Procoptodon is a medium-sized herbivore used primarily for breeding. It is notable for its ability to carry small creatures in its pouch while moving, allowing for safe and mobile transport. This makes it ideal for relocating fragile or low-level creatures across dangerous terrain. It can be carried by Argentavis, Karkinos, Quetzal, or Tusoteuthis for rapid deployment.
It can carry Achatina, Araneo, Archaeopteryx, and Armadoggo in its pouch, protecting them during travel.

Procoptodon must be knocked out before taming. Use a Chain Bola or Bear Trap to immobilize it, then sedate with darts from a Crossbow using Tranq Arrows or a Longneck Rifle with Tranquilizer Darts. The best food is Rare Mushroom, which provides the fastest taming. Plant Species X Seed also works but is significantly slower. The taming process takes about 71 minutes and requires approximately 133 Narcotics. Use the calculator below for your settings.
