Okay, so, I know there’s this thing about how rexes are better than spinos and vice versa, but the spino is superior. It’s faster, stamina lasts longer, and its dps is insane. Not to mention that it has a hydration buff that makes it even more powerful. They’re loose cannons, which is why they die in the wild a lot: they kill EVERYTHING in sight and then they get killed due to the enormous amount of angry dinos chasing them(the spino is faster, but it usually gets cornered against a cliff). They also have two speeds that each come with their own attack… that’s pretty rad. Literally the only downside is their hp. Just upgrade hp to a safe level. Against the Rex, their damage output is way higher. The only thing they don’t match is hit points, but like I said just upgrade hp if it’s a tame, and you have a vicious killing machine. These are a must tame .Hope you enjoyed, even if it was long.😂

They best way to find spinos is by any river. Also there very large, colorful, and have giant spines (duhhh) they spawn at any river.

Need a tek variant

It would have a giant saw blade for a fin. It could have a special attack that could do the bleed affect real saw blades hurt and make you bleed like crazy so this would be really kewl

If you see one run away from the water and it will agro something else but they actually get distracted easily so even just putting something in between you and it will stop it from attacking you they always attack the closest thing to them because they prefer defending their territory rather than hunting food

Do not mess with one In that is tamed and 150+ because when their in water there faster than a raft they will screw you over

This is an absolute killing machine just get water buff switch to two legs and its unstoppable

I could’ve sworn these things dropped their sail as a trophy yet Dododex claims they don’t they also don’t on mobile but I used to play on Xbox I still do but not very often. Am I just crazy or did they really drop their sail

it’s not as scary as it looks just go for it

If mistaken as a rock, look closer and you’ll see their seriously oversized spines.

Go to a rock where the spino can't reach it. thats all

Favourite dinosaur by far. Could NEVER bring my self to shoot one, but then I did, wile defending base.

Love spinos. Such colourful sails! Dark and eerie is a good combination, or red+speed.

Salute to all the fallen spinos. May you forever roar on.

A bit more scary in game when encountering

The true meaning of multi-tasking is when u escape one of these while unloading a dishwasher

So I was just usually going to get some iron to repair my stuff at a near mountain, and as I accidentally fell/slid down the mountain, near a SWAMP, I saw 2 of these things just mass murdering, I saw them 1 hit a Therizino which, this was at a point where I was only level 34 and I thought that, that, was the power of a god, so I just hid behind a rock as they were passing by waiting to run, after they stopped looking, and look, if your tryna outrun these things, you gotta know, THEY WILL CATCH UP, they are the Godspeed of ark, (at least that’s what I thought at that level) oh yeah, and if you see these things, unless you have a flying creature right next to you with a saddle, Run, or hide

As far as I know, only 3 wild carnivores will aggro onto the sight of your spino, other Spinos, Rexes, and Gigas. You can probably outfight other spinos, outrun rexes, or outfight lower level ones, and outrun gigas. Very useful.

This guy just appears on my island :(

Love these things so much. I swear they WANT carnage, and it’s terrible when that is used against you, but I love having that for myself. While having a much smaller aggro range than most larger carnivores, it is FAR more vicious. In the wild, I’ve seen them take on rexes, trios of trikes, and I even saw one kill two brontos in a row(a theri ended up damaging it so much it ran away, but still…).

I know the roar is useless, but I’d even go so far to say it sounds way cooler than the rex’s. I had a high level spino named Mom, and I would put her on aggressive because it amused me to see “your Mom killed a rex and/or triceratops, bronto, raptor, etc.” I like that they’re overpowered. DONT nerf them. Ever. Please. Thanks for reading!

if you are new (lvl 12-ish) here's how to deal with this punk, make sure to have these:

-Full cloth armor + a gift cloth armor piece

-10+ spears

-bow and 20 arrows

-if you're in that level, metal axe or pickaxe

-slingshot 30+ rocks

-a dino (2 dilos or if you managed to get one, a trike or carbo)

-a will to live cuz getting all that SНIТ isn't gonna be easy

If you see these freaken things just run if you don't have a long neck rifle and chitin armor they will wreck you face I learned that the hard way

Ok so I met a level 108 spino should I tame it?
