Tips & Strategies
The app says it can't go through doorways, but my dead 150 direbear tame would beg to differ.....
Find these guys in the redwoods, they’re everywhere, but be careful, while your taming make sure you have something super strong and on aggressive next to you. Cuz the redwoods are the last place you want to go to if you don’t have armor and metal shield(s)
If flying low to the ground it will knock you of your bird and stun you both.
I love Purlovia even if I play single player mode and here is why:
I like to role play as an always ready to anything nomad hunter. Even if I have a fixed base, I like to be able to spend as much time as I want out in the wild without the need to go back home. To achieve this I carry with me many cryopods of all special saddle tames (like castoride, equus, hyaenodon, magmasaur), travel mounts for air, land and water, combat mounts, shoulder pets and special ability mounts for hunting. I also have many tools and different armor sets with me thanks to the help of Seven, my little sinomacrops/backpack. When I need to repair or craft gear I usually rest and work with my tames on my megachelon's shell in the middle of the ocean or on the top of a mountain on my quetzal.
To be ready for anything means sometimes I cannot risk to loose everything (like when I go to the pit of Dreen (Ragnarok) for alpha tuso hunting). Here is when my purlovia comes in handy, as I give everything I don't need to him and leave him burrowed in a safe spot knowing my gear is well defended!

If you’re scared your base is going to be raided you can tame one of these and bury it somewhere safe with some resources or cryopoded Dinos, and if you don’t set them to aggressive it’s pretty much impossible to spot them unless the enemy has a Parasaur, so remember where you hid it.
I know that you are already dead before you read this
Reasons why I hate them.
1 they are USELESS! When tamed,their only purpose is to ambush idiots and store loot.
2 they’re deadly in the wild. I was on my terror bird when I came across a thylo.
Me and my T.T zoomed away, but before I new it, I was ambushed by a badger.The thylo caught up to us and we where lunch.
Those are my reasons why I hate them.
RIP for The king of dodos my TT😭
I was in le swamp, and it bit my butt.
When in redwood forest, keep shotgun handy for if one pops up while your out gathering. Suggest that if you plan to make base in redwood, make sure it’s a tree platform base set as high as possible, or the badgers’ll get ya.
For the mobile players don’t go wandering into the redwoods all like oh I’m safe because on mobile there are no thylas WRONG here’s a small list 1 these guys 2 dire bears 3 raptors so please consider this
Wiki says these can’t knock you off of a rock drake, they are dead wrong
You can store valuable items in them and tell them to dig underground when getting raided
