Archaeoceratops Falliciter - the trike mimic and destroyer of pegomastax!

Suggestion

Archaeoceratops Falliciter

 

This skittish little herbivore spends its days foraging for silk to make its nest. It posesses a variety of astonishing abilities, and able to deal with creatures much larger than itself. It is often mistaken for a baby ceratopsian, and at its call triceratops, morellatops and pachrhinosaurus rush to defend it. This call can buff tamed pachyrhinos, morellatops and trikes and make wild ceratopsians defend you. It is more efficient than any tool at harvesting silk, making this vital desert resource easier to obtain before heat kills new survivors. It also scares off attacking herbivores with a scream and flash of its frill. Additionally it is a cute shoulder pet.

It has other abilities not in the dossier. It can force ichthyornis and pegomastax to disgorge stolen food and weapons using its scream. The scream also causes microraptors and compys to flee. Its silken nests (craftable in its inventory) are great at insulating eggs! Perfect for raising wyverns.

So how do you tame one? Well, it prefers crops, then mejoberries, then berries like any herbivore, but appreciates silk most of all. It is a passive tame, but will call for help if you get too close.

What makes this good for scorched earth? SE is fraught with dangerous creatures, so having something that can call for backup is the difference between life and death. Early game, silk is somewhat hard to get, despite how important it is for staying cool. Also, placing a crap ton of torches or AC units looks unappealing, so a compact nest does the trick instead and has better aesthetic taste.

Real life comparison: Archaeoceratops in real life was known as Archaeoceratops Oshimai, but Falliciter (trickster) better represented what it would do in game. It was discovered on the silk road expedition and thus its silk-related abilities. See the relevant wikipedia page for info concerning the real life creature: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archaeoceratops

Regarding the buff, triceratops, morellatops, and pachyrhinosaurus will have their damage doubled, their speed and damage resistance increased by 50%, and a 10% increase in oxygen. The damage resistance does stack on top of the triceratops carnvivore buff.
