Overview
The Baryonyx is a piscivorous carnivore with a primary role in damage dealing. It excels at gathering Bio Toxin and other prime resources from nodes. It can be airlifted by Quetzal or Karkinos for fast deployment.
Players tame the Baryonyx to efficiently harvest high-value resources while benefiting from its strong melee capabilities in combat.

More about taming the Baryonyx
Baryonyx must be knocked out before taming. Use a Chain Bola or Bear Trap to immobilize it, then sedate with Tranq Arrows from a Crossbow or Darts from a Longneck Rifle.
Feed it Regular Kibble for the fastest taming. Raw Mutton also works if kibble is unavailable. The process takes about 16 minutes and requires no Narcotics. Use the calculator below for your settings.

Combat notes
Baryonyx has a +120% weakness to Instant HurtDinos, making it highly vulnerable to such attacks. It is also weak to spike walls and explosions. Conversely, it is highly resistant to Mining Drill Harvest and certain ranged turrets, taking -50% damage from them.
The head has a 1.5× damage multiplier, making headshots effective for faster knockouts. Target the jaw area when sedating.
Can break Thatch and Wood. Build at least in Stone.

Tips
- The Melee and SwimStun attacks yield triple Bio Toxin, making Baryonyx one of the best toxin farmers.
- It takes +120% damage from Instant HurtDinos, so avoid areas with such hazards.
- SwimStun has a 7m range and 18s cooldown, useful for hitting distant nodes.
- It can be carried by Karkinos, Quetzal, or Tusoteuthis for mobile harvesting operations.
- Its inventory reduces weight on gathered resources, improving carry efficiency.
