Aberrant Beelzebufo
Variant · 9 maps
Overview
The Aberrant Beelzebufo is a small carnivorous variant found in the Aberration biome zones and caves. It excels at harvesting Cementing Paste, Chitin, and Raw Meat with high efficiency while ridden. It can be airlifted by Argentavis, Desmodus, Karkinos, Megalosaurus, Quetzal, or Tusoteuthis for rapid deployment to resource nodes.
Players tame it primarily for fast, high-yield gathering in hazardous cave environments where its compact size and damage resistances are advantageous.

Tame the Aberrant Beelzebufo using knockout methods. Use a Bola or Bear Trap to immobilize it, then apply tranquilizers with a Bow, Crossbow, or Compound Bow using Tranq Arrows. Regular Kibble is the best taming food. Raw Mutton also works well for faster taming.
The process takes around 10 minutes with 9 units of Regular Kibble at level 224. No Narcotics are needed. Use the calculator below for your settings.

Drops & Harvest Resources
Killing an Aberrant Beelzebufo yields Hide and Raw Meat. The Hatchet yields the most Hide, while the Pick maximizes Raw Meat.
Estimates based on game-extracted data (weights, quantities, harvest multipliers, damage type chains). Each harvest event independently rolls each resource - higher weight = higher drop chance. Actual yields vary with RNG.
Gathering Abilities
While ridden, the Aberrant Beelzebufo gathers resources using its attacks. Both Attack 1 and Attack 2 yield up to 4× Cementing Paste, 3× Chitin, and 3× Raw Meat. This makes it one of the most efficient sources for Cementing Paste in the game, especially in cave networks where these resources are abundant.
Damage Resistances
The Aberrant Beelzebufo has a +120% weakness to Instant HurtDinos, making it extremely vulnerable to explosive damage types. It also takes +100% damage from spike walls, which are highly effective in defense setups. Conversely, it has -100% damage from Mining Drill Harvest, making it immune to drill-based damage.
