What is a paraceratherium used for? paraceratherium battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
You can use this guy for just about anything. Depending on server settings you can build just about anything on it platform saddle. I like two keep three of these guys around. I use one for a base away from my main base so I can keep it close to resources that are to far or to dangerous of a location to setup a permanent base. I keep one with a platform saddle in my main base for building because it can carry a lot and help place structures that are hard to reach. Then the third to harvest rare mushrooms and flowers. I know not the best tame but it can carry a lot, do a lot of damage(self defense while farming) and it’s a little faster the a bronto so still not winning a race but getting the job done.
If you're not picky about the stats on your rhyniognatha, you should definitely use this to tame your rhyniognatha, as it has a lot of health and weight capacity, and can run relatively fast with more endurance than a bronto, so you do not need to upgrade its stats very much after taming it. In addition, they're almost invisible to most swamp creatures (not including the rhyniognatha) so you can tame the rhyniognatha without much interference from the other creatures. They also spawn in the same place as the rhyniognatha so if ur REALLY not picky, you can tame the rhyniognatha on the spot without bringing a lot of its cravings with you. Hope this helps! :)

My paracer is used as a respawn point and also when on 2 player,one of my bros goes on it and steer it wherever we want to go and I usually bring my argie on the mini house and when there's something threatening in the distance,I go and scout with my argie and if I can kill it,I do so. Not Gigas of course,or high lvl rexes (My argie can kill low - mid lvl rexes so yeah we are good.)
If you’re taking something and you wanna use prime meat, these things are the absolute best source of it. Killing them could give you at least 4 stacks of prime meat. I got 12 prime meat just from one, but I used my pteranodon to kill it. A must kill for any prime meat needs
Platform saddle is useful on mining trips on the red peak (that is, if you have a base near there). I loaded up an argy, two ankys, and a refining forge I filled with angler gel. In mere minutes without even encumbering this kiddo I got over 2k+ metal ingots. I usually level on health so they don’t die. The allos that spawn on the red peak aren’t usually a problem, unless other argents are involved, making my argy get lost up too high forcing me to always have a backup flyer (a tapejara, or a pteranodon are my usual choice.
