    Introducing Tropeognathus!

    Dossier_Tropeognathus.jpg

    Common Name: Tropeo
    Species: Tropeognathus mesembrinus
    Time: Cretaceous
    Diet: Piscivore
    Temperament: Neutral


    Wild
    Up close, Tropeognathus mesembrinus is easily recognized by the keeled crests on its snout, but with wingspans of up to twenty-seven feet, you’re sure to spot it before then. 

    These large wings are not only ideal for catching air currents over its ocean hunting grounds, but they also let Tropeognathus draft off of other flying creatures by flying behind them. While not the fastest flyer on the Isles, when combined with its remarkable stamina, this makes Tropeognathus well suited for long distance flight.

    Because it’s on the wing so much, Tropeognathus is best snared by those riding another flier. I've noticed the more clever tribespeople using chain bolas to capture them while airborne.

    Domesticated
    Once tamed, Tropeognathus has proven quite useful to the people of the Isles beyond mere transportation. For example, its toothed beak can grind down many common goods to their base components, which is a great way to recycle items and gear! Well, so long as you have a rag handy to wipe off the spit...

    That bite is punishing enough to crack armor and grind through it over time, and Tropeognathus can blow away flora and fauna alike with a gust from its wings. Air-to-air combat is where this creature really shines, though. And with the right tools, some survivors have managed to fit them with a saddle-mounted flak cannon and jet engine for maximum lethality. 

    Trust me, you haven't lived until you've ridden a jet-powered pterosaur into a dogfight. Saddle one up and see for yourself - you can be my wingman anytime!

    even if the dino gets nerfed to the ground, it will be able to grind stuff, so you don't have to make an expensive grinder. ??

    Dear WildCard employee who made the X-Dinos and now the Tropeo : you're good. You're real good. Ask for a raise.

    A wildcard employee didn't make the Tropeo. That was made by those modders who made Crystal Isles.

    But can it grind up all the crap we won doing missions on genesis  since wildcard decided it cant be ground up in the Inbd Grinder.  There are already caps on mats obtained using the grinder, this latest 'not grindable' crap is stupid

    Calling it now. This will be way too good for PvP combat and PvE players will suffer for it. It'll be nerfed into the ground, becoming another quite useless creature in the large catalog of creatures nobody bother using.

    Kinda like the quetzal? Griffin? Reaper?

     

    With how badly they ruined Griffins, they should have least made the damn things breedable. Their excuse at the time was they didn't want "fantasy" creatures to be bred. Well.... lol. The magmasaur, mana, bloodsucker, ferox, and like a dozen more creatures kinda throw a wrench in that

    Noa

    Bombastic advertising for something that will get nerfed and made useless like all other flyers, specially on PVE.

    Phew, I was kind of scared that the concept of dossiers would be scrapped post-Genesis. They are some of my favorite parts of ARK.

    While you are working with the grinder code may we have options to uncap materials return for grinding high-quality items? Possibly an option to grind Genesis rewards too.
