THEY CAN GET YOU OFF YOUR MOUNT SO RUNNNNN

have a base in the swamp tame 5 of these put them on wandering and agressive and your gold on food

I encountered this thing it made my game crash I went back in the game as dead (as always) but then my bro to killed it so noice

To find these new dinosaurs on scorched earth, go to water locations to find them.

Swamps are crazy places to go, gotta be crazy to go there, but I did, wanted to find a Kappa to replace the one that got eating by a Thermo. Second time looking for one and finding only Sarcos so I decide to finally tame one, get one down and tame underway and a Baryonyx shows up, had only just been researching it the nigbt before as my next tame so tackle him get it down and tame underway, then a Kappa bowls me over, struggling now but finally get him down and tame. Walked out of the swamp with the three, that was enough for the morning.

When encountering stand at a higher ground than them

These guy are meant to jump straight not high

Can use grapple hook to get out of its mouth.

I hope to see then in ARK 2 (they are underrated and they have some really good uses when tamed and they are also very interesting)

If you are a mobile player, although it might still be good on other devices, start breeding them! On mobile in my experience even a level 20 can do the same damage as a theri! It’s much easier to hatch them then tame them, especially with imprinting. They also have epic colour regions, and I got a cyan colour on its top half while I was playing on a server, this guy gave me a gc for it. (Golden collar) they are much better then raptors, although they are easier to tame in my opinion. If you play pvp, get a pack of 5+ and you could kill a Rex.

They can grab raptors and they can leap REALLY far

I tamed a lvl 2 with like 150 meat and 0 narcotics, but it took way too long! Uhhh, easy taming? Sure. Quick taming? Nope.

If get kidnapped by these things just hit them with your strongest melee weapon

Screw these guys. I hate them, i hate the mothers that birthed them and i send them to hell. They have killed me countless times and i think ive killed, nope cant get close enough to kill them. If spotted run, run far and run fast. If you spot one while turning a corner and its just there 20 ft away start crying and hope it didnt see you.

Easy kapro taming

1. Get meat, a crossbow, and 10 to 50 tranqs, and a bed

2. Find a good swamp where kapros spawn

3. Find a safe place to set down the bed. Now you have a respon point

4. Find a good kapro

5. Let him (or her!) pick you up

6. Keep shooting tranqs at its head

7. Feed it raw or prime meat

8. Name it based off of its color

9. Make its saddle

10. Take your kapro out for a spin

Tame one if you play on a PvP server. The fact that they can pick up players (and even some smaller mounts), you can ambush them as they leave their base and bring them to a buddy who is riding a much more dangerous mount. If you are on/near the beach you can pick people up and drown them very easily (because it naturally drains the stam of anything it grabs, plus players will waste stam punching it in a panic).

They will eat your soul if you like it or not

Such annoying creatures don’t trust them….

I ended up taming a level 100 Kapro on Crystal Isles. I was scouting with my level 230 (approximate) pteranodon — oddly enough, I found a lone one just off of the shore in the shoals biome (this area was a bit close to a swamp, so). They are very scary in the water, as they will leap right out of it in an attempt to attack you and your tame granted that you are close enough to the ocean’s surface. I led one onto the beach and was lucky enough to find a tall enough rock to land upon so that the aggravated creature couldn’t reach me. It took several tranq arrows to knock it out using a crossbow. After assuring that the area around me was clear and there weren’t any more threats, I had easily tamed it with a stack of raw meat and carefully led it back to my base. It was easier than I had expected to tame one, even as it was a high level. The advice I would give other players is that if you are going to lead one to a tall rock so you can tranquilize one without getting attacked, I’d still be careful to make the best judgement call with the rock and be 100% positive that it has no parts of it that the creature can pounce onto and find its way to you. By the way, I’m pretty new to Ark still, so my strategy may not be that professional — but I hope it helps other new players!

Great for caving! Small enough to fit in most caves without cryopods, quick enough to run through the caves without much hassle, immune to leeches in the swampy caves, and candles grab and dispose of Arneos easily!

These are completely savage.. I was barely in a swamp biome and all of a sudden im being launched at by this arsehole, next thing I know im back in the middle of the river
