Lightning Carnotaurus — Detailed Guide

The Lightning Carnotaurus is a lightning-infused Carnotaurus, one of the Lightning Creatures of Astraeos in ASA. It is stronger than a normal Carno and attacks on sight, regardless of the base creature's temperament.

Where to find it

Only on Therokis, the fiery region of Astraeos.

How to get one

It cannot be tamed, ridden or bred. Tame a regular Carnotaurus if you want the mount.

Uses

It is hunted for loot: Lightning Creatures often drop Corrupted Nodules and can drop a Corrupt Heart, and some carry Black Pearls or AnglerGel.

Tips

  • Look: Lightning Creatures glow yellow, and your hits on them show purple markers.
  • Defenses: turrets do reduced damage to them and Metal Spike Walls do none. In PvP they can damage Tek structures.
