Suggestion

 The creature I selected for the Aberration vote is called Desmatosuchus. It lived on the whole Triasic period and it was not even a dinosaur, it was called an Aetosaur. Its cool appareance (a combination between the ferocity of the Kaprosuchus, the imponent shell of the Trilobite and the head of the Stegosaurus) inspired me to suggest this beautiful, and at the same time terrifying, animal. Hope you vote and enjoy Desmatosuchus!!

TAMING FOOD:

-Its taming is a bit peculiar because when a male and a female are together, the female will eventually lay a fertilized egg. After the egg has been laid, the male and the female will go to sleep. When they are asleep, the player must grab the egg and run. We need to be careful because there are generally three groups of one male and one female on an area, and if they see us with the fertilized egg, they won´t doubt on attacking us, and they are very lethal..

-After we have gotten away with the egg, we hatch it like any other egg, by putting it in the middle of four bonfires.

-When it hatches, we have to feed it in a passive way. It also can eat chitin.

-After tamed, we can only mount it after it is fully mature. When this happens, it is breedable.

SPECIAL ABILITIES:

When mounted, it can hide under its shell and regenerate health, to activate, we have to press Right Click for PC, LT for Xbox and L2 for PS. It can also do this in the wild, but not when it is tamed and unmounted.

This is useful for fighting bosses.

Like Megatherium, it is far stronger and faster after eating bugs for two minutes. Its base damage with the bite is 75, with the tail, 100.

 

FARMING, DROPS, SPAWNING LOCATION:

Like other omnivores, it farms:

-Berries and fiber, like the Direbear does.

-Thatch and wood.

-Raw Mutton, Raw Prime Meat, Raw Meat, Chitin, Hide, and Keratin.

-Its one of the best gatherers of chitin and stone.

-Like Ankylosaurus, it can also farm Stone, Flint and Metal.

-When you kill a Desmato, it drops Raw Prime Meat, Raw Meat, Hide and Keratin because of its shell.

-Since it is a past-version of a crocodile, it spawns in the Cristal Swamps region. Has a high spawn there, so be careful!

DOSSIER:

¨Common name: Desmato .

  Species: Desmatosuchus Spurensis.

  Temperament: Territorial.

  Diet: Hervibore/Omnivore.

  Time: Triasic

WILD

When I first heard about Desmatosuchus Spurensis, I thought that the survivors that talked about it were dumb, because there was no way that an ¨ Ankylosaurus¨ (their words, not mine) attacked small insects and ate their meat with berries. Well, I was totally wrong! This is a new species that is more related to a Trilobite than to an Ankylosaur.

This extraordinary creature has a strange behavior. Since it also eats berries and fruit, it does not attack humans or passive creatures but it becomes aggressive when mating, when an insect is nearby or if a survivor gets too close.

DOMESTICATED

Desmatosuchus is, like many other big reptilians, a purely military tame. Since it can hide itself with its shell when losing a  fight, its immune to torpor. The only way to tame it is to grab one of its eggs when mating…. but this is a risky thing.

Fortunately, it usually goes to sleep after a few minutes it mates, so the survivors that want to tame it will have to be very patient.

Meet Desmatosuchus!

Wild: While many survivors mistake this lumbering beast to be a carnivore, Desmatosuchus is actually an herbivorous crocodile relative. These animals like to hangout in the depths of the so called "Red Zone". They have a unique ability where they can absorb the surrounding radiation and spew it out in a radioactive pulse, pushing away enemies and inflicting them with radioactive poisoning. Their dense armor also protects them from oncoming attacks, as well as being able to impale those with its massive shoulder spikes.

Tamed: Taming one of these crocs however, is a challenge for many survivors, as they love to bathe in the radiated pools of liquefied element, taming them is as simple as feeding them mushrooms and berries while they bathe. Once tamed, Desmatosuchus are formidable mounts, as they are able to absorb the radiation and spew it out at enemies, their long shoulder spikes enable for a deadly defense that will impale on coming attackers. These creatures may seem gentle at first, but watch out for these radioactive crocs!
