Lmao I love how people tear each other's eyes debating whether a Rex or a giga should be breed for mutations, while this guy is slept on. If a rex, giga and spino are same level, spino will beat them in dps and the massive knock back and attack speed render everything but sauropods and flyers unable to approach, it beats them in speed stamina and oxygen 53 times a day, their only advantage is the hp but that is undermined by the spinos op attacks. Beats both in everything but hp, yet is so ignored...

People in the Rex category have been dissing my spinos. They always bring up “look at the stats bruh” or “Rex better in all stats” but spinos are superior because,

1. Hydration buff. They get a better radius, boosted movement, attack speed, and health regeneration when they step in water. Rexes just make you poop. How useful.

2. DPS. On four legs, yes spinos are worse than rexes, but on two legs the tables turn. They use their front legs to deal massive damage WAY faster than a rex ever could.

3. Water mobility. Spinos can swim rexes just sorta, um, float. Piranhas will destroy rexes. Spinos can out swim AND kill them and many more fully aquatic creatures.

4. Utility. Spinos out speed rexes on land and in water so they fit hunting better than rexes. And because of their high DPS and knock back, their also fit reaper taming. Don’t like that lvl 10 reaper queen? Simple, knock it into the element water. Rexes couldn’t do this because they lack a aberrant variation so radiation damage (Mushroom stew isn’t really cons

Spino's are powerful anyone who says rexes are better has not used a spino they are faster and stronger they can also swim. Don't use rexes unless they are ur faves. Spino's are just easier to use. They won't die just because something gets behind u. Rexes will die to anything that gets in there blind spot, they are frustrating. Rexes are good amount I just will never use them if I don't have to. My main mount is the baryonyx.

Me and my alpha tribe have a breed army of these beast. They are better than a Rex for many reasons

1. They have a water buff like a crystal wyvern

2. They have two modes one let’s them go faster the other makes them do more damage

3. They are very fast in water and if imprinted they are very fast on land

Highly recommend

Everything you should now about the spino

1. Taming. To tame a spino I would recommend getting a flying mount. Make a trap that allows you to fly through it and let's the spino get trapped. The just shoot with arrows or darts

2. Stats. The spinosaurus is a good all around tame thanks to its amazing speed on land and in water. And it being stronger than a rex. It is a really good mid-late game tame.

3. Stance. The spino has 2 different stances which allow for strategic battling. Bipedal mode is when the spino stands on 2 legs and does a slash attack with its arms which is its stronger attack. Quadropedal mode is when the spino stands on all four. Quad mode might have less attack strength but is much faster than the bipedal mode.

4. Buff. When the spino is halfway submerged in water, it gets a water buff which can help in fights.

P.S. don't let your spino attack jellyfish. It will die.

When Tamed they are like the iguanodons big brother which u can use 2 legs (slower but stronger) or 4 legs (Faster but weaker) and oh boi this guy is good in the swamps since titanoboas,barys,sarcos and kapro something will not agro to you if are only riding the spino and one more thing,this bad boy can get a lot of prime meat all you need to do is go to the swamp find a paracetheium or a lot of titanoboas and just go to 2 legs mode and kill all of them to get frickin 100 in 32 mins in my experience and basically it has a buff where if it's in a body of water (rain doesn't work)it's gets super strong that's why they bad boi can supply u some prime meat but it is bad on land (not on shores)

So, I live in the footpaw, which is supposed to be relatively safe if I'm correct. (I haven't actually seen any of the other spawnable areas :/ ) And for some reason these are spawning left and right, figuratively and literally. I managed to tame one, but I almost died. Anyway I heard they're great for getting prime fish meat.
