An auto turret killed a baby’s parents so I tranqed out this cute baby penguin.Then I harvested its parents and fed their remains to it ended up naming this baby “cannibal”

Perhaps i belong on a war crimes list for this, but i have a male and female of these with breeding enabled in a building with a dimetrodon set to aggressive, the dimetrodon hatches the eggs with enough melee stat and then eats the hatched babies for an infinite polymer farm

Tame a bunch and make a penguin farm for poly. Nine females to one male works great. Set up a bunch of ACs and have them on wander when the babies hatch club them. Free poly within the comfort of your own base!

Put a male in middle, at least three females surrounding it, put sloped ramps so fermented eggs fall down. Put something that has good weight reduction and or good farming for organic polymer, it will kill babies

+ur not the monster cuz ur tame kills them :)

Their sole purpose is to be killed for organic polymer, but you can tame and breed them for it:

Tame a whole bunch of them (you only need one male), and a dimetrodon and pelagornis.

Level the dimetrodon's melee damage a whole bunch and put it in a cage surrounded by penguins set to mating. Put the pelagornis in with them at set it to aggressive, the dimetrodon will incubate the penguin eggs and the pelagornis will immediately kill them when they hatch, free organic polymer factory.

DO NOT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE AS I DID. I hit headshots when trying to knock this oversized penguin out, and it died... Just remember to go for the body, and only use tranq DARTs, otherwise it will die, please share to others

Want to know something awesome?

A swarm of these in the water teams up AMAZINGLY with a Baryonyx! Use the stun attack on Alpha Sharks or Alpha Carno and watch as your team of Tuxedo hitmen nips them into a surprised-looking skeleton. Its hilarious.

I found a green one in the middle of the redwood- Is that odd? (I’m on mobile)

Knock it out with tranq darts and feed it, its children

They are so cute! I tamed one today and I named it Karri. She is a juvenile and very weak but still cute. If you kill baby or juvenile kairukus on purpose. I will find and burn your base in multiplayer.

You can carry them on any flying mount and stay warm in the snow biome if you live there or need to collect resources because of there ability to warm up its surrounding area.

Idk if sm1 has said this but if you hit them with a club they give you polymer

369 points   🥚 Taming & KO   May 28, 2017   Report

YOU CAN PUT A REX BONE HELMET ON THEM!!!!!!

It might sound weird, but raw meat is actually better for taming them than raw fish (Dododex plz update your chart!)

Well, ARK, it's time for a new DLC.

So I didn’t see this on the comments but they can be very useful.

1.they can incubate eggs like dimetrodons

2.they can be used as house pets and are very cute

3.they can calm you down and easy to kill and get prime meat,they really help

Hope this tip is helpful :3
