Ragnaroks volcano area is dying for something to freshen it up:
Ragnaroks volcanos are boring and uninteresting, with the only reason to go even near the area is because of the wyvern trench. Ragnaroks volcano area is famous for its looks and its once in a blue moon erupting volcano, but there isn't anything besides looks and a few valuable resources that draws players into that area. it barely has any interesting creatures there, with there being only insects and golums, but what if we they changed that? What if ARK introduced a creature that could change how we view Ragnaroks volcano forever... Introducing the Isisaurus!
Abilities:
Wyverns ultimate nightmare:
Because the Isisaurus lives near wyverns, one of ARK's most formidable predators, it should be equipped to deal with them. While a massive herbivore thats stuck on the ground, Isisaurus has grown around its envoirement and can handle whatever the volcanic death zone can throw at it. Fire, poisonous air, and electricity are barely enough to give the titan a scratch. If a wyvern or any other flying predator dares to get close to it, the sauropod has dozens of large spikes on its neck, back, and tail that can land a heavy blow to the winged giant, causing bleed and grounding it, leaving it open for the Isisaurus to get more up close and personal. Intense body heat:
With the animals adaptation to intensely heated areas, the Isisaurus has evolved to have incredible body heat, which allows it to live in volcanic conditions. But thats not the only thing strong body heat brings to the Isisaurus! The creature's internal fire is so powerful that smaller nearby predators and insects (carnos, raptors, and mantis spiders) are put off by it and choose to flee the area, which can significantly help tribes with a small base. The sauropod's heat also helps survivors who live in colder environments. Players who choose to have an isisaurus in their freezing base will be awarded with large surrounding warmth for their entire base, which removes the fear of hypotherima while also insulating eggs that need warmth to hatch!
Powerful stomp and dust cloud:
With Isisaurus massive size, it has the ability to hind up its legs and deliver a powerful stomp that inflicts heavy damage to anyone close enough to it. Not only that, because of the strong stomp, a large cloud of dust is created as a result, which blinds and suffocates any creature that's overshadowed by it.
Can walk on lava:
The Isisaurus has morphed into the perfect organism that can survive any volcanic environment; thus, it has no fear of lava! While prolonged exposure to it will do drastic damage to the creature, the isisaurus can handle the scorching flames of lava for long periods of time with no real concern, allowing it to move around in areas that no other creature could with its size.
Health and speed boost when around an erupting volcano:
Even for an animal like Isisaurus, it is weary of the dangers of an erupting volcano. The animal is so weary of them that, when one arrives, it hardens its skin for any incoming flying debris and also moves faster to get away from any threat caused by the volcano. This biological mechanism brings a lot of opportunities for players, its hardened skin makes it tougher to kill, and its faster speed makes it easier to cover large distances with such a large specimen
Ultimate charchole gatherer:
Ragnarok's volcanic area has a lot of charred-up trees. If a survivor is in need of charchole for gunpowder, then they can use the isisaurus to gather an absurd amount of charchole in the surrounding area.
Tailwhip bleed attack:
Since the isisaurus has a extremely spikey tail, any foolish creature to attack it from behind will recieve a tailwhip that causes immense bleed.
In the wild and taming method:
In the wild, isisaurus tend to be very close to one another, to keep each other company. This also means that they have their young very close to them and are extremely aggressive to any animal that gets even slightly close to their offspring. Because the animal is so powerful and difficult to take down.. the only way to tame it, is to steal its babies and raise them yourself. This creates an interesting new way to tame an animal. You can't just steal their eggs, you have to steal their young, and that creates a host of new challenges, like the fact you can't pick up the animal with the flyer or the fact it's a large baby that's slow and difficult to bring back to base.
I hope you all find this entry interesting and if anyone has any more ideas for this creature, please let me know and I'll add them to the post!
