Overview
The Therizinosaur is a large herbivore with a damage-focused role. It excels at gathering a wide range of resources while being carried by flyers. This makes it ideal for mobile resource farming in dangerous or elevated areas. It can be airlifted by Quetzal or Tusoteuthis for fast deployment.
Players typically tame it to harvest resources efficiently from the safety of an aerial mount.
