Tips & Strategies
If your wanting to kill alpha raptors, carno’s, rexes and all the other dino’s, perfect choice. There was an alpha carno’s near my base with 10,000 health, and I killed it easily since I trapped it in a corner. And a bonus is that it can swim underwater and can’t be aggro’d At by any other creature! Not even a Titanosaur! Also a good way to farm XP is by trapping the dinosaur that’s your choice (I prefer alpha’s) in a corner, then after you rush it’s health down with the Pulmonoscorpius. Kill the dino with a last hit from you and boom! A lot of XP, and I would recommend a lot of health, damage and stamina since they stab really fast and each stab consumes a lot of stamina, and if you upgrade the damage. You can literally machine gun a dino’s health down, even an alpha carno! And if you wanna be safe, tank your scorpions health up, sometimes if the alpha see’s a herbivore, and the herbivore gets close. The alpha tries to bite that dinosaur and your scorpion gets caught in the crossfire.
More Pulmonoscorpius Utility Tips
In my opinion, these guys are the best, go on, say i am weird.
First, they are very easy to tame, all you need is a few spoiled meats and a bola, tranq arrows or even slingshots will do.
Second, after they are tamed, they are super useful, you can use them for cheap creature knock-outs, plus, if you tamed one in a cave, then use it for exploration, nothing in the cave can pick on you, making it easy to get to the artifacts.
Third, they are super easy to care for, they eat spoiled meat as well, so if a stack of meat spoils in its inventory, it will still eat them.
They have decent speed, stamina and melee damage, and can cross over tough terrain that most dinosaurs can’t.
Plus cool
Ok these guys need a TLC patch.
First patch: being able to choose to use its tail for less damage but more torpor, or use its claws for more damage but no torpor.
Second new ability: grabbing a small Dino with its claws only being able to use its tail for attacking while picking up a Dino. Perfect for taming!

Thorny dragon or Pulmonoscorpious. Which is better?
Thornys and scorpions are some of the only nock-out tames in the game. They both deal a good amount of torpor, but which is better to knock?
Using the stats of a lvl 1 equs, dodoex says that it will take 10 stings from a scorpion or 105 thorny needles from a base lvl to knock a lvl 1 equs. It might seem that the thorny dragon is immediately disqualified, but hold on a second. The thorny shoots 10 quills at a time, so if we divide 105 by 10 we get 10.5, meaning you will need to get almost eleven full hits to knock out. Taking in account that is is hard to get full hits, the number of shots you need to take is much greater than a pulmo. Thus the pulmo is the best out of the two! Thx for reading!
