Lightning Dimorphodon — Detailed Guide

The Lightning Dimorphodon is the lightning-infused version of the Dimorphodon, a small aggressive flyer that is deadly in swarms. It is one of the Lightning Creatures that ASA adds on Astraeos, stronger than the normal one and always hostile.

Where to find it

It spawns only on Therokis in Astraeos.

How to get one

It cannot be tamed, so it will not become a shoulder pet like a regular Dimorphodon. It cannot be bred either.

Uses

Corrupted Nodules and a chance at a Corrupt Heart, like other Lightning Creatures.

Tips

Fast flyers are hard to hit, and turrets do reduced damage to Lightning Creatures. Clear them with your own weapons before they gather in numbers.
