CreatureSoaker

Pachyrhinosaurus is a medium-sized herbivore that serves as a soaker in combat. It excels at gathering a wide range of plant-based resources while mounted. It can be airlifted by Quetzal or Karkinos for fast deployment.
This dino is primarily tamed for its efficient resource collection across multiple categories, including berries, fiber, and wood. Its ability to harvest from a distance with cloud attacks adds tactical flexibility in dangerous areas.

Pachyrhinosaurus must be knocked out before taming. Use a Chain Bola or trap it with a Bear Trap or Large Bear Trap to immobilize it. Tranq Arrows from a Bow or Crossbow work well for sedation.
The best food is Bug Repellant, requiring about 39 units. The tame takes around 15 minutes and needs roughly 66 Narcotics. Use the calculator below for your settings.

Each harvest event rolls resources independently. Actual yields vary.
Killing a Pachyrhinosaurus yields Hide, Raw Meat, and Keratin. The Hatchet yields the most Hide and Keratin, while the Pick maximizes Raw Meat.
While ridden, Pachyrhinosaurus harvests from three attacks: Head Attack, Camo Cloud, and Rage Cloud. All three gather Berries, Wood, Fiber, Cactus Sap, Seeds, Rare Flowers, and Rare Mushrooms. Each harvests at 10× efficiency on most resources, making it one of the fastest plant gatherers.
It gathers Mejoberry, Narcoberry, Stimberry, and Rare Flower at full efficiency. The cloud attacks allow safe harvesting from a distance.
