A must have tame for beginners! If you go under water with it you can ride on it and it gives you near infinite oxygen and if you dismount it you can have it burp into you mouth for mor oxygen!

Random fact: this creature is pretty much alive today. It is a species of salamander known as a hammerhead salamander. I hope you liked this random fact!

Super easy tame. Knock out with and bow and trans. Feed it raw meat. Boom 💥 TAMED!

This baby don't need a saddle to ride and gives you oxygen while riding and also supplies you with a breath 🫁 or 2 under water.

✨ANNND another thing it is SUPER fast under water 💦

All these tips here tells you how to tame it... but what they fail to mention is the fact, you have to breed it on land, can’t move the egg and the baby HAVE to STAY IN THE WATER!! Don’t push the baby on land or it WILL EXPLODE!!!! I just watch my baby explode right before my eyes!!! Never have I seen a Dino exposed before!!!

Poor things always getting killed by the Kaprosuchus and the Sarcosuchus.

They are like so rare for me so I always try to save them if they are being attacked by a Sarco or Kapro. They come in cool colors too like dark BLUE!

How to tame diplocaulus

Where to find:

Diplocaulus spawn in swaps but they are rare but many of them spawn in dungeons.

Taming details:

Diplocaulus are knockout tames and they eat meat

Problems:

Diplocaulus are always getting eaten by everything so if find one keep it safe also diplocaulus have low health so you might accidentally kill it

Abilities when tamed:

Diplocaulus can only be ridden underwater and they dont need saddles and when you ride it yoy wont loose oxygen but the diplocaulus will and diplocaulus are fast underwater

They are skittish but not anywhere near faster than humans. They have low torpor and health, so tranq darts are recommended. Tamed like any carnivore, kibble is Archeopteryx. Can be found anywhere in and around the swamps.

On a 135, 13 crossbow shots DO have a chance of killing it.

These guys are the kings of trilobite hunting. Not only do they deal additional damage to them, they're great at collecting chitin, oil, and pearls. Other perks: they don't need a saddle to be ridden while in the water, they provide you with oxygen underwater, and are faster than just about anything while swimming. Super underrated mounts imo.

BREATHE AIR! (it’s also fast aughhhhhhhh)

Quite possibly the only completely harmless creature in the swamp.

A great utility Dino with a damage multiplier vs trilobites. Great source for collecting chitin, silica pearls, and oil in the early stages of the game.

Please listen to me! I haven't had these guys for long, but I noticed their healing was very low, about 0.1, while on land. When I went into the water with it so it could swim, the healing went up to about 1.2 per second. But the biggest thing is, I force fed it meat to heal, like with all carnivores. If you do this in the water, it heals hundreds with just a few pieces! I am going out to the seas in a bit. Knowing this healing factor will help a lot!

One time while I was hunting terror birds I saw a really pretty orange female one. Sadly, it seems the terror birds were on a hunt for it. But I finished them off for their evil deeds against rare salamanders. Up is respect for the endangered lizards

Useful to supply oxygen to divers who do not have scuba gear at hand but very weak in battle.

Free bird

They go fast.if you make them right.

Dude I saw my first one today and I've been playing ark for 2 months and I'm level 48 I wanted to tame it but a baryonyx a sarco and a flying lizard killed it I was so sad bro never escaped 1u.p =1 rip for my guy

To whoever said this is not rideable anymore, Dippy and I wholeheartedly disagree

Do NOT I repeat, do NOT go too deep into the ocean. Just like Basils, they will take damage from the pressure of deep water.
