So many people think these are beginner tames, yes they’re incredibly easy to knock out and tame, but if you find a high level one (mines lvl 220) and focus on levelling up speed and health you can be unstoppable… almost

These things are so dang fast in the water. I’m pretty sure mine broke the sound barrier.

I really believe Sarcos are one of the most underrated creatures in the game. Yeah, on land it's kind of pathetic, but it's high swim speed coupled with the ability to shoot while mounted make it EXCELLENT for taming aquatic creatures. I prefer using it over ichthyosaurus.

Shoot the target, swim away when it gets too close, rinse and repeat. Or lure targets to the coast and shoot them from the (relative) safety of the beach if you can.

Just be careful if you go exploring the Deep Ocean with them. Combat-wise, a high level Sarco can handle anglers, megalodons and even plesiosaurs (provided you have a good saddle), but you're better off running from everything else. Thankfully they have good stamina and can out-swim most everything that lives in the water.

On mobile these guys attack very slow, but pretty strong, mine hits for around 250 per bite, and the spin and lunge attack do alot more. You can spam the spin attack but watch your stamina.

You can yue it as a raft. One person drives and people can stand and move on it's back.

Note that if you plan on using this guy for a cave, dont if the cave has bats cause they have horrible vertical

Underrated, my lvl 10 killed alpha raptor. Tip: lure high lvl Dino’s into water:)

This thing is probably the best possible animal you can have for water. The stamina regenerates instantly in the water and are super fast. They are lean mean fighting machines. It is actually really easy to tame as long as you are in a high spot and have tranq arrows and a crap ton of meat. I think that the only down side is that for some reason the food always goes down really fast, so always have a lot of meat in your sarco. I named mine Stanley.

There hit box is weird. Basically if you keep your enemy at bay, you will win fights!

I got to the redwoods on the island on default difficulty with nothing but a level 15 Sarco, at level 8. These guys are AWESOME.

dude, these are such underrated beginner tames! i tamed my first one when i was level 20 and it has been with me all the way to end game! once leveled up well these speedy tank like damagers are great for the swap, lakes and beaches. the only bad thing is if you do take early level you have to wait for its saddle at level 35.

A tip for newish-players: My Sarco is still only a level twenty-something, by even by level 7, she was killing Titanoboas and kiting megalodons with ease. I can't recommend the Sarco enough as a swamp hunting mount-- and as I said before, ESPECIALLY for Titanoboas. You'll have leather coming in by the hundreds. Just be careful that you go at them head-on, and that you don't take on more than a few beasties at a time. Be especially wary of the Kapro. They'll knock you flat and leave you vulnerable to whatever horrors are crouching in the shadows. Have a pike on hand for those pesky bugs that your Sarco can't reach. And beware, dear reader, the frumious Baryonyx, with jaws that bite and claws that catch. They have a penchant of attacking from the side, making it quite a hastle to get back at them. (At least, from my experiences.) Want to take on other Sarcos with your Sarco? Have no fear. Just get your melee damage up a little bit, and you should be fine.

But as always, tread carefully.

I tamed a high level breeding pair and started breeding and now I have an army that evaporates alpha megs but immediately dies to any jellyfish

Crystaldragon, yes you can but theyre cery slow so youd better be sniping unless youre in water otherwise. Happy hunting goodluck, Gremlins362.

I have just started on Abberation and tame as many low level sarcos as I could. I have 10 now and they melt through everything in seconds. Spinos just disappear and they killed an alpha karkinos without any dying. I would absolutely recommend taming a few of these early game.

It keeps raw prime meat cold it makes it last longer.

Underrrated tame! Not as good on land but amazing in water,highly recommend you tame it as it doesn't take too long and if you keep your eyes out for megalodons,mosasaurus ect you'll be fine

My sarco has served as an amazing Dino, has killed megs, rexes, allos, brontos, yuts, args, kents, and so many more, it may be slow but boy is it strong! Defo recommend for beginners and should last you all the way up to a pro! Easy tame

These guys are incredibly underated! You can easily tame one using bow and some tranq arrows or even the club since you can circle around them and they'll not be able to hit you plus they're good for early to mid game as a combat tame and the speed on this guy is unreal in water!

They get demolished by beavers (Castoroides) and piranhas flee when near these big chonky gators.
