The Mononykus is a very small theropod that spends its time hunting insects and small animals, and collecting shiny objects to ornament their burrows and nests. The name of this dinosaur, which means simply "one claw", eludes to their limitations of abilities, although they are still experts at foraging through termite mounds, as well as climbing trees to evade potential predators. Due to its small frame, it can outrun most creatures on the Ark's, and while carrying any goodies that it snagged in the process with ease. Due to the Mononykus being easily spooked, it will tend to steer clear of anything creature or human larger than itself, although it cannot resist any shiny metals or gemstones.
Domesticated:
A unique ability of the Mononykus is its uncanny sense of direction towards valuables, including crystals, obsidian, and other gemstones. Once tamed, this nimble creature will be able to sit on your shoulder and sniff out any and every precious and shiny material nearby, sometimes even digging up materials straight from the ground. Its sense of smell is so attuned, it can tell the valuables within crate and supply drops, (including other players boxes). While the Mononykus will shy away from any unnecessary encounter in the wild, once tamed it will try its best to aid you with a bite from its small, sharp teeth and slashes from its two claws. It has been found that the Mononykus possesses an unexpected ability to carry heavy loads, and even being stronger at carrying valuables.
Taming:
To tame the Mononykus, you will need to first find one and slowly crouch or crawl up to it, as walking or running will spook it if you are too close. Once you are within range of it, drop any shiny or valuable object for it to inspect, the shinier the better. Once approved, it will take the item into its inventory and continue on until distracted by another shiny object. If the Mononykus becomes scared during the taming process, it will run away to a burrow until the threat is negated, then it will exit from the burrow and will be allowed to be tamed again. Luckily, once tamed, the Mononykus will return your shiny objects back to you, as well as a hefty reward from its unknown stash (which could include a high level item/blueprint).
Abilities:
Simple Bite: A bite attack that deals a moderate amount of damage.
Claw Swipe: Occasionally it will lash out with its two claws, dealing a relatively large amount of damage for its size.
Valuable Detection: Mononykus can detect valuables either from the shoulder mount or on the ground, and will lead you via audio and visual cues towards their locations, and once you have the Mononykus for a long enough time, you will be able to distinguish the meanings of its multitude of calls as a language for what valuable is ahead.
Digging for Gold: The Mononykus will sometimes dig up sections of the ground in search of precious materials, and will almost certainly find some valuable materials, such as metal, crystals, obsidian, and other gemstones.
Weight Reduction: This small creature has a hidden knack for being able to hold certain heavy materials with ease, as long as it likes the shininess of the object.
