Wild and Subspecies

“Hiding within the barren scrublands of the Ark, Velociraptor locaaridaus is a small predator around the size of a turkey that hunts and preys on Jerboa, insects, reptiles, ovaraptorians, other theropods and small ceratopsians. Unlike the Utahraptor that most tribes are familiar with, this smaller dromaeosaurid hunts solitarily at night. This nocturnal behaviour allows the Velociraptor to ambush prey, without the adaptation of pack hunting. V. locaaridaus is also known for its aggressive instinct to target the throat of larger animals, and using its toe claw to slice through and disembowel prey. Remains of hadrosaur carcasses show that these raptors target the jugular vein, windpipe and carotid artery in the neck, this would result in major internal bleeding. Making this species a force to be reckoned with, and a must to avoid when traversing through arid environments”.

 

 

 Domesticated

“When taming or domesticating this theropod, be precise and pay attention to the dromaeosaurids movements and actions, in order to prevent yourself from being prey. Those who tame Velociraptor locaaridaus will have a vicious and lethal tame who will follow orders to hunt prey and protect its owner from anything that dares to challenge it.

 

 

 

Abilities

These are our suggestions for the abilities of the Velociraptor:

• The Velociraptor has an ability known as “Unscented” which is a 30 second (2.5 minute long charge) long buff similar to “hidden”, but instead prevents the inducing of status effects that affect movement speed and lowers the chance of a parasaur detecting a tribe mate or nearby survivors within a certain proximity. The ability also increases the durability of chitin and flak armour by 5% of chitin and ghillie armour by 10%. This means that if paired with a pachyrhinosaurus, a tribe would be able to avoid “agroing” larger animals, but also being able to prevent the induction of certain debuffs.

• The velociraptor can jump onto enemy players or smaller to medium animals and lacerate around the throat, causing severe bleeding effects. This only applies to aerial animals that are on the ground, and terrestrial tames.

• A player can order the velociraptor to track down and follow opposing survivors, tames and wild animals through the use of a special whistle that can be used with a telescope that gives the raptor a target to follow or attack. The velociraptor can also be used to send information back to its owner on the location of its target. This ability demands that a tribe member has to enable the ability in the animal’s behaviour settings, and has to make sure that the velociraptor has full health and proper orders, or else it will retreat back to its owner if attacked on track, or engage in serious combat if set to aggressive.

• At night, V. locaaridaus has a nocturnal boost towards melee damage and health by 10%.

 

 

 Taming Method

See unlike any other dromeasur, in order to tame the Velociraptor. A survivor will have to encounter a Velociraptor at night, and will have to keep their eyes on the creature to prevent it from ambushing you, and to increase taming effectiveness, but while preventing the dromaeosaurid from attacking you. See a survivor must equip a ghillie suit, then locate and sneak up to a Velociraptor, feed it kibble or raw mutton then slowly back up away from the animal while keeping your eyes on it. Similar to a Shadowmane, except the animal will follow that tribe member even if they are out of its proximity and not paying attention or distracted. This results in the dromaeosaur becoming hostile and opportunist in behaviour. Well a survivor should wait 1-2 minutes (depending on the level) for the animal to be passively fed once, again and so fourth. An alternative method would be using a pachyrhinosaurus to prevent the Velociraptor from aggroing onto a survivor, and allowing a player to simply wander up to the raptor and feed it it’s favourite kibble or meat.
