First discovered and classified in 2017, but named in February of 2022. The new genus of pterosaur named Dearc sgiathanach, is a large species of Rhamphorhynchid pterosaur that lived on the islands or the landmass of present day Scotland, during the Mid Jurassic. With this new discovery, my team thought that introducing another "newish" prehistoric species (alongside the Sinomacrops) would introduce the Ark Community to a new creature and species of pterosaur, that was recently discovered, named and classified.

“Being the largest subspecies of Rhamphorhynchus pterosaur from the Middle Jurassic of Europe, Dearc denairc is a large aerial piscivorous predator that feeds on cephalopods and fish and is the largest Jurassic flying reptile found on the Ark. D. denairc has a wingspan of 3 metres or 9.8 ft, a size that is unlike anything present in other pterosauria of its time such as Dimorphodon. This size could be due to the abundance of prey in its habitat, low amounts of ecological competition and/or the adapted niche that it filled on the coasts of Jurassic Scotland. Like most of its relatives, Dearc has specialised elongated teeth designed similar to that of a needle, an adaptation common amongst Rhamphorhynchoid pterosaurs designed to pierce through the flesh of its prey and help snare or trap larger fish, ammonites or squid, preventing them from escaping. Dearc also has evolved peg-shaped teeth at the back of its jaws designed in holding food in place, and also have a secondary use of impaling and tearing through the chitin or scally flesh of Aquatic vertebrates and invertebrates. The subspecies also has large reinforced, neck muscles present in the pterosaurs neck, this is due to the species unique adaptation in skimming across the water’s surface and in dive-bombing. Characteristics that make it a superior ruler of the seas, from the skies above.
Domesticated
“It’s unknown if the pterosaur can be saddled or domesticated, however. It would make a perfect tame in fishing, trapping and the snaring of aquatic mollusks, arthropods and vertebrates from the water below. The species could also be used for its ability to dive underwater and in skimming the water’s surface for prey. Making it an important tame in collecting resources and materials from the seas, oceans, rivers and skies of the Ark”.
Abilities
The Dearc has a 75% chance of activating the ability known as “Skewered!”, when in combat. This ability activates when the Dearc attacks an enemy, and its its teeth end up stuck in either an opposing player or tame's flesh, causing extreme bleeding, the injury effect and (a 25%) impaled effect. The ability lasts for 30 seconds, until either the Dearc is knocked off (causes a 50% of an impaled effect), it flies away, or when the Dearc is killed. This ability can be further enhanced, through increasing the attack damage of the Dearc. Increasing the amount of damage that is implied onto any enemies or threats that oppose the Dearc.
The Dearc has a secondary ability known as “Aquatic Detection”, an ability that allows the player to guide there tamed Dearc (similar to that of a Scout from Extinction or an Exo-Mek in Genesis Part 2) towards a body of water, this will result in the Dearc giving off the location of any aquatic creatures in its proximity. This is due to the species relying heavily on its large eyes and eyesight, that were suited for locating fish and cephalopods, from the skies above. The Dearc also recieves a nocturnal boost at night, which increases its movement speed, attack damage and the radius of its ability "Aquatic Detection" by 10%. This is due to the speculated hunting behaviour of rhamphorhynchoidea pterosaurs such as Rhamphorhynchus.
The Dearc has a collection rate of 60%, 70% or 80% (depending on its level) towards Chitin, Fish Meat, Keratin, Bio Toxin, Oil, and Hide with a 75% weight reduction.
The Dearc has a 20% applied debuff that reduces the amount of energy it uses when in flight and/or when propelling through the water.
