Time

Wild
I feel lucky to have crossed paths with Carcharodontosaurus medicupestis and lived to tell the tale. Though I’m not sure if this predator grows bigger than a Giganotosaurus, I hope never to find out. Just one of these bruisers held its own against an army of us, and that encounter cost us dearly.
Carcharodontosaurus can sweep aside attackers with its tail, but it’s the other end you’ll really want to avoid. It has teeth like steak knives, set in jaws strong enough to shred most prey. Even a near-miss will carve you up, but good.
Like its namesake the great white shark, Carcharodontosaurus gets more dangerous once it tastes blood. Each kill seems to give these monsters a rush and drive it into a berserker frenzy.
Domesticated
Anyone that manages to tame a Carcharodontosaurus will gain a new way to rally their tribe for battle. There’s something about this monster’s roar that drives others to fight — a war cry for Hell’s own army.
The more tactical tribes will let their Carcharodontosaurus tear through the mid-sized creatures in their enemy’s ranks, thereby building up its bloodrage to take on the largest threats. Talk about shock and awe!
Behavior[]
The Carcharodontosaurus will attack wild creatures and players on sight.

Weaponry[]
Dangers[]
The Carcharodontosaurus almost has the health of a giga and does roughly around the same damage as one along with inflicting a status affect called shredding which shreds through any creatures health. Once the Carcharodontosaurus has killed another dino, it will get a speed buff.
Weakness[]
LIke Giganotosaurus, Carcharodontosaurus is also a poor swimmer, additionally, Wild Carcharodontosaurus's bite does not inflict Gnashed effect and it deal less damage than Giganotosaurus at same level, it also has 10k less health, any strategy works on Giganotosaurus should work against Carcharodontosaurus as well.
Taming[]
In order to tame a Carcharodontosaurus, first you'll have to kill some creatures, drag the body and move close to it, it will begin to sniff, once this animation plays, let go of the corpse, and it will slowly move towards the corpse and eats it (don't get too close as it is technically an attack as well), after it ate the corpse, a special taming icon will appear, feed it enough corpses this way and it will temporarily become ridable for 10 minutes. Mount it and slaughter every creature to add taming efficiency until it is tamed.
