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

How can you ride a sheep but not this? Upbote this so they see CR

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.

Cant be carried and unable to ride. Argies can carry bigger dinos, so I’m not sure why this is an exception.

My 275 got the drop on a raiders 280 wyvern and killed it

They ar walking talking land mines. When tamed they can "hibernate" underground and if a enemy/wild dinosaur comes near they will jump right out

I reckon it should have a saddle, or, even better, rideable without one, just like a dire wolf.

The purlovia actually is very useful with taming creatures... at least on mobile, creatures will aggro on it while it’s underground, yet it will take no damage, serving as a “bait” for most aggressive creatures, set the purlovia on passive so you don’t attack the things you wish to tame. Simply build a big taming pen in the arctic, put the purlovia in the pen, make it dig, wait for the rexes, sabers, wolves, and even possible gigas to aggro on the badger dog, open the gates, close them, tranq out the creatures while they are distracted, and enjoy your new OP tames!!!

I have 2 if near relitivly close to my base but not close enough that raiders will find them. Iv put important equipment in them to get me back on my feet if I get wiped

When it's in hibernation it's food doesn't decrease but a must have for base protection

If you want to breed them, you may want to tame a few high level females as well as males. I mated mine once and it took 4 days IRL for it to be able to mate again.

Great for defense and also a nice travel buddy. Definitely make a small army of them and level their health lots.

Great creatures for gard mode have like 4 in my pin for my dinos protection

Can be used as mines to protect your base

You can use them as a hidden treasure chest. If you are a solo player this is very helpful, as long as you remember where they are. Also if someone knows where it is, they cant shoot it, and they have to waste nades or c4

Great dino for ambushes and base defense. Set a few of them on neutral and bury them near a weak point at your base.

Amazing treasure chest. I have 8 filled with enough materials to rebuild a base. Enemy players can't see them when underground

They are very useful for pvp as other players cannot see your purlovia tame once u tame it and it’s underground... u can also catch players stealing with it
Like for example: every morning You find that someone is stealing your crops so u go tame a purlovia.. once the player comes back and the purlovia is underground the purlovia will catch the theif and u can do what ever u want to do to him like for example: put him behind bars permanently til he dies so u can take whatever was in his inventory that u wanna take

You can put items in it on a pvp server only you can see the little pile of dirt to kill it you would have to know where it is and you would have to use c4

These are the way to go when your on a primitive server with an abusive alpha.
