Overview
The Chalicotherium is a medium-sized herbivore with a unique gathering specialization. It excels at harvesting Berries, Seeds, Fiber, Wood, and other plant-based resources at highly increased rates while being ridden. This makes it a top choice for survivors focused on efficient resource farming in dangerous or remote areas.
It can be airlifted by Quetzal or Tusoteuthis for fast deployment to harvest zones.

More about taming the Chalicotherium
Chalicotherium uses passive taming, requiring no knockout. Feed it Beer Jar while riding or standing nearby to begin taming. Stimberry can also be used but provides significantly less affinity. About 19 Beer Jars are needed. The tame takes approximately 12 minutes with full effectiveness and no Narcotics needed. Use the calculator below for your settings.

Combat notes
Chalicotherium takes +120% more damage from Instant HurtDinos sources and +100% from spike walls, making it highly vulnerable in defensive setups. It is -60% resistant to fire damage, reducing incoming fire-based attacks. Avoid placing it near spike walls or explosive traps.
The Head hitbox has a 1.5× damage multiplier, making it effective for targeted damage when knocking out a Chalicotherium. All other body zones use standard multipliers.
Can break Thatch and Wood. Build at least in Stone.

Experience
- The Seated Buff ability activates when mating, providing a passive benefit to the rider. Use Melee Hand or Melee Bite for maximum harvest efficiency on plant resources.
- It can be carried by Quetzal or Tusoteuthis, allowing for aerial transport to remote biomes.
- Its high vulnerability to spike walls means it should never be used in automated defense lines.
