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.

Compare recorded corpse resource yields by harvesting tool.
Each harvest event rolls resources independently. Actual yields vary.
Killing an X-Helicoprion yields Raw Fish Meat and Raw Prime Fish Meat. The Dino (Fish Harvest) tool yields the most Raw Fish Meat, while the Sickle provides the highest amount of Raw Prime Fish Meat.
The X-Helicoprion gathers resources using its BuckFeedResponse attack. It harvests berries, seeds, mushrooms, rare flowers, sap, and thatch with a 10× multiplier. This includes Mejoberry, Narcoberry, Stimberry, Rare Flower, and Thatch. It excels at rapid plant node farming.
