Overview
The Triceratops is a large herbivore that serves as a Soaker. It excels at gathering a wide variety of plant-based resources quickly while being ridden. Its primary use is for efficient, mobile farming of Berries, Fiber, Wood, and Seeds across diverse biomes. It can be airlifted by Quetzal or Tusoteuthis for fast deployment to remote areas.
This dino is commonly used to automate resource collection without the need for structures or harvesters.

More about taming the Triceratops
Triceratops must be knocked out before taming. Use a Chain Bola, Bear Trap, or Large Bear Trap to immobilize it. Then apply sedation using Tranq Arrows from a Bow or Crossbow, or Tranquilizer Dart from a Longneck Rifle. The best food is Simple Kibble. Mejoberry also works if kibble is unavailable. The tame takes about 16 Simple Kibble and lasts around 20 minutes with no Narcotics needed. Use the calculator below for your settings.

Combat notes
Triceratops has a strong resistance to fire, taking -60% damage from fire-based attacks. It is highly vulnerable to Instant HurtDinos and SpikeWall damage, taking +120% and +100% more damage respectively. This makes it fragile in automated defense setups using spike walls. Level Health and Melee Damage.
The head has a damage multiplier of 0.15x, making it highly resistant to headshots. Target the body for consistent torpor gain during knockout taming.
Can break Thatch and Wood. Build at least in Stone.

Experience
Attack 1 gathers most plant resources at a 10× multiplier, making it one of the fastest mobile plant harvesters. It harvests Mejoberry, Narcoberry, and Stimberry at peak efficiency. The 8× yield on Cactus Sap and Fiber supports early-game resource needs. It can be carried by Quetzal for fast travel to remote farms. Its vulnerability to spike walls makes it risky to use in automated defenses. Use non-fire turrets when protecting it.
