Overview
The Malfunctioned Tek Parasaur is a herbivorous creature with a unique malfunctioning Tek trait. It can be carried by larger creatures for rapid deployment across the map. This makes it useful for transporting resources or as a mobile platform in combat scenarios.
It can be airlifted by Argentavis, Karkinos, Megalosaurus, Quetzal, or Tusoteuthis to bypass terrain and enemy defenses.
