Overview
The Stegosaurus is a large herbivore that serves as a weight reducer and soaker in combat. It reduces inventory weight for several resources, most notably Bingleberry by -75%. This makes it ideal for resource transport runs where weight efficiency is critical. It can be airlifted by Quetzal or Tusoteuthis for fast deployment across long distances.
