There is no mention of it in the Wiki... for NO creature....

I don't think so...

Yes, it does

I'd have to test it in singleplayer to make absolutely sure (adding 10 weight at a time, and seeing when I can drag around other dinos), but stego/trike are around 450-500, mammoths were around 700 (that was a fun day with 700 weight. you'd have thought I sprouted an extra head that was declaming shakespeare or something when I dragged the mammoth corpse home). I believe paracers are around 750-800, and brontos are probably around 1000+

There's no need for YOU to do that... The WIKI should do that...

The wiki isn't made by the devs. It's player made. So unless a player tests it, the wiki doesn't get updated

The elevator tells me that it is at 4000 weight with a Giga standing on it with nothing else Quetz says 235, Rex says 550 and spino says 1000. All of these are without saddles or anything in the inv or anything else on the elevator
Edit: Not that it was asked for or need but he is a SS of the spino on the elevator to show you what I mean

You can weigh dinos using an elevator or a quetz.

Yeah, a Large Elevator Platform will tell you the weight of every land and aerial creature. I'd assume Queztals are still not allowed for the bosses (a Quetzal gunship would be easy mode).

playing on a regular server, only taming multiplier increased, and hatch speed increased, same with exp. i've done a lot of leveling on my rexes, and actually, i think my one rex might have 35k health but not 1k %, i may definitley be false on that, but i'll grab a pic real quick

not 1k % dmg, but if i killed more alphas, i can definitley get it there. as i stated, not playing on any stat changes server. only things on the server are taming speed, hatching, and exp gain. If I didn't add a couple extra points to health once it got to 30K, I probably could get to 1K a little faster. not disagreeing with you though, I'll check the server settings later and see what we've got terms of balance wise, almost 100% positive that there is nothing changed. You can actually see it in my argys though, no where near as good as they used to be, sadly.

Uhhh i've seen any rex get even close to that on official. I'm 100% positive that something has changed on your server .. You have been blessed by the RNG gods on your rex tames, but I'm seriously doubting that atm.

Drag weight is the weight of a Rex or dino with NO gear on it. So the weight of a Rex is 550. This applies to Quetzals picking up dinos or when dinos are sitting on Platform saddles. For example, as soon as a rex lands on a quetz saddle you'll be weighed down 550 even if it has nothing in it's inventory.

They are using drag weight to determine what size dinos can go through the teleporter.

Think of it as a hidden weight value. I believe humans are still 0.

Taming multiplier means Higher TE bonus when you tame so your stats can be better then official because you will have more chances to level when taming

120 rex with kibble gets 51 levels if u had like 10x taming its something like 60 levels can make a big difference if breeding.

Question on this topic... I have Nitrado host a server for me and in the settings there is a multiplier for wild dino levels (override difficulty)... If I change that multiplier at what point will I no longer be able to take adequate leveled dinos into the boss arena to pit against the bosses? I assume the drag weight increases with level and also assume that at some point the bosses level will out weigh any dino I could possibly bring in.

[Pradox]

Drag weight is by the type of dino and you can find the info for each dino on the wiki (Ie Rexs has a weight of 550 and the max you can take to a boss is 550 or 600 can't remeber which)
