Aberrant Gigantoraptor
Variant · 12 maps
Overview
The Aberrant Gigantoraptor is a rare variant of the Gigantoraptor found in cave systems and fertile zones. It passively tames and reduces the weight of inventory resources while providing strong gathering capabilities. Its Kick attack harvests a wide range of plant-based resources and Wood at high efficiency. It can be airlifted by Quetzal or Tusoteuthis for fast deployment.
This dino is primarily used for efficient, mobile gathering of berries, seeds, fiber, and wood in hazardous areas where quick extraction is needed.

Drops & Harvest Resources
Killing an Aberrant Gigantoraptor yields Hide, Raw Meat, and Raw Prime Meat. The Hatchet yields the most Hide, while the Pick is best for Raw Meat. Dinos with Prime harvesting capabilities maximize Raw Prime Meat.
| Resource |  Pick |  Hatchet |
|---|---|---|
| 40%~15~12 hits | 60%~22~9 hits | |
| 60%~17~12 hits | 40%~11~9 hits | |
| 3%~1~12 hits | 2%~0~9 hits |
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.
