Kapros will jump at you and drag you under the water. For a time you will be immobilized. Good to keep a few guardians around when hunting them.

You can Bola these on mobile. And they are easy to tame

how to get a kapro on mobile:

1: sit in swamp with your club

2: bola it while your in its mouth

3: knock it out with club and or traq arrows

4: feed it, give narcotics if necesary

5: have it follow you home

6: watch your oversized croc devour you enemys

hope this helps! (btw you dont have to do step 6)

When you find one try not to get to close and then try to lure it to a safer place of carry it with a arg and then you can knock it out and feed it prime or reqular meat or find swamp creatures to get meat and prime

Trap them with rocks they get stuck easily

Well then welcome mr Kaprosuchus to the creatures that have killed me in ark gang

Two of these grabbed me off my argy before I can grab them and killed me, not a big deal since I’m playing casual mode on mobile meaning the only stuff lost is around 100 fibre. But they damaged my ascendent chitin armour so much I have to spend 700 chitin repairing it : (

Other members of the gang includes:

-triceratops

-pteranodon (I stole an egg)

-manta

-sarcosuchus

(Just realised both crocodile species in ark have now killed me once before)

When I was pretty new to ARK I was hunting in the swamp with my raptor and pteranodon and I saw this. I thought it was a sarco from a distance but as I approached I realized it was way too small and figured it was a kapro (I would browse dododex when I was bored and look at the dinos, so j knew a good number of them). I set my dinos to passive and decided to tame it but then this mad lad leaps out of the lake and uses me as a chew toy. Luckily, I was in a single player server with high modifiers and low difficulty, so the tranq arrows I fired while he was in midair kicked in and he just went out. Still gave me a heat attack and I named him Bad Dog

If you get snatched off of your mount by a Kapro under level 10, you can punch it un-conscious before you die... don’t give up!

Get grabbed, then punch or shoot until unconscious. Shove food down its throat until it loves you.

I have at least found they’re not hard to kill. I hit one a bunch with a primitive club till it was knocked out. Sarco chased me away before I could tame it. (I’m like level five it was level 10ish)

Jumpscare creature taming guide:

1. Find one

2. If you ever get kidnapped by it, hit it with a club or shoot tranq arrows

3. Once knocked out, feed it meat

4. wait till its done taming

Hard when you’re on Genesis 2 the shadowmane we’ll kill you and your tame

Using a bola while you choke in there grasp no long works on mobile

Throw a bola at it then go from behind so it will not hit you and then go off on it😤😤

For those who get nabbed, hope you brought a shotty, cause you cant bola them anymore

Due to their rather basic AI once aggro'd from higher ground they will simply run into the wall attempting to jump at you (pick a decently high vantage point to knock out)

If they do manage to grab you I'd suggest try to knock out if you hit their head(which is easy just turn to it) it will get k.o quickly low torpor for tranq aroows

Just bred my Kapros. Got that exact colour mutation.
