If one is aggressive and attacks or is attacked by something. All the others on neutral will join in.

^This. I once had my whole base (which granted at the time was like 4 dodos, 2 turtles, a stego and a trike or some such) charge at a stego because back when this happened tames would tame out automatically aggressive. The stupid dodo would yell "CHARGE!!!" and all his idiot friends ran right along with him 🤣 thankfully I had a fence up lol. What I like to do to keep my dinos on neutral but also not attacking is to weigh them down with stone or wood.

Oh boy did I find this out the hard way a few months into the game. A base full of egg layers (50 or so) on neutral because I didn't know any better. 

Next few hours spent putting them all back in place. All for a single dillo that spawned in.

The important thing to remember about the Neutral setting, is they will always jump into the fight as soon as anything else nearby is in a fight. Neutral animals will not start a fight, but if your or your other dino's get into a fight they will join.

On aberration I used to have to leave ravagers *and x-plants all over my base inside and on the roof because wilds would just spawn inside and nibble on my spinos on some floor I hadn't visited in a day or 2.  Real fun to see those death messages while you are deep in the radiation zone.

It can come in handy sometimes. I once had a chalico break into my massive camp/base thing (a bunch of spike fences surrounding a huge open area with a handful of foundations in the center and tames surrounding it). It attacked one of my dilos I think, and all my tames (at the time, one stego, one diplo, three dilos, three phiomias, two raptors, one pachycephalosaurus, a moschops or two, and two direwolves). Everything was in a huge clump by the time the whole mess had been over with (I was out at sea on a raft, because chalico rock throw be scary-I was taking potshots at it with my simple pistol). It was sort of a mess, but at least nothing died.

I love it every time I get an otter and try to tame something right after, and then I hear a tiny chirp followed by a random blood effect splashing in my face when I check stats......CALM DOWN CRACK NOODLE!!! I was knocking them out, not killing em.
