One just friking killed my para called peter 1 like =1 rip 🪦 peter
These guys have the worst manners, they will literally spit in your face. One 🔼= one of these guys going to manners camp
I once had a Dilo named Sally. I got attacked by an Alpha Raptor, totally got shredded, but was close to my base. Ran back to my body to find the Alpha eating Sally while she was lying on top of my body trying to protect me...RIP Sally...
I tried killing a theri then A FRICKIN DILO CAME PUT OF NO WHERE AND SPAT AT MY IGUANODON I WAS RIDING AND THE THERI FINISHED HIM OUT
-Up if dilos need to be nerfed
They usually spawn where dodos and carbonemys do.
Super dangerous in packs. Three. THREE! Three dilos with at least 120 to 200 Health came when I was riding my level 10 raptor and they killed him. Up=paying respects to him and avenge him (Raptory III, since my other two ‘Raptory’ raptors died.) Down=YOU ARE SO RUDE!
I hope they rot. Oh, wait, they did. I avenged him, but still.
These may look like weak sauce but if they are in a group they can shred you to pieces. If you are to far for them to bite they will spit poison that blinds and damages you. They also come in a variety of vibrant and beautiful colours.
Hi I am going to inform on how to tame a dilo first you make a bat and get meat from copy or dodo then wack it with your bat till it’s knocked out finally you put the meat in it’s inventory and wait
Annoying at first when you are low lvl, but after you tame one they become quite useful. My fave dino was Lord Of The Spit, a dilo. We went to the redwood forest. There we met a dire bear, me, knowing nothing about them, and it just wandering around peacefully eating berries, thought that it was friendly. What a mistake that was. R.I.P Lord Of The Spit. I WILL avenge him. All dire bears prepare. Once I complete my dilo army in honor of Spit, I will come for you and wipe you all out. And for the bear who killed Spit. I know how you look like, your level, your name, and where you are. Beware I am coming.
Here’s some tips for my fellow noobs!
You will encounter these guys. It’s impossible to not see them at least once in the few days after you start the game. If you’re like me and want to avoid them, listen. I mean literally. They make a sort of chittering noise, very different from dodos. Listening to the world around me has saved my butt too many times.
If you want to fight one, wait until you have an axe and have upped your health and damage some. They’re easy kills if you sprint at em from behind and spam the axe. If you see them flash their frill, get to the side. When they flash the frill it means they’re going to spit.
Similar strategy for taming, but instead of an axe use a club. Toss some raw meat into their inventory and keep some narco berries on hand juuuust in case. They tame very quick.
At high levels they are amazing defenders and distractors, though I’d use carbonemys for distracting. They’re also very moveable thanks to their size.
