How do I kill a purlovia? purlovia battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
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.
I was in le swamp, and it bit my butt.
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
PRO TIP! When hunting for one of these make sure the creature u are riding on has its follow distance set to low so when u get knocked off you can get straight back on asap. If you do not have this setting enabled you will get knocked off and if your using a bird you will NOT be able to reach your bird when getting attacked usually leading to death.

Wanna do a cave?
You: maybe I shouldn’t, these guys sound pretty annoying and mean
Me: wolves can sniff em’ out and they are decent for the rest of the cave.
Good health, good dmg, good jump and they can sniff out artefacts, these guys and explorer notes.
So yeah I went to the redwoods while riding my tapejara cause I crafted a tree foundation thing and I saw a bunch of terror birds killing a diplo.My mind was to help the diplo but then outta nowhere a purlovia jumped out of its hole thing and stunned me and my tapejara and well the terror birds attacked me.I have a ramshackle sword tho so I killed them all and the purlovia to.Yeah all of this wouldve been prevented if the purlovia wasn't there... I hate purlovias i'm never taming them.
Don’t even wanna talk about what happens when there wild.😠
On mobile, they have great knockback and can knock back a lot of creatures.
Ride desmo in ice cave fjordur, got stun by this mf beaten by yeti and direwolf. Hate this dino
In case you didnt know they can spawn in aberration's red zone and scorched earth out of all places
They're on scorched, near the pearl canyon near blu ob
Beware the surface of the redwoods or the Arctic because these things can dig and they're practically invisible I invite you to bring at least one spyglass to identify it.
So, I went on a trip with my Pterodactyl Ani. We were in a multiple player server and I went to a purple drop in pvp. Well I saw some kapro’s some carno’s and some other crap and I was like ‘Pfft, I’ll just be quick’. I GO NEAR IT AND THIS THING LIKE PARALYZED ME AND ANI! All of those kapro’s came and ate her alive. That creature is a nightmare. I swear to always check BEFORE I go down. Cause somehow I didn’t get eaten by kapro’s or carno’s so we both flew away in utter silence. TERRIFIED ME AND I JUST SAT THERE LIKE, ‘Why am I not dead?’
That’s a nice Pteranodon you got there, shame if something were to happen to it.
If you get killed by them don't bother going back for your stuff. They don't wander. They will burry themselves right there.
It can make itself look like objects!!!
I was flying around on my argy in the snow area looking for obsidian, i saw a different looking rock and was about to fly down and check it out, but it transformed into a purlovia and almost got me off my argy. I don’t see many talking about this, but be aware!
Beware! They pull you off your tame if your riding it, they look like an oversized rat,lvl80+ are pretty powerful.
The annoying thing is when you want to find one they are all gone but when you don’t... YOU DIE! (P.S. they will not attack some creatures you think they would like the tabajara
Guys forget the wolves whose the same size as this, think about araneos that's even a little smaller and can still be ridden with good speed
