Beelzebufo
Farmer · 18 maps
Overview
The Beelzebufo is a medium-sized carnivore known for its role as a farmer. It reduces the weight of resources in its inventory, making it highly efficient for hauling. This dino excels at transporting materials over long distances. It can be airlifted by Argentavis or Karkinos for fast deployment.
Players typically tame the Beelzebufo to streamline resource runs and reduce encumbrance during collection tasks.

Drops & Harvest Resources
Killing a Beelzebufo yields Hide and Raw Meat. The Hatchet yields the most Hide, while the Pick favours 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 Beelzebufo harvests resources using its attacks. Both Attack 1 and Attack 2 gather Cementing Paste at 4× efficiency, along with Chitin and Raw Meat at 3×. This makes it highly effective for mass-producing high-tier building materials.
Damage Resistances
The Beelzebufo has a +120% weakness to Instant HurtDinos damage, making it vulnerable to certain creature attacks. It takes -100% damage from Mining Drill Harvest, rendering it immune. Explosion Demolition deals +50% damage, so avoid artillery. Level Health and Melee Damage to compensate.
