Aberrant Stegosaurus — Detailed Guide
The Aberrant Stegosaurus is the Aberration version of the Stego, the plated herbivore. It works like the base creature, with a tail that hits a wide area and back plates that change how it fights and gathers.
Where to find it
It is a fairly rare spawn on Aberration and Valguero in both games, plus Astraeos in ASA and Fjordur in ASE.
Taming
A knockout tame. It is docile until attacked, then fights back with heavy tail swings. Knock it out and feed it
Regular Kibble, its preferred food, or berries. The
Stego Saddle unlocks at level 26.
Breeding
- Egg: hatches in about 2 hours 47 minutes at 22 to 28 °C.
- Growth: a baby matures in about 2.1 days at 1x.
Uses
A sturdy herbivore for gathering plant resources and for defense against smaller predators.
Tips
Its tail swing covers a wide arc. Keep your other tames out of the way when it fights.
