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.

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.

Simply amazing at collecting hide and chitin. You can easily get 50-60 chitin per scorpion kill. Hide numbers run up quick too. Within minutes you'll be sitting at around a 1000 hide. They're quicker than the raptor Imo and pack a much harder punch. They do lack higher defense like other big dinos, but don't be fooled by their size. These guys are nasty. I recommend getting health above 1800. Stamina around 800-100, movement speed 130+, and melee around 250-300%. If you can achieve this, you'll have an exceptional utility hunter.

Collects hide, chitin, and keratin very well. Very good in caves. A good tame to use in a group with mate boosting. Stronger than raptors, and requireing a saddle gives them more defence than a wolf. With a short breed time a good tribe can breed awesome stats into them quickly. Good to use on s.e. in a group to hunt deathworms

Be carful not to run out of stamina for the sabertooth is very vulnerable when it's not sprinting.

These guys need a tlc,when you tame a lvl 140(when wild) it’s damage, hp and stam is terrible, like what’s the point of those 9-inch canines if you can’t do a lot of damage

Collects more hide than meat.

If you need hide , pelt , or chitin, then this is the animal to pick . Speed is decent and they are perfect for caves . Sabers don't fit in all caves so be careful . Plus they are super cute when they are babies !

This is one of the best creatures for early-mid stage tribes. It’s so easy tame, it’s fast, powerful, and common in the North and mountains of the island. Smilodon is a great ally and if you have a larger tribe with a cat each, it’s an unstoppable force.

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.

Very fast creature, they can outrun or chase almost any creature plus you can shoot from its back. Very useful at kiting and can protect your tames while unconscious

Great hide gathers, I usually get more hide than meat with these guys

They don't jump very high, but they jump FAR.

This thing literally saved my life!
I was on my boat going down Viking bay2 and all os a sudden I was knocked of my boat by lag or something into shark infested waters where out of nowhere my knight In black fur cane from 2km away and somehow saved me in time! That’s right this thing will go as far as to teleport to save its master and I am ever so grateful for its sacrifice. RIP Not So Pink Panther may you forever be at peace.

Dododex needs to update to show that they can fit through double door frames. With the implementation of the homestead update, all of dododex needs the new thing.

I have a level 96 bred sabertooth with over 12k HP and 800% melee. Ain’t scared of nothing. And with an Otter shoulder friend you’ll never worry about hot or cold caves or any critter in them. Great duo.

If you don’t have a baryonyx and get a high lvl one of these, than they are pretty good for the easier caves on THE ISLAND.

Great mount. Basically an upgraded raptor. Using a saber is the best way to gather chiton/keratin.

Definitely my go to when I need meat and hide. I also use this one if there is a threat outside my base that puts myself and my Dino’s in danger. Melee damage is fast hits so I recommend pumping the melee damage and stamina for an effective predator.

One of the best tames in the game. I watch my brother when he plays. He breeds his high levels to make more. Any low levels wander in groups of four. And they collect their own meat. They also protect his property. Sabertooths are the BEST!!!!
