If you watch the ARK: The Animated Series trailer you’ll get an exclusive cosmetic.

currently using as caravan guards due to their speed and damage definitely worth getting

I tamed about 20 of them and killed a bronto in like two seconds.

Handy tip: they can’t pin you down if you’re in water. Like so more people can see.

When tamed, a raptor is a very fast and strong mount but they don't have very much carry weight. Level up weight, speed, and damage.

Best starter dino, easy to tame, can get knocked easily, just use bola and club (if u r low level + the raptor is low lvl too) or tranq arrow, even can clear cave of artifact for you ....

Breeding not-so-basics 101:

Incubation: surround the egg in a ring of torches (recommend standing) and light them wooden poles on fire, if it says too hot, turn off a torch. Too cold? Light one up. If it is just right, there should be no “Too Hot!” Or “Too Cold!” Sign and should say “Incubating (10:00:00)” or something like that and the teal blue bar should go down. But if the red bar is going down instead of the blue, check the egg conditions again. If the red bar reaches zero, it cracks and it disappears. But if it hatches correctly, y’a got a baby creature, hooray!

Imprinting: this one’s a doozie, so imma make it simple. Imprinting is a OPTIONAL a thing to do. “But why so many YouTubers like Syntac do it???” Shush, I was gonna get to that. Imprinting provides health and damage bonuses, being best i remember +50% or 1.5x stats. But how do you imprint? Oh it’s easy. Once you have a baby dino and NOT let it starve (it can’t eat until it’s a juvenile) sooner or later it wants care, coming from a cuddle, walk, cooked prime fish meat… EXTRAORDINARY KIBBLE?!? Yeah there’s a lot it can range from. And it varies per dino per imprint method per server settings, so if you have a giga you wanna imprint and the imprint times only like 10 seconds, each single imprint will make such a small dent it’s like trying to blow away the moon with your breath, it’s gonna take a bit, again. Depending on your settings

Age Stages: the shortest one of them all. So imma make this really wasteful of vertical space

Baby: 1/10 of max hp and weight i think

Juvenile: can start eating from troughs, i haven’t really cared much about baby stats so I’m just guessing 1/2 of max hp and weight

Adolescent: 3/4 Of max hp and weight, I think it can start attacking, idk what or how much it does compared to fully grown

Adult/mature: fully grown, 100% usage of health and weight bars. That’s basically it

Don’t listen to that goofy ahh lvl 20 uncle who said that there isn’t pack buff on mobile, yes there is it’s just not on raptors or compys the ones I know that have pack buff on mobile it’s allosaurus and dire wolves

Up so more people see this

Raptors are essentially better Dilos. Whe lacking the poisonous blinding spit of a Dilo, they have a much better DPS due to their speed. In groups of three or more they benefit from a pack boost, and in groups of at least four I notice they tend to take on bigger threats on the Ark (notably Sarcos and Kapros). Plus their pounce ability is not to be overlooked.

In short, tame Dilos for the early game, but Raptors as you move into mid game.

Thank you for coming to my TedTalk. Up so newbies can see :)

Should I tame a raptor? (
