I've been trying to plant veggies on pvp and they kept getting stolen so i tamed me a badger and set him next to my crops and caught the thief and let's just say he's behind bars.

Why does this purlovia couldn’t be riden?! Its in perfect size to be able to be riden!

They can essentially be utilized in two ways, as land mines since they have an ambush attack or as hidden treasure chests.

The same size as the dire wolf, the kapro, and the deer, bigger than the ptera, even produces medium animal feces, but somehow not ridable. 💀

Devs, explain.

Sort of like the drop bears here in australia except they attack from below.

Pros: you can bury them underground and put them on passive for a hidden storage box. You could bury them and put them on neutral or aggressive and when you get raided your enemies won't even have a clue what hit them.

They knock enemies off mounts and stun them.

They do crazy damage.

Cons: sometimes I even have a hard time remembering and finding where I buried them.

How to tame: find one that's already attacking something, when it wins the fight lure it into a dino trap and tame it. (If its badly injured give it time to regain health before taming).

Otherwise If you try looking for one under the ground it will stun you and most likely kill you.

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

What the huh!? I have literally never seen one ever. Where do you even find them?

352 points   ⚔️ Encountering   Jan 31, 2017   Report

Found some along the river between the Redwoods and the volcano!

These mother respecters would be so much more useful if you could just ride them or pick em up with argys

Anyways for the uses that they do have, you can use them as secret treasure chests or as guards incase someone tries to steal something so they get jumpscared.

Standard ko tame. Don't use arrows for higher lvl ones unless u have to or else there is a good chance it will die. USE A TAMING PEN!!

Take Care when searching with flying Mounts for Ovis. They can throw you Off and Paralyse your bird for several seconds. In combination with Packs of wolves this can be your and the birds Ende. I am speaking of experience.

When they are Buried you May See a small mountain.

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
