Dimetrodon

The Dimetrodon is a sail-backed carnivore that most tribes keep for one job: temperature control. It gives off an insulating aura that shields nearby players and eggs from heat and cold, which makes it a standard fixture in egg hatcheries.

Where to find it

It spawns on many maps in both games, including The Island, The Center, Valguero, Extinction and Genesis Part 1, and it is notably frequent on Ragnarok in both ASA and ASE. ASA adds Astraeos and Lost Colony; ASE adds Crystal Isles, Lost Island, Fjordur and Genesis Part 2.

Taming

A knockout tame. It is reactive, so it fights back once hit, and its torpor drains very fast once it is down, so bring plenty of Narcotics. Regular Kibble is its preferred kibble; raw meat and fish also work.

Breeding

• Egg: hatches in about 2.5 hours.
• Temperature: 30 to 34 °C.
• Growth: a baby matures in about 1.9 days at 1x.

Uses

• Incubation: keep it beside eggs that need a narrow temperature range, so the clutch does not cool or overheat.
• Harvesting: its carcass gives Raw Meat, Raw Prime Meat and Hide.

Tips

Set it to passive and turn wandering off, so it stays next to the eggs it is meant to protect.
