Triceratops

Transport

While slow, if one disregards it's charge attack, it has a very good base carrying capacity. Good for local transport, but may get stuck on trees or rocks when traveling through woods. Note that if you are riding the triceratops, you can simply attack the trees, knocking them down; also, a ridden trike's attack does no friendly fire damage, so you can also clear trees out of the way of other non-mounted pack dinos that are following you (Level up Speed, Stamina, and Weight).

Travelling

Thanks to the 2nd TLC patch, the Trike can cover great distances in a short amount of time thanks to its charge attack, allowing it to serve a role where the Trike couldn't before. Holding the ability until it fully fills the charge meter will give the most speed and time, and ultimately the most distance. Travelling like this is most well used in open areas where one can anticipate potential dangers before getting hit and having the charge meter reset, and where there is little…

Gatherer

Excellent for gathering berries, second only to a , , or (Level up Melee Damage).

Battle mount

A decent battle mount for starters, as it can do some damage and knocks smaller opponents back (Increase Damage and Health), as well as having a swift charge attack that can stun and/or knock back enemies greatly and can blast through thatch structures in a way similar to the . Its head shield can also take reduced damage from bullets and arrows. Do not underestimate its knockback, because if you can master it you will be able to kill way stronger dinos and suffer little to no…

Guardian

While most people think first and foremost of the swift, deadly carnivores in terms of protecting their property, the Triceratops is much easier to tame earlier in the game than even midsized carnivores. A pair or trio of Trikes can act as the core of a guard force that will keep your home and herds safe from common predators such as , and . Unlike most dinos, Trikes tend not to die when pursuing Sarcos and other semi-aquatic creatures into the water—their AoE lets them fend off…

Protector

When being chased by wild predators, players may stand next to one and lure the predator to the Trike. Trike may kill the predator and left the corpse for harvest.

PvP Turret Soaker

The head of the Trike reduces damage by 85%. This can allow you to charge against a group of opposing and absorb their bullets with extreme efficiency. Since Trikes are relatively easy to tame, have more speed compared to the , and are much smaller than larger turret soakers such as and , they are effective substitutes for a growing tribe that is willing to raid. This turret soaking capability is almost exactly the same as the . Some players reduce even more the taken damage…

Thatch Gatherer

Though it's normal attacks will gather decent amounts, one can use the Ram attack to break down trees and gather very large amounts of in a short amount of time for a dino its size - without cluttering up its inventory with berries.
