Diplodocus

Transport

The Diplodocus saddle can carry up to ten passengers and one driver. This alongside of its decent movement speed and reduced stamina usage enables the Diplodocus to be an efficient transportation mount.

Battle Mount

While Diplodocus is not able to deal any damage it has a higher throwback than other tames. It may take effort but it's more than capable of fighting at mountains and cliff sides where enemies can be tossed far off. Another effective method of fighting predators with Diplodocus is simply to walk into other herbivores and aggro them into fighting for you.

Knockback Tank

Cargo Hauler

A Diplodocus trades off combat capability for extra speed compared to other cargo tames such as the or . It is a cheap and expendable early game cargo transport, or a fast cargo runner later on once properly defended with tames that can keep up. Like its bigger cousin, the Diplodocus knocks over trees that would trap smaller tames such as the or , making boulders and cliffs the only significant hazard to navigation. Only the largest predators are known to attack Diplodocus, making…

Aberrant Cargo Hauler

Although the Aberrant Paraceratherium is a little better than the Diplodocus in terms of weight capacity, the Diplodocus heavily beats the Paracer on how quickly it can get around. For resources that the other Aberrant ARK natives cannot reduce the weight of (Blue Gems, Red Gems, etc), with the absence of flyers like the Argentavis or Rhyniognatha, Aberrant Diplodocus are among the best bulk haulers to get those goods back home across the cliff-strewn landscape.

Gatherer

The Diplodocus' attack area, weight capacity, and ease of taming make it an excellent early game alternative to a bronto for gathering large amounts of thatch and berries, with the added benefit of not aggravating nearby wildlife.

Once dead is also useful due to its large size, as it often obstructs the range of the turrets.
