Probably a much-loved species amongst farmers, as they can gather incredibly absurd amounts of berries, seeds and occasionally carrots (particularly if you are gathering with one of these in The Footpaw Region you should gather a fair bit of carrots. Once I managed to claim multiple stacks of them), which increases when leveled in weight capacity fairly frequently. However, one should also make it an effort in buffing the health and stamina of these guys, as they are excellent at defending you and any other animals you may have tamed, and as for the stamina part, well, they eventually get tired after too much berry-gathering. Their basically able to fit any task that they may find themselves being asked of, however they are often overlooked in favor of the more-capable Stegos, of whom can pump in more weight capacity per level, allowing for a greater load in less time despite not being as fast since Stegos are unable to charge compared to the Trikes. Regardless both are excellent.
Useless, unless for leather (a little bit)
Doesn't have much meat as well, doesn't provide any special availability, and even if they does a great job to defend themselves, when not tamed, once they're, came defenseless...
Just help to carry things
Bronto is a bit more difficult to tame, but actually provide so much higher carrier ability...
This is Not a great travel mount. Instead, tame one and keep it near your base to collect berries from bushes and clear tree's if you need to or need thatch.
Once you have one, don't be afraid to tame another far away from your base wherever your exploring and simply leave it there. Travelong on a trike takes a whole day just to do the southern coastline.
They are vital for making narcotics and other potions/mixes and rubs
These guys are great for many reasons
1. Base protection (if you have enough of them)
2. Berry gathering
3.wood and thatch gathering
But don’t make a tame trap for these. You can usually outrun them while you are taking them. If for some reason you are not fast enough, you can just jump behind a tree. Another tip I have is putting most points into
1. Melee damage
2. Stamina
3. Weight
Those stats are preferable if you are planning on using your trike for gathering
Probably the single most useful tame in the early to mid game, and makes an excellent addition to any breeder’s egg layers late game. A 130+ wild tamed with berries and leveled with an even split into health, weight and damage can take on anything the island has to throw at you on land, barring Gigas, Titans and high level Alpha Rexes. This Dino alone will transition you from early game struggles to survive to absolute wrecking ball. The berry gathering capability and general tankiness make the Trike an essential early tame. Forget the dilos and raptors, take a high level Trike.
