Carnotaurus is a fast, sturdy mid-game mount useful for hunting, gathering prime meat, transporting resources, defending bases, and exploring caves. Tame one by isolating it in a bear trap or secure pen—or firing tranquilizers from inaccessible terrain—then feed it meat while maintaining its torpor and protecting it from nearby threats. When encountering one, keep your distance with ranged weapons and use rocks, trees, or other terrain to kite it; protect your tames and retreat from Alpha variants or unsafe fights.
