Overview
The Corrupted Arthropluera is a rare carnivorous variant found in wasteland biomes. It is known for its ability to be carried by larger creatures, enabling rapid deployment across dangerous terrain. It can be airlifted by Argentavis, Desmodus, Karkinos, Megalosaurus, Quetzal, or Tusoteuthis for strategic transport.
This creature is not tamed for utility but valued in breeding programs due to its corrupted traits and carryable nature.
