Deodicerus Can curl up in the wild.. but not when tamed I think this should be added if they can curl up in the wild they should be able to curl up when tamed
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.

Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Doedicurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
They sometimes spawn in South zone 2 and the swamp, that's where I see them
No one has pointed out that when you mount these bad boys and hit Right-Click or secondary attack, they will go into Sonic spin mode to travel... Neat!
You see the doedicurus is one of the most useful explanation why so useful: 1 explanation]you can farm sa bunch of stone using them 2 explanation] amber farming they gather 50 amber to one hundred amber in total
Insane tame for collecting stone, if you have a quetz just drop it into taming pen but mind out how many tranqs you use as it will go in to a ball if it takes to much damage
Need element dust? Use this guy on lightposts in Extinction and it will collect over 100 element dust per lightposts on 1x gathering rate! As well as some crystal, scrap metal, and electronics!
Can confirm on Crystal Isles it does not pick up Obsidian
Hello, this is my second tip after my argy tip, im gonna tell you how to easily tame it and what it was used for,

Hello, this is my second tip after my argy tip, im gonna tell you how to easily tame it and what it was used for,
TAMING:
First you just need to prepare a weapon and the ammo and that was:
1. U can use an bow or crossbow with an Tranq Arrow for knocking it out
2. U can use an riffle with the ammo of Tranq dart
Or 3. U can just use a slingshot with rock as an ammo
After that you need to prepare a food and the food was berries or you can use kibble, and don't forget the narcotic/biotoxin for keep it unconcious
And you just need to find one
And after you find 1 just knock it out and feed it ( i recommended to hit it on head not on his Shell ) and after that just keep looking the unconcious bar if it reduce feed it with biotoxin or narcotic to keep it unconcious
And after it's tamed, tadaaaa you have an stone collector, this Dino is can used to get much of stone
And i think only that i was want to tell you
And sorry for the bad English cuz i am an indonesian

Just space out your shots by a few seconds and make sure it doesn’t take too much damage
Build some kind of structure in the volcano with four foundations and eight walls pick it up with a bird and drop it in the tame to your heats content I recommend a high level Horse.
Build a 3x3 platform, then build a metal/stone hatchframes on top and put a ramp leading up to them. Build walls up top and lure Doe onto top level. Go below and shoot underside through hatchframes with tranq darts, done
Best for gathering element dust. Make this higher on the list so more people know about it.
I see many new players struggling with taming one… those who lead to shore or look for a safe place…
A way better idea for starters is go level up by gathering explorer notes and tame a petra.
Then go to redwood tame a argy
Use the argy to look for a DEOD take it to…

Yes taming takes too long with no kipple but taming at your base is way better and faster…
Don’t have more arrows? Your base is there and just make extra arrows if you run out
Best for harvesting stone, and can roll.
If you want to merk one of these for whatever reason you can use a yuty to fear-roar them out of their shell and do full damage
Looking to the right is a faster attack. Makes farming a small amount faster
You can trap them with stone fence supports, you should shoot them in the head not the shell its shell only takes 50% of the torpor from each shot. It took me 4 shots into its head to K’O it with a rifle and tranq darts.
It’s hard to knock this bad man out
This dino is underrated i got 3,000 stone in 10 mins w mine i swear they soo good plus if u have a tickle chicken then u can get wood and trikes, brontos etc get thatch so if ur like me and have a tickle chicken a bronto and a doedecrius then u can get everything u need to make…

Two of these with high melee in your high weight crab claws and two tribe mates riding em will break the game..
