Never get caught in a ditch in the rain while trying to free your jeep from the mud. They will find you, spit at you, and then eat you.

First playing ARK:
"OH SHIT A DILO RUN"

100 in game days later:
"Dafuq is this piece of shit trying to do"
*Rex murders it and it's family*

Should start taming these as they are the technically the first dino in the kibble chain.

Best rapper on ark. Spits so much fire, you'll be blind by the time they're done

When you go to tame one, make sure they aren't in a pack. They may not seem that intimidating, but in a small pack, they are very dangerous.

Don't bother with Tranq Arrows for these guys. They're easily knocked out with a club, and not a problem to keep knocked out with whatever narco berry's you can find.

They're great for acting as bodyguards when you go to possibly dangerous areas, and for hunting since their spit slows animals down. Once I had 2 of mine attack a Carno while I shot at it, both survived and killed the carno.

In early game if you can't get plant X put these on your roof and fill their inventory up with stone so they can't move and you now have short range spit turrets

I love thse little fuzzballs soooooo much! I ahve over 30 of these little guys and they make great guard dogs. Mine are all about level 70 at the moment as i haven't had a chance to level them up but i mostly pump on health, some melee damage as well but I take them out hunting when I'm riding my therzin and they take things out pretty quick. So id reccomed them. Love my little babies <3

"THE ENEMY OF MY ENEMY IS MY FRIEND" rat runs!! Have tunnels in your Base, nobody wants to run around griefing and running into what quite possibly a pack of rabid dobermans that spit acid.

If you're ever looking for one, just open your inventory on the beach. Guarunteed to find at least 4 behind you.

If starting out then these dinosaurs seem to be one of the most easiest way's to get raw meat and hide, given they are a reasonable level (I'd stick to about 20 and below for starting out, anything higher could be really dangerous) along side 'Dodo's', 'Coel' and 'Parasaur's' (which are not aggressive) That being said, if tamed, their eggs which are made into kibble can provide most useful in taming more effective 'resource' dinosaurs such as the; Doedicurus (for stone) and the Ankylo (for Flint, Metal, Crystal and Obsidian). Although don't underestimate these small Dinosaurs, they can/will be very aggressive when nearby. What I found best to dealing with them at a lower level was the spear, attacking whilst 'back-peddling' aslong as you keep getting the hit in. Then harvest with a pick for more raw meat or the hatchet for more hide. Whatever your preference.

On their own, Dilophosaurs aren’t really useful, but in packs of 5 or more, they are extremely deadly. Also, their spit doesn’t just blind prey; it drains their stamina and drops their movement speed dramatically.

It's pretty easy to tame
1. Bola it (so it can't chase you)
2. Use a slingshot or a club (I call them beaty sticks) to knock it out
3. Add some meat (it shouldn't take much)
Also, remember to dodge the poison spit

These this are killers man. My buddy jimbo got attack last week :( I never saw him again

Since they are easy tames tame a bunch of females and a single male for the eggs. Their kibble is preffered by anklos and dodigs.

Have a ton of hi-lv Dilos on neutral follow a hi-lv Raptor or similarly sized ride-able Dino on aggressive/wander, the effect is devastating for an opponent. Add Dimorphs for aerial support for PVP raid guard squads. The more the merrier, and breeding Dilos enmass becomes worth it.

I had a group of 8 and I took down a carno, 3 trikes, 2stegos and a BRONT. These are must have dinos.

Left these roaming on an Island. Send you blind as a fat hairy rat in the light when spat on by one of these. Ran into a tree and got attacked by compy's. Then the flying Ant's. A fascinating game to escape too.

Get about ten of them raoming your base. And its secure
