Being a "fragile" carnivore, or... a living tank. Or a living freight train. Or a battering ram. Pick anything tanky and with more variance than a bite/slash/claw. The only Carnivore i'm really interested in is the Spinosaurus.
Well the Spino is getting an update at some point, so you might be in luck there, and personally I think the new model they have made for it is gorgeous.
Almost everything I know about the isle is the newer leaked/shown off stuff. So I'm basically going to be going in with only the Recode in experience. So there is that, when it happens.
And it shows, because most herbivores get torn up by carnivores unless there are a lot of them or they're the biggest of the big. You're lucky though, not having any knowledge prior to recode will serve you well.
Well I got the isle two-three months ago and can confirm it is an amazing game (Even with a few of its own flaws) And is also getting a complete recode in a matter of days.. Considering the time I have had it allow this to be evidence of its greatness
