Overview

The R-Dilophosaur is a carnivorous variant creature from Genesis: Part 2. It features increased melee damage but slightly reduced health compared to the base Dilophosaur. This dino is primarily used for combat and structure destruction due to its high damage output and ability to be carried by flyers. It can be airlifted by Argentavis, Desmodus, or Karkinos for fast deployment behind enemy lines.

More about taming the R-Dilophosaur

The R-Dilophosaur must be knocked out before taming. Use a Bola or Bear Trap to immobilize it, then apply tranquilizing darts or arrows from a Crossbow or Longneck Rifle. Basic Kibble is the best food for taming. Raw Mutton also works well. The process takes around 3 minutes at level 150 using kibble. No narcotics are needed. Use the calculator below for your settings.
