Superior Kibble
Overview
The Paraceratherium is a large herbivore that serves as a Soaker. It reduces the weight of resources carried in its inventory, making it ideal for efficient hauling. This dino is primarily tamed to transport large quantities of gathered materials across long distances. It can be airlifted by Tusoteuthis for rapid deployment.
Players typically use the Paraceratherium to streamline resource runs, especially when paired with flyers for extended reach.

More about taming the Paraceratherium
Paraceratherium must be knocked out before taming. Use a Chain Bola, Bear Trap, or Large Bear Trap to immobilize it. Tranq Arrows from a Bow or Crossbow work well for sedation, as do Tranquilizer Darts from a Longneck Rifle.
Feed it Superior Kibble for the fastest taming. Mejoberry is a viable alternative. The process takes about 43 minutes and requires no Narcotics. Use the calculator below for your settings.
