Where there's one, more will slowly spawn in. They won't attack you unless in a group of two or more. The bigger the crowd, the more damage they do.

Aww cute litte thing at first but it bites and more and more come and they kill u unless you have any metal wepon or worse or better y'know imagine your player in jurassic park 3 yeah they will hang up say by to any passave mounts

Warning: If you hear one near you it won't attack, but just know there will be more and THEY will eat your toes!

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

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

A single Compy is never an issue. Due to there curious nature of humans they'll walk right up to you and observe you without hostility. But after they see you they will send out a call to nearby Campus beckoning them. Once another Compy is close enough to get a pack bonus they loose there neutral mentality and the pack mind takes over and they become hostile to beware of multiple Compys.

They usually hunt in packs so always watch out for more than one compy

Absolutely love these little gremlins. They like to come ip to you and stare at you for a moment, then attack when the pack is assembled. THEY ONLY EAT REALLY QUALITY MEAT! Also, the babies are, like, microscopic, so I’ve had several cases of one escaling out the door and never seeing it again (then getting a “Coraline, Lv. 6 (Compy) died!” notice a few minutes later :(), so if you must breed them, make sure you have TONS of prime meat (which spoils VERY FAST) and make sure the babies stay in a secure location because they are FAST. My favorite thing to do is have a pack of, like, 20 folowing me around and watch as they take down a Raptor nearly effortlessly. Hilarious (also, VENGEANCE >:)).

Hit em with a torch and they run off burning

The compy looks like a baby gallminus

Lots of them spawn on the beach in the south easy zone.

Keep away from these or they may go lost world on you because they attack in groups. Also there good diversions for taming powerful dinos. There not worth the needed tame supplies though

If you ever find a Compy then make sure you have enough spears to kill them, but if not you can easily run away for they are not fast.

I find the easiest way to deal with these things if you don't want to tame them is to punch or club them unconscious and then kill them while they are knocked out.

These irritating mother flippers can slaughter you if your not prepared

Although their small stats may make you heavily underestimate them, don't be fooled. These little guys rely on confusing you, and are very small and hard to hit. In high leveled groups with lots of members, they can be extremely deadly early game. For dealing with the annoying groups, just use a torch. If you cannot beat them, and they are overpowering you, I can help. A strategy I've found works is probing (default key X) under a large creature with a neutral temperature, preferably a herbivore with a large hitbox on its body and attacks (a Triceratops would be perfect). This may result in you being hit, but the Trike will kill off all the Compies, giving you time to run, or collect their spoils.

I killed three of these in a row with my bare hands

A simple compy pack is never bad. Just get out a primitive pike and kill them. (AKA I have seen a pack of MILLIONS near my base!)

If your having trouble hitting them with a spear burn them alive with a torch all of them make them suffer

A good tame to bring in a compy infested area is an icthy. You can have it on your back and throw it if you get swarmed. Make sure hunt is on. Will yield prime meat!
