Tips & Strategies

Encountering and taming
When you encounter a raptor unprepared you should immediately leave the area. Come back when you have these five things, multiple bolas (incase you miss or there is a pack), a ranged weapon that has some form of tranq ammo (slingshot, bow, crossbow, or a long neck rifle), tranq ammo, narcotics, and taming food. Once you have all of these things go back to the area where you found the raptor, once you find the raptor again, bola it. Once it bolad shoot it in the head with your tranq ammo, once it is knocked out wait, this is called starving, make sure it doesn't wake up by feeding it narcotics. Once you are done starving it put food in it's inventory, it will now eat until it is tamed. Also make sure nothing damages it this will ruin it's taming effectiveness meaning that it will lose some of the levels gained.
Good job, you have tamed your raptor. If you haven't brought a saddle for it, it can be learned at level 18, and can we crafted anywhere. Their primary attack is a slash and bite simultaneously, and their secondary attack is their pounce attack which works the same as it does with wild rapters.
I hope this was helpful, happy taming

These guys are stupid annoying late game, they’re just like rats.
—TIP TIME—
PASSIVE, AGGRESSIVE, OR NEUTRAL?
If you have ever set foot on the Island, you should know that these guys have zero chill. They will attack everything and anything in sight, no matter the size(you’ll often see one raptor challenge a rex). So STAY AWAY if you are a low level and don’t want to get cooked.
TAMING
These guys are relatively easy to tame, only needing a bola and some tranq arrows, or possibly a club if it’s a low enough level. Torpor is alright, I didn’t find myself shoving narcotics down its throat when I tamed it. Put some meat in their inventory(or some prime meat, but I wouldn’t waste any on a raptor) and viola! You got yourself a raptor!
USES
These guys are FAST. Like, very fast. But, with yin comes yang, their weight is horrible. I find myself constantly upgrading weight to get this fat dino to move at a speed more than 0.1 mph. They are strong, with fast attacks, AND they have a very OP attack that pins down smaller creatures and dismounts riders! When they are pinned, constant attacks will cause you to rip their insides out while they are on the floor! So fun :). To do this attack on mobile, swipe down on the left hand side of the screen. These guys are VERY good early game tames, with their saddle unlocking at only LEVEL 18 :o
Anyway, hope this tutorial helps!
Peace out,

(Mobile) You can find them relatively near water and I recommend using bola to trip em up then knock em out then u only need to give them like 12 meat but I would give more just in case Pls like if this helped
