Encountering Tips

How do I kill a dimetrodon? dimetrodon battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
WHY CANT MY ARGY PICK IT UP EVEN THOUGH IT SAYS IT CAN??!
This is basically a small friendly spino that lives in swamps
These guys are quite great to have tamed, especially if your making a pack of a dinosaur. They incubate eggs, and stuff the egg under their stomach so that they get damaged instead of the egg. They also hide in the sand when submerged in water and touching the sandy floor, so that only their fin is visible. It make them practically invincible, at that state. They also deal a lot of damage; I have seen one single handedly kill a paracer. (note that the Dimetrodon got very damaged, and afterwards a carno one shot it) they also serve as air conditioning unit, so I imagine that they would be good to bring to the volcano, red woods, etc. they aren’t very fast, though, which is good if your shooting it and don’t have a cliff around. (Though, watch out for other dimetrodons around, since they will defend other dimetrodons.)
These guys are like a lizard but with a spino sail, they also keep eggs warm so they can hatch and they are also neutral, So be nice to these if your not ready to fight.
The dimetrodon is not aggressive. If you do attack it, don't worry, they're very slow and quite easy to take down.
I don't mind that it can't be picked up by tapejara or pt (already makes it a pain in the ass to tame) but why can't it be picked up by argy it's literally so small
There is an island full of them on ranarok in SW tropics the island is literally dimetrodons, jerboas, and pelagornis
Can't be carried by an argy in mobile I lost my argy named aorus in the swamp to test that 😭
You can find these guys in the swamp area by redwoods, desert near the water and in the swamp heading to the floating islands! I incubated one wyvern egg with two of these guys. I put on my level points into melee.
In fjordur you can find them in the jungle swamp realm
on ark mobile you can not grab it with arg just qutetz.
I found most of these guys in swamp areas. Can be used to regulate temperature for incubation
I have found many of them inland on the lava island. 5-9 present at any point in time. Coord: 30,65 approx.
The dimetrodon is one of the few passive swamp creatures.
It's wrong AGAIN! Argentavis can't pick up these guys on mobile!!!!
Don’t do a lot of damage but have fast attack watch out
Encountering this this it looks like a baby spino and Croc combined but I find some good level (Level 10-25-almost level 30)(on the island) in the redwoods.
Look in the deep pools in the swamp biom on the center I make a 2-3 loops killing everything in the pools and I usually find 140 up f not sooner
If you don't have tranq darts, try to trap it to tame. If it runs and you have to chase it down it is losing torpor the whole time and you will end up killing it.
They ate my otter just because a wild raptor attacked them. 😭
