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!

You canβt breed them on mobile.
Sting any creature thatβs attacking to turn them passive
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 canβt.
Plus cool
When I was a fresh noob to ark I'd tame 3 scorps. I'd ride one and have the other 2 set to follow and there wasn't anything that could stop us
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!

When using these to knockout a dino, you have to attack in roughly 5-8 second intervals. The scorpion applies torpor as a debuff which rises over time, so if you spam attack, you'll most likely kill your target with damage before the torpor gets high enough.
This is less of a tip and more of a question, but if I level up a pulmonascorpias melee damage will it increase the torpor???
The higher the melee damage, the higher the torpor. Also upgrade movement speed so it can close the gap
If you go into a cave riding this, no one will pick on you. Just do not dismount, and avoid your scorpion getting knocked out.
