Overview
Aberrant Ovis is a small herbivore variant found in the Aberration map. It features a passive taming method and provides significant weight reduction for harvested resources when carried. The creature is primarily used to gather large quantities of plant-based resources efficiently while reducing inventory load. It can be airlifted by Argentavis, Desmodus, Griffin, Karkinos, Megalosaurus, Kaprosuchus, Procoptodon, Quetzal, or Tusoteuthis for rapid transport to resource nodes.
This makes it ideal for quick foraging runs in hazardous zones where speed and extraction matter.
