Jurassic Bio: Stegosaurus

Period: Late Jurassic
Diet: Herbivore
Height: 14ft

Description: The Stegosaurus is *one of* the most famous species of dinosaurs. It gets its name from its house shaped plates. Its 4 spikes on its tail (Wild Card gave it 6?🙄), would serve as a lethal weapon against predators.

Get Trang arrows and find one and shoot it went you nock it out feed it like that I got my stego
When your breeding them pay close attention to the baby’s they eat a lot my two baby stegos I left them with a lot food when I went to hunt but when I came back they were dead they died of starvation and I was very sad because one was level 67 and the other one was 84 they both died sadly
A sarco was killing one of these guys and I ran in to help; I ended up accidentally hurting this monster and it killed my Parasaur.
Berry murderer.
I just use a decent sized tree to stand behind and when the stego starts to pass the tree, i do a half circle around the trunk and shoot at the stegos butt while it tries to turn around like a 90s buick. Knock it and Starve it for 25 minutes before you add the berries and bam.
I once saw a stego fend off an attack by a rex for, I kid you not, 30 minutes. So tanky...
told my friend not to mess with it because we were early game but four deaths later we had a tamed one
1 crossbow with narco arrows 25-30
2 long neck rifle 65-70 narc darts
Chased on foot and ziggy ziggy pattern
Weaved threw tree if your lucky they'll get stuck
The one I tamed was 135
About 100-180 narcotics extra to keep down
Once you manage to sit through the tame, these things can be absolutely amazing for gathering berries.
You'll need two people, a quetzal, and your shiny new stego.
Have one person on the quetz, one on the stego, and have the quetzal pick up the stego in its big chicken feet.
The quetz may now fly around, very close to the ground, and the stego can swing to get constant berries.
Don't spam the "swing" button, or you won't gather anything. Wait until the swing animation is over, and then tap it again.
When the quetzal is encumbered, they can drop the stego to regain stamina, the person on the stego can drop the undesired goodies, and you can go off again.
Can everybody posting tips stop assuming that every body reading these have strong fliers like quetzal and tapajaras because some people don’t. I’m a low level beach bob who’s only flier is one lvl 50 ptera that I am still making a saddle for.
They just do their own thing unless you provoke it
You can find these on the herbivore island along with ankylos sometimes, from there you can climb onto one of the rock formations and knock them unconcious with tranq arrows(they are pretty bulky) If you have a good saddle blueprint for them(I have apprentice tier), then you have a very good berry and thatch gatherer on your hands.
