Wild: Ornimegalonyx is a giant terrestrial species of owl that lives in plains and deserts. Like most ground owls, they burrow underground and make dens, but unlike most, they hunt at night. Also unlike most burrowing owls, they seem to still have some control over their abnormally large wings that normal ground owls don’t have. Their feathers seem to fold against its body very well, allowing them to be very aerodynamic. This influences their hunting style, going to large heights, and sky diving at their prey.
The most interesting part of the owl is its stealthiness. The Ornimegalonyx doesn't even make a peep while hunting, even when jumping around with its strong legs. Ornimegalonyx seems to have a certain hunting style that not only make it faster and fierce, but make them completely silent, to the point where creatures with echolocation can't even hear them. They do, however, hate certain light producing objects.
Domesticated: Ornimegalonyx is an incredible stealth hunter that can very easily take out a target one after another. If that wasn’t good enough, I’ve seen survivors strap on jets onto the backs of these, allowing them to use their wings again. The fuel used for the jets, made from unique chemicals of the Ark, seem to combust very quietly. Funny enough, the jet's booster can accelerate loudly at fast speed and allow the owl to swoop at anything small enough it can grab.
Gameplay: Ornimegalonyx will be a tad bit bigger than a Terror Bird. It will spawn in the dunes or (in the plains on other maps) in packs of 2 to 3. They will attack medium sized creatures. They might surprise attack players by burrowing underground. They only spawn during the night, and during the day they will be underground.
Taming Information: Ornimegalonyx are a knockout tame that can only be tamed during the night. While their torpor does drain at a super fast rate,if there is an electrical storm, any Charge related source, or fire light, touches it, then their torpor will drain at a normal rate.
Creature abilities:
Passive:
During the night, the Ornimegalonyx is able to be ignored by all wild creatures.
Ornimegalonyx makes very little noise.
Has Stalker vision during the night.
First Ability, Slash
Ornimegalonyx will perform a basic claw slash or peck while running, and will do around the same amount of damage as the Terror Bird
Second Ability: Jump
Ornimegalonyx will do a leap similar to Ferox, being more horizontal than vertical
Third Ability: Float
Ornimegalonyx does a float like there Terror Bird, except descends a lot quicker.
Fourth Ability: Sky Dive
While in the air, the can land back on the ground, similar to a Managamr dive, except if a target is hit, the Ornimegalonyx will pin any small target to the ground, and will start scratching at it. Has 25% armor piercing. Uses a lot of stamina
Fifth Ability: Prowl
Will grant the Prowl Buff until toggled off or stamina runs out. Prowl will make the Ornimegalonyx completely silent, where Parsaurs and Desmodus can’t detect them. Damage and Speed also increase by 30%. While Prowl is activated, the Ornimegalonyx stamina will drain at a pretty fast rate. Will automatically deactivate if Charge is around.
Fifth Ability: Burrow
Ornimegalonxy burrows underground like a Basilisk, but moves at a much slower rate. If Jet saddle is equipped, Ornimegalonxy can shoot itself out of the ground. Will cause a lot of noise
Jet Saddled:
Allows Ornimegalonyx to fly, just being a bit slower than the Desmodus, but doesn’t have a good turning radius. Skydive happens much quicker.
Sixth Ability: Swoop
Ornimegalonyx will swoop down, and grab a smaller target and throw them forward a considerable distance. Will create a lot of noise
Seventh Ability: Sky Burrow:
While in the air, Ornimegalonyx will do a straight dive back into the ground, and burrow itself.
Other Information:
Immune to fall damage. Has normal breeding function with its breeding stats being similar to a Snow Owl. Has a Primitive saddle that is unlocked at level 56 that has armor value. The Jet saddle can be unlocked at level 68 with no armor value and can be crafted in a fabricator. A special fuel used for the jet saddle, called Augmented Gasoline, can be made in the Chemical Bench or Mortar and Pestle, made from gasoline, angler gel, and polymer. Can be hit with bola and net. Weapons can be used on this creature.
Gameplay Uses: Ornimegalonyx will be an excellent stealth creature, with its being able to take down one target at a time with anything noticing. Its skydive will be this creature's main attack, being able to dismount survivors and deal major damage to them. If that doesn’t work, then its prowl can be used to finish a target off. Not to mention its jet saddle, which not only gives it the ability to fly, but also buff it's already good skydive and another dismount that can quickly relocate an enemy survivor so that they will have no help. This creature can also be amazing at rocket runs, with its two attacks that greatly increase its speed, one of which makes it immune to Parasaur detection. It can escape and surprise players with its burrowing abilities. Another cool thing about this creature is that you have a choice how to play it, with one saddle offering armor, and the other offering no armor, but extra abilities. However, it does have counters, being very mediocre at killing other mounts, and its Prowl can be completely counter with a Charge source. In PVE, this creature is excellent to use for taming or going out in the wild, with creature deaggoeing really quick off of it.
Overall, this creature could be super fun to use in PVP, and would add a stealth creature to the game, something Ark doesn’t have a lot of.
I thought it would be cool to add another owl to the games, since the one we have in the game isn’t really owl like. When I was searching one up though, this is the first one to show up. The only problem being it was a giant burrowing owl. So it thought it would be cool to allow this thing to still fly, but with the help of its saddle. The idea of adding another owl to the game was to make a stealth creature, similar to owl in real life, but since the Ornimegalonyx is a burrowing owl, it was fun to give it attributes from both burrowing and flying owls.
