This great beast can be found roaming the dry sandy plains of the ark in groups of four or five, they graze the ground looking for any bit of plant life they can find in the hot sun.
They chew whatever small moisture they find in the plants that go towards their strength and energy; however, this animal has adapted to the extreme heat and are able to cool themselves off easily by sucking up ground water from water veins. Theses animals are easily disturbed and if gotten to close can become aggressive towards who or what ever comes near one of them causing them to attack with out notice.
Taming:
To tame yourself Stegomastodon you’ll have to find a group and pick the one you’ll want to tame, they are easily spooked and if gotten to close will attack with out warning. That’s why wearing something to sneak up is the best strategy as it will increase the chance you wont get spotted, once close enough you grapple hook yourself onto its body and at that time it will start running away, this is then when you must pull yourself on to its back, once there you’ve got to shoot as many tranquilizing arrows/dart as you can to get it knocked out. Note that this may take a few attempts as you will be kicked off once or twice once on its back and you’ll have to grapple back onto it to finish the job. Once down this animal is a fussy eater and will only prefer the best sort of food, it has been said that it will eat vegetables or better as its preferred food once knocked out.
Domesticated:
Now that you have your self a Stegomastodon what can you do with it. Its saddle holds seats for two so you and your ally can travers the hot dry desert together. This animal is very tanky and when face to face with attackers it can stand its own dealing heavy blows to what ever is in its way leaving nothing alive that tries to attack it. What’s unique about this animal is its strength, in harsh windy sandstorms it can travers them with ease and loses stamina less than other animals however once this animal runs out of stamina in a sandstorm it can regenerate it back in a short amount of time letting it wonder through it more.
Another thing that comes in handy when on the back of the Stegomastodon is that if your suffering from heat stroke your Stegomastodon can suck up water from a nearby pool of water or water vein and splash it over you keeping you hydrated and refreshed taking away your heat stoke for as long as your hydrate lasts. This also works for extreme heat when traveling the desert, if you have been splashed with water by your Stegomastodon you’ll stop over heating and have a cooler time through an extreme heat.
Attacks:
The Stegomastodon does a devastating stomp attack flatting anything in front of it.
Its other attack is a charging stampede like the triceratops, if charged the Stegomastodon will run at full speed for as long as it has stamina, dealing damage to anything getting in its way, it will destroy trees rocks and dry plants when in a stampede, the only thing to stop It in its way is another big animal or a rocky cliff side.
One of the more deadly attacks of the Stegomastodon is that it can dig up from the ground a boulder and rest it in the middle of its tusks, the Stegomastodon can then throw the boulder at what ever stands in its way or whatever is far, launching the boulder like a catapult. survivors also use this to their advantage by covering the boulder in oil and setting it ablaze, there for launching a ball of fire to whoever is unlucky enough to get hit by it.
The Stegomastodon also has another ability that survivors also use while traveling the outskirts of the desert, if they are ambushed by the deadly wyverns of the desert ark, then Stegomastodon can admit a loud unfriendly roar that is deep and terrifying to any creatures that hear it, this happens to be so strong that even wyverns fear it and fly off when met with the roar. But the Stegomastodon must let its throat settle before doing it again. That being said if there is a herd of Stegomastodon by your side and one of them does a roar the others will follow suit and do the same making an even devastating roar and because of it allowing them to recover their voice to do it once more, making them a true animal to traverse the desert ark.

That I have edited.
No of course some of things may be changed by the developers which is fine. The main features are there for the pick.
Another thing is the saddle is a concept, so I don’t expect it to be made looking that way as its just a rough sketch.
