Lightning Stegosaurus — Detailed Guide

The Lightning Stegosaurus is a lightning-infused Stegosaurus. The base Stego is a tanky plant eater, but this Lightning Creature of Astraeos in ASA is stronger and attacks on sight.

Where to find it

It spawns only on Therokis in Astraeos.

How to get one

It cannot be tamed, ridden or bred. For a berry gatherer or defensive mount, tame a normal Stegosaurus.

Uses

Corrupted Nodules and a chance at a Corrupt Heart.

Tips

Do not expect the calm behaviour of a wild Stego. Lightning Creatures are aggressive whatever the base animal is like. Fight it from range or with tames, since turrets do reduced damage to it.
