Overview
The X-Ankylosaurus is a variant of the Ankylosaurus, sharing its herbivorous diet and compact, armored build. It provides -85% weight reduction on Metal, making it exceptionally efficient for hauling heavy metal resources. This dino is primarily tamed to streamline Metal transport in large-scale building projects. It can be airlifted by Argentavis, Karkinos, Quetzal, or Tusoteuthis for rapid deployment to remote bases.
The weight reduction applies to inventory load, reducing strain during long-distance hauling operations.

More about taming the X-Ankylosaurus
Taming the X-Ankylosaurus requires a knockout method. Use Regular Kibble for the fastest taming, as it provides the highest affinity. Mejoberry can be used as a fallback if kibble is unavailable. Immobilize it with a Chain Bola, Bear Trap, or Large Bear Trap to prevent escape. Alternatively, apply Plant Species Y to incapacitate it. Use ranged weapons such as the Bow, Crossbow, or Compound Bow with Tranq Arrows to sedate it safely. The process takes around 41 minutes. Use the calculator below for your settings.

About gathering
While mounted, the X-Ankylosaurus can gather a wide range of resources using its tail and bite attacks. Its tail attack harvests Berries, Crop Seeds, Mejoberry, Narcoberry, Rare Flower, Rare Mushroom, Sap, Stimberry, Thatch, and Wood, all at 10× efficiency. The same attack also gathers resources from metal, stone, and sulfur nodes. Its bite attack supplements gathering with additional yields of mushrooms and stone. This makes it a versatile, high-efficiency gatherer for both plant and mineral nodes.

Experience
The tail attack gathers Thatch, Wood, and Berries at 10× efficiency, making it ideal for rapid node farming. Use this dino to harvest Plant Species X, Y, and Z seeds quickly. Its weight reduction on Metal pairs well with high-capacity carriers like Argentavis. Carry it with Karkinos or Tusoteuthis for amphibious base access. The -60% fire resistance allows safer operation in volcanic zones. Avoid placing it near spike walls due to its extreme vulnerability.
