Overview
The Water Jug Bug is a small, flying herbivore that cannot be tamed. It breeds and damages structures, making it relevant in controlled environments. It can be airlifted by Quetzal or Karkinos for fast deployment.
It is primarily used in breeding setups or as a minor structural nuisance in poorly secured bases.
