Too bad you couldn’t mate this with a Baryonyx to make a spino.

Please, please, please make sure it’s not on aggressive when you’re using it to hatch an egg. It will it eat it the moment it hatches! R.I.P my baby raptor. It was so young );

No one wrote this but the higher the damage the better it is for incubating eggs

To the person who said "...mate this with a Baryonix to make a Spino", good one. I had a great chuckle with your tip. Someone make a mod out of this.

If you put it on aggressive with Kairuku set to breeding, it will eat the babies and store the polymer in its inventory. Easy organic poly farm!

It is basically a portable AC unit, the more melee damage you put into it, the better it is at being an AC.

For the love of god tame these on double xp and only tame low lvls

To the one who said that we have to carefully not leaving him on agressiv, while incubate eggs

Why would you ever set this poor and easily killed on agressive ?

It would be destroyed within secondes, by almost everything wandering around

They must be able to float in water to lay eggs.

Can wild card please start including special abilities in the info panel I'm tired of going to tips to go find out if dino has some special quirk idk about yet being an incubator and an ac is important INFO ya think?

If you’re like me and don’t feel like collecting resources for an AC, then just try and tame these

A lot of people say that ACs are way better than dimetrodons, but really if you level its melee damage up a ton they are way better than any AC.

The first one I tried to tame I killed on accident so try and do this:

-Use a crossbow and tranq arrows

-have a lot of narcotics or bio toxins (preferably bio toxins because they raise torpidity by 80, and no it doesn’t harm them)

-repeatedly shoot it in the head WATCH THE HEALTH

-I used prime meat. Around 4-5 pieces of it. Don’t use regular meat it’s not worth it (kibble would be the best though)

My dimetrodon was level 19 and it went down rather quickly

Ik people have said this but you can’t pick up dimetrodon on mobile unlike what Dododex says it is really annoying

75 points   🔧 Utility   Aug 16, 2021   Report

Bruh I kept finding females only and after the 10th female I finally found a male💀 I was starting to think that there’s only females on mobile bruh, anyways these dinos are really useful if your level 60 or below( except those who found the air conditioner blue print in a drop) because these Dino can be used as a portable air conditioner, and you don’t unlock the air conditioner blue print until level 61 and obviously you’re already going to be breeding some Dino before that. Dimetrodon are in the swamp so they may be a little hard to obtain, dimetrodon aren’t rare but like hard to spot due to the shadows of trees and swamp floating grass or whatever in the water so you know makes it a bit hard too. On mobile these Dino prefer quetzal kibble and their torpor drops EXTREMELY fast so make sure to bring lots of bio toxins/narcotics and bring kibble to make the taming better, also make sure to tame a high level one for higher melee stat because for every 100% of melee is equal to a single air conditioner, for example if my dimetrodon has a melee of 300% it is equivalent to 3 air conditioners. Which is also another reason why you may want to chose a dimetrodon even after having the air conditioner blue print because dimetrodon saves you a ton of resources AND space especially when your done with breeding your dinos you can just unclaimed them and you didn’t waste much time on building all those air conditioner and wasting more time on destroying them. So tame a dimetrodon to make hatching eggs a lot easier👍🏽 -V

Recommend just to get prime meat then tame Because these things are a pain to tame (for me-)

257 points   🥚 Taming & KO   Oct 6, 2016   Report

Be prepared to sit and tame for a very long time. They use up a lot of narcotics so you don't have much time to look away from the inventory

238 points   🔧 Utility   Mar 20, 2017   Report

It looks like a baby spino who just collapsed!!!!!

To farm their eggs you need to keep them in water deep enough for then to swim, their oxygen doesn't go down
