Obsidian
Creature / Tool	Gain per action
Ankylosaurus	★★★★☆
Magmasaur	★★★★☆
Phoenix	★★★★☆

Mantis	★★★☆☆

Please note that the Doedicurus is not able to gather obsidian from all of the typically black glossy rocks. For instance, it can gather obsidian from the rocks in the caldera of the volcano on The Island map, but not from the rocks on the last part of the way up to the caldera. On The Center map it can't gather from the rocks on the shores of the lake under the floating island or in the mouth of Skull Island.
