Tips & Strategies
These are not really dangerous if they are unburied, but if they are buried, they will either stun you or your mount. It may not be a problem if it’s only the Purlovia in the area, but most likely it’s not only.
I was in the snow biome with my Royal Griffin, killing an alpha T-rex, when all of a sudden this thing jumped out and stunned my griffin. Nothing good came out of this, the griffin was killed by the alpha T-rex and a couple spinos and shortly after, I died too. Thankfully I had nothing valuable in my inventory, but my griffin died and there’s not much I can do.
Never fly low in the snow or redwoods unless well prepared for dismounting and stunning.

When I was building a trap to trap the Giga, I was trying to use my lv 605 Ptenarodon (Her name was Shelly) to lure the Giga into the trap. Suddenly there was this mtfk LITERALLY JUMP AT MY FACE and stunt me and my bird. The Giga then killed my bird and the Purlovia. Idk how did i get that unlucky, but after that I listed this guy to my most hated Dino, and I always look around whenever I fly around the snow forest

You are already dead
Kapros, Thylas, and now this. You are walking through the swamp and BOOM. A litle sarco jumps out of nowhere and carries you 200 m away.
You fly with your ptera and BOOM. A tiger jumps sacrifing itself and now you are falling from the sky.
You walk chill and relaxed and BOOM. An oversized rat jumps and kills you. Its very annoying
Found some along the river between the Redwoods and the volcano!
Having a problem with them in the Island‘s ice cave? Bring a Yutyrannus, to scare the Purlovias out of the ground!
There like the imposter from among us they pop out of the ground and kill
One day, I was in the redwoods with my assault rifle killing terror birds, and then out of nowhere, this boy jumps out and scares the flip out of me. So I run back to Pterry Cruise, (my pteranodon) and fly as fast away as I could. I circled back and filled him with holes.
Cool thing a dire wolf can detect a untamed purlovia when it makes that sniffing emote a mask Icon pops up when a purlovia was near in the ground
