Xuanhanosaurus, the voice changing predator


Seurat

Suggestion

I think this creature could bring a whole new system into both PVE and PVP, and it also looks cool in my opinion. I hope you will like it.

 

WILD:

These rather small, raptor looking creatures might not look like a big threat, when you first see them, but your opinion will probably change after your first encounter whit one. The xuanhanosaurus is the master of the hunt, and when the pack start to search for prey, even the largest and most dangerous creatures of the ARKs have to hide.The hunting strategy of these dinosaurs is truly fascinating. After a xuanhano chooses it's prey, it locks onto the target, and can follow it for miles if necessary, staying nearly invisible in the process. As the chase goes on, the hunter builds up its speed, and finishes the hunt with a huge jump, which is often the last thing what the prey see. You also won't be safe on a tree, because the long arms of the xuanhohanosaurus allow it to climb quite good. But maybe the most disturbing thing about this animal is, that it have a strange symbiothism with meganeuras and titanomyras. The insects will lead the dinosaurs to its chosen prey and somethimes even help fighting it, in exchange for some bites from the meat. If these things weren't enough, I recently found out that, like some of today's birds, these creatures can mimic voices. They use this ability to lead their prey to themselves, and I also heard a really frightening story from a lone survivor, who claimed that a xuanhano mimiced her whistles, and led all of her dinos away into the night.

 

TAMED:

There's one way to gain the trust of this predator, but if you don't succeed, you won't live long enough to tell the tale. The few, who are lucky enough to tame one of these beasts, will have a force in their hands, which others have to reckon with. You can use a pack of xuanhanosaurus to hunt down nearly any creatures on the ARKs, probably only with the exception of the giganotosaurus and the carchalodontosaurus. The dragonflies and ants will also help you if you won't let them notice you on the back of their ally. Some survivors even taught their xuanho to mimic the voice of some creatures, and even human whistles, making both tamed and wild dinos come to the sound.

 

OVERVIEW:

The xuanhanosaurus would be a carno-sized animal, with high meele, stamina, movement speed, and lower health. It would be capable of running on two or four legs, with somewhat same system to the iguanodon. You would be able to mark humans or dinos (both tamed and wild) and follow them in a "hunt mode". This would make the xuanhano become camouflaged, and constantly building up speed. It would also be capable of making huge jumps, when jumping from all fours. A tamed xuanho would be able to mimic the sound of wild dinos nearby, making them come to it, or whistles, making enemy dinos come to it. If you would use bug repellant when riding on it, meganeuras and titanomyras would come and help you in battles. 

 

TAMING:

To tame a xuanhanosaurus, you would have to approach a lonely one (they coud spawn both in packs or alone), with no weapons in your inventory, and let it bite you. When you are at a quarter health, it would become passive towards you, and it would let you heal yourself. Then you would have to lead it to the highest level creature in the area, and let it kill the creature (the bigger the crature, the faster the taming). Then you would have to repeat the process of hunting high levels, until it's tamed.

 

UTILITY:

These animals would be a good caving creature for larger caves, as they would be able to climb walls and they would be pretty powerful. They would also be a huge help in taming, since their voice mimicking ability would make leading dinos into traps way easier. They would also be helpful in leading wywerns and magmasaurs away from their nests. In PVP they would be an extra threat, as you would be able to track down players with them, and lead their tames away.
