I found a level 1(by chance), and it took me 14 seconds to tame. I found thirteen more over the month, and by February(found my first one at January), I had an army. I took down a whole Allosuarus in seconds with the army, but we had a PVP war, and..........eleven fell to my enemy's Trexes and Baryonyx. Only one remains now, and I keep him in my ark Basement. His names JasonBourne

Anyone remember that scene in Jurassic park when these evil little things chowed down on a little girl? No just me?

Am I the only one that thinks you should be able to strap grenades or compy cameras to their backs?

What if they add alpha compy

Let me tell you a sad true story.

I stumbled across one of these things. A Carno appeared to have killed its friends so it was alone. She ran over to me and the look in its eyes told me I had to get revenge so I somehow did. Well using the prime meat I got from slaying the Carno, I tamed it. Her name was Feather and from then on we were inseparable. I always had her in my base when I was crafting, and when I went on excursions, she was on my shoulder. When I tamed a Raptor, Feather was there. My first Trike? She was there.

Then...it happened. I was on a journey, was encumbered so I couldn't run, and a Carno ambushed me and Feather. I fell quickly, but miraculously Feather had not died. I raced back there with my Trikes and Raptors as backup. I saw Feather caught in a rock, biting at the ankles of her foe. I got my stuff then raced to save her and that's when I saw it. 'Your Feather was killed by a level 12 Carnotaurus'. I took the time to mourn, build a grave, and a small monument at my base in honor of one of the best shoulder pets I ever had.

RIP Feather 2022-2022. You shall be missed.

Annoying little brats kill my giga when I was walking(lvl 75 GIGA?!?)there was a pack that killed him. Like for me putting a grave to remember him😔😔😔😔

I hate these things. My first two dilophisaurs were murdered by these pests. They always attack me when I'm trying to tame something. My dreams of getting a pack of these are gone. I am going to hunt them to extinction. Up if you feel bad for red and dilly, my first dilos.

Finally I tame 200 rex level.then 5 compyes came and kill my 200 level rex and 1 raptor.the worst day ever on ark. Now you are thinking that I killed the compy but no I tame those and leave there in ice cave. 1 up for rex😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥

I was landing for Stam on my 97 pelagornis, Pelly. I heard computer sounds, and I saw them but suddenly they stopped. I looked around wondering what was happening, when I saw a dolphin flying around the red Obilisk, and coelacanthes flying all over!! I realized it was a glitch, and it soon kicked me. When I got back to the server, it said choose a place to respawn. I respawned and rode an iguanodon ALL THE WAY over, but it was too late. I killed the compys and took my stuff back along with has saddle

^=rip for my 3rd flyer ever tamed, pelly.😭

I think you shouldn't bash the Compy so fast!

So a little bit of backstory... I tried all different kinds of shoulder mounts. My dimorphodons kept dying after I got KO'd, my Ithyornis was a pain, and I just coudn't get the hang of any winged pals. I ended up going back to using Compies, even if just for companionship. This all would change the first time I met Minnie.

Minnie is my white Compy with light green feathers, and I've had her with me every time I can help it. I often just wander around, checking everything out, and sometimes getting lost in thought. I forgot I had her with me, and suddenly I'm startled by a noise she makes. I look ahead of me to the right, and a Raptor peeks out at me and starts running at me. By calling out the Raptor, Minnie gave me time to shoot one more arrow, knocking me out. That was the first tale I have, and that happened 3-6 months ago.

Just earlier today, I thought the section of Carnivore Island I was at was clear, until I heard Minnie call out danger. I take out my crossbow, turn right and see a sabretooth run right at me! I managed to get in two shots that I wouldn't have had otherwise, and would have died if Minnie didn't warn me about the nearby danger.

Yeah, Minnie's damage level is awful, but she's definitely my partner. Other shoulder mounts make noises because they're raring for battle, even if there's no foes. Minnie stays quiet until danger is sensed or is fighting.

Moral of the story? Don't judge any dino in the game. Everybody has their preferences, and while I could say more, this is meant to be about the most underrated dino in the game. Listen to your Compy, and you'll be much safer. Happy hunting, ladies and gentlemen.
