Basic Information
Common Name: Procoptodon
Species: Procoptodon vivencurrus
Time: Pleistocene
Diet: Herbivore
Temperament: Reactive
The first marsupial I've encountered on the island is the Procoptodon vivencurrus. Standing nearly three metres tall, it is also the largest jumping creature I've ever heard of. It is a fairly peaceful herbivore that only fiercely attacks if aggressors upon.
Domesticated
Procoptodon's dry pouch makes it an excellent beast of burden that can carry far more than other creatures of its size. But more importantly, many tribes use it as a two-seater transport by having a secondary rider nest in the pouch. Since the passenger doesn't have to worry about controlling the Procoptodon, the pouch-warrior can focus on firing his or her weapons!
Other
One of Procoptodon's most unique traits is its pouch. Unlike many pouched marsupials, Procoptodon's pouch is relatively dry, and has little in the way of sticky or oily fluids. I assume this is good for the joey, but I have not figured out exactly why yet...

Behaviour
Procoptodon is a peaceful herbivore that can coexist with other creatures, unless it is attacked, at which point it will defend itself fiercely.
Resources From Harvesting
Raw Meat and Hide will be obtainable from dead Procoptodon.
Taming Method
Apart from future alternative taming methods, one way to knock a Procoptodon out would be to tranquilise it from afar, since it is a creature that will defend itself.
Food
Procoptodon is a herbivore, feeding on berries.
Some foods will be more effective during the taming process, such as Kibble.
Utility
Procoptodon can carry much more supplies as compared to other creatures its size, thanks to its pouch, thus it is an excellent and fast pack animal.
The more unique trait of Procoptodon is that two survivors can ride on it at a time, one riding on top of it while the second rides in its pouch. Multiple riders is something few other creatures can support, thus making Procoptodon rather sought after.

Just earlier this week, Diplodocus was revealed! Not only is another sauropod coming to the game, it can seat up to three survivors in its multi-seater saddle! How cool is that?!
Also, ARK: Fear Evolved is live! This awesome Halloween event is just the first in a series of large-scale celebrations coming to the ARK!
