Gathering Abilities
While ridden, the Skeletal Trike gathers from multiple categories including Berries, Fiber, Mushrooms, Rare Flower, Sap, Seeds, and Wood. Its primary attack harvests at 10× efficiency on resources like Mejoberry, Narcoberry, Stimberry, Rare Flower, and Wood. It also gathers Cactus Sap and Fiber at 8× efficiency. This makes it one of the fastest plant gatherers in the game.

The Skeletal Trike has a +120% weakness to Instant HurtDinos, making it extremely vulnerable to certain dino attacks. It takes -60% damage from fire-based attacks, making it highly resistant to flame. Explosion Demolition and Melee DmgMetal RaidDino also exploit its weaknesses.
