Tips & Strategies

I have only seen these in caves so far but they are useful for fertiliser when you are growing crops and Plants Species X etc.
More Dung Beetle Encountering Tips
Probably the most powerful creature on the whole island
If you wish to find these, look hard in the south cave. There is bound to be one there
Theyโre sure cute and knock out well with large poops ~ anxious St0ner
An easy area to find the dung beetles is the south cave.
Tip for fjordur:
Can be found in the dung beatle cave in the red woods located at 25.1 LAT and 93.1 LON. It's just a small little cave full of these little fertilizer machines.
ON lost island u can find them on swamp beaches
Adult dung beetles may also be picked up by procoptodons despite what Dododex says
A good Southern Cave Set
Longneck Rifle: Keep enough ammo and durability to one shot low lvl Spiders and boas
The Direbear hunt Sword: Obtained through the Direbear Hunt Quest on Mobile, very powerful in a close range setting
Whatever you loot from the corpses: You can find weapons in these guys(somehow), which can keep you going for longer
Pike: If you absolutely run out of options, but donโt want torpor inflicted, this is a good option to keep them away, looted spears work well too.
Spoiled Meat: If you happen to knock out a creature there or stumble across a dung beetle, donโt hesitate to tame one so your life is easier.
Jerky or Cooked Meat: Cooked food restores a little hp every time itโs consumed, and jerky lasts longer(Cooked meat can also turn into spoiled meat)
Water containers: There is little accessible water in caves, so bringing some will be your best ally.
An Aggro Immune Mount: Some say that a cave tamed Araneo on mobile has the immunity to aggro like itchys, just so long as they fit through the entrance
A torch: So you can see without the light of crystals
Strong Armor: While most creatures in the south cave do little to no damage, the centipede is one of the toughest and deadly foes in there.
Up if you found the set helpful
On Ragnorak you can find them in the volcano biome beside the highlands . Very easy tame just use a couple of spoiled meats or dung. They have to be on wander to produce fertilizer, i keep mine in my greenhouse.
If your playing on the lost island you can find some in the swamp
