The X-Concavenator is a carnivorous variant creature with unique stat scaling and abilities derived from the base Concavenator. It benefits from significant weight reduction in inventory, making it highly efficient for resource transport when paired with flying mounts. It can be carried by Tusoteuthis for mobile deployment in aquatic environments. This variant excels in fast, long-distance hauling operations where weight efficiency is critical.

Wait for a Concavenator to burrow, then hit it with an explosive. A grenade or a rocket stuns it for five seconds and that is the only window in which you can climb on, so have the next one ready. It shrugs off almost all of the blast while buried, so you are buying the stun rather than doing damage. Once you are up it tunnels away and shows you a run of four directions: hit them in that order as it jumps, and every one you place correctly makes the whole run worth more. Keep it travelling and keep landing tricks, because it throws you off if you stall, and then you need another explosive to get back on.
Taming the X-Concavenator requires a knockout method. Use a Bow, Crossbow, or Compound Bow with Tranq Arrows to sedate it. Immobilize it first with a Chain Bola, Bear Trap, or Large Bear Trap to prevent escape. The best food is Superior Kibble, which provides the fastest taming effectiveness. Raw Mutton also works well if kibble is unavailable. The tame takes about 27 minutes with Superior Kibble. Use the calculator below for your settings.
