Diet — what Shantungosaurus eats

Strengths & Weaknesses
- + High health (5,200 HP — top-tier durability)
- − Slow (31 km/h — can be run down)
Best Mutations for Shantungosaurus
You pick one mutation at each of three lifecycle stages — Juvenile, Sub-Adult and Adult — from a pool gated by your diet (a 4th slot unlocks as a Prime Elder; bred offspring can reach 6). These are the strongest picks for Shantungosaurus's role:
- 1
Cellular Regeneration — +15% HP recovery
Faster passive healing means you recover between fights instead of bleeding out — the single best all-round pick.
- 2
Truculency — +5% chance to buck off latched/pinning attackers
Improves your buck-off chance — critical for shaking raptors and pinning carnivores before they stack bleed.
- 3
Hypervigilance — +50% camera angle while eating (spot ambushers)
Wider camera while grazing lets you spot an ambush before it lands the first bite.
- 4
Epidermal Fibrosis — +15% bleed resistance
Bleed resistance keeps a tank like this alive against bleed-stackers (Allosaurus, raptors).
- 5
Osteosclerosis — −20% fracture damage
Reduces fracture damage — important against Pachycephalosaurus charges and Stegosaurus tail hits.
