Tames are friends, not food.
Jurassic Bio: Troodon
Name means: “Wounding Tooth”
Period: Late Cretaceous
Diet: Carnivore
Height: 3ft
Length: 6th
Description: Troodon was a small predator living in North America during the Late Cretaceous Period. This small hunter would hunt in packs that could take down somewhat large prey. However, most of the time, they would have looked for smaller, easier prey, such as a baby ceratopsian.

PS: this is my first Jurassic Bio. 🆙 if you
liked it! I will be making more!😀
Hitting them with a torch will de-aggro them and they will run away! As long as you have 1 or 2 points into fortitude, you can get bit once and stay standing
On mobile they are only found in dungeons!
Taming
Troodons use a unique flavor of Passive Taming. Instead of putting a Food item in your last Inventory Slot, you have to instead allow the Troodon to kill your tames. Troodons gain Taming Affinity by earning Combat Experience, with the amount required reduced to 40% at night. Taming Affinity will only be credited to a player if the creature killed belonged to you or your tribe. A singular tame is capable of providing experience to multiple Troodons. Tests have shown this is unreliable, but can be reproduced.
Requirements
Experience required: 343 + (32 x Troodon's level)
Experience required at night: 137 + (13 x Troodon's level)
Creatures must not be set as Passive and must be unmounted by a player.
Creatures can be unconscious or pre-damaged (i.e. at 1 Health remaining).
Babies and adults provide the same amount of experience.
Pheromone darts may be utilized to make the Troodon attack a chosen dino, but be careful that other wild dinos do not enter the fight.
Taming Notes
There is a "Feeding Interval" of sorts, wherein no Taming Affinity will be gained for subsequent kills. It is not yet known how this is calculated, but 90 seconds was sufficient for a level 1 Troodon.
Taming Affinity will not reset nor is Taming Effectiveness reduced when a wild Troodon takes damage.
In fact, Troodons will always tame with 100% Taming Effectiveness (i.e. 50% bonus levels).
Taming and Experience Multipliers do not seem to affect the Troodon. That said, the table below utilizes the v253.0 hard-coded 2x experience values (although even if the actual amount of experience required and earned is still on the previous 1x values, the taming requirements are the same.
Troodons will not readily aggro onto most creatures that provide a substantial amount of experience. To circumvent this, have the Troodon aggro to the player while standing on top of the creature
up to be able to feed you tribe mates to them for taming
They are the deadliest thing in the game besides app errors
Never ever ever ever ever travel without a torch and a replacement.
Don’t use gigas or rex to defence your base from players use these smal Bois I swear they are greatest that is not a joke
And sorry for my bad English but hope that was useful 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
While trying to kill this strong fierce little animal… I got knocked out and while I was knocked out instead of killing me it just spun around me also I was there for a long time ,and when I awoken it just knocked me out and started spinning around me again …. I would recommend never encountering these beasts they may be small but are mighty and do not give mercy. 1 up = 1 for hope i or u will never meet this specie
My dodo killed the troodon..
Pro tip, do not use lvl 160 dodo to tame.
You might as well fight a level 100 giga than two level two troodons
It is recommended to only tame troodon during the night, as this will double the taming output it gets from killing creatures. (Dododex correction: taming at night is 2.5x rather than 2x.)
This is the ultimate combo. Pego, troodons and seagulls
If you want to loot a guy without leaving a trace , here is how you do it.
1: pego problems, send a squadron of pegos to pick pocket your target just to piss them off.
2: seagull stealing, next send your seagull fleet to steal their items while they are chasing the pegos. If you are lucky, the seagulls will take the item they are using or the ammunition for the item
3: troodon terror, lastly, so they don’t know what happened, send your troodons to put them to sleep with their venom attack, they won’t know what hit them and you will walk away with all of their loot, if you are feeling like they have more stuff on them, grab narcotics and put them to sleep even more, then search his body. And boom free loot for the minimal price of lost tames. Hope this helps you pick pocket the alpha tribe!
Step 1: make a taming pen.
Step 2: put a lvl 80+ baby wyvern into the pen. Knock it out if you want to and lower its health down to almost 0.
Step 3: Drop troodon inside while its eyes are glowing.
Step 4: Enjoy your tamed troodon
If you're wondering why they are on the ark mobile list while you can't even find a troodon atom they spawn in dungeons like jerboas and pegos
take a high level tame, beat it til it’s low, give it cryo sickness, and boom.
