They have really good carry weight and produce eggs fairly quick as food or for kibble

Easily one of the best first tames you can get. Tames in minutes, it's on every map, and doesn't fight back. It's got pretty good weight, stamina, and it will likely be able to go faster than you. I personally use these early game as a beast of labor, carrying me while I harvest stone and wood from its back or have it at my side for when I get encumbered. It's scare ability is phenomenal for dealing with those pesky early predators like raptors that'd normally kill you without a mount. And it's enemy detection system is helpful even late game for finding hidden dinos like thylas or a dormant Phoenix. Or in pvp it can double for helping you find hidden enemy players. All around a good dino you should tame as soon as possible and keep around for utility.

Low on berries? Use a parasaur to get those numbers up again they are great at harvesting berries and even trees they are the best for harvesting berries for begginers (Behind Trikes) and they can easily kill an alpha compy the Dilo sometimes they can even beat an iguanadon with ease but stay away from those rock throwing giant therium rats that roam around (One killed my ptera) just watch out for stronger creatures specially the sarco and the Jellyfishes when on beaches.

Wild speed is 916.5

Tamed speed is 458.3

Decent early berry gatherers

Has a radar

I rate as a 3.5/5 for begging tames

You can use them as turrets, you can build a taller tower and put a para and some turrets on it and it will tell you if a enemy has entered your base or in your general area. I suggest naming them Sector one or quadrant one second to quadrant two and so on, so you know when it pops up which area of a base has an enemy in it.

Find 2 Tek parasaurs to mate together, raise the babies up to adulthood, kill and harvest them (chainsaw preferred) for valuable resources. I now have more gasoline than I know what to do with

Easy to knockout and one of the best pack mules. Can carry a lot of items and can go for long distance on land.

Best starting game in large and even alone but has helped us with many of our adventures and expeditions

Sincerely Nuggets of ARK

These are great for taming you can carry stuff with it and then find enemys on him to make sure you have a safe taming

Good luck survivors

They need to update mammoth can pick things up now

If you tame one it is useful for getting as many berries as you need.

These guys are so awesome and strong would recommend

This is a great first tame! They are easy to tame and useful, both as a pack animal, a detector and starter mount. Use right click (IDK what it is for Mobile and Console, sorry) to scan for enemies while on it, or set it to turret mode while stationary. Level weight and movement speed for a pack animal, and for a mount level stamina and movement speed. Pair-a-saurs prove extremely valuable to new players and experienced players alike! Experienced players can use them as an alarm.

They are good for getting narcoberries to make tranq arrow

s and other berries also braking trees

Turn on turret mode to keep an eye out for enemies near your base!

Good to collect berries as a starter game. Also, in PVP they can detect other players. Useful to detect a raid or an ambush.

Also has a mode that pings nearby enemies

This is easily my favorite starter tame great carry weight, amazing stamina, can detect enemies to help you avoid death(yes even underwater enemies too), and has a roar ability that makes small dinos in its radius get scared and run away from you, largest affected enemy in my experience is raptors very useful

Use the cooked meat not jerky it saves time and resources

Uses echolocation to locate nearby enemies. Helpful for a safe travel for a low level player. Red 'echoing' dots target last location of known threat.
