Overview
Doedicurus is a medium-sized herbivore used primarily for farming. It reduces the weight of Stone in its inventory by 75%, making it highly efficient for stone transport. Players tame it to streamline Stone gathering and hauling for base construction. It can be airlifted by Argentavis, Karkinos, Quetzal, or Tusoteuthis for rapid deployment to mining zones.

More about taming the Doedicurus
Doedicurus must be knocked out before taming. Use a Chain Bola or trap it with a Bear Trap or Large Bear Trap to immobilize it. Tranq Arrows, Tranquilizer Darts, or Shocking Tranquilizer Darts from a Crossbow, Compound Bow, or Longneck Rifle are effective for sedation. The best food is Regular Kibble, requiring about 17 units. Taming takes approximately 43 minutes and requires 2 Narcotics. Use the calculator below for your settings.

Combat notes
Doedicurus is highly resistant to fire, taking 60% less damage from fire-based attacks. It has a severe weakness to spike walls and instant-damage traps, taking 100% and 120% more damage respectively. It is also vulnerable to explosive and metal melee attacks. Level Health and Melee Damage for better survivability.
The head has a 1.5× damage multiplier, making headshots more effective for faster knockouts. Target the head when sedating to reduce taming time.

Experience
The tail attack gathers Blue Gem, Metal, and Obsidian at a 21× multiplier, making it one of the fastest gem and metal node harvesters. It reduces Stone weight by 75%, ideal for large-scale building projects. Can be carried by Argentavis, enabling fast aerial transport of stone loads. Vulnerable to spike walls, taking +100% damage, so avoid defensive perimeters with them. Resists fire damage by 60%, making it somewhat safer near fire-based traps. Its high torpor and compact size make it easy to knock out for taming.
