Roles

Transport: The Pachyrhinosaurus has a good carry capacity and can be ideal for local transport, especially since the  Pachyrhinosaurus Saddle allows an extra passenger to ride along. This alone can allow one to ride the Pachyrhino while the other can wield a weapon protecting the tame and the other rider. Its calming essence can also be useful if one runs into small to medium-sized carnivores such as Raptors and you don't have a convoy or simply don't want to fight, as the Pachyrhino's base speed and damage sometimes won't be enough. (Level Weight, Speed, Stamina, and some Health)

Turret /Projectile Soaker: Similarly to how the  Triceratops has a facial shield made out of bone, the Pachyrhino also shares this trait and is dealt with greatly reduced damage when shot at the head. This can be especially useful for  Turret soaking, as it can face its head towards the oncoming projectiles and tank them. The head shield can also be useful in blocking bullet shots from enemy survivors. Use  Sweet Vegetable Cakes to heal during the process in order to further drain turrets. (Level  Health).

Gatherer: The Pachyrhinosaurus, like most herbivorous creatures, can gather  Berries, which can come in handy in the right instances and for large berry harvesting if no other creatures are available. Pachyrhinos are also quite adequate at collecting  Silk and  Rare Flowers, excelling in doing so compare to the majority of other gatherers but out-done by mounts like the  Therizinosaur. It can also gather  Wood and  Thatch.

Pheromones: The Pachyrhino has the quirky ability to release a mist containing a chemical and pheromone concoction that can either calm or rage nearby creatures depending on the one used. The calming affect is entirely unique to the Pachyrhino, however its release of a raging mist is similar in concept to the  Ammonite when it is harmed, the  Pheromone Dart when shot at a creature or survivor, the  Magmasaur when attacking and blowing smoke, and the consumption of a  Rare Flower. Both of the Pachyrhino's pheromone abilities last for 20 seconds each. Despite the Pachyrhino being rather slow, it can still make great use and versatility with its pheromones when used correctly and creatively.

  • Calming Essence ( Hidden): Its alternate attack (Rmb) expels a calming essence that makes you invisible for most hostile dinos (Doesn`t work with anything generally the size of a  Rex or bigger). Using such an essence is useful in protecting you and the Pachyrhino from most wild dangers, but can also be utilized for assisting with difficult passive tames such as taming the  Hyaenodon or  Onyc as it can keep them calm.
  • Raging Essence ( Rage): Pressing C will expel a raging essence that makes a variety of dinos attack you, such as the  Dodo or  Parasaur. Some herbivores like the  Carbonemys and  Triceratops may still ignore you though. This ability to expel gas that can sway the temperament or disposition of most creatures can be used in a variety of clever and creative ways. Some examples of use for this mist ability include but are not limited to: Angering fish nearby into a bait ball which allows easier fishing, enabling safe cave travel and sometimes allowing an artifact to be taken with ease, preventing animal fleeing during a knockout tame, attracting a swarm of nearby animals as a diversion or escape tactic, attracting nearby animals for mass taming or luring a potential tame into a trap, pacifying most annoying and aggressive creatures, pretending the mist are farts for a comical experience, and so on. The potentials are truly great. Level  Health,  Movement Speed, and some  Stamina. Bog Biome Transport: With its ability to use pheromones, the pachyrhinosaurus can help players traverse the bog biome by using its calm essence to protect it and the player from the surrounding predators with the only danger being the X-Spinosaurus since it is immune to its calming essence.
