You guys know you can pick this up with a pteranodon, right?

Outside of not having saddle armor and being harder to tame, this little guy is essentially an upgraded Ichthyosaur. They give you oxygen like a scuba tank (abd available much much earlier) and are the best creatures for harvesting trilobites. Just don't expect much in the way of combat capability. You can't shoot off the back though, which reduces their usability for underwater taming. Perfect for resource cave runs. As they are amphibious you can take them over land to places other aquatics can't reach, although you will want a flyer to carry them because of how slow they are. Even a Pteranodon will work.

They're also skrunkly little salamanders, it's impossible not to love them.

It's a scuba tank and flippers all in one. Also looks like those aliens off of Pitch Black so that's cool.

They are in redwood swamp lake you can just carry them with argy

I saw one when I was flying around on my argy looking for a spino went down to look at it (I didn’t have a magnifying glass) and a sarco ate it

I always feel bad for accidentally scaring them when I walk by them at the swamp area🥺

They have infinite oxygen until you take oxygen of it so u don’t drown.

To get the “Infinite Oxygen” back you need to take this creature to land.

Finding and catching:

Diplocaulus is found in the swamps I'd say they're uncommon but predators will kill them if they're nearby making them hard to find. I strongly recommend using a flying Dino when looking for one I used a pteranodon for it but you can use whatever can pick it up. They're pretty simple to find but DO NOT TRY TO TAME IN THE SWAMP. Unless your really prepared I wouldn't recommend risking it. When I was catching it I picked it up with my ptera and put it in a taming pen at my base. When picking it up wait for it to be on land, because if it's in the water it's much harder to pick up or maybe it's not possible I don't know(I spent hours trying to pick one up in the water and died many times). It may take a while to find one on land it'll save you a lot of trouble.

Note: don't try to go for one that's already being attacked by another Dino especially kaprosuchus

Knocking out and taming:

In the pen knocking it out is simple just use tranqs or darts, also keep in mind the health you don't want it to die. When it's knocked out taming is like any other Dino just put the kibble or meat and wait. I starved mine to make the taming a bit faster and found that the hunger decreases relatively quick and you can speed that up by sleeping while it's torpor is around 3/4 or more. Not really much to say it's torpor drains slow so you won't need to many narcotics unless your starving it and by the end of the tame you should have yourself a newly tamed diplocaulus.

Can depend straight down slightly at a angle similar to the frog but not completely straight down, very useful to farm with combined with a dunk in a cryo, quick down and up and metallic treasure ahoy!

It's a living SCUBA tank!

But its hard do get out the swamp because there are lots of bad guys.

Use a flyer to transporter it away

They have what I like to call “The Ovis Syndrome”, where a rare dino is made further rare by being weak and in a biome filled with predators. They are incredibly hard to find and even if found, usually they are halfway to being in the gaping maw of a Sarco.

If you want to tame one definitely bring an eagle to carry it away, even with an assault rifle (don’t use tames since they might accidentally kill the Diplo in the crossfire) it’s likely a snake or Dilo might sneak by and quickly kill your would be tame.

These creatures are rare so I would tame it but they are found in swamps so knock it out and build a wall around it everything wants to kill this thing or pick it up with a argent and go to your base

What I would do is I would fly on a pter or argent and I would find a croc chasing something and if it’s a diplocaulus pick it up and put it down somewhere safe.

Only way to get artifacts on primitive plus in ocean caves. Ride a high lvl with 4 or 5 sharks or barrys on follow aggressive

One of my fav Dino’s. If you some reason like to travel through water use these guys cuz you can take breathe from them and basically breathe underwater

Will gather black pearls from trilobites. I had killed 6 in 2 minutes and gathered 4 black pearls on 1x.

Really good dino to tame and the oxegen is very good and knocks out easy i would recomend

You can use raw fish if you don't have time for cooked prime meat

Hey just say “ hey bloop” if you know where they spawn in mobile pls
