Party Dodo
Ignore
Overview
The Party Dodo is a small herbivore that cannot be tamed. It is notable for being breedable and capable of damaging structures despite its size. The creature can be carried by flyers such as Argentavis and Quetzal, making it easy to transport across the map. It is typically used for breeding or as a lightweight resource gatherer when mounted.
It can be immobilized with a Bola or trapped in a Bear Trap for handling.
Spawn Locations

Drops & Harvest Resources
Killing a Party Dodo yields Hide and Raw Meat. The Hatchet yields the most Hide, while the Pick favors Raw Meat.
Estimates based on game-extracted data (weights, quantities, harvest multipliers, damage type chains). Each harvest event independently rolls each resource - higher weight = higher drop chance. Actual yields vary with RNG.
Gathering Abilities
While ridden, the Party Dodo gathers resources using its melee attack. It harvests Berries, Mejoberry, Narcoberry, Stimberry, and their seeds at 10× efficiency. It also gathers Rare Flower, Rare Mushroom, Wood, Cactus Sap, and Fiber effectively. This makes it a versatile low-tier gatherer for seeds and plant-based resources.
Damage Resistances
The Party Dodo has a +120% weakness to Instant HurtDinos, meaning it takes significantly more damage from instant-hit sources. It is also highly vulnerable to explosions, taking +50% more damage from demolition effects. Conversely, it has -50% resistance to spike walls and ranged turrets, making those less effective against it.
