Overview
The Aberrant Triceratops is a large herbivorous variant found in the Aberration biome. It excels at harvesting a wide range of plant-based resources while being ridden. Its primary utility comes from its ability to gather Berries, Fiber, Wood, and Seeds at high efficiency. It can be airlifted by Quetzal or Tusoteuthis for fast deployment across difficult terrain.
Players typically tame it to serve as a mobile gatherer in resource-rich caves and fertile zones.
