In my opinion the best starter dinosaur you can get.
Decent movement speed with good stamina, an overall okay berry farmer with good weight and highly mobile. And this dinosaur has got very low saddle requierments and you can also shoot from it‘s back.

I suggest you to tame one.

If you name these as locations like west gate 1 or something then set them to player detection mode, they work as a great alarm system.

Even during late game I'll always have a para! They can detect nearby enemies and they're the ultimate narcoberry pickers! I prefer picking berries with them over my bears and sloths.

A solid first dino tame. Not very strong or fast but it can help bare your weight and in the hostile world of ark a friend is what you really need.

Good first tame for starters and a good bait for taming carnivores mid game when you want to tame that carno near your base before it destroys it.👌👍

Gteat for starter mountd for food and narcotic berties

You can get a ton of narcobarries with this and trikes but trike saddles are level 17 or 18 to get them

The parasuar has had its base damage buffed to 12, base weight buffed to 480, and it’s wild weight gain was raised to 9.6 per level. This makes parasaurs carry only slightly less weight than a mammoth. Parasaurs have had a huge buff. Like this so others can see

These are really great for trips around the ark. Justgrab your bird and then use your bird to grab the para and you can detect players and their tames. I always keep one around my base set on player and tame detection.

This in my opinion the best starter tame. They can hold alot and get berry's pretty well.try to upgrade the movement speed and weight omly.

These guys are so awesome and strong would recommend

Parasaur is the best starting mount. With their decent weight capacity and alarm ability makes it great for any gathering journey, especially for those with realistic settings. Set its alarm to detect creatures and into turret mode. It is a traveling trip alarm pinpointing the dangerous creatures at a distance. You can also activate its ability while mounted. Upvote so people know about its alarm ability.

They are very good early game games (way better than the patchy), it can gather berry’s like a boss which are used for food and for taming herbivores and they can detect nearby enemy’s and can rotate to scare away medium sized creatures.

Parasaurs are good for finding hidden purlovias and for detecting raiders near your base

After update these guys can spot enemy players while in turret mode and it will alert you. You can also set the range for the turret from low to high. Upvoe so people know they have another purpose.

When you tame this never and I mean never only pump into one stat spread the points out between health,weight,stamina and speed. Don’t put any levels on melee damage, because if you do then it will get killed as it doesn’t do much damage even with about 10 extra levels of it.

This is an average mount that can take you long distances either at a slow pace,or fast pace.It is an everyday pack mule that can be used to travel around The Island.I recommend it for beginners who need a easy simple carrier,but not really for defensive or offensive purposes.Level more their weight,stamina or speed mainly,and some of their health but that about it.Make it in to a real life camel or raptor,but it always depends on the person.

Parasaurs can actually fit in a 1x2 gap

These guys are amazing starter mounts,especially now as they have this new well ability the turret mode and the ability to make medium sized creatures flee! They are also decent berry and thatch collectors for beginner thatch building.

If a Rex or something big comes these can be a good distraction to give you time to run.Also they're easy to replace. GOOD LUCK😀
