Uses
Resource Farming
Because of its huge tail the Brontosaurus can harvest a large amount of berries from bushes and even gather wood and thatch from trees.
Mobile Base
Utilizing its large health pool and impressive weight capacity it can bring a lot of armaments and supplies to the battlefield and be at relative ease under the shadow of the Brontosaurus.
A tribe may choose to use the Brontosaurus platform to process resources in different locations so instead of carrying raw materials the tribe can maximize their output by processing the resource on site.
Tank
The Brontosaurus is capable of enduring more damage than other creatures due to its high base amount of health and with its large tail it can also hit enemies in a large arc dealing damage and knocking them back.
How to Tame Brontosaurus?
The Brontosaurus can be immobilized using a Large Bear Trap and thereafter, it may be shot at with tranquilizing weapons by you and your tribe..
It is also possible to tame a Brontosaurus without a Large Bear Trap but a mount would be required as you shoot and run away from it repeatedly until it is knocked out.
Staying at high areas where the Brontosaurus has no reach can be an easy way to tame it and when it begins to run you can then chase after it.
