Notes/Trivia[]

  • Phiomia Phiomias can yield large amounts of Hide and Meat Meat, however, they will flee from players when attacked.
  • Parasaur Parasaurs hold no inherent danger, as they will flee upon initiating combat, often getting themselves stuck on rocks or trees. This opens it up to be easily killed or knocked out.
  • The Dodo Dodo and Lystrosaurus Lystrosaurus are both good sources of Hide early game. Dilo Dilos can be also be good sources of Hide if you have access to a Spear Spear or Bow Bow.
