Which dino is best for knocking out other dinos?
Which dino is the best for knocking out other dinos? Also is it possible to give more torpor to the knocked out dino by commanding the unseated dino to add more torpor?

I like the scorpion for that, but you do have to be mindful that it takes 10 seconds for the venom to take full affect, and does not stack. So you have to sting and kite, sting and kite, in around ten second intervals.

A friend of mine swears by his pack of pachy's, hes got eight of them, for swarming a target then quickly whistling passive when the target flops over. I don't like this method, as it has a high tendency to kill the target whenever I try it.

Well in terms of raw numbers the Pachy has the best overall KO capacity, but due to how ungainly, buggy and fragile it is that dino isn't as good as the frog or scorpion for some tames.

For overall utility the frog is the best, with unriveled hit and run (or hop) abilities it can minimize damage to itself by creating a distance between itself and the target dino while waiting for the torpor poison to run its course.

Scorpions are a oldy but a goody still due to ease of taming and better saddle than the frog, as well as the ability to attack under water unlike the frog.

Theres no way to 'add more torpor' beyond hitting a unconcious dino again, which will reduce taming efficiency and run the risk of killing said tame.

(Spiders can also inflict torpor but they are really bad for it and buggy as hell, though they arnt entirely useless for multiple people working on a tame , useless solo though.)
