Overview
The Aberrant Araneo is a rare, cave-dwelling carnivore variant of the Araneo with enhanced melee damage. It is primarily tamed for its ability to be carried by flying and swimming creatures, enabling rapid deployment across the map. This makes it useful for mobile combat and quick extraction scenarios.
It can be airlifted by Argentavis or Karkinos, or carried underwater by Desmodus, Megalosaurus, Kaprosuchus, Quetzal, or Tusoteuthis for versatile transport.

More about taming the Aberrant Araneo
Aberrant Araneo is tamed passively by feeding it. The best food is Spoiled Meat, which provides the fastest taming. Raw Meat can also be used but is significantly slower. No narcotics are needed. The process takes about 13 minutes with Spoiled Meat. Use the calculator below for your settings.
