Aberrant Meganeura

Overview

The Aberrant Meganeura is a small flying carnivore and an aberrant variant of the Meganeura. It deals significantly increased damage to structures and can be bred in captivity. This creature is primarily used for aerial combat and harassing enemy bases due to its ability to damage structures while flying.

It can be airlifted by Quetzal or Karkinos for fast deployment.

SettingsHarvest body HP 50 · Player melee % 100 · Weapon damage % 100 · Harvest rate × 1

Each harvest event rolls resources independently. Actual yields vary.
