Utility Roles for Carbonemys:

1. Tank. A very bulky dino for early game, due to their easy taming method they are worth taming just for their bulk alone. They take reduced damage everywhere but their head. Unfortunately, are outclassed by the Trike later on. (level Health)

2. Early game water mount. Their saddle is relatively inexpensive to craft, and they are significantly faster in water. Plus, no Oxygen stat means you can have access to local waterways around your base. Just don't try traversing the ocean...(level Health, Stamina, and Movement Speed)

3. Scout (if you want). They are slow, even while sprinting, but their bulk is good for any scouting missions you want to do in the early game. (level Stamina and Movement Speed)

4. Kibble Maker. Their eggs are classed as Medium, and they lay at a decent rate. Great for Regular Kibble!

Who thinks Carbonemys should have a mini platform saddle?

You can use it for taming dinos, just level it up and put the levels in health and if you are taming some (unlike raptors they can pounce on you) just sit at its back and shoot the creature.

Please up it so who don't know can see it.

These sea creatures are early game tanks, able to tank out damage while you escape. They are very easy to tame, no need for a trap. I got around 6 or them near my base all over 3000 hp and they make jolly well defenders. The thing is they are slow. I do short reviews on other herbivores, pls like.

When walking a carbonemys backwards towards a turret it takes less damage towards the carbonemys , making draining a turret more efficient.

Create the ultimate turtle breeding group. Call yourself the turtle god. Put your mega tortols in aggressive, pick it up with quetzal, drop these babies on other tribe's turrets.

You now have the ultimate turret soaker. Let all other players feel the wrath of the turtle god. Your power is limitless, your defense is unfathomable, they shall all bow before your might. You are turtle god, bullet's demise, the ultimate waster of resources, who would dare defy you?

When backing it up to drain turrets, set it to follow something that's in a safe place before you hop on. That way if you get sniped off the saddle your turtle will follow whatever animal to safety.

The carbonemys is perhaps one of the best creatures to tame in the early game, and provides decent protection against dilos and lone raptors. The carbonemys can easily be knocked out with a slingshot, and even a survivor with base movement speed can outrun one, making it one of the easiest tames for the early game. Not only can it carry a lot, it can be used a bait for taming (or escaping) big carnivores that would love to eat you and you (amazing pink dodo) for a snack.

PROS

Amazing for early game

Bulky

Can carry lots of stuff

An easy source of meat, keratin, hide, and XP for early game players

CONS

Really slow on land

Gets stuck on stuff a lot

Makes annoying wailing noises all the time

Due to a recent update of turrets are set to players only the turtle loses its full potential as the turrets will target the person riding it rather than the turtle

I tamed a male and female because they're an easy source of keratin which is needed for a lot of saddles and many other things. They do make good defenders but once you tame a triceratops I would recommend just killing your carbonemys for the keratin. They also give a lot of hide, but that's not really why I would tame them

Fun fact:

You can jump on their back even without a saddle and whistle them around any body of water you need to cross without leeds attacking you.
