Lightning Infused Rex — Background & Lore
The Lightning Infused Rex is a 
Rex charged with lightning, part of the Lightning Creatures of Astraeos in ASA. It is stronger than a wild Rex and always aggressive. Astraeos also has a separate 
Enraged Lightning Rex.
Where to find it
Only on Therokis, the fiery region of Astraeos.
How to get one
It cannot be tamed, ridden or bred. For a Rex of your own, tame or breed a normal one.
Uses
Corrupted Nodules, which can replace 
Organic Polymer in crafting, and a chance at a 
Corrupt Heart.
Tips
- Defenses: turrets do reduced damage to Lightning Creatures and
Metal Spike Walls do none. - PvP: they can damage Tek-tier structures, so keep bases on Therokis well away from their spawns.
