(original dossier art and description by: unknown)
(NOTE: The species in the dossier is Palaeoloxodon cantusamanus, but I'm using it as a basis for Palaeoloxodon namadicus, due to the fact there are several large identified species of the said genus.)
(Dossier art description, with contraries of what I will add to it below it)
Common name: Palaeoloxodon
Species: Palaeoloxodon cantusamanus* ("namadicus" for submission)
Time: Pleistocene
Diet: Herbivore
Temperment: Territorial
Wild: The largest mammal on the island by far, I find it fascinating that Palaeoloxodon cantusamanus (namadiscus) has eluded me for so long. Though essentially an oversized elephant, the padding in its feer keeps it silent as it navigates its jungle home - until angered.
Content to live a solitary lifestyle, these pachyderms will charge if approached. Fortunately, some survivors have found that music soothes these savage beasts - music from and instrument will literally have Palaeoloxodon eating out of your hands!
Domesticated: Because of its aggressive tendencies, Palaeoloxodon is a poor gatherer, and mounting a platform saddle on one is difficult. Some tribes instead fit their mount with a saddle equiped with wardrums - playing music as they ride into battle!
In a fight, Palaeoloxodon packs a wallop, especially when inspired by the music of its rider. Music pushes it to take more punishment, attack faster, and charge right though enemies!
My additions to the creature
In addition to its wild behavior and taming method through music as in the original artist's dossier, my idea for Palaeoloxodon namadicus is it being a walking fortress like any platform saddle dino. BUT, unlike the platform saddles, this thing's one and only saddle is a pre-built fortress akin to the elephants from lord of the rings.
The mammoth already has a saddle with war drums on it via the TLC 3 update a couple years ago. So, how about using it to your advantage to tame this creature as in the dossier?
Palaeoloxodon namadicus is thought to be the largest known terrestrial mammal to have ever walked the earth, from the Indian subcontinent of the mid to late Pleistocene. It is also estimated to be the largest species of the genus that is composed of a few other large species, as well as plenty of dwarf-sized species.
