Fists can easily knock a Dilo out. There spit can help you hunt or defend you from other survivors. In groups of 3 or more they are dangerous.

Put a bunch of stone on them and put them on your roof on aggressive and you have a spit turret

A good first defensive game. Their acid attack slows all dinosaurs and can be a lifesaver early to mid game.

Alone not very affective but I once had a group of 7 and they took out a carno with easy as well as other aggressive creatures

This is a very over looked tame. I have a pack of 10 and they were all tamed at 150s. Set them all on a lvl 105 rex to actually get them killed to decrease my tame cap. And they murdered the rex lol

It's better to tame a male and female to produce eggs in order to make kibble for a dodicurus or an ankylo. Those are good for collecting stone or flint and metal.

Personally, I keep a pack of lv 100+ Dilos that are my alpha squad. An easy and cheap way to take care of alpha raptors. My squad can take anything up to lv 90.

For an egg farm, you need one male and as many female as you can afford, make wooden ramp and have them follow you into them and punch into position. Put them on passive. The eggs will roll down for an easy pick up.

Mainly used as a watchdog, set it to aggressive and wandering inside ur base walls set all else to neutral and as soon as dilo attacks sum thing then everything else will

Have some dilhos in your base on wander to act like watch dogs they might not hurt a lot but a pack of 3 or more can kill and alert you with battle music

Once I bred a dilo, the egg hatched triplets, I named them uno dos and tres

These things are underestimated i saw two of these take on a bronto they bothed lived and won because one got stuck under the bronto and killed it after that three more came out of the jungle. Me and my cousin killed the other one and tamed the one that killed the bronto it was like lvl 25 but we named it hero it was by far the strongest dino i saw literly i saw a bronto take on to carnos and win. UP VOTE SO OTHER PLAYERS SEE HOW STRONG THEY ARE.

Somehow three of these things killed a 140 raptor and 3 troodons, of course I was the meat shield but still, I guess they can be good

Dilo spit slows things down its the best way to hunt turtles early on.

Best starter tame every taming sequence starts with the dilos

Taming a huge pack of these guys is a very good way to be able to take on bigger dinosaurs and is almost essential in singleplayer. An army of these guys can be a good replacement for people. Pair them with some other tames like the scorpion or a swarm of dimos (another overlooked but great tame) and you can dominate the whole island

Put 10 on you roof and set them to turret mode...Presto early game plant species

With tamed dilos try to use a ranged weapon to help ensure that the spit attack won't accidently bounce off of you,a pack of 3-5 dilos can also take out most coastline enemies including the trike if need be

so when ever I start on a new server I always tame a small team of these guys just for some protection. I recommend you do this when you are between level 3-15
These guys are great because their poison can slow down enemies wile you run for your life, not mentioned they are pretty easy to tame because you can knock them out with your fists. When you are using them I suggest you have their attack range on high ( if it is not they will not use poison as much)and follow distance on low. When you are a low level you can even store perishable items, like narco berries, in them to have them last longer.

Put alot in your base right near a turret they slow and blind the man while turret kills
