Prime Achatina[]
A Prime Achatina next to a normal one for scale.
Prime Achatina is decently defensive, doesn't get a saddle but can wear player helmets. It produces six times the Achatina Paste than the normal Achatina, and holds up to 450. Killing a wild Prime Achatina, a small amount of prime chitin is obtained when harvested.
Boss Arena Access = Yes
K.O Taming = Yes
Passive Tame = No
Taming Food = Sweet Veggie Cake
Produces : Achatina Paste & Organic Polymer on wander.
Taming Strategy[]
The Prime Achatina is very easy to tame, with 1 dart being enough (depends on the level), but it is very hard to get them out of the swamp alive. The HP of wild Prime Achatina's is very low (usually around 1000), so finding and knocking one out is easy, but getting it back to your base alive is hard.
Method 1: Pick it up with a Quetzal and bring it back to a taming pen.
Method 2: Clear the area that surrounds where the Achatina is before trying to tame one.

After Tame Abilities[]
Prime Dung Beetle has a good amount of HP, defense, and has a multiple-poison projectile breath attack which generates torpor. The Right click also deals heavy torpor damage.

- Passive Tame = Level 15 (With the help of Ghillie Armor and/or Cactus Broth )
- Taming Food = Rockarrots, or Xeno Kibble
- Produces : Baby Herbivore Food & Baby Carnivore Food
After Tame Abilities[]
Prime Jerboa produces baby food on wander. However, since Prime Jerboas are breedable, leaving male and female Prime Jerboas on wander will reproduce babies. This is compounded by the issue that the new Prime Jerboa are born with a stack of Herbivore food and on wander. There's a possibility of the server crashing given sufficient time, as say a tribe is away for the weekend. This can make Tribes look like posers for the over population title. It is advisable to only allow wander for a specific gender so it will not reproduce babies. Note: Tame one of these early on : some dino, like bosses, will ONLY eat Baby Herbivore Food or Baby Carnivore Food after tame.

- Taming Food = N/A
.
Prime Ant[]
A Prime Titanomyrma next to a normal one for scale.

- Boss Arena Access = Manticore only
- K.O Taming = No
- Passive Tame = Level 65
- Taming Food = Spoiled Meat
Prime Titanoboa[]
A Prime Titanoboa next to a normal one for scale.
A Prime Titanoboa is a very difficult challenge as they inflict massive amount of torpor, and they can replace the regular Titanoboas that you might find in caves/dungeons. This makes the caves an even more dangerous place than before, as a Prime Titanoboa will almost always knock you out in one attack if it reaches you with the amount of torpor that they do. They do however take headshot multipliers, so use that to your advantage, grappling to the ceiling is highly reccomended. Be extra careful as it can climb most terrain.
