Overview
The Lystrosaurus is a small herbivore used for gathering and support. It passively tames by feeding and reduces the weight of gathered resources in its inventory. This makes it ideal for farming rare flowers and berries in dangerous areas without needing knockout.
It can be airlifted by Argentavis, Desmodus, Griffin, Karkinos, Megalosaurus, Tropeognathus, Kaprosuchus, Procoptodon, Pteranodon, Quetzal, Tapejara, or Tusoteuthis for fast deployment.

More about taming the Lystrosaurus
Lystrosaurus is tamed passively by feeding it. The best food is Rare Flower, which provides the fastest taming. Mejoberry also works well due to its high affinity.
It takes about 2 minutes to tame using Rare Flower. Use the calculator below for your settings.
