X-Sabertooth Salmon

Overview

The X-Sabertooth Salmon is a variant carnivore found in aquatic biomes. It possesses enhanced melee damage compared to its base form, the Sabertooth Salmon, due to its +5% melee multiplier. This creature is primarily used in combat scenarios where its increased damage output can be leveraged. It can be airlifted by Quetzal or Karkinos for fast deployment.

Players may breed the X-Sabertooth Salmon, making it a sustainable option for underwater engagements and resource defense.
