Compy shoulder advantage?

[Snakebearer]

What does the compy bring to the table as a shoulder mounted creature compared to other creatures? The other ones are quite appearant, and the wiki even mentions an advantage. But not for the compy. Anyone got any idea?

I assume like the dimo, it attacks from your shoulder. But it's attack is significantly weaker, and it doesn't get a pack boost on your shoulder it seems. Overall, dimos are the best shoulder mount. I guess a compy could be considered cute. But I find the way a dimo squats is kinda cute, so compies aren't very appealing as anything other than house pets.

Yea, if you are often on foot like me, tiny shoulder dino's are awesome. A L56 wild Compy can nearly kill a L75 wild Carno toe-toe because the carno has a hard time hitting it. A Tamed compy just destroys bigger dino's it gets right under. It is just another tool in the arsenal.

Dimo's are slow to attack when used shoulder mount unless you are flying in which case they instant retaliate anything your bird is holding. When used on foot Dimo's are super effective once their attack starts, especially against big dino's like Bronto's and Paracers.

Compy's with added speed are a fast attack creature on the ground and travelling with more than 1 has a greater advantage than travelling with an equal number of Dimo's.

If on foot i will carry the Compy depending on the terrain and area I am travelling.

If mounted on a Ptera or Argent - I always carry the Dimo for back up and the option of Air to ground / Air to Air attacks with a Spyglass.

When on a flyer and you press x to brake, the Compy jumps off (lost one this way). Does this happen with the Dimo? And if so, does the Dimo go back to your shoulder after it's done attacking?
