I don’t tame em because their saddle is unlock at lvl 30 and I’m not the type of guy that does note runs if ever by the time I unlock their saddle i have access to stegos trikes which while harder to tame I found them to be better at everything except travelling but 8 levels later u get the pteranodon which can avoid all dangers and have comparatively the same taming difficulties except that Pteranodons are everywhere so I rarely tame them unless the xp multiplier is higher than like 6 not saying they are useless just saying that I don’t find them useful to me
A must tame, why?
It's easy. Bola, tranq arrows and berries.
Best travel mount: Unlimited stamina and you can improve movement speed. Pump 10 levels into speed and this thing zooms everywhere!
Fairly tanky: It can take a beating meaning better survival chance but also good for taming aggressive creatures.
You can shoot while riding: Making taming safer and easier. Anything tries to run away they have no chance.
Berry Gathering: Good for taming or just eating.
Seeding: Good for starting a small farm of your choice.
They can fight back, fending off Dilos, raptors, even Baryonx and Sarcos.
They can jump: Good for clearing obsticals but also getting on high rocks as a vantage point to tranq out creatures such as Carnos.
They're fast swimmers: Not something you want to take in the ocean but fast enough to cross small lakes and rivers and fast enough to outrun Jellyfish. Mine can outswim a Megeladon lol.
Kibble: They're eggs make decwnt kibble which in turn can help tame decent mounts.
Basically they're awesome!
