Lightning Chalicotherium — Detailed Guide

The Lightning Chalicotherium is the lightning-infused form of the Chalicotherium, the large beast that throws boulders at its targets. As one of the Lightning Creatures of Astraeos in ASA, it is more powerful than the normal animal and always hostile.

Where to find it

It spawns only on Therokis in Astraeos.

How to get one

It cannot be tamed, so the normal Chalicotherium's Beer Jar tame does not apply. It cannot be ridden or bred either.

Uses

Corrupted Nodules, which work as a substitute for Organic Polymer, and a chance at a Corrupt Heart.

Tips

Keep moving when it winds up a throw, and use the Enforcer if you have one: it deals four times its usual damage to Lightning Creatures, while turrets are much weaker against them.
