Make sure to kill the babies around it because if a baby gets on it’s back it’ll bug out and the food won’t go down. Make sure people see this

Based on the provided Dossier we got, I know that they will: Disable TEK temporarily by throwing parasite infected poop, are omnivores, and so far for what we know…

Kaprosuchus, and most of swamp dino's are neutral to these guys. So don't be scared going to a swamp while riding one.

Imagine jumping from tree to tree climbing up surfaces like a thyla that sounds

If the butt can be coloured then the butt will be brown

Don't try taming with tek armor cause it throws poop that disables tek armor

I found a couple in valguero scattered around various ponds (sorry I can’t really remember the names of the biomes or the areas. I can’t tell for sure if it’s a glitch or not but they didn’t spawn in large groups, 3 at max from what Ive seen.

THEY ARE NOT IN VAL ANYMORE

It was a bug so I don’t know why it still says here so it’s good to know and not spend 5 hours of my life trying to find them. They are only on lost island

23 points   🥚 Taming & KO   Jan 23, 2022   Report

Can be found in Valguero redwoods!

How to tame, murder it's family beat the Dickens out of it (till about 85%) and shove meat down it throat and it be your. I guess it's a form of endearment.

Beware fighting raptors with these guys you will get knocked off

Hide in the bushes with monke blaze

For the person who said they are no longer on Val they could be in the future, they are part of the lost island dlc so it would kind of be more logical for them to be released there. Not trying to contradict you just trying to clarify. Not to mention that they don’t want the design for asa to be leaked or else they might kind of ruin the hype for lost island.

They also spawn on Val up so people see

Here's what you need.

A few grapples and crossbow

A gun

A lot of ammo for gun of your choosing

And I recommend a dino or pike.

Grapple to a tree, shoot all the baboons that don't have the red glow INCLUDING baby's. After they are dead, start shooting the alpha baboon until it's under 85% heath. You will know it's ready to tame when it just walks around. Put taming food of your choice in lost slot of your hot bar, then follow it around and tame.
