Deinonychus: all you need to know
The deinonychus is a raptor-like carnivore best used in packs of at least 3. They do a bleed effect that can stack, so having multiple deinonychus will be no less than deadly to any enemies. You can’t actually tame a deinonychus in the wild due to their high intelligence and the strong bond they have with their pack. To acquire a deinonychus you must steal a fertile egg from one of their nests. It is best to distract the pack than to take it head on. The danger of this feat is being swarmed by a pack, so one should stay as far as possible from a actual wild deinonychus. If need be, to kill a deinonychus it is best to use a strong ranged weapon. You can use a sword or a powerful mount as well, but it is best to avoid hand-to-claw combat. Thank you for reading and I hope you have a nice day. ^ for more

Tame them by getting their eggs. Use a whip while you're grappled to a flyer. They need five fireplaces to hatch. It doesn't take that long for them to grow, but to hatch them it's thirty minutes. They can be found easily on the white cliffs along with their eggs. I don't care if you like this or not I just wanna give tips.
Their nests can actually be found around the castle that’s in the grasslands. The castle there is also a decent base location with nearby deinonychus eggs to snatch and hatch or use for extraordinary kibble to tame things faster. Deinonychus are also great creatures to have to move around and take no fall damage while your mounted, and they also do a bleed effect with their attacks. I would say this is a useful tame, as they can climb walls (such as cliffs, etc.).
These things are not an easy task to get you must traverse through trenches keep your eye out and look around for nests here are 3 tips on getting eggs and raising
1. The best spot to find these are a mildly large plains area surrounded by 3 Ruin bridges you will find 7-11 nests here
2. The eggs have a aura illuminating from them close to an alpha aura
3. Raising these are pretty easy requiring at least 1 meat per 1:35 Minutes
