Works really well hand in hand with pegomastax, scout your target from the bush, whistle attack target, and laugh as they get two of the most annoying Dino's in the game sent after them

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…

No one has said this...

Their unique ability that separates them from compys is their scouting ability. Basically what it does is search the area for dinos. You can choose what it looks for to. This could be useful for finding hidden reapers when raiding. The only issues are…

In pvp use them to "disable" players and also since they have the pack bonus, a fairly large group of troodons can be devastating to wild dinos, players, and tribes.

Can be used to scout the vicinity near you. In pvp you can take your troodon to find exactly where in a base, enemy players are located. This works with wild Dino and any other players/Dino.

If your on pvp, tame a bunch of these and have them be inside your base guarding your goodies, set them on aggressive, if you have a decent pack any would be raiders don’t stand a chance

They are buttheads!!! I was unaware of what they were and assumed they were just big compys... they aren't.

Useful in groups, they have a pack bonus and if there's alot alot of them they can put a single target to sleep.

If only they weren't HELL ON EARTH TO TAME

Be aware if you try to breed one of these, they occasionally won't eat the food in their inventory and need to be force fed. I have seen this in the juvy/adolescent stage as well so don't assume they will eat from the trough.

Honestly it's such hard tame for not much result. The Troodon can KO players very fast however everything else it can't realy size up too though. On PVE it's just a nuiscence.

Get 20 dimorphodons and 20 troodons and you will never die again

my brother had to get out his shotgun. he was yelling but on the quieter side because of them. he just couldn’t kill them! they knock you out and kill you slowly. wasting your time.

I just tamed one of these guys across the map because i thought it was a shoulder mount. it's not. i may be stupid, don't make the mistake i did

If you intend to breed this beast, I will give one tip to save you a headache, the babies will often have such low food they will starve with raw meat in there inventory, so I advise you to use cooked fish meat till they eat raw fish, then cooked meat till they can eat raw.
