Who else thinks they should be able to pick up poop when wandering?!

Tame a Phioma(Those fat gray pigs) and give them stim berries because they will start pooping a ton and you can fill your dung beetles that way for more fertilizer

Only upgrade weight

This may sound weird but I think they are really cute

Once you use them for oil and fertilizer they will get hungry so instead of wasting their weight for food keep a feeding trough nearby with spoiled meat😁

Phioma + Dungbeetle = infinite fertilizer

Get some weight on it and rapidly cap it with poop (medium works best) and take it back out. Repeat consistently and instant fertilizer. If you need poop, tame a phiomia and force feed it stimberriea.

Wanna upgrade other stats? Listen well! Grab a tamed beetle fill your own inventory with all the poop that phiomia produces lock you and your beetle in a cage. Set his ass to Aggressive and unclaim it. Let it murder you and it'll have all the poop from your inventory. Reclaim it and wallah. Now you can increase its health

You can grab Wild Dung Bettles using a Grappling Hook and bring them to a safer place to tame, even on PVE. Works Great on Skull Cave on The Center and probably on caves too.

Only up weight for dem big poops.

The Dung Beetle creates fertilizer and oil when he poop are in inventory. It must be wandering to produce. To remain at that spot, place it in a cage on a foundation (ceiling = drop)

Just feed it poop you don’t have to knock it out.

You can’t feed beetles titanosaur poop. So best is diplo or bronto poop. Go in a cave with bug repellent and a raptor (a strong one). You can go to the hunter’s cave because it is the easiest cave and megalosaurus won’t spawn there nor will centipedes spawn a lot in the there. If you are far away, bring Argentavis to carry the raptor and pick up the beetle yourself. If your lvl is too low well I guess you’re gonna need to travel all the way back on raptor-back. Again.

After you use them for fertilizer and oil for awhile they will get hungry. They eat spoiled meat :)

Get yourselves a Phiomia as well! Feed it stimberries and you'll have plenty of medium feces to throw in the dung beetle. Fill it up, and come back and watch more fertilizer than you can imagine. I'll never use compost bins again!

On Valguero, they only spawn in the scar so be careful for Wyvs but grappling hooks work perfectly in PVE if you’re alone. I used a PT for easy getaways :)

When I was exploring the artifact of the clever. I met this little guy halfway through I decided to tame the beetle with spoiled meat. After a while, he was tamed and I called him companion but that was short lived as I was attacked by a swarm of spiders, scorpions, and iballisks and companion was trying to kill them, you can already guess what happened...

Probably the most powerful creature on the whole island

Carryable by Kaprosuchus as of May 2020. (Not sure if they were before; Dododex says they are not)

One way to describe this creature:
