Allosaurus or Carnotaurus

[Balbus Balix Bal Baron Val]

Which would be the best pick?

[Myst?c]

you need 3 allos to make it worth while

Allo is a lot better than a carno even without the group boost. It is up to you though. Carnos are still nice and are a LOT easier to deal with while knocking them out. They go down faster and you don't have to worry about other dinos since they spawn by themselves.

may as well tame 3 allos, cause its rare that they arnt in the pack together

There's a chance they'll spawn as a pair. Not sure how it's weighted percentage wise, but I've seen plenty of Carno pairs on The Island.

EDIT: I prefer the Carno over Allos, but if you can get yourself 3 good Allos...3 is always better than 1.

Allosaurus. All the way. And like everyone said, they are better in 3 pack. That way one of them will become the alpha and get bite bonus.

Therizino :)

I'm currently breeding a pack of Allosaurus. They're a great middle ground between Rex and Carno and they mature rather quickly as well. Plus, if your larger pack fragments during battle, they form 2 new packs each with their own alpha. Sometimes with all 7 standing in my holding pens I see the two highest with the boost, so I think it may occur for every 3 Allo in proximity

Definitely Allos. They are just better than Carno in every aspect. They also look more ba and less derpy, so... ;)

I have some good tricks at taming both, if you want me to help you tame one in-game message me or add me.

Personal preferance really, think carnos gather more meat, personally I prefer the Al even over Rexes, you can tame some pretty decent ones too I've a pack all with around 12k hp and 400% melee.

Carno - knockback when using right click
Allo - alpha boost (with three Allos)

Carno - more agile I think
Allo - faster, on par with a rex

Carno - better base stamina
Allo - better base health

Carno - better base melee
Allo - better base weight

Carno - an appearance only a mother could love
Allo - one of the best looking models in the game (although there is a certain plastic feeling that gets very pronounced with some colours).

Both are equally easy to breed (pretty much the same mating, incubating and maturation stats).

On official servers I think it's easier to find good saddles and saddle BPs for Carno, not a 100% certain about this though.


As g0rml3ss says, it's about personal preferance really. I'm team Allo and my tribemate is team Carno any day of the week and we both love our midsized killing machines.
