What it’s good at

Pet

Being able to be mounted on the shoulder and having a small size, the Dimorphodon is included as a good option for being a pet and companion to survivors.

Cave Assistant

Having a Dimorphodon as a companion in caves is always a good option, you can use it to distract and kill pesky cave dwellers (note: you need a good level one with high or else the dimorph may die).

PVP

The Dimorphodon is with no doubt one of the best PVP shoulder mounts in the game, it's way more agile and quiet than a and it's available on most maps, you can whistle the dimorph to attack a dino and it will also harm the player on that dino

Guard Dog

Keeping them in protected corners or towers in and around a base can prove to be very useful in resisting attackers.
