2. Put the Dino on turrets Mode and agressive
3. Enjoy you Walking turrets
To the guy who said that he placed turrets to kill a karkinos. Karkinoses take 10% projectile damage so a turret bullet will only deal 10 damage to it so sort of a waste. The best way to kill one is to use another one thats around the same level or higher even a lower one will work but not as well and belive me your going to be wanting to kill lots of these as each on gives you like 10 to 50 organic polmer and lots of chitin when harvested with another karkinos.
On fjordur these can be found on the abberation cave near balheimr they need catapult turrets to tame these things are walking taming pens on pc they pick creatures using right or left click respecting each hands by c they'll throw the creatures they can jump super long but they are not fall damage resistant they will take damage.up of you found this helpfull.

I'd call these guys a must tame for abby. Might not look like it but these guys are probably the most mobile or atleast have the most verticality (can jump very high) in abberation excluding rock drakes. Also, good carry weight, can carry 2 ankys at a time making metal runs extremly easy (ankys auto-harvest metal if you have them on wandering, so put them on wandering, pick them up with the crab and go near metal nodes. He can throw them, go to them, pick them up, throw them up again over and over if its too much weight and you want to head home.) But do be wary, they can pick you up and they will kill you if they do and you dont have some sort of security measure like a tamed spino nearby to target the crab if something goes wrong with trapping it.
