Gallimimus is a small, herbivorous scout dinosaur known for its speed and agility. It excels at gathering resources while being ridden, making it a popular choice for early-game farming. It can be carried by Tusoteuthis, allowing for aerial transport and mobile base deployment.
Players typically tame Gallimimus to quickly harvest large quantities of berries, fiber, and wood from the environment.

Gallimimus 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 fired from a Bow or Crossbow are effective for sedation. The best food is Simple Kibble, with Mejoberry as a viable alternative. Taming takes around 19 minutes and requires approximately 86 Narcotics at level 150 on official settings.

Compare recorded corpse resource yields by harvesting tool.
Each harvest event rolls resources independently. Actual yields vary.
Killing a Gallimimus yields Hide and Raw Meat. The Hatchet provides the most Hide, while the Pick maximizes Raw Meat yield.
While mounted, Gallimimus gathers using its melee attack, harvesting berries, seeds, mushrooms, rare flowers, rare mushrooms, cactus sap, fiber, and wood. It gathers most resources at a 10× multiplier, including Mejoberry, Narcoberry, Stimberry, and Wood. This makes it exceptionally efficient for early-game resource farming.
