Corythosaurus (The caring mother)

[TheOneAndOnly666]

Name: Corythosaurus

Temporal appearance: Late Cretaceous

Nutrition: Herbivore

Habitat: North America

Aggressiveness: Neutral (As long as you're not too close to the herd)

 

WILD: I was told that the Corythosaurus (Corytho) is mainly in herds that only roam in large areas. As soon as an enemy is nearby, the Corytho decides to protect his flock as well as his brood. That too until the bitter end. However, it is not known that he attacks any other animals for no reason. To signal to the other Corythos that an enemy is nearby, he makes a loud scream. In addition, someone told me that the Coryrthos are able to build nests in which the eggs are hatched.

 

TAMING: Taming a Corytho is not easy. First of all, you have to wait for a pack to be attacked by an enemy and have to survive. Once that's the case, you'll have to help the Corythos defeat the enemy. BUT BEWARE!!! If you get too close to the Corythos, they will start to see you as an enemy. To prevent this, you should try firearms. Once the enemy has died with your help, the Corythos will give you some confidence.However, this trust is not enough to fully approach the herd. To achieve this, you must continue to kill enemies who want to attack the herd. As soon as you get too close to the herd, this advance will be lost and you will be attacked. If you have managed to gain the full trust of the herd, the herd will allow you to claim one of the babies, as they believe that you can protect the baby well. All you have to do is raise it like a normal baby.

 

Domesticated:

Herd bonus: As soon as at least 2 Corythos are together, they will receive a herd bonus. This provides a bonus to health, damage, and resistance to the Yuty's fear buff and the Microraptor/Purlovia buff. This health and damage bonus is amplified the more Corythos are together.

In general: The Corytho is able to run very fast with a very large stamina. While his life is comparatively high for his size, his damage is relatively average. Its high weight capacity, also makes it ideal as a construction dino. The Corytho has a weight reduction for:

-Wood

-Thatch

-Berries

-Hide

-Structures

Females: Female corythos are able to act as an efficient nanny. This means that babies who are raised by a Corytho nanny are not only fed and shaped, but the Corytho nanny would give everything to protect the babies. In addition, it gives the babies (ONLY the babies) a buff (motherly love), which causes the babies to consume less food and are shaped twice as fast (possibly more efficiently).

Males: Males are good at defending the base. As soon as "Groupleader" (or something similar) is activated in the male's radial menu, the male is able to alert his own tamed dinos, which are standing within a certain radius, to dangers with a scream and give them a buff "For the tribe", which gives them a health and damage bonus to fight the enemy. The male can give this buff not only in the base, but also on the go when dinos are within range. Someone told me that the male Corytho is also suitable for bosses.

 

Controls:

left-click: simple attack with the beak

right-click: strong attack with the fingers

c (only for males): "For the tribe" buff

Abilities: Corythosaurus has further proved my theory of this land and it’s creatures being curated, it’s become a very widely used creature in advanced tribes arsenals. Being efficient at halting many raid attempts it’s main ability is it’s shrill scream causing a large increase in damage taken and a major speed debuff to any enemy creature in range allowing the tribes turrets to quickly and efficiently kill any creature attempting to soak them. While being mainly used In advanced tribes it can still shine in more primitive ones too utilizing its speed in combination with its scream to escape almost any predator.

Taming: Corythosaurus can be found in the plains of ragnarok grazing on the grass there. To tame one of these beasts you must be sneaky because they are easily spooked you must use a metal sickle and walk up to it and clean the ticks off of its back. (Right click on Cory and then you do a Stryder style mini game) After cleaning enough ticks the Corythosaurus will warm up to you.

Data for the Corythosaurus:

ACTIVE ABILITIES:

• Left Click: Horn Cut, deals 70 base damage.
• Right Click: Bellow, applies "Stunned!" status effect to humans and any un-allied creature with a drag weight that is less than 520.
• Spacebar: Stomp, does 180 base damage, but has a 100-second (1 min, 40 secs) cooldown.

PASSIVE ABILITIES:

• Organic Polymer production: Every 20 minutes, Corythosaurus has a 35% chance to produce 20 Organic Polymer in its inventory.
• Wood collection bonus: Corythosaurus is very efficient at gathering wood, and also has 95% weight reduction for Wood and Charcoal.
• Damage reductions: The Corythosaurus takes half damage from armor-piercing attacks and carnivore damage types. Yes, bosses also deal half damage!

SADDLE:

The Corythosaurus' saddle is unlocked at level 83 for 65 Engram points. It requires, for the base quality saddle to be crafted in the Fabricator:

• 150 Polymer
• 60 Crystal
• 90 Metal Ingot
• 35 Electronics

However, its abilities are unlike any other. The saddle will protect the rider from being dismounted, and also supplies oxygen underwater. The Corythosaurus itself also has a natural buff that protects it from being electrocuted, and its drag weight of 520 also prevents it from being grabbed!

