Administrator Jatheish Posted June 9, 2016 Administrator Share Posted June 9, 2016 Common Name: Tapejara Species: Tapejara Imperator Time: Cretaceous Diet: Carnivorous Temperament: Skittish Wild Tapejara Imperator is a marvel to watch in the wild. It has astonishing agility compared to the Island’s other flyers thanks in large part to the rudder-like fin that extends from its snout to the back of its skull. Initially, I’d thought the fin was simply composed of keratin, but closer inspection has led me to believe that it is actually some kind of sensory organ. Not only, does it decrease Japejara’s turning radius even at high speeds, but it apparently provides Tapejara with extra information to help it fly through the air with unparalleled grace. I've even seen Tapejara hover and strafe side-to-side in the air without moving forward at all. It’s quite remarkable. The creature also makes effective use of razor-sharp claws to catch onto surfaces such as the trunks of tall trees, holding its position indefinitely. Domesticated Warlike tribes appear to consider Tapejara the equivalent of a versatile rotor aircraft, capable of rapid positional changes and aggressive agility. When domesticated the Tapejara is typically outfitted with a unique dual-rider saddle, enabling a passenger to wield handheld weaponry while the pilot takes the reins. And when the Tapejara is latched onto a surface, both the passenger and pilot are able to make full use of their weapons together. Evidently what this skittering creature lacks in distance-stamina, constitution, and weight carrying capacity, it makes up for in maneuverability and combat versatility.

WesenZoo Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 I'm guessing the dossier is supposed to say Tapejara Imperator instead of Pelagornis Imperator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omegez Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 We needed this so badly, now if only Livyatan could be a dossier so we can have a proper giant whale that would be amazing Great work as always! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnePotatoChip Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Shame it isn't aggressive. These babies could've been the terrors of the sky, but oh well. Still very cool. Now all we need is some way for flying mounts to not be inherently better than ground mounts! \o/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfpack22 Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 I'm guessing because of the redwood tree in the dossier they'll probably be found in the redwood biome these will also be good for taming since they can hang on to vertical surfaces without using stamina you could just be out of reach of a Dino and get pure head shot for maximum topor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TedyBearOfDeath Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Yes this creature sounds really cool with its agility and maneuverability but I'm guessing this is going to be just like the diplo. No good for fighting just good for transporting soldiers... Makes it another useless dino for us pve players. The only positive thing I can think of is maybe now being able to attach above an agressive tame and shoot under you with your tranq darts or arrows solo. Although why would this be any better than just using your current flying mount to lure the tame to a cliff or rock? I'll add one more positive note saying maybe it could be used as a flying taxi but still I want something that can fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Im7oxic Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Lots of people been wanting this one big time! Awesome job guys! i hope to see an airial mount that isn't afraid of the first 30 feet of water, add some complexity to flight around water Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"no good for fighting, just good for transporting soldiers" to a degree yes, in fighting it isn't a good creature for attack, but the ability for both riders too shoot from the saddle gives it makes up it. Though on the note of the useless in PVE I agree. War dino's are useless on PVE, except for transport and taming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaEndGame Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Though on a PVP point of view, this dinosaur is an excellent edition. Now idiots that use argent's to carry other players for aerial taming can't drop the person shooting. Who I personally am a victum of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnvaluedMammal Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 i do like the idea of this creature. but in all honesty it will just add on to the trolling problem, with this they can just sit in the air with a basic rifle and shoot all our animals without even trying. while i like his creature i'm afraid this will do more harm than good.

rororoxor Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 now what we need is a flying torpor mount. Im tired of taking down quetzals with scorpions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rororoxor Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 dunno why people care about the "imperator" part. That was the actual species name for this dino. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
