The R-Dire Bear is a variant of the Dire Bear with altered stats, classified as an omnivore. It gains a 5% increase to Melee Damage but suffers a 3% reduction to Health compared to the base creature. This dino excels at gathering a wide range of plant-based resources quickly. It can be airlifted by Quetzal or Tusoteuthis for fast deployment.
Players tame the R-Dire Bear primarily for its efficient resource gathering and utility in early to mid-game farming setups.

Tame the R-Dire Bear using the knockout method. Use a Bow or Crossbow with Tranq Arrows to sedate it safely. Immobilize it first with a Chain Bola, Bear Trap, or Plant Species Y. Feed it Giant Bee Honey for the fastest taming. Superior Kibble also works well. The process takes about 42 minutes. Use the calculator below for your settings.
