The Uintatherium, meaning “beast of the Uinta mountains' ', was a large herbivorous mammal that lived during the eocene period. A bizarre, superficially rhino like animal, it had the features we’d associate with other groups of creatures. It had a large and stout rhino like body, six knob like ossicones on its head, and a pair of long saber-like fangs coming out of its mouth.
Abilities:
-Body slam attack: While the wooly rhino specializes in piercing its target, the uintatherium specializes in breaking through structures by slamming its body into them. This attack when given enough room to charge does massive damage to structures up to stone. When used against enemies this attack does damage and knocks back larger creatures and flat out stuns smaller ones. This attack can be used to gather resources as well.
-Saddle armor: The uintatherium has the option for two saddles. The normal which is unlocked at level 40, and one that can be unlocked at level 65. This higher tier saddle resembles medieval horse armor, and this armor provides much further resistance to damage from firearms and explosives. This armor notably makes the body slam attack do more damage.
-Headbutt: A standard headbutt attack with its ossicones that does damage and knockback.
-Bite: Standard bite that does damages and collects resources
-Carry weight:As a large, dense herbivore the uintatherium is able to carry large amounts of resources for long distances.
-Living grinder: Utilizing its saberteeth and ossicones it is able to grind up materials when put in its inventory.
-Swimming: Like asian rhinos, uintatherium are capable of swimming, something that is useful when traversing the many lakes and rivers across Aberration
-Cargo: The default saddle comes strapped with saddlebags and extra inventory slots
Appearance: It’s up for debate whether the uintatherium had fur or not, but I think a mix of both could work well. It should still resemble the real animal, but possessing armor plated skin similar to an Indian rhino would add to its design. Regarding fur patterns, there’s paleo art that depicts it with fur resembling that of a bongo or okapi, so I believe that would be a great reference. I’ll leave examples of all in the images section.
Taming method: Uintatherium are generally passive, but become aggressive when approached. When provoked they’ll charge at an aggressor, and this is what starts the taming process. Once locked onto the target they’ll start charging, and a survivor can lead them inadvertently crashing into rocks, walls, or trees. This leaves them temporarily dazed, allowing for a survivor to feed them their preferred food, superior kibble.
