As a carnivore, it responds to knockout taming - favoring Exceptional Kibble - and ships with 77,600 base Health - an absolute bullet sponge. It reproduces by laying fertilized eggs that incubate between 43°C and 44°C, with babies maturing over an extremely long period, one of the longest in the game.
