Baryonyx Warning

[Teratus]

Ok what?

This thing apparently only attacks fish and water Dinos.. yet had absolutely no issue what so ever with sneak attacking me while flying low over water..

In one attack it dismounted me from my Pelagornis.. stun locked me in the water then murdered my Pelagornis before coming back to stunlock me to death..

I can't see anything about it being able to dismount players on it's wiki and frankly the whole thing about it being passive to everything besides fish is total nonsense.. The Pelagornis is a bird and classed as a bird via the bird group.
The Baryonyx is only supposed to target water creatures that drop fish meat not Raw meat which it doesn't and can not even eat.

Frankly this Dino despite being a carnivore shouldn't even be aggressive towards human players.. let alone birds.. it makes no sense when it can't even eat the meat it harvests from us.

Fix this please.. I'm getting tired of loosing Dinos to stupid things like this.. It wasn't that long ago I spawned into my single player game face to face with one of those blasted Therizinosaurus which was not there when I logged out the night before.. which then proceeded to kill me my monkey and my damn ptera before the game had even loaded in and given me control over my character.

This is the kind of thing that can quickly make people bitter about ARK and want to quit.
Loosing Dinos is one thing.. loosing them for bs reasons you had no chance to do anything about is totally another..

And while i'm at it.. what the hell is the deal with wild birds fleeing when they get attacked but once tamed they go full idiot and stand there waiting to die..
I don't set my birds on passive and yet they might as well be.. since both my now dead Ptera and Pelagornis stood there and refused to fight back or flee when they were attacked..

Well... It's actually a Piscivore, not carnivore.
And you likely had your birds on attack my target but you weren't giving them a target. Put them on neutral, it always works for me.

All land and flying dinos will not attack anything whatsoever if it is in water, regardless of whether it is a land or water dino (or if the tamed dino is even being attacked).

I agree, as 2 attacked me when i was getting out of my raft.....any ways hope you have your flamesuit on :)

I always put all my Dinos on neutral.. that's why this bothers me.. it should not have sat there like it was on passive.. unless the Baryonyx also has the secret ability to stunlock Dinos in water as well which would make it the most OP water mount in the whole game..

On a secondary note.. I have captured the very same Baryonyx now.. I used an Argen to literally grab it out of the water where it killed me.. It completely ignored me while I did this and only turned hostile after dumping it in my taming pen.. seems like it has a completely different aggressive stance towards the Pelagornis than it does to other birds.. which it really shouldn't considering Pela isn't a fish and doesn't qualify for the Piscivore diet.

But it does live on water...

...and it eats fish, maybe its competition?

The Dossier isn't accurate, it attacks everything it sees
I tamed one early game with bolas and club (low lvl of course) and t was attacking everything on land and water.

when it gets low though it runs away to eat fish and goes full wolverine healing factor. extremly usefull dino especially early game.
