The Gigantoraptor is a medium-sized omnivore known for its unique breeding capabilities. It uses a special passive taming method centered around mimicking a baby's actions at a nest. This dino excels in breeding strategies due to its egg-laying mechanics and fast maturation. It can be airlifted by Quetzal or Tusoteuthis for rapid transport across regions.
Players typically tame the Gigantoraptor to optimize egg farming and imprinting workflows in breeding setups.

Taming a Gigantoraptor requires the special passive method. Find a nest with an adult and baby. Distract the parent using fertilized eggs, then enter the nest and mimic the baby's actions - spinning, bowing, or flapping - within 2–3 seconds. Failing resets progress. Keep the parent alive or the tame fails. Use the Chain Bola, Bear Trap, or Large Bear Trap to immobilize it safely during the process.
