Cerato can turn to bite opponents to their side. They also have a spine attacks or horn thrust. You can attack opponents to your side or behind you with the tail spin. These attacks are how you apply the venom debuff/dot.
These have gotta be one of my favorite creatures (at least on the island). They’re insanely fast once they’ve charged up, and break trees and rocks in their way, the only things that mess up their momentum are steep cliffs and other Dinos in front of them. They have good stats, and a cool design. They’re also relatively easy to find. Unfortunately the normal taming method is really annoying, so I’d recommend just stealing a child (my mom loves me saying “do you have a child I can steal” when I’m playing). Carno island has the most of them, though it can be a hard place to safely retrieve a cerato baby.
It has a venom DoT effect which stacks nicely with carnivores with the bleed effect. It is also very fast, so feel free to go adventuring/hunting on a thylacoleo with this guy as your backup. Most significantly, it has a healing ability, so it looks like a high level with HP and Melee would do well amongst a group of t-rexes, potentially even in a boss battle. Very nice and easy tame too.
