You should definitely get one they have infinite stamina and they're definitely really good for beginner tames:)

Upgrade weight and speed, you'll have yourself one badass hybrid parasaur gallimimus thing for an early game metal run.

I can’t stress how good these are. If you pump movement for a while they can be great for use in a taming pin they can jump over at least 2 or 3 high walls if in gather mode and run the sprint mode with lvs in movement it can outrun most animals on the island. On top of that later in the game gather berries with it and turn the into seeds for a lighter non-sloiling food source. One seed weights .01and gives 1 food.

THE PARASAUR YOU NEVER USED JUST GOT REPLACED

A very solid tame. They have excellent speed and weight, which makes them ideal for resource runs. Highly recommended
