Lymantria
The Lymantria is also known as the desert moth and belongs to the family of invertebrates. When attacked, the moth sprays green spores that paralyze its attackers and reduce their stamina by 90%.
You can find the moth here: Scorched Earth, Extinction, Ragnarok, and Valguero.
Taming the Lymantria
It is best to use a lasso to prevent the moth from flying away. The Lymantria has rather low health points and can be quickly killed accidentally.
Here’s how to knock out the Lymantria: A standard bow and tranquilizer arrows are more than enough to knock the desert creature unconscious. Aim for its wings and belly. 7 to 20 arrows should suffice in the beginning. At high levels, you may need up to 60 arrows; shocking tranquilizer arrows for the shotgun are recommended, as this allows you to use only about 10.
This food is most effective for taming the Lymantria: The Lymantria prefers to eat regular Kibble. The moth is a vegetarian and also enjoys all kinds of vegetables and grains. Mejoberries can also be used to tame it.
Regular Kibble Recipe:
- 1 x Medium Egg
- 1 x Cooked Meat
- 2 x Corn
- 2 x Potatoes
- 5 x Fiber
- 1 x Water
On an official server, you need about 11 to 43 minutes for a level 1 Pelagornis. At level 150, taming can take between 75 minutes and 6 hours.
How to Craft the Saddle
To fly the successfully tamed Lymantria, you need a saddle. You can acquire the engram for this at level 36 for 12 points.
In your inventory, you can craft the saddle as follows:
- 130 x Leather
- 125 x Fiber
- 95 x Chitin
Utility of the Lymantria
The desert moth is not particularly fast or strong. It is especially suitable for beginner players to fly over dangerous areas, as it is quite simple to tame. The slowing spore attack from the Lymantria is practical for taming other creatures. The spores do not make neutral creatures aggressive. Unlike other flying dinosaurs, the Lymantria cannot lift other creatures.
In a clan, the Lymantria serves as a bomber. You can slow down enemy dinos and players from the air with the moth, allowing your clan members to take them down. For this, it is best to level health points and stamina.
