Overview
The Aberrant Diplodocus is a massive herbivore variant found in the Aberration biome. It reduces the weight of resources gathered in its inventory, making it a valuable pack animal for long expeditions. It can be airlifted by Tusoteuthis for fast deployment across difficult terrain.
This dino is primarily tamed for its weight reduction ability, which increases carry efficiency during resource runs.

More about taming the Aberrant Diplodocus
Taming is done passively by feeding it while it eats. The best food is Regular Kibble, which provides the fastest taming. Mejoberry also works if kibble is unavailable. No narcotics are needed. Use a Chain Bola or trap it with a Bear Trap, Large Bear Trap, or Plant Species Y to keep it immobilized during the process. The tame takes about 6 minutes with 20 kibble at level 224. Use the calculator below for your settings.
