Probably the most versatile ground mount. Can kill almost everything, with good saddle and imprint can even kill Alpha Rexes and death worms. Can gather honey, berries, meat, fiber, hide, pelt etc. At full speed can outrun Gallis and Micro raptors. You can shoot while mounted so it's good as taming companion. It also has an insulation effect like Otter and Dimetrodon so you can use it in cold/hot areas or for egg hatching. You can safely gather honey with right click, so if you have one you can tame others with high efficiency without kibble.
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.
