When I first player aberration I tamed one of these and a bulbdog. Then a pack of craptors killed me and my bulbdog and when I went to recover my stuff He was still fighting them and even killed one. I had understimated him and he became my main mount for a long time. Even after I got a karkinos he was still useful and will survive anything. I used him to tame the paracer needed to tame a karkinos as well as a sarco. If I were to leave him in the element zone on wander and neutral chances are he would survive. He helped kill the pack of ravagers that killed my first aberrant iguanodon and helped kill many spinos and karkinos. He alerted me that there was a karkinos in the lake surrounding my base which attacked my dinos which inspired me to tame electrophorus, angler fish, and mantas to guard the lake from karkinos and spinos. A high level parasaur can kill a carno and outrun a spino.

First starting in Scorched earth after the downfall of my Center server I brought my lvl 191 parasaur with me. Finally found a base location and as I run to grab water what happens? Gator grabs me,destroys me. Level 125. Needless to say I ran back to get my bag and get the saddle off my parasaur, but as I arrive what do I see?! My bloody parasaur with the Sun behind him, Sun glistening off the blood as he stands victorious over the gator guarding my bag, and waiting for me. Moral of the story, Parasaur is life.
My first ever tame was a parasaur that I named Squishnose. I stood by him through famine, caves, and even giga attacks, and he did the same for me. I don’t know how I kept him alive so long but I did. Eventually, after soloing the first boss (which took over a year) I decided to leave the island for aberration, and I transferred him over with me. Then I went to Ragnarok. Then, it happened. We were exploring, just me, him, and a level 10 ptera named Berryraptor, when we were attacked by an alpha Rex. We just barely managed to escape, and o was setting up a camp for us to recuperate, when a dilo. A FREAKING DILO, snuck up and killed him. To this day, I refuse to let a dilo live, and in every map I visit I build a memorial to Squishnose the Mighty.
