It's not a very good tame when you first get ark, it needs rare meats and you have to watch its torpor. But, if you can get your hands on a lot of narcs and prime fish meat, you can tame a whole lot of these.

Put this up if you find it useful.

If you are interested in taming a compy they only eat prime meat.

They will not eat raw meat.

You know what I love about Ark? The fact that a tiny ass Dinosaur like this eats food that pretty much requires you to kill all of the Big carnivores on the god damned Island

He cute

He smol

He dummy

He hated

Why does it's egg count as small but parasaur and dilo eggs count as extra small compys eggs are bigger than it is!

Pls read not many people know this!!! Did you know that if you equip a comp on your shoulder, then you get a weight reduction.

Purpose on single player: little house pet/completionist tame/filler

Purpose on multi player: throw c4 on them, set on aggressive wander, swarm enemies base( explode when necessary)

While many say the humble compsognathus is a useless creature,

This could actually not be further from the truth!

They have the strange ability to get much more meat from animals than most creatures their size, this coupled with with their portability makes them ideal taming companions before cryopods are available.

They also can be incredibly powerful in swarms, some have said they can kill an allo with about fourty, couple twenty complies with five of their aerial counterpart the dimorphodon, and you have a brilliant combat group capable of taking down almost anything.

And lastly, they are simply brilliant companions.

Very dangerous, very annoying. Also kinda cute. This is the compy, or compsognathus. It is a pack dino, which means it gets a pack bonus if there are other compies around. They are very small, which means if you attack one, others could quickly stream out of the small berry plants. However, they are relatively slow and quite low on health, so if many threaten you, don't bother fighting them. 1. Because it's a bad idea for new/low lvl players. 2. Because they barely give any hide or meat

I found one then I knocked it out and it wouldn’t eat my meat and I raged and killed it. 2 weeks later I get Dododex. And read prime only

Ok so there is a secret category in Dododex so if you go to more and tap on the part that says shoulder pets you can see the other shoulder pets in the game like so more can see this

Do these guys lay eggs? If so, these guy’s eggs are prob microscopic

Alone, you may cause me to scurry

But when i bring friends you might worry

We naturally become vicious

To what we find nutritious

So take us down in a hurry

Creature Limericks #4

Are they tame-able!??!?! I tried to shoot one

but it just died

If you have a argie and are near a swamp, just kill one of those big elephant-giraffe things real quick and knock out the compy.

Not really a "Utility" tame. But if you play on servers, tame a really big and strong pack of compys and send them to attack a unsuspecting victim. Also dont lie. The only reason your reading this is because your looking for a reason to tame them, so just tame one.. or two... Maybe even 300.

Roses are red

violets are blue

Don’t underestimate them

They’ll Gang up on you.

a high level can actually kill a low level player

Don’t ask how I know this

Remember once they are tamed they'll eat normal raw meat so you don't have to get more prime or mutton :>

All Utility Tips for Compy:

1. A pretty cute, if unconventional, pet

2. Can serve as a backpack (due to shoulder pets reducing weight in their inventory by 50% when on your shoulder)

3. Not strong, but can serve as a distraction

That's about it. Honestly, unless you want a pet early on to bite at the ankles of things, don't tame.
