Overview
The Aberrant Equus is a herbivorous variant creature found in the Aberration biome. It reduces the weight of several resources in its inventory, making it highly efficient for transport logistics. This reduction is especially valuable when paired with flyers like Argentavis or Karkinos, allowing faster material movement across the map.
It can be airlifted by Quetzal, Karkinos, Megalosaurus, Tusoteuthis, and Argentavis for rapid deployment.

More about taming the Aberrant Equus
Taming the Aberrant Equus is done passively by feeding it while mounted or on foot. The best food is Rockarrot, which grants the fastest taming progress. Base Veggie also works but is significantly slower. No narcotics are needed. About 23 Rockarrot are required. Use the calculator below for your settings.
