Overview
The Lost Ceratosaurus is a carnivorous variant creature with a unique venom-based attack mechanic. It can be carried by Tusoteuthis for aerial transport and ambush tactics. This pairing enables rapid deployment into combat zones or remote areas for efficient hunting and node control.
It excels in offensive roles where its high-damage special attacks and structural damage capabilities are utilized. Players tame it primarily for its ability to exploit weaknesses in enemy defenses and deal significant melee damage.

Combat notes
The Lost Ceratosaurus takes +200% damage from spike walls, making it highly vulnerable to defensive setups using them. It also suffers +120% damage from Instant HurtDinos and +55% from metal melee raid attacks. Conversely, it is fully immune to mining drill harvest damage and takes -50% damage from projectile-based melee attacks and small ranged turrets.
The head has a damage multiplier of 1.5x, making headshots more effective for faster knockouts or kills. All other body zones take standard damage.
Can break Thatch and Wood. Build at least in Stone.

Experience
The HornThrust_Special attack deals 165 damage with an 8.5-meter range, making it highly effective for burst damage. It takes +200% damage from spike walls, so avoid placing it in such defenses. It can be carried by Tusoteuthis, enabling aerial ambush strategies. Its roar ability has a 20-second cooldown and may serve as a positional deterrent.
