Doedicurus — Detailed Guide

The Doedicurus is the stone specialist: a big armored mammal that farms Stone faster than anything else and carries it at a fraction of its weight. It can also curl into a ball to shrug off damage.

Where to find it

It lives on rocky slopes and in hills on most maps, in both ASA and ASE. It is especially common on Lost Colony, Extinction and Astraeos in ASA, and on Extinction, Fjordur and Genesis Part 2 in ASE.

Taming

A knockout tame and a herbivore. It is docile until provoked. Knock it out and feed it crops, berries or herbivore kibble. The saddle unlocks at level 34. See the taming calculator.

Breeding

The Doedicurus is a mammal, so the mother carries the baby, with no egg. In ASE gestation takes about 5 hours, and the baby matures in about 2.4 days at 1x.

Uses

  • Stone: it has the top Stone yield in our data, and Stone weighs much less in its inventory.
  • Sand: it also gathers Sand well on maps that have it.

Tips

Pair it with an Argentavis or Quetzal for transport. When something attacks, curl it up and let your other creatures handle the fight.
