Tips & Strategies
The Parasaur is an overpowered early tame, so here is a guide to it! #1. The parasaur is found on beaches, deserts, typically anywhere. They are fast, and have lots of weight. All you have to do is bola your desired parasaur, and knock it out ( I recommend punching it with your fists). Then you give it berries. #2. The parasaur’s saddle unlocks at the same level as the bola: Level 7. They have a few abilities: A standard attack, a scan ability where anything in the area that will kill you is a red dot, and a roar that scares off small Dino’s, including raptors! #3. They collect a decent amount of thatch, but not so much wood. All you have to do is attack a berry bush, and you get berries! I hoped this guide helped you understand the Parasaur!

More Parasaur Utility Tips
Utility Roles for Parasaur:
1. Long Range Scout. Paras have naturally high stamina, so they can cover distance without needing to rest. Plus their turret mode gives you alerts for nearby enemies (level Movement Speed to ensure you can outrun any threats you come across...RIP my very first Para)
2. Pack Mule. Paras have very high weight for the early game. Even low level Paras can carry a lot of stuff. Just jump on it's back when you're overencumbered and it will take care of the rest. (level weight to make sure your mount doesn't get overencumbered as well)
3. Turret. As mentioned, Paras have an in-built turret mode to root out enemies. It has a pretty long range too so if your out exploring it can come in handy. (level Health and Melee Damage in case your Para gets jumped)
4. Berry Harvester. By far the easiest way to get berries is to use a Para. Need Narcoberries to make Narcotics? Use a Para! Need Mejoberries for tames? Use a Para! (level weight to carry as much berries as you can!)
