Amazing for caves. I have one with 500% melee that can get 20-30k chitin per cave run.

This is basically an upgraded raptor. You can use them to collect meat, travel, and cave exploration. They're great for taming other dinos. Bring them along when you tame other dinosaurs so you can easily kill anything that tries to attack you or your taming dino.

Don’t try to run up a volcano because they have terrible fall damage. I learned that the hard way.

It is a very fast mount, especially when you sprint + jump. It is stronger than a raptor, weaker than a carno(in the wild). Tamed if you level it up enough it can even take on a rex. It harvests a lot of chitin and hide, even more than it harvests meat. Perfect creature to cave with.

A popular mount among the community. And it should be too.
