Uhhhh PEFECT! Adorable looks like a mini spino, great house pet or an AC!!! By all means next time you go to a swamp be sure to grab yourself one or get it as a gift to your BFF they will love it. <3

So I have Been living on the left beach by the volcano and I want a but then I get there and there’s a bunt hit of these guys all over the place by the bottom left part of the swamp by the rebwoods but take an argey because there annoying to tame

If you want to tame high level AC, Mutton or Kibble are pretty much needed, following tons of Bio Toxin, it worth the AC purchase cost if you find one with high melee start anyway...

Get at least 2 or 3 tamed and just lvl up melee everytime they lvl up (higher melee = better tempreature control)

Make sure they are on passive

And you now can hatch pretty much every egg

As mentioned below, in Mobile you cannot pick up the Dimetrodon with an Argi. You’ll need a Quetzel, or maayyybbbbbeee a Tapajara, idk yet I am still working on it.

Basically a walking air conditioner that can bite things.

These guys work well for mutation breeding projects that involve large egg layers. Breeding tamed like brontos, Gigas, and Carch's can take up a massive amount of space and sometimes you can't fit as many as you'd like indoors or inside your tek FF without them all stacking on top of each other. These guys let you spread out more and unlike an AC if you need to move it you don't have to waste valuable resources.

Can be used as ac and a heater which means they can incubate pretty much any egg if you have enough of them, essential if you plan to breed on primitive.

Dont get stressed over its short wake up time, figure out how many narcotics it will take to fill its torpor from as close to 0 as possible, its about 1 stack for every 4000 torpor points. Place this in the inventory and allow your dimetridon to get as close to waking up as possible and then feed him all the narcotics at once. It will take just over 10 minutes for a stack of narcotics to take affect. This will give you time to look away and do other things.

Keep in mind, lower torpor (lower level dimetridons) may have less than 4000 torpor, in which case they will wake up sooner because they cant use a full stack of narcotics. Higher level dimetridons have closer to 8000 torpor, in which case you can feed them 2 stacks and they will take over 20 minutes to consume the narcotics.

When tamed it acts as a incubator a nd if level up on melee it will be strong and if you tamed wild one and tamed it will be weak and eats meat

This thing provides insulation buff - and is better than air con!

Air con = 100 insulation

Dimetro = 1 insulation per 1% melee damage

Ex. 300% melee dmg = 300 insulation

Plus, Dimetro is portable and doesn't require electricity!

Only problem is how difficult they are to tame...

That torpor drain needs to be nerfed.

If you get yourself one or two of these, and put every point into melee, they can hatch any egg and you won't even have to bother making a bunch of air cons. They are kind of a pain to tame, but you should be fine using prime and some narcotics.

Weigh them down, put them on wander and your eggs will be hatched! Also upgrade melee damage for better insulation.

This guy was actually quite easy for me to find since I live right near a swamp! He took about 7-8 tranq arrows to get knocked out and maybe 15 narcotic to keep asleep! Bring lots of narcotics with you because they wake up fast

Tame one female dimetridon because if you are raising baby spinos rexes Gigas or any other giant carnivore (medium size or small idk) there's a big chance of babies wanting dimetridon kibble and I know the some players problems is that dimetridon egg is hard to find from swamps and rivers so tame one female so it can lay eggs no need for male (unless for emergency kibble)

Side comment: I wish I had tame one sooner my spino just got 84 percent imprint :(

Good for egg hatching tho if you have many dimetridon (I'm an ark mobile player)

Dodo said 600 narcotics and 1.5 hours to tame. Took 1hour 45min and 1150 narcotics. Thanks dodo, glad I always carry extra for just in case.

They are not Dino’s for they have spayed legs and are amphibious creatures that most likely lived before the dinosaurs and from what I hear is that they are small while the real ones were humongous creatures

Can’t pick them up with an Arge in Mobile :(

Im so sorry guys my Dime tip took to long cuz there was a power off sorry :'(

Looking to tame this Live AC? Ok! Lets start on what you"ll need!

SUPPLIES FOR TAME AND YOURSELF:

-Journeyman or Appreantice Longneck rifle if low lvl or choose Ascendant Longneck if high lvl.

-Lots of Bio or Narcotics. (6 or 5 Stacks of bio and 7 stacks of narc if not using balm.)

-x3 or x6 Quetz Kibble.

-Soothing Balm (If you want.)

-Journeyman, and Apprentice Shotgun or Pump Shotgun to kill any Titanoboa, Kapro, Sarco, and Baryonyx that could interfear while taming your Smaller Spino.

-Taming Trap.

Now lets start!

-Step 1: Find a Dimetrodon. (Finding a Dimetrodon is very easy theyre found in the swamps but theyre common in the Green Obelisk Redwood Swamps.)

-Step 2: Bring Dimetrodon to the trap. (Quetzals can only carry the Dimetrodon.)

-Step 3: KO your Dimetrodon (When you brought it in trap get you Quetz Kibble and Balm if you"ll like a balm and KO it and put the stuff and Torpor requirements and also Dimetrodons torpor drains fast, like fr its sooo fast.)

-Step 4: Put stuff in Dimetrodon (Put: Your Bio/Narcs, Quetz Kibble, Balm if you want.)

-Step 5: Just wait and keep feeding it Bio or Narcs "till it tames! =)

Tysm for seeing my Taming Guide! Now lets go to the Abilities and Dissabilities of this creature! =)

ABILITIES

ABILITY 1- Dimetrodons are live AC"s! They can be used for hatching eggs or keeping you from freezing to death at the Snowy Tundra of the Island, just add melee on its lvls bc it wil make the Dimetrodon way cooler and better than normal AC"s.

DISABILITIES

DISSABILITY 1- ARK Devs should really make Argentavis carry the Dimetrodon like really, you can only carry them with a Quetz when Tamed and Wild too, which is sad =(.

Tysm for seeing my Guide on Dimetrodon! Hope ya"ll have a great summer! And as always PEACE OUT! 😁😄😄😃

-TheGamingINDO

Level melee for better insulation, same as otters.
