Archelon

[GoddessWolf]

Archelon is a huge sea turtle. Since in real life sea turtles eat jellyfish, it could be immune to the Cnidaria. I also think it would be cool to let them on land since turtles do go on land to lay eggs. They could lay their eggs on land or in water for ark. The way to tame them I think should be passive tame. Either with kibble OR the bio toxins from their favorite food.

Yes because you could swim through the ocean without having to worry about those stupid jellyfish

Name: Archelon

Spécies: Archelon ischyrus

Time: Cretaceous

Diet: Carnivore

Temperament: Agressive

INTRODUCTION: Being the largest sea turtle in the world, becoming a new rival to the megalodon, plessiosaurus and mossaurus, whose name comes from the Greek for sovereign, thus being the “Sovereign Turtle” the Archelon will become a killing machine exterminating all in front of it, being possible found in the deepest areas of the seas, detailing that their dimensions will be different according to sex (The male may be larger than the females), The male will always be in the center of the ocean confronting his opponents, while the females may be on certain beaches taking care of their nests (it won't be so strange for players to find the females since they would be smaller than the males) ideally there will be only 1 to 2 beaches per map where the nests would spawn. Being its food source of crustaceans and fish

FEATURES: Its appearance would be almost identical to that of a common sea turtle with green and white colors, having its bone structure in the shape of a beak, but being of a possible size equal to a mossaur.

FOOD: Your food to be inserted in ARK SURVIVAL will be Meat

SPEED: Its speed will be equivalent and equal to the "ichthyosaurus" in the water to be balanced and there are chances for the player to flee, the Archelon will walk on land too but it will be much slower.

SKILLS:

1 Skill) -Aquatic Comet- It will be a heavy blow, where the Archelon will get a boost of speed and collide with the opponent causing greater damage, but it will spend more stamina being a blow identical to that of the pterosaur.

2 Skill) -Fatal Beak- It will be common blows, where Archelon will attack with its beak repeatedly causing opponents to bleed like a “thylacoleo” and will spend less stamina, but will be weaker.

3 Skill) -Bubble- When riding Archelon and activating the option (Create Bubble) in his inventory, he will create a Bubble with oxygen in his hood, thus leaving the player who is mounted and the others who are in his hood will not drown thus having a dinosaur willing to offer oxygen to the players, but after moving with it with the bubble it will spend its bar of (food) needing more food like a "Snow Owl"

CREATION: As was said in the introduction, the only way you can have an Archelon will be stealing eggs from their nests just like the “deinonychs” where per map there could be only one or two Spawn beaches with 1 to 3 nests with only one egg per nest, but there will be females in the region that will attack you after collecting the egg, after that just incubate it and create it to be yours.

CURIOSITIES: SELA=500 hides, 200 chitins, 200 irons and 400 fibers DROP=Cap (Trophy), Chitin, Leather and Noble Fish Meat

OPTIONS TO BE INSERTED ACCORDING TO THE COMMUNITY:

1-Allow to build platform and buildings in your shell

2-When breed to be stronger than a Mossasaur

Good idea! The ocean deserves more creatures.

I wish it was fantasy creatures because I had such a better idea

Archelon is an extinct marine turtle from the Late Cretaceous, and is the largest turtle ever to have been documented, with the biggest specimen measuring 4.6 m (15 ft) from head to tail and 2.2–3.2 t (2.4–3.5 short tons) in body mass. It is known only from the Dakota Pierre Shale and has one species.

In the wild

Archelon inhabits the shallower, muddy, oxygen-depleted seafloor of the Island and is commonly observed in small groups praying on Eurypterids, Trilobites( increased spawn rate in areas around Archelon) , Ammonates and even Cnidaria . Archelons are not aggressive towards survivors and will chose to flee when threatened despite possessing a rather powerful bite.

Although not the fastest swimmers, they are surprisingly agile, able to make short speed boosts and swim very efficiently over huge distances without tiring. Their agility and armour allows them to survive by eluding many of the larger predators in the sea.

Despite being aquatic and capable of staying under water over long periods of time, Archelon still needs to surface occasionally to replenish it’s oxygen.

 

Tamed

Harvesting

Once tamed, Archelon is used by survivors to hunt  Eurypterids, Trilobites, Ammonates and Cnidaria for precious resources as they are highly resistant to poisons and very well armoured.

Saddle (the main attraction)

Archelon’s large shell, stable swimming pattern and ability to quickly change direction make this creature a uniquely suited platform for some ingenious weaponry. The saddle incorporates two Harpoon launchers mounted at either side of the shell able to load a variety of harpoons (Normal, Toxin Harpoon, Explosive tipped). The saddle also incorporates breathing tanks for the rider and a fixed search light powered by AnglerGel (when available) for deep ocean exploration.

 

Note:

The creature’s design is centred around being a survivable mount used for under water taming of larger creatures and exploration more than combat.

That's okay
