Quite possibly the only completely harmless creature in the swamp.

It sorta looks like a Japan giant salamander.

If having trouble finding one in the swamps try bringing a parasaur with you and use its detection ability to see all nearby carnivores hiding in the water and walk up to them to check if they are a diplo. as long as you have some sarcos or barrys to clear out the piranhas you will find one in a couple of minutes easy.

Usually is being chased By a dinosaur from the swamps

Will farm about 25 chitin per trilobite and will kill and collect a trilobites loot in 1 bite, also you dont need scuba gear since you can ride it and take its oxygen.

Found anywhere in the swamp area

When you don't know anything about ark you think it is going to eat you. You go up to it, then it runs away from you with a smile.

Try to chase it out of the swamp to where it’s safer than tranqu it

When I was a noob I thought these were passive tames

Whenever I find one they're surrounded by mantas

I found one washed up on the shore still alive on the beach of the Western Approach nowhere near a swamp. I saw a bunch of sharks nearby it so I guess that’s why it was running away.

I don’t know if an update took this out but the last time I saw one of these It threw its tongue out at my neck and immediately knocked me out and dragged me away and then a sarco came and it ran and the sarco killed me. Little bastard lol.
