Equus are so good on genesis for starting, so many times have I knocked out bigger and stronger dinos with their kick so I wouldn't have to use precious resource. Plus they are great berry harvester so you can mass gather narcoberries and mejoberries before you get mammoths or other gathering dinos. You should definitely consider this as a great starter tame on any map as they are a passive tame.

Thanks for reading

They can walk up stairs.

Not sure what to do with that information...

They’re fast, the leap distance is incredible. When saddled it becomes a mobile mortar & pestle. Always wanted to make narcotics on the go? Now you can! The back-kick does torpor damage. Aside from being squishy (health is always low), these are a perfect early game mount.

I don’t know if anyone else realised but when tamed you can craft everything the mortar and pestle can while riding the Equus

Give it a lick. It tastes just like raisins. It's amazing.

Don't Listen to people who say that they are waste of time. If are probably used they will be the best early game dino ever and in taming you just have to complete hunt Megapirana task and you will get a 10X smoothing balm and then gather 8 to 10 bushes and you will get 2 carrots then just go and tame it.

BEST THINGS ABOUT THEM IS THAT THEY DO A CONTINUOUS TORPOR DAMAGE WITH THEIR KICK NOT LIKE OTHER CREATURES LIKE PACHY AND SCORPION. AND YOU AND EASILY MAKE NARCOTICS IN THEM SO THEY ARE VERY GOOD FOR TAMING.

BTW THIS IS MY FIRST TIP.

Since I haven’t seen anyone say this, equus have six ‘classes’ based off of their power on mobile. If it’s power is 1.99 or less its in the lazy ‘class’, if it’s power is 2-3.09 it’s in the ‘normal’ class and will not have a special name when born, if it’s power is 3.10-4.50 it’s in the ‘swift’ class, if it’s power is 4.51-6.64 it’s in the ‘maiden’ class, if it’s power is 6.65-13.32 it’s in the ‘racing’ class, and finally, if it’s power is 13.33 above it’s in the ‘thoroughbred’ role. This is a good way to get a guess on a babies power when it’s born.

Using lasso on Equus can help you a lot in taming progress, as the lasso can drag many creatures even if they are unconscious!
