Lystrosaurus
Lystrosaurus will spawn at Grassland and Woodland.

The Lystrosaurus is a small, docile herbivore. Wild Lystrosaurus will only run away slowly even after being attacked. It is at the bottom of the food chain; however, people who have domesticated Lystrosaurus found out that it learns very quickly and can accumulate experience faster than other creatures. Not only that, it will also affect the surrounding creatures so that they get a exp rate boost.

Trait: After petting it, it will boost the exp gaining rates of other creatures within a certain range. The higher the level of the Lystrosaurus, the faster this rate boost will be. The effect lasts for 10 minutes, and the bonus effect provided by multiple Lystrosaurus cannot be stacked.
