Tips & Strategies
Absolutely a priority early tame.
I'd argue that it's superior to both the Parasaur and the Stegosaurus, in terms of efficiency. It's in the goldilock zone of it's kind.
While the Parasaur is easy to tame, the Trike doesn't take much time either, even with just mejoberries. And the Stegosaurus is usually too much for a very early tame. Just keep in mind to not tranq it's head shield, as it takes much less torpor than it's soft body.
The turn rate is optimal and matches the Parasaur, while the Stegosaurus has a very big problem with it's rotation. The Trike is perfect for turning to farm the bush nodes.
The Parasaur has no defense, and the stegosaurus has a hard time with dealing against packs of small creatures. The trike has a very powerful push back, combined with the turn rate and health it can defend itself and you- it can tank against carno assaults, which you will encounter everywhere.
It also functions as a cargo dino, with a great weight.
More Triceratops Utility Tips
With the new TLC, it has OUTSTANDING thatch collecting ( 1000 in 4 trees with a max charge. )
Utility Roles for Trike:
1. Tank. When faced with head on damage, they have a damage reduction. Be sure to pair with mate for extra damage resistance (level Health).
2. Short Range Scout. The Trike is not very fast, but again, due to the damage resistance it has (and it's just general beefiness), it can serve as a good scout for early game. Much better than the Para in that regard (level Health, Stam, and Movement Speed).
3. Harvester. This boi can collect quite a decent amount of wood and fiber, much more than you can by hand. Use with Charge attack for extra resources! (level Weight and Stamina).
4. Defender. Use him to defend your base and smaller tames. Really the only early game threat a Trike can't handle are alphas and the occasional Theri. But trust me, I've seen one of these things face down a Sarco and live (level Health and Melee Damage)

If you ever catch these guys in the wild and wonder why their heads are glowing red, you should probably run because thereβs a Rex/Spino in the area.
If the triceratops head is glowing that means there is a large predator nearby
I can not stress enough to my friends how useful the trike is. Early game it makes a great pack animal. Late game in groups of three or four it can be used as a decent battle mount. Taming a trike early on can be a great way to start a large base and keep you well fed with berries.
Cool tip!
Just realized, if you put rockarrots in their inventory they wonβt spoil!
βοΈ So nubs can see!!
A triceratops is a very special dinosaur in this game. It is easy enough to tame at a low level, yet powerful enough to take on raptors that could kill you easily. It can collect enough berries that you would never go hungry again, and still have some berries leftover to help tame more trikes. They are very slow but it can make up for it if you increase the weight, attack, and stamina stats. It is an extremely good pack animal because it can carry a lot, but still defend itself, especially if it is in a large group. Overall, the triceratops is one of my favorite and most versatile dinosaurs.
Juvenile ones when you kill and harvest them they have a tone of prime meat

If one of these guys has a glowing head, run away because there is a large predator like a Spino or Rex nearby
