Dracovenator is my submission this time, I feel it fits a niche which not many creatures would excel at. I wanted to add a Flak saddle with a mounted flame thrower which represents it's name better, Dragon Hunter!
Here's my take on it, I'm not very good at drawing but an Amazonian Poison Dart frog design would be awesome on it, it also fits the theme that's it a toxic dinosaur.
What is Dracovenator?
Dracovenator is an extinct species of Dilophosauridae, it lived during the Jurassic period and it was roughly 5.5-6.5m tall, around the size of a Velonasaur. It was more than likely a carnivore due to its heritage. Dracovenator's name means Dragon Hunter, isn't that cool!
Dracovenator Dossier
Wild:
Larger and faster than the native Dilophosaurus, Dracovenator Toxicus is Ark's most fascinating resident. Whenever Dracovenator is on the hunt, its victims fall unconscious before they are even killed. While it seems they are aggressive, I noticed them feeding on bushes, a weird behaviour but perhaps there is meaning to it.
Tamed:
An asset to any survivor's tribe, once tamed Dracovenator can be fed a variety of narcotics to boosts its venom's capabilities, I even witnessed one survivor knocking out a Rex with it! However feeding higher yields of narcotics seems to have effects on its melee attacks which seem problematic at first glance but it doesn't take away its amazing utility.
Behaviour
Dracovenator is fairly aggressive, but seems to relax once it goes through a few berry bushes. However it is still best not to approach as they have violent tendencies.
Appearance
Dracovenator is around the size of a Velonasaur but with an appearance similar to Dilophosaurus, just without the frill. It has varied osteoderms cover its body with its delightful crest.
Taming
Dracovenator is a passive tame and must be approached with caution when trying to tame, it is best advised to where a ghilli suit whilst consuming a Cactus Broth. Clear any agro targets in the vicinity, then throw tamed creatures with narcotics, Narcoberries or Bio Toxin in their inventory, let Dracovenator kill that tamed creature and the items will transfer to Dracovenator, it will gain taming effectiveness based on what items you put in it, after Dracovenator is at 100% go up to it and start feeding it Regular Kibble, mutton etc, each type of taming food will depend on how much taming effectiveness it loses. It is best advised to use Dodo's as they are an easy tame.
Combat
Keep the high ground or be knocked out, have lots of stimulants on you, you'll need them. You can use bear traps to stop them or throw any narcotics on the ground (this does not work for the tamed version).
Attacks
Primary: Just a regular bite attack, with a fairly decent speed.
Secondary: Spit attack, crosshairs are present on your screen whenever you ride this creature. Gains different effects based on consumables.
Tertiary: You must have Nameless Venom present to activate the noxious gas attack.
Utilities - PvE
Versatile Taming Assistant: Placing Biotoxin or Narcotics in Dracovenator's inventory allows you to deal torpor to creatures and players, placing narcotics in its inventory will make it stronger than a Longneck but putting Biotoxin in its inventory will allow it to be stronger than a Tek Bow.
Travel Mount: Dracovenator is an extremely agile creature being able to jump and run far distances without getting tired out, it can also hold a fairly decent amount of weight, making it a fairly reliable travel mount.
Boss Fighter: Whilst not being used for its spit attack Dracovenator is a fairly reliable boss dino due to its maneuverability and damage output.
Abilities - PvP
Turret: Putting Dracovenator in its turret mode allows it to use it's basic spit which slows down tames/survivors whilst also debuffing their armour.
Cave Defender: Putting Nameless Venom in Dracovenator's inventory allows it to use it's tertiary attack where it lets out an AoE cloud of gas which knocks out any survivor's in the vicinity.
Base Destroyer: Putting Wyvern Milk in Dracovenator's inventory allows you to temporarily damage Tek and Metal structures with it spit and bite.
Giga Counter: Due to its Flak saddle, Dracovenator is a reliable giga counter which can chunk away a gigas hp without getting too close to it!
Soaker Counter: Due to its Flak saddle and armour debuffing spit, Dracovenator can help deal with soakers whilst providing support to your tribe.
Passive Abilities
Harvester: Dracovenator harvests Narcoberries and Bio Toxin at an increased rate, and will also cause Nameless to drop Nameless Venom more frequently.
Fridge: Whilst Bio Toxin or Nameless Venom are in its inventory, it will increase the spoil times making Dracovenator a reliable companion when raising Rock Drakes!
Torpor Immunity: Naturally since Dracovenator feasts on so much torpor inducing items, it is naturally immune to the stings of Jellyfish and survivors who try to knock it out.
Saddle
Dracovenator has 2 saddles, a normal hide saddle or a flak saddle providing a mounted flame thrower but this disables it's ability to use its spit attack.
Note it will not consume Nameless Venom unless you press it's tertiary attack.
