I think ark should make narcotic spike walls, because narcotic tripwire traps render it untameable. Narcotic spike walls will deal damage to the creature attacking them, but not as much as a regular spike wall. Then you could stand in a ring of narcotic spike walls with a pachyrhino, use aggro mist, and tame some of the unconsious creatures! To craft a narcotic spike wall, i think you should need: One spike wall and 5 narcotic. The narcotic spike wall is similar to the tranq arrow, ingreadients and function. Please ^ if you want this idea to come to life! ;D

Did you know that Pachyrino's calm puff can reduce creatures' food fast?

That is VERY useful in taming.

Want hide? Build a circle of spike walls around it and use the rage function. Sit back, grab some popcorn, and watch all the nearby creatures kill themselves.

Can you use its “mists” (idk what to call it) on mobile? I want to know if there worth taming (⬆️ if they can ⬇️ if they cant) ty!

While fishing, are you sick of all the fish being scattered? If you bring this dino near the shore or on a boat where fish are near by and use the aggro mist, it will aggro the fish to come right to you in a big crowd!

For mobile, left swipe down for rage and left swipe up for hidden.

They have a two-seated saddle for you to bring an extra person (like the griffin). Nobody said this yet (that I’ve seen) so there you go.

It has two powers

1 it releases gas which doesn't make a predator hir him

2 he agros dinos on it

And also multi passenger realy great dino

It's a Pachyrhino and it knows what to do, one puff of agro buff and you're tamin' a zoo!

If you run while riding one of these and then hop in the passenger seat, it keeps running! It’ll keep going until it hits an obstacle, in which case then it will either turn and walk in another direction or stop. Btw I’m on mobile and idk if this works on pc/console

Tamed a pair! At the Edge of Lower South Cave Island, close to Swamp. Can also tame Ankys there. T_T Saw a high lvl & I just tamed a low lvl at herbivore so I was furious! 😂 My base is at lower south cave, only a walks away but I was taming Pachyrhinos and there torpor drop fast! So I jus watched angrily as it walked around, punching the air. Female, almost max lvl >:C Arks Been Messing With Me! Playing on Hard Casual xD it’s amazing!!

The DPS of these guys is actually insane for a small-medium herbivore. They have 28 base damage, which is not the best, but they hit like 5 times per second. I tamed a lvl 130 (in the wild, lvl 194 tamed) with ~500% melee damage and that thing can shred through all of the health of a mid level Trike (about 750-1250 health) before it even reacts. I then went to more dangerous areas to see how good it was. It destroyed a lvl 140 Chalicotherium (~3000 health) in the matter of seconds. Then I took on a lvl 60 Bronto (~7000 health); the Bronto didn’t stand a chance, as the knock back of this thing makes it very difficult for enemy creatures to hit it, even including giants like the Bronto. From my testing it seems like the DPS of my Pachyrhino (now lvl 200) is similar to that of my lvl 210 Carno and only slightly lower than that of my lvl 200 Rex. This has to be one of the most underrated creatures in the game.

(Note: this is one mobile, not sure if it’s as good on other versions)

They eat bug repellent, and their chemical attack "repels" other dinos. Its called LOGIC.

Best utility is to aid with difficult passive tames, possibly even onyc or the spiders,also dinos that run when turpor is high I think u can reel them back in with red mist(further testing needed)

Their “nice” gas might be the gas form of soothing balm. Also it’s effect is to reduce the stamina of everything caught in the “soothing” cloud. Also if it lays eggs why not make its crap soothing balm?

When tamed, it's pacify ability makes it very useful in a cave. Likely very useful in passive tames as well, as it keeps them calm.

To the person who said can i use it's gas attack to KO dinos no u cannot it is only used to deaggro creatures.

Their chemical spray CAN hide you from wyverns and rock drakes as long as you don’t have one of their eggs in your or the pachyrinosaurs inventory.

These takes make an excellent starting mount, while being weaker than a trike it can pacify most animals smaller than a Rex, giving you a good escape from and hungry pack of raptors and can Agro animals using its other scent thing, which comes in handy in leading creatures into a trap. It is also a two seater and is faster than the trike.
