Not very good at fighting, too small to ride(except in mobile where you can breed giant battle dodos with fancy attachments to give them special abilities), not very effective gatherers, BUT dodos do have a few uses, they lay eggs better than normal meat and with a much longer spoil timer good for long range traveling, they are quite cute little beasties and can be nice just to keep around, you can also breed fancy dodos as decorative pets and egg producers and in PVP servers these fancy dodos serve a practical purpose: if you have enough fancy enough dodos more strategic and practical enemies will think twice about attacking you as you'll have to have been patient and with plenty of resources if you have all those fancy dodos so you might have stronger thoroughbred beasts for combat, getting ocean loot drops for ascendant weaponry and spelunking and mountaineering for the best resources.
More Dodo Utility Tips
You can get prime meat from the babies, but it spoils very quick, so this is how to get it all to a predator:
1. Incubate lots of dodo eggs so they only have one or two seconds left to hatch.
2. Carry the dodo eggs as well as a campfire (you might need two) and fuel.
3. When you’ve knocked out the predator you want, light the fire and hatch some of the dodo eggs.
4. Kill the babies and harvest their meat with a metal pick.
5. Feed the meat to the predator and enjoy!
I’ve experimented, and it looks like you get two to six prime per dodo.
Dodo's have a chance to lay an egg every time they poop. So force-feed them a bunch of stimberries (That will make them poop, and lay eggs)! Just make sure that you have some regular berries because it will make their food go down. Never again will you have to worry about obtaining Dodo eggs. You will only need to tame one!
