Simple Kibble
Overview
The Aberrant Diplocaulus is a variant of the standard Diplocaulus, distinguished by its aberrant biology and enhanced melee damage. It excels at harvesting resources while mounted, making it a valuable gatherer despite its low health. Players tame it primarily for its ability to efficiently farm Black Pearl, Chitin, Oil, Silica Pearls, and Raw Meat. It can be airlifted by Argentavis, Desmodus, Griffin, Karkinos, Megalosaurus, Tropeognathus, Kaprosuchus, Procoptodon, Pteranodon, Quetzal, Tapejara, or Tusoteuthis for rapid deployment.
This creature is not used for combat or carrying cargo but shines in resource collection roles where speed and yield matter.

About gathering
While mounted, the Aberrant Diplocaulus uses its Bite attack to gather resources. It harvests Black Pearl, Chitin, Oil, Raw Meat, and Silica Pearls with a 32.5× multiplier each. This makes it one of the most efficient multi-resource gatherers in the game, especially useful in resource-rich biomes.
