Tips & Strategies
The trike is a great Dino with many ways to be utilised. It is powerful at getting berries, Carrying stuff for you, and being a battering ram. Yes, it is a perfect raid Dino if your raiding a thatch or wood base, just charge the trike and aim at the building, and the trike will make a perfect cut across the middle of the building. I also learnt that the hard way. The charge stops at stone, so don’t bother. The low saddle level makes it easy for new players to tame and ride, and the saddle shouldn’t be too expensive (apart from the hide if your a low level.) Overall the trike is an amazing Dino, and I recommend getting it as quick as you can, espically if your always taming herbivores or raiding weak bases. Get the trike lvl 10 - 100!
More Triceratops Utility Tips
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)

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.
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.
