The massive goose-relative is a force to be reckoned with. Boasting high health, water buff and speed, and a simple passive taming, Diatryma is a perfect early to mid game mount. In real life, Gastornis was a titanic herbivorous bird from Europe. Think dodo and terror bird combined. It had an extremely powerful beak, perhaps for breaking food or fighting off predatory creodonts.
DIATRYMA
Species: Gastornis parisiensis
Time: Early Eocene
Diet: Herbivore
Temperament: Aggresive
Wild
These large flightless birds rival even the Therizinosaurs is herbivore ferocity. At a glance, the diatryma cam be confused for the terror bird. However, the diatryma is not only larger and herbivorous, it also seems to show many similarities to ducks and geese.
Domesticated
These birds are surprisingly effective on the water, where they spend much of their time. They aren't as home in the sea as Pelagornis or Hesperornis, but they can still paddle along at great speeds. On land they are relatively slow and cumbersome. They male for nice tanks though, due to their bulky build.
Diatryma beaks are extremely powerful. I've estimated that it could crack a coconut. This is actually not surprising for an herbivore, as ceratopsians possess bone-crushing bites as well.

In the Wild - Diatryma spawn in around redwoods, coastal waters, and occasionally jungles. In the wild they aggro onto any carnivore that attacks it, and anything from Raptor tier or higher will want to eat this goose.
Taming - The diatryma are passive tames, but with a twist; they hate you and want you dead. They have an aggro range slightly larger than a Theri's. When you approach, don't bother with ghillie or crouching.
When aggroed onto a player, to will run (or swim) up and preform a set of screeches for about 8 seconds. Only in this time, you can quickly feed it and rereat from its aggro range. To slow, and it will truly aggro and tear you up. When it us ready to feed again it will start stamping its foot (or doing backflips if in water), so keep an eye on it from a safe distance. Process must be repeated until tamed.
Riding - Diatryma require saddles to ride. It's saddle is unlocked at level 50.
Food - The Diatryma is of course herbivorous. For taming it can take Superior Kibble, crops, or berries. It can harvest corpses when tamed, however.
In the Water - After touching water, the Diatryma will get a 30 second Hydration Buff that operates like a Spino's, giving buffs to speed, damage, and health regen.
The Diatryma is a speedy water creature, but retains an oxygen bar. Thankfully, it has very high oxygen, so in most cases you won't need to worry about taking this duck for a five.
Tank - This creature has average/low speed and turn radius on land. It's high health stat for its tier of creature makes is an ideal tank for fighting enemies from Dilos to Allos; its melee stats are reasonable as well, not pathetic like some tanks.
Appearance - The Diatryma is around twice the height of a survivor. It is very bulky as well, a bit like a Theri. In the wild its feathers are usually dull colors like brown, reddish brown, black, or dark grey, with little variation. Their eggs are Medium-sized and are colored blue with black specks.
Ants - A hidden ability; the Diatryma deals double damage to Titanomyrma and Rhyniognatha. They are also immune to poisoning from the two.
