I do find it funny that the one time I wasn't checking my orbital camera was the one time I got ambushed. Luckily, I had two back-up raptors at my home, so I hopped along my way home and precisely as I land on my house, a sandstorm brews.

Well, you can imagine that with one being about equal could have gone either which way, the second one destroyed the rest of my raptors, almost killed my procopt (kangaroo) and I was able to long jump away and escape them both. I'm thinking this could go either way, and just as I thought we were winning ANOTHER death worm appears. I had a few casualties so far, some bloody raptors, but the death worm also was bloody. I go get them, and the moment I get them back a death worm appears. I keep searching, I had reached the halfway point of the wyvern trench, when I realized I left my raptors behind. No biggie, I had expected to search for a while anyways. The death worm despawns by the time I figure it out. Fun fact, with the procoptodon, you have to use the orbital camera upside down, so I had to figure out which way I was facing. I searched for like no time at all, using the orbital camera, and I had found one. I rode on my procoptodon (kangaroo) searching through the dunes to find a death worm, as I really wanted a mantis. So I dont necassarily have to take long for breeding, as I have breeding timers cranked probably more than reasonably up, but it was still a tad pain to breed about 20 if I had to guess raptors.
