Extraordinary Kibble
Overview
The Ceratosaurus is a carnivorous dinosaur known for its passive taming method and ability to be carried by larger creatures. It excels as a mobile combat mount due to its high melee damage attacks and unique HornThrust_Special ability. It can be airlifted by Tusoteuthis for rapid deployment across long distances.
Players typically tame Ceratosaurus for its strong offensive capabilities and transport flexibility in raid scenarios or open-world exploration.

More about taming the Ceratosaurus
Ceratosaurus is tamed passively, requiring no knockout or traps. Feed it Extraordinary Kibble for the fastest taming process. Raw Mutton also works but is significantly slower. About 20 units of Extraordinary Kibble are needed. The entire process takes around 19 minutes with no narcotics required. Use the calculator below for your settings.

Combat notes
Ceratosaurus has a critical weakness to spike walls, which deal +200% damage. It also takes +120% more damage from Instant HurtDinos and +55% more from Melee DmgMetal RaidDino attacks. Conversely, it is highly resistant to Mining Drill Harvest, taking -100% damage, and takes -50% damage from Melee WithProjectileImpactFX and Ranged Turret Small DefensePlant attacks.
The head has a damage multiplier of 1.5x, making headshots more effective for faster knockout or combat damage. All other body zones take standard damage.
