Easy to spot in snow because the ground their hiding under is brown instead of white. Be careful because I tried picking up with quetz and got dismounted from his attack.

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.

Flying in the air with a bird in the redwoods or Arctic can help you find on but don't forget a parachute

Everyone commenting on the redwoods.... be careful by the honey mine 31 31! Stunned me. Had never encountered these shi*s before. Deader than dust.

They can dismount you from a pteranodon ;_; you are warned don’t go to low with your ptera

This thing killed my 169 thylo and my 37 therizino

In the aberration element region I'm way more scared of purlovias then reaper queens so when I'm going there I bring a rock drake and scale the walls because of these stupid things! Also watch out there are sooo many of these things in the caves leading to the titan terminals in extinction.

So I was walking in the woods of the island and this thing jumped out of the ground and scared me and my friend and it attacked me but our Raptor killed it

To all you asking the ark dev to make this thing rideable on dododex, You KNOW they won’t see it, so grow up and ask them on a review or on discord

Scare'em up with a yuty.

Mainly linger in cold places this is were I find them except my dire wolf kill them

So I was taking some dire wolfs in the Arctic with a pterodon so I found won over 50 lvl so to me that was good enough so I was flying down to land when one of these suckers popped out the ground it freaked me out and a got stunned (my pterodon wasn’t a high lvl) both me and my bird were almost dead when the wolf I was taming woke up and fricken sacrificed itself for me R.I.P

Keep a Rex or bronto on follow

One of these attacked me and I was afk but only because I was regaining stamina. Then my bronto smacked it and almost killed it then my rex roared and finished it off

Try not to be to close to the ground when there around

Tip: if you want a good counter against these guys, use a Yutarannus. Their roar automatically unburies them, and I don’t think they’ll be able to knock you off if you’re riding it. I’m not entirely sure

Use a grenade to get them out of hiding if you spot them first with two helmet

Just light them up as fast as you can with anything you have

This boy killed me 10 times in one minute and my level 260

Passive pteranodon

So, I was walking around we one of them jumped me. I killed it and moved on. Then another one jumped at me, this time I just ran back home to safety.

i am reading many tips on purlovia jumping on u but never happened to me i guess cuz i was on a beelezebufo and jumping away from a titanoboa
