Lv 150 · knockoutHow You Get One
this creature is not tamedStep by step
- Find a nest. Deinonychus nest on cliff ledges — the canyons and mountain walls of Valguero, Ragnarok, Crystal Isles, Lost Island and Fjordur.
- Take the egg. Every Deinonychus in earshot aggros, and they pounce, pin and bleed you.
- Incubate, hatch and raise the baby on meat.
Also true
- A wild Deinonychus can be knocked out and killed like anything else — it simply cannot be tamed, so torpor is only ever defensive here.
- Eggs are also the only source of the creature for breeding lines; there is no wild tame to breed from.
Holding it still
BolaThrow it, it's stuck for 30 seconds. Carry a stack — you'll miss.
Bear TrapPlace it, kite the creature over it. Holds long enough to get darts in.
Large Bear TrapSame idea as the Bear Trap, sized for the big stuff. Bait it into walking over one.That's the full list — nothing else immobilizes a Deinonychus, per the game's own immobilizer table (drag weight 85).

Similar to the Wyvern,
Rock Drake, and 
Magmasaur, wild Deinonychus cannot be tamed, but a fertilized Deinonychus Egg can be stolen from a nest and hatched to obtain a tamed Deinonychus. Likewise similar to the Wyvern, Rock Drake, and Magmasaur, a typical player would need to be cautious, as these theropods react very aggressively to anything stealing their eggs. Unlike the Wyvern, Rock Drake, and Magmasaur however, Deinonychus are not initially aggressive to large-class predators such as Rexes or Spinos, and these tames may be walked directly up to the nests without conflict until an egg is stolen, making them excellent options for egg theft. Deinonychus nests can be found almost everywhere the dinosaurs spawn, but perhaps the most reliable place to find and farm eggs is the small canyon region in the White Cliffs called The Paradise, which is located in the flat plains area of the cliffs, near to The Lake region. Once an egg has been acquired, the incubation temperature is between 176 and 194 degrees Fahrenheit, or 80 to 90 degrees Celsius, which can be reached through the use of various fires (14 
Campfires for example), 
Air Conditioners, or a 
Dimetrodon. Once you've hatched your first Deinonychus, unlike the Wyvern, Rock Drake, and Magmasaur, the hatchlings do not require any special food source, and can be fed a standard carnivore diet straight out of the egg. Finally, similarly to the Wyverns and Magmasaurs, successive generations can be bred from tamed individuals, and mutations for higher stats may be acquired.
Stealing an Egg
The nests spawn all around The Paradise in The White Cliffs, and stealing an Deinonychus Egg won't be very hard with some these tames:
• A 
Lymantria is very recommended, with its ability to fly and poison you can run away easily. They are easy to tame and spawn all around The Paradise near the Deinonychus Nest. Their 
Lymantria Saddle also has a low level requirement (35).
• A high level 
Pteranodon is recommended because of its ability to fly: you can take the egg and fly away easily, or lure the pack off of a cliff.
• A 
Roll Rat Saddle 
Roll Rat can easily outrun the Deinonychus, making it highly recommended for the quest as well.
• A fast 
Sabertooth can be a good choice also, since they can be tamed easily and their spawn area isn't very far from the Chalk Hills.
• You, a Human, can also do the job. Place a 
Hide Sleeping Bag or a Bed near the nesting area, steal the egg and run away. If you happen to die, respawn at the bed and get your stuff back along with the egg. Watch out for the 
Allosaurus and the Raptors.
• A 
Yutyrannus could also be used to steal eggs. They are classed as large carnivores and as such won't aggro Deinonychus until an egg is stolen. Dienonychus are also susceptible to Yutyrannus' fear roar, so you just gotta grab an egg and fear roar them away.

Abilities

75 stamina
- Deinonychus Bleed
The Deinonychus Bleed is special, this bleed lasts for 7 seconds and can be stacked up to 5 times, reducing 0.03% per stack for a total of 0.15% at 5 stacks of the target's Health per second over the duration of the bleed This Bleed also scales with the Deinonychus's Melee Damage up to its cap of 700% reducing 0.18% per stack for a total of 0.9% at 5 stacks of the target's Health per second over the duration of the bleed. This scaling only starts above 200% so 0-199% Melee Damage will do the same bleed, then anything above will proportionally increase the bleed Finally, the most important feature about this bleed is that it can be applied to bosses.
- Pack Leader
The highest level Deinonychus of the pack receives Pack Leader buff constantly, increasing its Melee Damage by 25% and damage resistance by 12.5%.
