Corrupted Stegosaurus

Overview

The Corrupted Stegosaurus is a large herbivorous variant found in wasteland biomes. It reduces the weight of Bingleberry by -75%, making it valuable for efficient harvesting and transport. It can be airlifted by Quetzal or Tusoteuthis for rapid deployment to resource nodes.

This variant is primarily used to farm Bingleberry with minimal inventory strain, especially in high-risk areas where fast extraction is essential.
