This is a must have on solo play. My level 76 can take out an Alpha carno lv 1 and an Alpha Raptor level 6 back to back with no problem. When fighting with them don't forget to be near water as they gain increased movement and damage being in (Spino foot) foot deep water.

If you want to catch one properly you can setup 1-3 large bear traps in a row a good distance away from the Spino, then aggro it into one of the traps and tranq it. Don't forget, large bear traps take a few seconds before they become activated.

Bring a shield in case it gets to you before it gets to the traps, they're fast.
