Overview
The Tek Stegosaurus is a large herbivorous variant creature. It reduces the weight of inventory items, making it highly efficient for resource transport. It can be airlifted by Quetzal or Tusoteuthis for rapid deployment across long distances.
This dino is primarily tamed to carry heavy loads with reduced weight, especially useful during extended gathering expeditions in hazardous biomes.
