This is especially for new players. They will seem pretty quiet if they are far from the water, but if you see one next to or in the water, don’t try to pet it. They are VERY fast, especially in the water and they do A LOT of damages. I mean if you want you can try but then I hope you had a good life. If one is curious and come visit your base, if it is protected with even wooden spikes, it should be not a real problem ( except if you’re unlucky and it’s a high level one ). But don’t let your tames aggro it bcs they will probably die ( especially new player tames, who has low or mid health ). I mean everything under 400hp will probably die. Above 400hp it is pretty safe but yeah, don’t play with fire. If your base is not protected, well then you’re coocked and it’s time to build a new protected base.

Their coloration tends to resemble where they spawn, for example if it spawns in the river outside the snow zone it’s gonna be white, if it spawns in the redwoods it’s gonna be red, if it spawns in a rocky area it’s gonna be grey, if it spawns near a beach it’s gonna be orange or yellow, etc, so keep that in mind if you’re looking for a specific colour… this can also make them hard to spot from a distance if you’re not specifically looking for them though the sail can sometimes give them away as it doesn’t always follow this rule

It totally did not kill all my animals

Be careful a lvl 4 murderd my lvl 41 thylocolo

When I was looking for a Spinosaurus I found like three or four

you use three metal billboards in a box and lure it into the box and then box it in by placing a metal billboard to trap it and you can slip in and out the trap. Or you can make a 3 by 3 of stone and wall it up 2 doorframes high so you can get in and out, make stone stairs for the spino to walk up and fall into the cage. Or the EASIEST lure it towards stegosaurus or small tanks until it gets into its running stage (topor running) then shoot it a few times while riding a fast tame that can go under water or on water (pelagornis) and then give it fish meat or raw meat and DONT WORRY IF IT IS KNOCKED OUT IN THE WATER IT CAN BREATH UNDER WATER.

They are common on the 4th from bottom waterfalls, I have a base on the 2 waterfall, one of them came down and my base was crushed, but the reward of having a pet spino is worth it

Don’t fight it in the water.I did it and I died

These guys are SAVAGE!! I saw one slap a dimorph out of the sky

If you want to tame a spino here are the steps I took to taming it

1Find it's territory:spino's have a territory to themselves this can help you observe it from a distance

2Get on a cliff or high place the spino can't reach you and shoot it(carry ALOT of tranqs if your gonna try tame this)

3They are extremely fast so when they start running you might wanna try snipping it from a distance as closing the distance will be extremely difficult

4Make sure you have enough narcotics and meat to tame it

Bonus tip:if you want you can use narcotic tripwire traps or dinosaurs like pachy or basilisk to speed up knocking it out

So I was on my Therizinosaur on ark mobile and then I saw these while going home. I was like “Oh yeah that’s free XP and Levels for my Theri” and attacked one. I didn’t realize that it was Lvl 100+. It ripped a chunk of my theri’s health, but I killed it and survived. I saw another one, and I was like, “Oh yeah that’s another level there” and tried to kill it. I killed it, but my Therizino was below one thousand. There was one last one, and I took the risk. Boom! Now below 700, with Raptors attacking me. My therizino had a penny of health now. Moral: Don’t take risks with these guys.

Up if it should Spawn in swaps so plz up so devs can see

This son of a carnivore killed my Pachy and my iguadon.. I didn’t even tame him yet and the fricken spino came after me the second after.

Spinusoreis are cool dinosaurs with spines

Step 1: find a T rex eating a carcass and run from him

Step 2: run towards the spino and let them fight.

Step 3: let the spino kill the rex then save Alan Grant stuck beneath the trees.

Conclusion: The worst controversy ever

I wasn't expecting for one to spawn in the easy zone on the shore line like come on i was coming back home from doing a mission and the Spino gave me a heart attack but I guess it was my fault for killing all of the cinardia (jelly fish) in the river causing it to spawn in since I made room for it. But now not only do I have to deal with megapiranhas, jellyfish,titanboas, and megalodons I have to deal with a spino now too.

They around the south-east river bordering the southern edge of the redwoods

Spinos are much more interested in you if u were near a lake or beach... they are territorial creatures however to escape feom that villian just run toward jungle or woods just run away as fast as possible from beach or lake they will lose interest on you in the end... well if u survived....goodluck

I’m locking through my telescope now it’s killing whole broths but I have A LOT of spike walls pray for me I don’t think I’ll survive this one

There’s about 5 around my base. There my favourite dinosaur species and I’m yet to tame one. Or two. Or ALL OF THEM.

I’m near the section with lots of rocks and no trees.
