Overview
R-Equus is a herbivorous variant creature introduced in Genesis: Part 2. It reduces the weight of several resources in its inventory, making it valuable for transport efficiency. The most significant reductions are -80% on Clay, Sand, and Cactus Sap, and -50% on Stone and Chitin/Keratin. It can be carried by large creatures such as Argentavis or Karkinos for aerial deployment.
Players tame R-Equus primarily to streamline hauling heavy bulk resources across long distances with reduced encumbrance.

More about taming the R-Equus
R-Equus is tamed passively, requiring no knockout or traps. Feed it Rockarrot to complete the process, as it provides the highest affinity. Mejoberry can also be used but is significantly slower. The taming takes about 9 minutes and requires 23 Rockarrot at level 150 on Official settings. Use the calculator below for your settings.

Combat notes
R-Equus has a notable resistance to fire damage, taking -60% from fire-based attacks. It is highly vulnerable to instant-damage sources, taking +120% more damage from abilities like Instant HurtDinos. Spike walls are also extremely effective, dealing +100% bonus damage. Avoid fire-based taming tools or defensive setups when subduing it.
The head is the only hit zone with a damage multiplier, taking 2× damage. Target the head for faster knockouts when taming.
R-Equus can damage Thatch structures. Build at least in Wood to protect against its attacks.
