[UnevolvedGaming]

Welcome to Unevolved Gaming,

As requested in the comment section, we are going to take a closer look at the Beelzebufo 

The Beelzebufo is a medium sized amphibian that shows a close resemblance to the modern day toad or bull frog, only far larger in size. It has a quick and lengthy tongue which allows it to kill and harvest insects such as the Meganeura or Titanomyrma almost instantly. Even though the Beelzebufo is a carnivore, it is not aggressive towards survivors or tamed creatures unless attacked.

The Beelzebufo can be found in the swamps and marshy area's on the Island, the center and ragnarok. They do however not occur on the Scorched earth map due to a lack of their natural habitat.

When attempting to kill a Beelzebufo survivors will have to keep in mind that the swamp is not the safest place to be on foot, there are many other hostile creatures in the area, such as the Kaprosuchus and Titanoboa. Even though the Beelzebufo is mostly a docile creature, its tongue attack can inflict torpor and can knock out a survivor in only a few hits, it is therefor best to make use of ranged weapons from an elevated position where their tongue can't reach you or a strong and powerful mount as the Megatherium.

When killed a Beelzebufo can be harvested for raw meat and hide

Survivors that want to tame a Beelzebufo are advised to clear out the area first or to lure the Beelzebufo to a safe location out of the swamp before knocking it out with tranquilizer arrows, darts and shocking tranquilizer darts. It is also possible to pick up a Beelzebufo with an Argentavis or Quetzal and drop it into a taming pen on a location of choice. Survivors that don't have access to a flier or play on pve can also make use of bola's and bear traps in order to stop a Beelzebufo in its track before knocking it out. When using a taming pen it is best to build one that is high enough so the Beelzebufo can not escape.

When knocked out the Beelzebufo can be given all kinds of meat or fish in order to start the tame, they do however prefer Pulmonoscorpus kibble, raw mutton, raw prime meat and raw prime fish meat

An unconscious Beelzebufo's torpor can easily be upheld with a relative small amount of narcoberries, narcotics or bio toxin.

When tamed a Beelzebufoo can be equipped with a saddle. This saddle allows survivors to make full use of their weapons while mounted and can be crafted in a survivors inventory when they reached level 40.

A tamed Beelzebufo is actually a very fast swimmer that doesn't need oxygen when submerged. On land they are fairly slow except when jumping. This jump can cover large distances and can be performed by pressing the A button on your controller. The Beelzebufo will regenerate most of the stamina that is used for jumping while in the air.

A Beelzebufo can strike its opponents with its tongue attack. This attack can be preformed by pressing the right trigger on your controller and causes the Beelzebufo to attack horizontally with its tongue from a decent distance. Even though the Beelzebufo's tongue attack inflicts torpor, it is rarely used to knock out creatures due to the frogs low base health.

The Beelzebufo can also strike its opponents at close range with a tongue swipe. This attack deals far more damage and torpor then the tongue attack and can be preformed by pressing the left trigger on your controller.

Both of the Beelzebufo's attacks can gather decent quantities of Cementing Paste and chitin in a relatively short period of time by attacking insects and harvesting their corpses. It also appears that Leeches will not attack tamed Beezlebufos, this makes them very useful to harvest Leech Blood.

When using the Beelzebufo to collect large amounts of cementing paste it is best to do this in the swamp as it has a larger population of Titanomyrma and Meganeura. These insects can usually be found in swarms and are attracted to dead creatures that are within their range. Insects that are scavenging a corpse will become aggressive when disturbed making them easy targets for the Beelzebufo.

In my opinion the Beelzebufo can be a very useful tame for starting survivors on both pve and pvp. It's ability to gather large amounts of chitin and cementing paste can be of great use for those who don't have access to beaver dams or an Achatina.
The Beelzebufo can also be a great mount when traveling the Island as they are fast swimmers and can cover large distances with their jump without using much stamina.
On pvp servers the Beelzebufo can be useful when raiding an enemy base that does not yet have a large amount of defenses as it can jump over walls and tranquilize enemy survivors in quick succession.
