X-Yutyrannus
Variant · 1 map
Overview
X-Yutyrannus is a rare carnivore variant of the Yutyrannus, distinguished by its biome-specific spawn and altered stats. It gains a 5% increase to Melee Damage but suffers a 3% reduction to Health compared to the standard species. This creature excels in combat roles due to its innate damage boost and ability to inspire allies with its Courage aura. It can be airlifted by Tusoteuthis for rapid deployment across snowy regions.

Taming requires knockout, using tranquilizing weapons such as the Bow with Tranq Arrows or the Longneck Rifle. The most effective food is Extraordinary Kibble, which tames it fastest. Raw Mutton also works nearly as well. It can be immobilized with a Chain Bola, Bear Trap, or Large Bear Trap. The process takes around 68 minutes. Use the calculator below for your settings.

X-Yutyrannus Tips & Tricks
The Fear & Courage Roar ability affects enemies within range, applying a 20-second debuff that reduces their effectiveness. Its passive Courage aura enhances nearby allies, increasing their combat resilience. The Leader of the Wild aura allows it to maintain up to 2 followers within 1000 units. It takes significantly more damage from spike walls, so avoid placing it near such defenses. When deployed, its high melee multiplier makes it effective in boss fights. It can be carried by Tusoteuthis, enabling mobile combat support.
