⚡ What Frilled Reptile does
Every 14 minutes 6 seconds at base weight, the Dilophosaurus spits venom that spreads to 3 other random pets. Each one either has its ability cooldown advanced by 40 seconds or gains 500 XP. The text doesn't say how that's decided.
The wiki recorded a bug in update 1.14.0: with no other pets to hit, it could keep playing its spit animation even after you equipped more.
