#2 Daspleto

#002: Daspleto.

Flavor Text: Daspleto's defense is incredibly high for a theropod vivosaur. Its defensive power and high HP make it a great choice for longer-lasting battles. Though it is small, its flipped form is strong enough to carry you on its back.

Fossilary Desc: An ancestor of Lythronax, T. Rex, and Tarbosaurus. Although smaller than all of its successors, it was still rather burly compared to the slightly taller Gorgosaurus, which it shared its habitat with. The two could coexist because they occupied separate niches.

Commentary: "Daspleto is a favorite among gem collectors and sellers thanks to its flipped form's constantly regrowing crystalline neck ruff. It appears to be born with the mask covering its face, but its mouth isn't fully connected to that of the mask's. Perhaps it's safest to let it be; Daspleto gets a little snappy if you try to take it off." -Dr. Diggins

Compatible with: -Gorgo or Gorgostroika -Any 2 earth types -Any vivosaurs listed under group 7 -Guan, Lythro, T-Rex, or Tarbo -Its contemporaries: Euoplo, Centro, Penta, Chasmo, Styraco, Coryth, Lambeo, Paraloph, Steceras, Orno, Einio, Pacro, Hesperis, Tro, and Maia.

Opportunistic is not just exclusive to Daspleto and Gorgo, a bunch of other vivosaurs have it in some capacity. In fact, I think I’ll edit T-Rex’s medallium entry to indicate that it has it as well. Opportunistic functions as a more unpredictable version of vivosaur compatibility, causing vivosaurs to behave strangely when paired with other vivosaurs. Daspleto and Gorgo’s condition is a more mild one, which can either double or nullify their negative support effects at the start of a battle. It effectively works as a coinflip, which is performed whenever you enter battle & lasts until the fight is over.
