Definitely a dino worth your time and effort, you can snatch the eggs super early game with a lymantria by luring and cropdusting the parents, and they can be bred for boss battles and PvP.

A few tips:

-No fall damage

-Pounce range and direction is determined by what you're aiming at with your mouse, imagine an invisible crosshair in the middle of your screen. -The pounce goes a lot further than you think, they can latch onto hovering Manticore, as their vertical wall leap (once latched) is 5-6 walls.

-They can still pounce/wall climb when overencumbered, with the same range/mobility, so you can just hop home with all that metal ore you're carrying.

-A fang symbol will appear on pouncable targets, you just have to press Jump once and watch your Deino turn into a raptor sized homing leech missile. For some reason argies are no problem, but YutyS are unpouncable.

-You will need to target Hp, StaM and dmg

Fast, Agile, Can climb, Latch on bigger creatures and pounce on smaller ones, can glide a bit and doesn't take fall damage, does good damage and even inflicts an stackable bleed and Saddle is just lvl 32.

If you hold jump then let go it will charge your jump for longer range

Their claw attack dose area of effect damage! Great speed and high attack makes them stellar at gathering meat!

These things are amazing for fighting the Dragon boss due to the fact that the dragon can't hit these guys AND they do the bleed effect which stacks. If you can get these, I'd recommend doing so and pumping health.

Get the egg and book for the hills

The deinonychus is not immune to radiation

Today I figured out that if you roar with the deinonychus you get a boost.

Level stamina, dmg, and health. Then get a pig and u can take down every alpha boss on the island

Guys this is a really awesome creature but I have one small issue: The climbing. BRO THE CLIMBING IS SO BAD ONCE IT LATCHES AND U TRY TO JUMP UP THE VLIFF U JUST FALL DOWN VLIMBING IS SO BAD. Use a thyla instead

The saddle as of 2025 isnt in prim+ and will prob not get added since they dont update the game anyomore (ase)

The saddle engram sometimes doesn’t work so look for the saddle before gathering the mats

These things take no fall damage and can scale cliffs by jumping then latch onto a new point. They can latch onto larger dinos by jumping once a bite icon shows up either near the larger dinos legs or neck.

Holding down the jump button will make it jump higher and you can also latch onto walls if you jump into one and melee this animal does not take fall damage so don’t worry if you fall off a cliff

This is an amazing tame!

First it has an ability to grab onto prey and not let go until its stamina is empty, during this ability you can damage prey and take very little damage yourself ( sometimes none ).

You can ( partially ) climb. They have an ability where if you jump near a vertical wall it usually latches onto the wall. Spamming jump will get you up the wall in no time!

They have a bleed effect ( similar to the giga ) which deals bleed damage.

They don’t take fall damage.

If you hold down the jump button they jump much higher than their usual jump.

If you get a few of these guys they can obliterate brontos and Rex’s in seconds!

( would recommend pumping stats into health and stam )

These things are awesome they latch onto your opponents giant dinosaurs they have a blood damage that stacks and they do massive damage and they can glide and have no fall damage much like the rock Drake but just can't cloak and it's still awesome though 😀thanks for reading!

Get army use army no more enemy

Up melee, health, and weight, and you’ll have a great hunting mount. These guys also have a pack bonus when you have three or more

These things take absolutely no fall damage no matter the distance

Can latch on to quetzals! 😂
