The Pachyrhinosaurus is best tamed from a trap with body-focused ranged tranquilizers, but its rapidly falling torpor requires constant monitoring and a ready supply of narcotics or biotoxin before feeding it Bug Repellent or suitable crops. As an early mount, it offers strong knockback, berry gathering, head protection, passenger capacity, and calming or aggro-inducing mist for managing creatures and assisting difficult tames. Usually passive when encountered, it can flee quickly into water, while its stamina-draining mist and potentially illness-causing spray make the surrounding area hazardous during pursuit.
