Exceptional Kibble
Overview
The Rex is a large carnivore and a powerful damage-dealer in combat. Its devastating Bite attack and ability to stun enemies with a Roar make it a feared predator on the battlefield. It can be airlifted by Tusoteuthis for rapid deployment behind enemy lines or to bypass difficult terrain.
Players typically tame the Rex for base raiding, boss fights, and as a frontline combat mount due to its high damage and crowd control potential.

More about taming the Rex
Tame the Rex using the knockout method. Use Exceptional Kibble for the fastest taming. Raw Mutton also works if you lack kibble. Immobilize it with a Chain Bola, Bear Trap, or Large Bear Trap.
Use ranged weapons from the Bow, Crossbow, or Compound Bow with Tranq Arrows to knock it out. About 17 Exceptional Kibble are needed. The tame takes around 58 minutes. Use the calculator below for your settings.

Combat notes
The Rex takes +400% damage from spike walls, making them extremely effective in defensive setups. It also takes +120% damage from general damage sources and +55% from metal melee attacks. Conversely, it has a -100% resistance to mining drill harvesting, meaning it cannot be damaged by that mechanic. It resists ranged turret attacks and projectile-based melee by 50%. Level Health and Melee Damage.
The head takes 1.5× damage, making headshots effective for faster knockouts. Target the jaw area during taming attempts for maximum efficiency.
The Rex can damage Thatch and Wood structures. Build at least in Stone to resist its attacks.
