place where no insects spawn just kill a dino and let it rot for 5 to 15 mins and voila u got insects (hope this helps) :)

If your tame is killed leaving you stranded in the swamp, then just bola the closest frog, knock it out, make a saddle and hop away to freedom. I can tell you firsthand that it’s possible.

Some people may not agree,but these are the perfect travel creatures,they preserve meat, can jump really high and even get cementing paste from killing small bugs, this is my favourite

riding beelzebufo does not attract rhyniognathas

When riding use its tounge to kill bugs for cement paste

Everyone is making this too hard, use a bola, tranq arrow it, feed and your done you have my favorite Dino in the game. Fast, jumps high, swims great, aoe attack, knockout bonus. All around winning, I ride one with two more following me.

As soon as the egg hatches whistle stop following otherwise the baby will beach itself and die instantly

Wild card Why don’t you make the frog a tadpole when born lmao

A little heads up... players get knocked out after only 50 torpor so watch out because in 2-3 hits you can end up dead- a tip from a man that hates the dang swamp.

I had a frorg named beez nuts that got eaten by a sarc

A wonderful & easy tame for early on, these bad boys extremely agile (great scouters and getaway dinos) and relatively easy to tame. A must have for the swamp cave, as it can gather TONS of cp, and take out the swarms of bugs with ease.

Almost nobody talks about the jumping this guy does

It’s awesome

Wonderful PvP scouting mount! They don't poop, so stamina fills quickly, less fall damage, quick getaway, stealthy swimmer/close to ground, if someone comes at you with a flyer you can escape via water, jumping the full forward distance begins stamina recovery, stamina isn't used while swimming, can be used to tame lower level dinos as it's attacks add torpor, cementing paste and chitin are easily obtained and not to mention that the frogs look great! The "stabbing" tongue attack gathers more efficiently but does less damage than the "slashing" tongue attack. Note that you can NOT attack via the tongue while swimming. When using to tame, be sure to wait 5-10 seconds between attacks, the wild dino will likely die otherwise, not very efficient but very handy.

These oversized toads are easy to tame. All you need is a bola, tranq arrows and meat to tame them. Their food drops faster than their torpor, so you won't need that much narcotics. Be careful not to tame one if there are others nearby.

Insect swarm will not target you when you ride it. Won't harvest CP from swarms.

Probably the most fun mount in early game...

It's good at getting chitin and cementing paste it is kinda slow but jumps good

if you are taming this just for the cementing paste farming. Better get doedicurus (for auto farming stone) and megatherium (top rated gatherer for chitin).

It takes more time to find some bugs rather than farming the actual mats.

This little dude is just fun to ride! I mean i am working hard to build and tame and harvest all the time, and then i get on this guy for the first time and I spent like 20 minutes just bouncing around and having fun. So refreshing!
