Corrupted Dilophosaur

Overview

The Corrupted Dilophosaur is a small carnivorous variant creature. It can be carried as cargo by flying and swimming mounts for rapid deployment across wastelands. This allows players to transport it safely into combat or remote areas without fatigue. It can be airlifted by Argentavis, Desmodus, Griffin, Karkinos, Megalosaurus, Tropeognathus, Kaprosuchus, Procoptodon, Pteranodon, Quetzal, Tapejara, or Tusoteuthis.

It is primarily used for quick raids and structural damage due to its aggression and mobility when deployed from aerial carriers.
