Have a friend pick one up and hold it with an argy while you tranq it. Can’t ball up and your shooting it from underneath anyway. Or, you can use a longneck and tranq darts to knock them out before they even take enough damage to ball up in the first place.
Doedicurus
The Doedicurus is an armored, armadillo-like herbivore prized for gathering and carrying stone. When threatened, it curls into a remarkably well-protected ball.

The doe can get more stone from river rocks than ordinary rocks (remember it only gets stone)
YOU SHOULD USE IT IN WATER IT IS MUCH FASTER IN WATER
If it rolls up into a ball, get out of render distance on a flyer or fast tame for a bit then come back it should normal then you can tranq it once or more if lucky, rinse and repeat. Their torpor drops at 2.4 per second, as long as you keep pumping tranqs in under 30-45…

Idk about y’all… but this thing is better at collecting obsidian than the anky. My anky only collected like 40-50 but the doed collected like 100-110 each vein :/
So if you’re on scorched earth just use a boomerang they are slow. So you can just easily boomerang them and have a new fried
One of the cutest creatures in the game!
Do NOT, I repeat, DO NOT use tranq arrows it will kill it and I found a lvl 150 one and I stuck 200 tranqs in its head and it still didn't go down.
Will only collect obsidian on island map. Up vote for island nation
About combat: "They see me rolling... They hatin'..."
Get a doed and a quetz. Pair them together for stone runs. Gather 4500 stone in 10 minutes or so depending on how far you have to go to nodes. Makes building a stone base easy and fast.
This creature is tied for the 2nd best Element Dust gatherer in the game. If you need element dust, use one of these!
you can definetly tame these with tranq arrows. put some wooden spikes around it and feed it soothing balm if you can. you dont need too much narcotics if you use soothing balm
This thing can't be tamed using bole.you need to use tranq arrow if we shoot it it we attack.so avoid its attack and hit in its head
Once you're deep in tranq darts trying to tame this, punch it... I punched it and it unwound itself to start running, punched it again and it became unconscious.. almost used 15 darts before I knew the shell absorbs half torpor 🥲🥲 he's a level 2 😂
Their torpor rate is lower than most creatures, needs to be updated.
I haven't been playing long enough to know if this is an actual change but when I was taming it with a crossbow, headshots worked fine and it didn't curl up, it just ran away(slowly)
Finding this animal can be extremely difficult especially on official servers if you don't have a flyer yet. It's less rare near mountains and metal spawns. One of the most easy places to find one on the Island, is in the middle of redwood.
The amount of algae is incorrect for small tribes. Would take 14 for 145
Idk why but the Dode is better than my ank at getting obsidian it needs to be up higher on the list. I get liek 30-40 with it and anky only gets liek 10-12
