Intro: Diprotodon is large species of prehistoric wombat in the Vombatoformes order. Diprotodon weighs up to 6172.9 pounds and is up to 4 meters long. Diprotodon has many uses which this dossier explains. The Diprotodon will take 1.5x increased damage to Thylas, Megalania, and Argy's as they are their natural predators IRL. (Note: Haasts eagle is not in game so I used Argentavis as it.
Dossier/ Taming info.
In order to tame a Diprotodon you need some of its favorite foods; Exceptional Kibble, Rare Mushrooms, Cactus Sap, Mejoberrys (any berry works too.) And any base veggie. In order to tame one you'll have to feed it when it is resting on the ground passively. BUT if the Diprotodon sneezes one you try to feed it, the Diprotodon will release a pheromone in its snot that attracts nearby creature to attack you.

"Wild:
I have only seen two Marsupials around this hot desert in my entire time being here; Thylacoleo and Procoptodon. But when I was wandering the more shady areas of the mountains I saw a large wombat! After closer inspection though, I discovered it was a real Diprotodon Optatum. I have seen that these creatures have a very sensitive immune system and sneezes, a lot! Diprotodon likes to sit, sleep, and bask in the sun and sand all day which triggers it to be very sneezy and congested. Diprotodon has evolved a gland in its nasal area that flexes when it sneezes and releases a pheromone that smells like a rotting Ovis carcass which attracts predators big and small to attack, and I have never seen one extort in this behavior at me yet, but from lore from neighboring tribes states that one survivor was killed by a local Rex pair due to this deadly pheromone. Diprotodon cans sustain a brief climb up small mountains of cliffs, and I've also observed them manage to clamber up larger tree's too.
Tamed:
A tamed Diprotodon is VERY worth your while. These creatures sneezes have very interesting substances in their snot. They produce a substance so similar to Tusoteuthis ink, Absorbent Substrate, Oil, Congealed Gas balls, and many more resources. They also have picked up many resources that can get stuck in its dense fur and thick hide. You can use scissors to extract these items by cutting them out of its fur. Diprotodon can use this sneezing adaptation to attract wild predators of all sizes besides Thylacoleo which is somehow immune to this effective pheromone. Diprotodon's saddle can be used as a mobile cooking pot/industrial cooker. These creatures seems to be so scared of Thylacoleo to the point where it takes increased damage to its already powerhouse bites. The Diprotodon has been seen to use its Pheromone to 'tame' nearby predators with the pheromone. But this does mess around with the other creatures immune system and after five minutes of being with you it will die due to a toxic brain eating chemical the pheromone is composed of."
Requirements/ Cosmetics.
The Diprotodon saddle can be unlocked at level 45 and the two attachments can be learned at level 50. The two attachments include the Industrial Cooker attachment which only needs Gasoline to work and it also has the Turret Attachment which again needs gas to work. I would like it to be on other maps with desert biomes or even in Asgard on Fjordur. I think it would fit in to have an Rockwell variant in the Eden area but that is just a suggestion.
Feel free to comment more ideas that fit in!
