Astral Raptor
Variant
Overview
The Astral Raptor is a carnivorous variant creature. It possesses enhanced damage output against other dinosaurs and structures, making it a potent offensive mount in combat scenarios. It excels in raiding and hunting due to its high damage multiplier on melee attacks and vulnerability exploitation. The creature is primarily used to break enemy defenses and eliminate high-health targets quickly. Its combat effectiveness is further amplified by its resistance to certain damage types, allowing sustained frontline engagement.

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.
Damage Resistances
The Astral Raptor has a +120% weakness to damage from other dinosaurs. It takes -100% damage from Mining Drill Harvest, making it completely immune to that damage source. It also suffers +55% damage from metal-based melee attacks and +50% from explosions, making it highly vulnerable in raid scenarios. Avoid prolonged exposure to fortified defenses and use hit-and-run tactics.
