After spitting, there appears to be a cool-down during which the Dilo cannot spit again while engaging in melee combat. If you time it right, you can jump to the side to avoid the shot and continue your beat down. Players can tell they are about to spit (See Dangers) when they stand still and pull their heads back. Occasionally, a group can catch you by surprise in forests or grassland, their small size letting them hide easily.Įarly survivors caught off guard and unprepared for a fight can easily outrun a Dilo and live to fight another day. By midgame, they provide an easy source of meat and hide. However, with a bit of practice of dodging and a Spear, it becomes easy and almost natural. Failure to dodge this attack can turn the tide against you very quickly, even at relatively high levels. It can render a player nearly blind, while the poison within it slows movement speed and can drain heath, even more than their teeth on occasion. Though relatively small with a relatively weak biting attack, avoiding their spitting attack is critical. This makes it hard to retrieve the levels on a tamed creature, so this tool is only for wild ones, but gives a first impression, how well the stats are distributed.ĭilos are common on the beaches and are often one of the first carnivores to be seen by a survivor. Note that after the creature is tamed it gets bonuses on some stats depending on the taming effectiveness. The stat-calculator does not work in the mobile-view, see here for alternatives: Apps If threatened, a Dilophosaurus will erect its frill, hiss, and spit a greenish venom that stuns and blinds its target. However, these dinosaurs are also frequent scavengers. They are found alone or in small groups throughout the island and prey upon anything smaller than themselves. (There is a bug where Dilophosaur will attack tamed Argentavis, along with all other aggressive creatures.) The Dilophosaur is a highly adaptable animal seen in many environments, including beaches, plains, riverbanks, jungles, swamps, caves, and the Redwood Forest.ĭilophosaurus is a small opportunistic predator best distinguished by the twin crests on its head and the membranous frill surrounding its neck. Otherwise, they will scavenge dinosaurs that have already been killed and consume the meat of the corpse.

Dilophosaurus do not attack many other species of dinosaurs, except for Parasaur, Pteranodon (which they usually can't catch), Dodo, Moschops, Lystrosaurus, and other creatures which are smaller than themselves, or will not hurt them if attacked.

In spite of their fairly powerful arsenal, they have very low health and are easily taken down. While they do not officially live in packs, they can often be found with 2-3 others. Unlike other predators, the Dilophosaurus sometimes chooses to flee the player rather than attack. Dilophosaurus has a very small aggravation range, but if provoked, can produce deadly strikes in a very short time, as well as blinding you with a ranged poison that it will initially use before biting.
