Tamed carnos are excellent almost all around: their health, attack speed, and base damage allow you to take on most of the creatures on the island, including Rexes and Alpha Raptors. Having a mated pair greatly strengthens this quality. They run fairly fast and can carry a lot, making great transport mounts. They are a fairly good harvester of meat and prime meat.

Their only real disadvantage is a slow stamina regen, even when stood completely still.

Be careful raptors can pounce you off of them

A really funny thing you can do with alpha carnos is to get a rhynio, lure an alpha carno to the beach, and get it to swim after you in the ocean. If it loses interest and becomes passive, then get close to it and dismount on your rhynio and it should start swimming after you again. Then when it gets too close you can fly some distance away, dismount, and it will start chasing you again. Do this a few dozen times and you can trick the alpha carno into swimming to herbivore island or any other crazy location since alphas can't drown.

You can also leave the alpha carno at sea then fly away from it until it disappears in your render distance and forget about it since it will never despawn, drown, or even move so you can go to it later to kill it.

This process takes 33% longer than with an alpha rex or raptor, since alpha carnos swim 33% slower than alpha rexes or raptors.

It is sad to see the Carno for not getting too much love these days. Whenever I try to find mutated Carno videos, it only shows a few of them before showing off Rex, Thyla, basically everything else except the Carno, and I'm disappointed. Carnos are basically a nerfed apex predator. They have the power and health you would expect while being speedy as well. They are not too difficult to tame, just a simple knock out tame. Even though a TLC could spice things up a bit, I love it for what it is.

It’s gonna get a TLC! It’s gonna be a little better and can break through armor a little easier. It’s gonna do a bleed attack, like the deinonychus and ravager.

The secondary bleed attack was a massive upgrade to this otherwise overlooked dinosaur. The bleed can deal up to 5% of a target's health over 10 seconds (regardless of your mount’s melee stat), applying to wild creatures and Alphas alike. On creatures with big health stats, no matter how big, you’re still guaranteed a kill in less than 200 seconds.

It has become my favorite Alpha and Giga killer (over the Thylacoleo and Deinonychus) due to its early game accessibility and criminal knockback. Of the three tames, the Carno has the best knockback while attacking, making a significant difference in the damage taken during battle between the three. I’ve eliminated Alpha Rexes by being slightly uphill and spamming the bleed attack without getting hit a single time.

Though perhaps not the most flashy tame, the Carnotaurus definitely a nostalgic weapon honed for a mighty purpose, the clawhammer in every toolbelt. I still scope out every pod of three that I find, hoping for 150s.

ON MOBILE-

DEFINITELY a creature you need for early to mid game. I have a level 173 female that was tamed at level 100, it gained 40 levels so the 33 levels were me leveling it. I put a decent amount of attack and got her to 4000 hp. She makes quick work of EVERYTHING, I've taken on 4 different alpha raptors (not at the same time), she makes quick work of rexes, brontos, and like I said, alpha raptors. There is an alpha rex kinda sorta near my base in the forgotten lakes, imma try and kill it tmm😜and also, be careful around the forgotten lakes, raptors, therizinosaurs, and alpha raptors will spawn near by. you all think the creator of this app should add a section for good base spots and stuff of that sort.

Rated number one for gathering prime on wiki

Doesn't get stuck as easily as the larger carnivores
