Quote

 

Common Name: Falcarius

Species Name: Falcarius vagus

Time: Early Cretaceous

Diet: Omnivore

Temperament: Docile

WILD:

Found in the most inhospitable regions of the ARK, Falcarius vagus is a mid-sized cousin of the Therizinosaurus. This hardy animal sports a fluffy coat of feathers along its body and neck, which allows it to stay insulated wherever it goes. Falcarius also sports the signature massive claws of its larger cousin, though they are notably shorter and can be swung much faster. 

Being nomadic in nature, a Falcarius cannot be picky with its food. These animals will normally prefer to eat meat, but will also chow down on the shrubbery if need be. It seems that Falcarius especially LOVE honey, and will go out of their way to get it by all means necessary.

 

DOMESTICATED:

To tame a Falcarius, one has to simply walk up to it slowly and feed it honey. It is recommended to crouch when approaching the animal as to not spook it.

Once tamed, Falcarius can insulate their riders wherever they go, whether that be the frigid mountaintops or the sweltering deserts. Plus, these fluffy critters are just way too cute to not tame!
