Tips & Strategies
The Sabertooth can collect meat about as well as Carnos can, and are about as strong, but in addition, along with dire wolves, they collect hide, chitin, keratin, and other non-meat materials from creatures at a high rate. Leech blood, for example.
Powerful, decent stars all around, fast, and can leap forward, allowing you to cross rivers and gaps without even entering them.
Small attack range. Often times leeches will attach before your mounted saber's attack connects.

These guys should have a TLC. Like seriously, they have those giant theeth and only one attack? It would be good if they had like a "forward jump that pins you down while they shred you with their massive theeth" kind of thing, don't you think? Because I don't see any real use of them - caving? Bring a bary.
- All around mount? Thyla beats him.
- And the dire wolf is slightly
better in every aspect *plus* the
pack bonus and their sniffing
ability gives them quite the
advantage.
I'm probably missing something but I wouldn't recommend taming them if you don't live in the snow area because of the risk of going all the way to north for this not that usefull mount. I tamed one and i haven't found a use for him since then. Imprint a Raptor or tame a dire wolf instead. It's not worth your time.
I play on mobile. Stat lv up after tame is Hp 12,14%, Sta 10%, Oxy 10%, Wg 4%, MA 4%, Spd 3%. Very good for collecting chitin and hide, and a good fighter for both land and underwater. Swim like bary. Good for cave too. Hope it can cause bleeding with it's attack, i mean it's a sabertooth right? Just my opinion.
