I'm not going to repeat their gathering abilities etc. BUT i will talk about some stats.
Wild Dire bears have low HP but it goes up very fast once tamed(+300hp per level) and they do extreme damage for such a small mount wich actually makes them a perfect mount for caving! More reliable than Barionyxes in my opinion.(i don't like the water)
More Dire Bear Utility Tips
Every dino you must have
Anky the living pickaxe (metal, obsidian)
Doedicurus the living axe (stone mostly)
Dire bear the living sickle (fiber, that pretty much it)
Argy the litteral cargo on ark (litterly lots of weight reduction)
Castoroides the ark lumberjack (woods)
Trike the soil master (tatch, berries)
Dire wolf the living tannery (hde, pelt, chitin)
Tyranosaurus rex the ark butcher (meat, prime meat, mutton)
Hits like a Mac truck, more damage than a rex, easily 8k hp, super fast, LOTS of weight, awesome stam, great attack speed, gathers meat, berries, and fiber, super easy to tame, cheap saddle, pretty much a cheap theri that hits like a rex, fast as a galli, and has quetz weight. I’m pretty much just waiting for a nerf.
