a chill dude Estemmenosuchus, The Pneumatic Therapsid

[Ru5ty1738]

Estemmenosuchus(meaning "crowned crocodile" in Greek) is a therapsid from the middle permian of Russia that existed around 267 million years ago…
 

In the world of Ark: Survival Ascended, taming the Estemmenosuchus proves to be a strategic choice for early to late game players exploring the challenging Aberration map. This versatile dinosaur possesses unique abilities that make it an essential asset in combat situations, particularly when dealing with formidable adversaries such as reapers and nameless.

 

The Estemmenosuchus possesses exceptional offensive and defensive capabilities, allowing survivors to swiftly eliminate threats in a quick and efficient manner. One of its standout features is its ability to consume congealed gas, which grants it the power to puff up its body. This inflation creates a potent buff to its attacking and defensive prowess, enabling it to deliver devastating blows to opponents and withstand considerable damage.

 

However, what truly sets the Estemmenosuchus apart is its special ability to harness the accumulated gas within its body and utilize it in a stunning fashion. Similar to a photo camera's flash, the Estemmenosuchus can release bursts of gas, creating powerful flashbang-like effects. These explosive emissions temporarily disoriented and stun enemy dinosaurs.

 

So, if you're seeking a formidable dinosaur ally capable of traversing and dealing with all kinds of threats Aberration can throw at you, taming the Estemmenosuchus should be a top priority in Ark: Survival Ascended on the Aberration map.

 

Abilities

• Gassed - The biggest ability Estemmenosuchus possesses. When fed congealed gas balls, Estemmenosuchus grows in size, increasing damage dealt and decreasing damage taken. Having this ability will also grant access to the (Flashbang) ability. [ when Gassed certain parts of Estemmeno glows ]

 

• Flashbang - Estemmenosuchus uses the built of gas in its system to release a flash of light causing creatures to go blind for a few seconds. Being extra effective to Reapers and Nameless causing them to take more incoming damage from you our allies attacks. 

 

• immune to radiation - self explanatory

 

 Mobility

 

• Climb - Estemmenosuchus is able climb up sheer rock walls (Ferox climb nothing too crazy)[Gassed only]

 

• Boost - While gassed, Estemmenosuchus can propel itself forward (drains Gassed meter)[Gassed only]

 

Edit: People have been asking for the deflated concept art so here you go.

Looks a bit too gorilla-ish for my taste-but interesting abilities suggested nonetheless

[DrawolfKnight]

Interesting concept, I love it. I hope to see it in the finalists, it has a touch of a "Guillermo del toro" creature, almost like Pacific RIm.

While normally I am of the opinion that people need to remember that the implied abilities may be absent entirely and to simply vote based on the creature, I have to admit I would love to see this in the game with your concept. 

[BedRocker]

something that will protect me, yes pls 

[Xenorachnoide]

What a cool design, the idea to add the abberation touch with the gas mechanics to increase the particular shape of the estemmenosuchus, nice job mate

Créature impressionnante, je trouve ces deux formes assez stylées même si sa forme dégonflée me fait plus d'effet et bien sûr je pense qu'il conviendrait parfaitement à Ab.
