These things are the best broodmother slayers get a group of mutated megatheriums and you’re on your way to wrecking that spider’s pointy ass

After you take one and go chitin hunting with it, be careful not to get to close to another and think it's okay because the other is half the level of yours. It's a quick way to lose a lot of work.

Metal Bill Boards are an easy way to tame it, but alternative stone traps may work (Argentavis Trap, 2x2 door way trap). I highly recommend Honey, easy to get and is practically kibble, but mutton works fine.

You know how this is good for broodmother? So why tame 17 or 18, just tane 1, then clone 16 or 17 times! Not grinding food to tame, just saddles. It's super safe, EZ as pie! Hope this helps you like it did me. (If you don't got the tek cloning machine engrams, ask a…

to tame these in ark mobile, go into the dungeon and retrieve its implant then leave (by dying) the dungeon. It will take around 30 amber to revive and eats meat to tame

They are veru good in gathering fiber better than mosschops and very good in harvesting berries more narco berries better than paraceratherium
