Compy is a small carnivore commonly tamed as a Shoulder Pet. It is highly vulnerable to damage from explosive sources and takes significantly more harm from melee attacks using metal weapons. This makes it fragile in combat, but its small size allows it to be carried by larger flying creatures for quick deployment. It can be airlifted by Argentavis or Karkinos for fast deployment.
The Compy is primarily used as a passive companion due to its inability to gather resources effectively while ridden. Its main utility lies in its portability and low maintenance rather than combat or resource collection.

Taming a Compy requires knockout via tranq weapons. The most effective food is Raw Mutton, which provides the highest affinity gain. Raw Prime Meat also works, though it is less efficient. Typical knockout tools include the Bow, Crossbow, or Compound Bow using Tranq Arrows.
Immobilization can be achieved with a Bola or Bear Trap. The process takes about 1 minute with Raw Mutton at level 224 effectiveness. Use the calculator below for your settings.
