Ossidon

The Ossidon is a hulking ice beast from Lost Colony in ASA. It hits hard with its claws, throws icicles that cause Frostbite, and can roll up creatures and players in its Bolus attack. It is one of the stronger ridden fighters on that map.

Where to find it

Lost Colony in ASA, in cold areas.

Taming

A passive tame based on riding. Tranquilize it to about half torpor, then mount it at least four times. While riding, use the Bolus to catch wild creatures and the icicles it fires. Each captured icicle raises taming efficiency, and every new mount costs some. The Ossidon Saddle unlocks at level 74.

Breeding

• Birth: live birth after about 7.9 hours of gestation.
• Growth: a baby takes about 3.9 days to mature at 1x.

Uses

• Combat: Claw Swipe and the heavier Claw Clap deal strong melee damage.
• Crowd control: Icicle Rain applies Frostbite from range.
• Loyal rider bonus: its Monstrous Affection passive gives stat and speed bonuses that build while the same rider keeps riding it.

Tips

Keep one main rider for each Ossidon so the Monstrous Affection bonus keeps stacking.
