If you mess up and the Karkinos ends up having low hp. Find a small creature, kill it(do not harvest it) and bring its lifelless body to the Karkinos. Stand near the dead body so that when the Karki hits you it also eats the body and regains full hp but the torpor still…

Basically the new quetz. Super weight and can carry tames to harvest resources and then throw them back into the base ;)

Put a catapult on a paracer, bring a high health turtle (carbomemys), whistle attack with the turtle and when the crab hits it put it in passive so you can easily aim and hit him on the body. No weird engineering needed.

You can fire weapons while riding it. Hold a creature you'd like to tame, then tranq it while your crab holds it in a claw - makes solo taming easy!
