Aberrant Baryonyx

Tamed via knockout taming (Regular Kibble is the optimal food), this piscivore enters service with 325 base Weight, providing a solid weight pool. Breeding pairs lay fertilized eggs requiring 29°C–35°C incubation, after which juveniles reach adulthood requiring significant patience.
