They are like raptors for beginners, fast nimble with decent health, I suggest getting a small pack... In later stages of the game they turn into more of a support class with their ability to poison a target, forcing them to stay still with no capability to defend itself for a short time, enough time for the rest of your dinos to critically damage the enemy. I suggest looking out for raptors quickly as they are no match for most herbivores you will find on the beach.
While it may not seem much at first, these Dilos are really easy to tame mid game. This allows you to stock up your tamed dilos and effectively form a whole army of them. I have like 20 Dilos at relatively low levels, and even then I can kill most of the beginning to mid game creatures. Just command them to attack something and they will swarm the hell out of that poor creature.
These creatures are usually underestimated and looked over. Taming these at early game can be a life-saver, as they can gather more meat and hide for you easier. In packs they are very dangerous. Dilos are good for body guards, hunting, carrying, and can be turrets encumbered and on aggressive lol
I love this little sh*ts. We had a guy wearing flak and an assault rifle attack our low level tribe where I tamed a swarm of these, they blinded him, kept blinding him. This allowed us and our other tames to kill him effortlessly and take all his stuff. Level up movement speed health and damage to maximize their potential
Dilo's can be irritating to die to early game, but honestly they're a worthwhile tame, I have five that follow me on ventures, and their spit combined with their speed, especially at higher numbers, has defied some serious odds and taken down more dangerous dino's than themselves
