Overview
Dimetrodon is a small carnivore used primarily in breeding. It can be carried by larger creatures for transport, making it easy to deploy in remote areas. It is tamed to serve as a mobile incubator for egg-laying species due to its body heat.
It can be airlifted by Argentavis or Karkinos for fast deployment.
