Kentrosaurus are dangerous, defensive herbivores that can quickly close the distance, impale targets, and immobilize them, so avoid provoking them and use ranged attacks rather than melee combat or powerful mounts. To tame one, lure it into a secure enclosure and knock it out from an elevated, safe position while avoiding its tail attacks; Compy Kibble is the fastest food, with crops as a slower option. Though they cannot be ridden, Kentrosaurus excel in herds as base defenders, deterring attackers and disrupting large threats by provoking their rage.
