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.

Its melee attack harvests these resources at a 10× multiplier, making it extremely efficient.

It also gathers Cactus Sap and Fiber at 8× efficiency.

The Skeletal Jerboa takes +120% more damage from Instant HurtDinos sources, making it highly vulnerable. It also suffers +55% more damage from Melee DmgMetal RaidDino attacks. Spike walls are half as effective due to a -50% resistance. Explosions deal 40% less damage.
