What it’s good at

Knock-Out!

Both the Charge and Non-Charge attack instantly increases a target's Torpor when hit. The induced torpor by the charged attack even gets a bonus of 3.5 to the already increased attack damage multiplicator of 1.7 compared to the regular attack, resulting in a 5.95 higher induced Torpor. Increases in a Pachy's damage will make for a more effective, and quicker, knock-out. If you use the Charge attack to assist in the process, increases in Melee Damage and Stamina will make for more…

For taming purposes, pairing a with your Pachy to act as a health-spotter is a perfect combination for making sure your headbutting isn't about to kill your knock-out target. This can be further enhanced with the addition of a on stand-by for emergency healing of the taming target. This can be invaluable for high-torpor, low-health targets like the or . For smaller targets, using a or can immobilize or snare the target long enough to enable an easy knock-out. For large, fast, and/or dangerous…

Battering Ram

Increases in Speed and Damage can turn the Pachy into a battering ram that can knock down Thatch and Greenhouse structures very easily and more slowly destroy wooden buildings, as well as knock out enemies. Their charging attack also can destroy a with ease and thus can be useful in low-level raids to clear them.(Level Health and Melee Damage, with some Stamina).

PvP Soaker

The Pachy has one of the most powerful damage reduction on its head (x0.125), this in combination with its small size makes it one of the few creatures that can soak the turrets of areas with narrow entrances. However, the Pachy does not have good base , so it needs to be the result of a good breeding line + a good saddle to actually be decent. (Level up Health).

Combatant/ War-Horse

Not only is the Pachy's Charge Attack extremely efficient at damaging primitive buildings, but they can also deliver sufficient damage with their swift charges to tames and survivors, especially when in Mate boosted groups, making them capable war mounts in the low-tier stage of the game. The faster a Pachy is moving when it hits its target, the greater the increase in damage and the torpor it gives out.(Level Health and Melee Damage, with some Stamina).

Travel

Pachy's Charge Attack can bring them up to high speeds in a short amount of time, and while the initial start of the charge will use a considerable amount of charge, the Pachy can sustain that charge for a relatively long period of time without the need of much stamina. They are however prone to stumble or being stopped by rocky terrain or pack attacks and they are unable to turn while in a charge. Nevertheless, they can be useful to low-level players in long distance traveling.…

Early-Game Mount

The can be unlocked at level 14 and thus can be utilized rather early in-game. Though the Pachy's damage itself is not too impressive, its torpor can be used to tame creatures when other taming methods are still rudimentary and while it can't gather berries, it can gather thatch and small amounts of wood needed for building and crafting. One more advantage to the Pachy is its ability to travel far and long distances with ease, given there is a clear path to do so like the…
