Often found roaming the forests of the island and standing taller than the Diplo but smaller than the Bronto Shunosaurus is one herbivore you don't want to mess with. unlike most Sauropod dinosaurs the shunosaurus has a very short neck in comparison to most of it's relatives only being about as tall as a Rex it's also highly terrotorial and will attack nearly any creature that approaches the herd using it's special Tail Club. the club is comprised of bone and is similar to the tail club of an ankylosaurus however unlike the ankylosaurus the tail of the shunosaurus is much more powerful able to shatter bones of creatures twice the size of it not only is it powerful but it is also incredibly dextrous as the shunosaurus is able to use it in a similar way to the trunk of a mammoth able to pick up and throw objects. they also have probably the most complex social structure of any creature on the island with them showing incredible empathy to other weaker members of the herd and giving them priority also going out of their way to defend any member of the herd that is attacked it reminds me a lot of the social structure of Elephants in fact.
Domesticated
The shunosaurus is incredibly loyal to it's herd and will only submit to a survivor if they somehow manage to gain it's loyalty by protecting it or it's herd from attack I myself saved a group of Shunosaurus from a pack of Allosaurs and they quickly warmed up to me. Once tamed the shunosaurus makes an incredibly versatile mount Able to use it's large club tail to deal severe damage to opponents even able to inflict severe bone breaks on them causing them to be drastically slowed I even saw a tamed Shunosaurus break the leg of a Giganotosaurus before. the tail club is also excellent at farming resources similar to the ankylosaurus able to shatter stone, metal and Obsidian with ease. the shunosaurus also like it's cousins the Brontosaurus and Titanosaurus can use a platform saddle however this one comes with a forge built in to smelt any collected metal all of this often causes debates between what's better the Ankylosaurs or Shunosaurus as some prefer the smaller size and ease of transport of the Ankylosaurus while some prefer the conviniance and better defence of the shunosaurus
Abilities
Tail whip attack the attack has massive range due to the long tail of the Shunosaurus and has a chance to inflict a new status effect
Tail spin attack similar to the charc but with far more range and higher damage can also stun enemies but it has a cooldown and uses up a lot of stamina
Can cause a new status effect broken bones this causes the effected creature to be briefly stunned and then move incredibly slowly for a short period
Can grab and throw creatures using it's tail by wrapping it around them similar to how the mammoth can pick up creatures with it's trunk largest creatures it can pick up are Carnos and Chalicos
Can collect resources with it's tail whip attack like the anky
has a new buff similar to the pack buffs of the direwolves and allos this will be called the herd buff and causes the damage resistance of the Shunosauruses to increase and gives them a damage buff and movement speed increase
has a Platform saddle but this one comes with a Forge built in so any metal collected can instantly be smelted
Can damage stone structures with it's tail attack
Taming Method
in order to tame it you have to gain it's respect by saving it or a juvenile member of it's group from attack this will cause the Shunosaurus to become passive to you and allow you to ride it once on the shunosaurus you have to go and collect berries for it with each berry contributing to it's taming
Final notes
The shunosaurus would not end up as a replacement for the Ankylo as while it can collect the same resources, smelt them instantly and defend itself unlike the anky It is far too large to be picked up by a quetzel or wyvern and it's movement speed is lacking so the Anky and quetz combo would still be the optimal choice in a lot of senarios
the Shunosaurus would be around the size of a rex or spino larger than it's smaller relatives like the Amargasaurus and Diplo but smaller than the Bronto and titanosaurus
Shunosaurus would have juvanile members of it's herd similar to the dinopithicus and Kiraku
