ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
These are amazing early game mounts that will always remain useful. Level up carry weight and you can use it not only for metal runs but chop trees while on it's back. It's also amazing for combat as it's knock back is decent but more importantly it allows for a great ranged weapon mount with it's turn radius, speed and jump to avoid close encounters. For the rare flowers if on scorched Earth then tame a Morello and gather the purple plants with it. On any other map raid beaver dams!

TLC patch coming March 2018 to add a carry weight buff, reduced falling damage, "Kick" attack, and the ability to carry baby dinos and small creatures in its pouch. Like for people to see!
I want them to be able to hold baby Dinoβs on mobile
I find it useful if you pump nothing but weight and then harvest metal with it, just put yourself in the pouch and have a friend walk up to metal nodes, then you can harvest metal without even leaving the pouch!
Had one of these in a multi server, named him Steve Irwin. One of the best transport tames ingame period, got around 30 levels because of him. Iβve killed rexes and broncos with this thing. Knockback is amazing, and can easily run away from a fight if things go wrong. Sadly, game crashed in a cave and he passed away. Rest In Peace, Steve Irwin.
Great to have tamed in harsh environments (snow, scorched earth, etc) as the pouch gives protection from the elements.
You can put your babies in the pouch for double imprints.
Can jump over behemoth gates if on a rock and can easily jump over dinosaur gates. That is very useful when it comes to raids if you upgrade your procoptodon in health enough. -rick
With the addition of wild baby dinos in ASA these guys will be useful for taking wild babies back to your base.

The procoptodon is a very useful creature in many ways
1. It's very fast on land, not so much in the water though.
2. It's jump is very useful (especially in Scorched Earth).
3. It can carry babies for transportation if needed.
4. A female Procoptodon gives an imprinting boost but only when it's mate boosted.
5. It deals decent damage and can push attackers back a good distance, especially small creatures like raptors and pegos.
6. Very good Rare mushroom and berry collector.
7. It's pouch is a passenger seat.
8. Pressing R3 will put a baby in the pouch but also take the baby out if needed.
