Diabloceratops Eatoni, The soup kitchen


DarthRaptorJesus

Suggestion

Diabloceratops is adapted to the desert in a way that benefits almost everyone. It had adapted to be able to sort through cacti and bushes to gather specific plants. It can specify which type of plants it prefers, ranging from large quantities of narcoberries and cactus sap to high strength fibers and polymers. which it can convert into various stews in its kitchen saddle. It can cook various brews and stews on the go, and a few unique concoctions, including healing salve that boosts the passive regeneration of other creatures.

Dossier

Common Name: Dibble

Scientific Name: Diabloceratops Eatoni

Time Period: Cretaceous

Temperament: Aggressive

Wild

In the wild, Diabloceratops gather in groups of moderate size, making them a serious threat to anything on scorched earth. However, they have developed a unique relationship with small creatures, where they help feed by sifting for roots. They often leave behind piles of wood and insects in their wake, allowing creatures like archaeopteryx to feed of overturned insects. They will attack other creatures that approach without hesitation, but will lower its guard when sifting roots.

Taming

Taming Diabloceratops is certainly worth the effort, if you can seperate them from their group. When they sift the soil and sands for roots, Quickly running up to one while it forages will increase its interest in you, and if you peak its interest, it may follow you home. However, if you are too slow to feed it, it may decide to ruin your day. Its been well documented by survivors of cases where Diabloceratops follows them home before relentlessly attacking everything in sight.

Domesticated

Many tribes use Diabloceratops as an alternative to industrial cookers, as it can brew and stew large quantities of healing salve, stews, and enhanced narcotics. Some tribes are known to strap large kettles to the back of their Diabloceratops, using it to boost their other tames regen and, resistance, or other effects. By feeding other creatures with these soup pots, they successfully boost their efforts for boss fights, wars, or just general survival in various desert storms. The applications for this go as far as any soup you can brew, and you can apply the effects of them to other tames and allied survivors. It even works with items such as wyvern milk.

They can also brew a specialized healing salve from honey, citrus, and sulfur, which boosts natural regeneration for anything that consumes it. Survivors have used this to help unconscious tames on critically low health heal particularly fast, especially considering that it can be boosted with Daeodon's healing to quickly heal large groups of tames after encounters with broodmothers or a prolounged tribe war.

Here is my take on Diablo: 

Common name: Diabloceratops
Species: Diabloceratops Prorsus
Time: Late Cretaceous
Diet: Herbivore
Temperament: Territorial

WILD:
In an area full of deadly predators, Diabloceratops Prorsus had to adapt to defend itself. These solitary Ceratopsids are quite agressive towards interlopers, delivering devastating charges. If you try to attack it from behind, it won't work, unless you want to be pierced by many of its sharp quills on its tail. Smaller than its relative, the Triceratops, Diablos do not possess the herd mentality as Trikes, thus they preffer being alone. 

Even though they are quite agressive, they have a quite strange liking... They like salt. I've seen an individual traverse its arid habitat towards the mountains to feed on salt rocks that are normally hard to reach by other creatures. 

I wonder it it can be used to perhaps pacify them?

DOMESTICATED: 
Once finally tamed, Diabloceratops is a reliable beast of burden, being able to defend itself and its master from both front and back. They are also quite fast and energetic, being able to run quite a distance before getting tired. Fast, strong and with quite a temperament, these dinosaurs are a reliable defense for any base.

While being reckless it not its only trait, they are great mineral harvesters. They are exeptionally good at harvesting their favorite treat, that being Salt of course. I've seen some survivors using salt in its inventory to preserve foods while on their travels.

APPIRANCE: A bit smaller than Trikes, but a bit more robust. They possess a colorful display on their crests to intimidate potential predators. They are quite similar to their real life
                       counterparts, just a bit bigger, more robust and possesing bigger horns and quills sprounting all along its back and bigger ones on its tail witch it uses to attack
                       opponents from behind.

TAMING: A special kind of passive-tame:
                If you happen to aproach a wild Diablo with salt in your inventory, it will play an animation where it sniffs the air, indicating that they know you have it. Normally if you get 
                close to a wild Diablo, it will attack, but if you have salt in your inventory it will turn towards you with showing off an intimidating display. Once that happens, you need to 
                drop the salt onto the ground and back away. The Diablo will aproach the dropped salt and eat it, becoming temporarily passive. In that window you can feed it Superior
                Kibble. Repeat the Process until it is tamed.  Be careful to not feed it to much salt, because if you do, Diablo will go on a "Salt Rush". Similarly to Megatheriums with the 
                Insect Killer buff, Diablos will become extremely agressive towards you and other creatures around it, attacking them or you. 

ATTACKS AND ABILITIES: Primary attack (LC): Headbutt (swipes its horns dealing moderate damage while also harvesting minerals, trees and bushes) 
                                             Secondary attack (RC): Charge (similar to Trike's charge, ony it builds up a bit quicker and is faster than Trikes while charging)
                                             C key: Tail Swipe (swipes with its tail, dealing moderate damage witch pierces armor)
                                             LCtrl key: Cosmetic taunt

                                             "Salt Rush" buff: if you feed your Diablo too much salt (100 min.), it will go in a sort of an enraged state where it deals more damage (around a 15% boost)
                                                                          and is in general more energetic, consuming less stamina while performing attacks or running. They are also a tad bit faster. This buff 
                                                                          lasts for around 80 seconds, with a 120 second cooldown. 

UTILITY: Diabloceratops is a reliable creature for almost any job at hand. Whenever its harvesing for recourses, traversing the heated lands of Scorched Earth to battling other 
                tribes. They have a special saddle witch acts as a preserving bin. If combined with salt in its inventory, Diablo with a saddle can lengthen the spoil timer of any food item
                indefinitely.
