What it’s good at

Jack Of All Trades

Especially underwater, the sarco can make an amazing companion and main mount due to its high , Damage, , average and Mobility, it can make a faster and more mobile alternative to the ( However you'd still have to watch out for pesky Megalodons and ), The Sarco was also proven to be an excellent Aberration Land and water mount with it being very common and easy to tame in there.

Travel

The Sarco is a fantastic scout thanks to its unmatched maneuverability through land/water and near instant stamina recovery. When swimming, sarcos are very agile and do not require air, making it suitable for long-distance travel. Additionally, flee if they notice a Sarco swimming nearby, allowing the sarco and its rider to roam in hostile waters. On land, it is a decent climber, as it can go up most hills in the game without problem (Level up in Movement Speed and Stamina).

Amphibious Mount

The Sarco can walk on land and is quite fast while swimming. This is good for land-locked tribes who aren't close to a body of water, but still want to quickly reach the ocean, as the Island's rivers can be used as "highways" with the Sarco.

Diver

The Sarco is one of the best divers on the island due to its ability to rapidly surface and dive; unlike its smaller cousin, the . Sarcos also won't surface when dismounted underwater, even when not on follow. (Level Health, Melee Damage, and Stamina).

s may also be used to their relatively compact size and high damage making them suited as a better guardian then another Sacro.

Battle Mount

General - The Sarco's TLC buffs include faster primary attack speed (approx. 2/sec), the "Death Roll" grab and damage on human-sized and small creatures, a short lunge attack (C key), and the ability to instantly reverse direction to use its primary attack on targets that are directly behind it. (The attack also appears to hit targets to the side as the Sarco reverses.) This at last makes up for its pitiful turning radius and enables the player to battle while standing still. The…

Pack Hunter

In large numbers, the sarco can easily overpower most creatures in the deep. its fast speed/attack rate allows a pack to constantly circle and attack foes, thus even the greatest terrors of ark's oceans can be dispatched with ease. If you're used to swarming creatures with Dimorphodons, perhaps you may fancy yourself a sarco army for the sea.
