Nekatus Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Name: Giant Bison Species: Bison longicornis Time: Pleistocene Diet: Herbivore Temperament: Territorial Wild: Traveling in massive herds for greater pastures, the largest bovine in existence is a sight to behold. With their massive pair of horns, they are known to be aggressive chargers and capable of goring any predator willing to challenge them including wolves and bears. Their large bodies capable of withstanding the harshest winters with their ever-growing pelts, making them durable enough to resist freezing to death. Taming: Extremely sought for their pelts, horns, and the rich bovine milk, taming a Bison isn't as easy at it looks. Many tribesmen attempt to bull-ride in hopes to tire them out and begin feeding them when they aren't wide awake. Beware getting bucked off, I've seen many tribesmen knocked out with that heavy bull kick to the face. Some get gored if unlucky enough. Domesticated: Once they are tamed, this of course unfortunately attracts every now and then random predators who want to raid your livestock and eat them all. The milk produced by the females gives any baby animal being raised a quite needed boost, potentially can be warmed up in an cooking pot for a special buff against the cold weather. With their hulking bodies, they offer extra warmth and can carry weight much like modern ox. Like modern cattle, their feces is much more potent fertilizer often referred to as "cow pie" that gives crops a boost of extra harvest. ARK Meta: Combat: Built in with a charge mechanic similar to Triceratops and the Woolly Rhinoceros, the Bison could impale its victims into their horns and gore them to bleed out, as well a herd buff to boost their strength with mate boost activated, dealing extreme damage. Crippling debuff inflicted on players and dinosaurs if it successfully charges. Utility: Another farm animal for the common PVE (or RP) players who would love a cow in ARK (like the ones in Atlas). Bison milk in turn could be cooked warmly to drink as an insulation buff against the cold, or fed to babies, especially baby Wyverns who require milk themselves. When Bison defecate, they drop a special feces called "cow pie" which is much better than other dinosaur feces, and more efficient, sometimes giving the crops a boost of extra harvest. With a unique cart or wagon saddle, depending on the type of saddle chosen affects how the player how much weight they can carry back and forth from point A to point B with more speed. The amount of Bison needed for the type of cart or wagon saddle affects not only speed, the weight and the mobility of the mini-wheeled base. Bison Milk - Like other bovines, Bison can be milked for their nutritional sweet baby food. If fed to warm blooded babies, the calcium would help them grow much faster than normal than any other food if given the proper care. Can be substituted for any food a baby might require care such as kibble. Bison Milk Cheese - A crafting recipe requiring Bison milk, a very delicious cheese with a very wild yet sweet taste. Who knows what else it could offer? Raids: Having a livestock of these Bison will eventually lead to many predators wanting to assault your base to eat your beef, much in the same manner as how the Corrupted attack Element Veins/OSDs or the Nameless harassing you if you don't have a charge pet. You will have to turn full on cowboy to keep them at bay every now and then.Credits for this post goes to TheIronWolf45 who posted this submission for Fjordur's creature submission Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volunteer Moderator Jerryn Posted January 14, 2023 Volunteer Moderator Share Posted January 14, 2023 I think a pack type ability is in order, but different from other pack boosts/abilities: the stampede. When you have a large group, a herd, and they being to move as one, they can perform a stampede. A stampede is an attack where the herd runs down/over the target, doing damage and keeping it off balance, so that it cannot attack effectively. This could be useful in PVE and PVP. The stampede would be proceeded by the thundering sound of hooves and the staking of the ground. The stampede could be expand for PVP, where it can cause structural damage; bigger the herd, the more damage and the wider the AOE. A large herd could trample thatch with ease, bust through wood structures with little issue, and even weaken stone, possible even metal, due to the ground shaking and impact.

Darkwolf98 Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 I feel like a small extra thing to add to this would be since it already has baby helping uses let it function as the nanny with helping do imprints for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magusnotre Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 how do we vote on this? there isnt a voting option? thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zealforlife Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 I really hope the bison gets voted in, the Carcha people got their Carcha! No please help us get our bison! We really would love to have a bovine. My suggestion for it is that they also follow each other as a group in the wild and can be herded over land and into a corral where you have to then keep one at a distance from the rest for a set time to tame, must also use the lasso from a horse right near the end of taming. You could make it so that if fencing etc is to closely surrounding the bison it will jump out or break or won’t tame to prevent cheating by enclosing it fully from its herd. You could also help pacify them by dropping carrots and potatoes which will help calm them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aR0y2810 Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Dude below me got ratioed, but anyway a good suggestion overall, a bit bloated if anything, I would consider taking the bleed away and just giving it a normal attack and a charge, it’s more than enough considering this is a utility creature mainly, also cart physics better be good or I gonna merder someone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleSpicyOreos Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 YESSSSS!!!!!! I voted for bison BOTH times before! 3rd times the charm?! I REALLY LOVE all the ideas for this animal! The milk, the CART (GIVE US CARTS!!!!!!!!), the stampede/herbivore battle animals!!! I want these sooooo bad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirafen Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Please let this be an actual thing in ark. This would be a fantastic addition, and for once not another carnivore that's added Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
droidcommander Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 I feel like having to fight against waves of predators just because I have a cow is maybe too big of a downside, for me atleast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
