Help it’s on my switch,I typed in the admin bar summontamed crab_character_BP_C ,now it’s just coelacanth dying randomly and “your level 12 karkinos killed a coelacanth.and then I spawned a untamed one and now there is just the music that plays when something wants to murder you,I tried shooting it with a harpoon but it is invisible and I think not even a solid,but it’s there.
These guys are a pain to tame but so worth it. They're a great replacement for traps when taming, just pick up the dino that you want to tame (if you can) hop off and shoot it, the karkinos does not drop what's in its claw when you dismount thus eliminating the need for traps for small & medium tames. They're also great for harvesting oil from trilobite, just pick one up in each claw and wack wack, easy! I can farm hundreds of oil in half an hour doing this. Also avoid fights where possible, these guys have an annoying animation they do when hit and they won't walk or jump during making it nearly impossible to get away. Ravagers are passive towards these though so you don't need to worry about them.
