In the new update they can collect double the honey from beehives and the bees don't damage the bear. P's they're also getting a new model

Faster than a giga, strong as a rex, with some levels can get to 1k carry, can gather and eat both berries and meat,can even gather fiber, if you tame a high level one you have a super gathering and combat mount. Unmatched in utility.

With the tamed dire bear they can kill alphas (Carnos,raptors) my 123 lvl dire bear was able to kill an alpha raptor lvl 72. They make great companions and their babies are cute

Paint it yellow and the back legs red and call it winnie the poo

Honestly the one in the picture has very ugly colors

Super easy to came just bring 10-20 prime meat (depends what level ur Dire is) the beast will get tamed up in less then 30 minutes. This beast gathers hide,fiber,berries,meat like it’s nothing. Hits like a mother trucker. Insane speed. Literally take this beats asap once you unlock its saddle.

Very glass canon-y. Sure it hits like a truck but can also die very quickly, so pump a good amount of HP on these.

OK this is probably the best way to get pellets (at least if you have a flying Mount)

The Dire Bear is the most versatile mount in the game as they are small enough to fit in all caves. Their alt attack is also above that of a Rex, and with their sprint being comparable to a gallimus nothing will get away.

if struggling early on in aberration tame one of these guys

can fight of spinos and karkinos ( unless they dismount you)

just dont try the basilisks ( learnt this the hard way)

R.I.P Pooh you were a legend
