Best mid-game creature

[Lagonbreezey]

Following the poll I made yesterday, when expanding into mid-game you can manage to tame a whole plethora of unique creatures that were once much harder to tame, so whats your best mid-game tame?

I'd go with a wyvern (depends on the map) good travel mounts (can be utilized for metal runs with enough weight) great combat mounts (lightning wyverns are severely broken) and also it's literally a dragon.

argy......since their saddle was moved up to level 62, it takes forever to get to x.x
wyvern too I suppose. Basil, mosa, rock drake.....yeah. More or less the "one OP tame to tame the map proper" kind of dino

I think the Thyla is a really great mid-game tame, since it opens the ability to deal with alphas easily (bleed damage) and get yourself ready for caving, an important step to take when preparing for Bosses (endgame)
Its saddle if unlocked at lvl 51, so thats actually a good indication its mid-game. Players with levels above 105, are probably archieved after doing end-game stuff.
Taming-wise its not the hardest thing to tame, but functional-wise, it might be that dino that indicates you are mid-game...

This is PvE

For pvp, its the same, but for getting Alpha, the mid-game dino might just be a good Giga or Mana line

Shadowmanes - you can tame them as early as level 19, IIRC (when you get fish baskets), and they make for great general purpose combat mounts & travel creatures.

Not quite sure how you are defining 'best' but I really enjoyed learning to do mid-air Quetzal taming. And they are pretty useful before you get access to a transmitter.
