X-Helicoprion

Overview

The X-Helicoprion is a variant-class carnivore. It reduces the weight of several resources by 50%, including Metal, Stone, and Crystal. This makes it useful for transporting heavy hauls of valuable materials across long distances.

It can be airlifted by carriers such as Quetzal or Karkinos for fast deployment. Players typically tame it to streamline resource logistics in high-tier bases.
