How do I kill a dimorphodon? dimorphodon battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
It looks cool when a dimorph is doing its level up animation on your shoulder
I went to raid a base with 4 buddies, a rex, 3 carnos, and a bronto with a platform saddle and cannons. All we heard was a whistle and i swear about 50 of these little devil's swarmed the whole group, killing everyone in the group and one carno, the turrets shredded everything else, but the rex must have ran off and we never got a death message so its still out there in the jungle.
When in areas that have many dimorphadon remember to be careful and not to hit one by accident when fighting other creatures as you can easily be overwhelmed.your mount will not be able to save you as they deal damage directly to the rider.
Whatever you do, DO NOT piss these things off when you have low level dinos. You accidentally hit one while attacking something else, and 6 more will pop out of nowhere, and swarm you-killing 2 mid level pteranodons, your FIRST 2 EVER Argies, and leaving you 300 metal and crystal in the negative.
Never hit one unless it's alone. I managed to tame my first one because he was lonely
I laugh when I read about people freaking out over dimorphodons on mobile because they accidentally stepped on one and have 25+ of them come after them. I have stepped on these buggers so many times I lost count. However there is a way to live if you do step on one and a swarm comes for you. All you need to do is have a large such as a therizinosaurs,bronto,rex,giga,etc. Stay in one place preferably on a rock or such where you have higher ground. Then just start attacking them continuously without moving from that spot. You will begin to see their bodies shoot off like baseballs. This is the fun lovable sport called dimorph ball.
Beware the winged rat. Death will come to those who underestimate these buggers especially in a flock.
When attacking one, all dimprpodons in the area will attack you along with the one you attacked. When this happens, it is best to just take a weapon such as a pike and repeatedly stab the air. You will hit them as they fly by to attack you. Also, be careful even when you are on a mounted dino. They can attack the player while it is still on the dino, and can kill you. This happened to me as well; even though I was on a rex, a swarm of dimorphodons killed me while I was on the saddle. Luckily I was close to my base so I could just respawn and get my stuff back. However, you should still be careful about accidentally attacking on of these. Others can come out of seemingly nowhere.
Do not attack in groups when on tame they kill the driver before the Dino
Was flying on my quetz and I watched a level 8 and 12 take out a level 56 Rex.
If you find one try to tame it and others the attacks you can unleash with just 10 death birds is insane
They hide behind rocks then when u try to eat your meal you've just killed with your argie BLAM dimorphadon swarm
I watched three of these reck a paraceratherium. Beware.
Saw three of these kill a Paracertherium with ease.. They're tougher than they look.
Got twenty meanwhile harvesting from a dead Spino
The most efficient way to kill them are using some stegosaurus which can easily hit many ate one blow u can also use a basilisk or a bronto . However these are very good tames and and can easily kill big animals if u tame 4 or 5 of them
When I first started playing I saw one and was like, “hey, this thing it small. It should be easy to nock out and take.” About 15 had gang up on me by the time I got to my bace. Tip for new players: DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE THESE THINGS. And be careful not to pick up an egg by accident, too.
Earlier tonight on my Island single-player game, I watched a wild Rex get completely wrecked by three of these things. All three flew away from the Rex’s body completely unharmed.
I’m kinda scared now...

So if your landing and you see a turtle or para you wanna attack. Watch out to see if there are any of these guys. One time I was resting my argy and I decided to attack a turtle. I killed the turtle and I must of hit one of these and when I was about to take off I saw about 20 dimorph’s coming at me. Lesson:Don’t hit a dimorph
Never shoot one with a tranq dart with a very fast/flying mount nearby they will attack and then run/fly away whilst fighting. Lost 2 quetzals and a raptor to these irritants
