Overview
The Aberrant Lystrosaurus is a small herbivore variant found in the Aberration biome. It is tamed passively and reduces the weight of gathered resources in its inventory. This dino is primarily used to farm high-value plant nodes like Rare Flower and Mejoberry while benefiting from weight reduction. It can be airlifted by Argentavis, Desmodus, or Karkinos for fast deployment to remote zones.
It deals extra damage to Thatch structures, making it useful for light sabotage. Its compact size and passive taming make it a convenient early-game gatherer on Aberration and other maps where it spawns.

More about taming the Aberrant Lystrosaurus
Taming is done passively by feeding it directly. The best food is Rare Flower, which grants the fastest taming. Mejoberry also works but is significantly slower. No torpor is required. Use the calculator below for your settings.

Combat notes
Takes +120% damage from Instant HurtDinos, such as explosive plants or traps. It is highly vulnerable to explosions, taking +50% more damage. It resists spike walls and general explosions, taking 50% and 40% less damage respectively. Avoid using it in spike-heavy defenses.
The head has a 3× damage multiplier, making headshots highly effective for faster knockouts. Target the jaw area when sedating.
Can break Thatch. Build at least in Wood.

Experience
The melee attack gathers most plant resources at 10× efficiency, making it one of the fastest plant farmers for rare nodes. It can be tamed without knocking out, allowing safe taming in dangerous areas. Weight reduction applies to over ten resource types, improving cargo efficiency. It can be carried by flyers like Argentavis and Quetzal for aerial transport. Vulnerable to explosion damage, so avoid explosive traps when moving through enemy territory. Resists damage from spike walls, making it slightly safer near defensive perimeters.
