The Brontosaurus is a classic dinosaur that you’ve probably encountered on your first day of Ark. However, this calm herbivore is one of the strangest creatures you’ll ever find, due to its size and high melee damage. It knocks out everything that stands in its way with one tail attack and gets every resource available in the area.

It's truly powerful, dealing 100 melee damage per attack and while it’s difficult to tame it, its efficiency is worth it. Use Exceptional Kibel and pray for good luck, this is all the advice I can get you. Another interesting fact is that it’s the only creature in the game with a 1:1 damage - melee percentage scale.
