Overview
Neophyte is a large carnivore with a unique role in transport mechanics. It can be carried by larger creatures such as Karkinos, Quetzal, or Tusoteuthis for rapid deployment across the map. This makes it ideal for tactical drops in combat zones or fast relocation during base sieges.
It does not carry other creatures itself. Its primary utility lies in being transported, not in transporting others.
