The Concavenator is a carnivorous medium-sized dinosaur with a damage-focused role. It possesses the ability to be carried by larger creatures, enabling strategic aerial deployment. This makes it useful for fast, mobile combat operations where positioning is key.
It can be airlifted by Tusoteuthis for rapid transport across vast distances.

Wait for a Concavenator to burrow, then hit it with an explosive. A grenade or a rocket stuns it for five seconds and that is the only window in which you can climb on, so have the next one ready. It shrugs off almost all of the blast while buried, so you are buying the stun rather than doing damage. Once you are up it tunnels away and shows you a run of four directions: hit them in that order as it jumps, and every one you place correctly makes the whole run worth more. Keep it travelling and keep landing tricks, because it throws you off if you stall, and then you need another explosive to get back on.
Concavenator must be knocked out before taming. Use a Concavenator to immobilize it with a Chain Bola, Bear Trap, or Large Bear Trap. Tranquilizer ammunition from a Bow, Crossbow, or Fabricated Sniper Rifle works effectively for sedation.
Superior Kibble is the best food for taming. Raw Mutton also works well. The process takes about 27 minutes with Superior Kibble at level 150. No Narcotics are needed. Use the calculator below for your settings.