TAMING METHOD: In order to tame the Corythosaurus, one must be affected with the Cactus Broth buff, be crouched, and wearing a full Ghillie suit. Put Narcotics, or better, Bio-Toxin, in your last item slot, and walk up to the creature from behind. When you see the prompt to feed, press "E" and its torpidity will increase by 40 for Narcotic, or 80 for Bio-Toxin. For an idea of the length of the KO period, here are the Corytho's stats:

• Health: 1100 base, +220 per level
• Stamina: 960 base, +48 per level
• Oxygen: Cannot suffocate, so stat is unused
• Food: 2520 base, +252 per level
• Weight: 5500 base, +55 per level
• Melee Damage: 70/180 base, +14/36 per level
• Torpidity: 640 base, +80 per level

After you feed the Corytho 16 Narcotics (+2 per level in Torpidity), or 8 Bio-Toxin (+1 per Torpidity level), in 15-second intervals, it will fall unconscious. Once that happens, run up to it and put a "Swamp Stew" in the Corytho's inventory. Swamp Stew is made in a Cooking Pot using:

• 15 Rare Flowers
• 15 Rare Mushrooms
• 25 Cactus Sap
• 60 of each of the 4 main berries (Amarberry, Azulberry, Tintoberry, Mejoberry)
• 20 of each crop (Citronal, Longrass, Rockarrot, Savoroot)
• 1 Giant Bee Honey
• A water container that is at least 1/4 full

Every 30th level, the Corytho requires 1 more Swamp Stew to tame, so at level 1-30, it requires 1 Swamp Stew to tame, level 31-60, it requires 2 Swamp Stew, level 61-90 requires 3, and so on. Once it is tamed, it only eats Rare Flowers and Rare Mushrooms, so you would need quite a few on hand in order to have a Corytho in your base (Unless you have a Cryopod, of course!)!

so i had the same creature idea. we need more herbivores in the game and the corythosaurus looks cool. 

my idea for its abilities were as follows. All involve singing.

1. Since the corythosaurus is a hadrosaur and has that nice head crest in thought it would be fitting that they should be able to sing. This singing could either make players and tames fall asleep (soothing lullaby) If you are familiar with pokemon think of jigglypuff in the anime show. The sleep duration would be a debuff of about a minute or so and players and tames cant do anything untill they wake up. Similar to torpidity effect.

2. Another possibility would be a song that sounds so good it just makes any players and tames around it in a certain radius to stop everything they are doing and start dancing to the music. (I got this idea sort of from the boogie bomb in the game Fortnite)

3. I hope everyone has heard of the story of the pied piper because that's the next ability. The cory's music has a luring mechanic that will want to make players/tames follow the sound. You could lure players and tames (wild ones even) into traps, enemy base's, in front of turrets etc. 

all abilities would drain the cory's stamina so it couldn't be used forever. It would also put the ability on cooldown so it wouldn't be able to be spammed rapidly.

I also thought that maybe wearing a certain type of helmet (Tek? or maybe Riot?) would make players immune to the songs but not tames. unless Wildcard wants to add in a new item like Earplugs/Earphones that could be equipped to both players and tames.

I definitely think the cory's size should be similar to the top photograph. About the same size as a Allosaurus in game. It should at least be bigger than the only other hadrosaur in the game the Parasaur.

anyways that's my idea for such an awesome creature. If anybody has any improvements post them and upvote this creature. WE NEED MORE HERBIVORES IN GAME!!! Not another meat eater.

Species: Corythosaurus aggressus

Time: Cretaceous

Diet: Herbivore

Temperament: Extremely territorial

Wild:

Found mainly within the swamplands of the large island, Corythosaurus aggressus is, size-wise, about halfway between a Parasaurolophus and a Tyrannosaurus. Its temper, however? Very similar to the latter. Corythosaurus will aggressively attack any human or carnivore, even the mighty Giganotosaurus, if it gets too close. The horn on Corythosaurus' head is very sharp and can penetrate thick armor with ease. The horn also allows the creature to bellow so loud, that humans and smaller carnivores lose their orientation and become stunned by it, allowing the Corythosaurus to finish its foe with a powerful stomp with its front legs!

Domesticated:

Attempting to pacify the Corythosaurus, although it can be done, is incredibly difficult and should not be done without camouflaging equipment. Many tribes have been wiped out by only one Corythosaurus because they use one of the few things that it is immune to: injected tranquilizers. The Corythosaurus' hide is so thick, that the only way to knock one unconscious is to have it ingest tranquilizer poison. It also accepts few foods for taming, the only thing it appears to eat is a rare stew made from Rare Mushrooms, Rare Flowers, and Cactus Sap, among other ingredients. However, once domesticated, Corythosaurus will quickly become a top mount for many advanced tribes. Its horn allows the Corythosaurus to collect significant amounts of wood. The saddle for it is soundproof, so that the rider does not become deafened when the Corythosaurus bellows! The saddle also blocks outside intrusion, so that the rider also cannot be knocked off the saddle and is also airtight, allowing the rider to go deep into the ocean and collect rare, deep-sea resources without the need for SCUBA gear! The creature itself also passively produces Organic Polymer over time, and the thick hide also softens the impacts of sharp fangs, even making the Corythosaurus immune to being grabbed!
