Hide is a resource that can be acquired by harvesting corpses with most tools and dinosaurs. It is dropped by most Creatures that aren't Fish or Invertebrates.

Gathering

When harvesting a corpse without a dino, using a  Chainsaw is the most effective tool to use. Hide can also be harvested with a  Metal Hatchet or  Pick. See the chart below for the most effective ways to harvest Hide.

Notes/Trivia

  •  Phiomias can yield large amounts of  Hide and  Meat, however, they will flee from players when attacked.
  •  Parasaurs hold no inherent danger, as they will flee upon initiating combat, often getting themselves stuck on rocks or trees. This opens it up to be easily killed or knocked out.
  •  Dodo and  Lystrosaurus are good sources of  Hide early game.  Dilos too, but you need to fight them.
  •  Jerboa are common, easy to kill and yeild more  Hide than even a paracer, making them great sources of hide in all stages of the game although still outmatched by  Phiomia.
