I'd love to see a second owl added to the game!

this sounds cool

I love the idea of more Owls, plus having living spotlights would be a cool concept for bases and such. A few more suggestions if you don't mind.

The Owl should have a sentry ability, during this I would stand in place and focus its spotlight charge sight on nearby enemies, you could either have it reveal stealthed enemies if it hits them with the light while scanning around or just spook and deter Nameless. This would give it the sorely needed niche of base charge coverage besides just shoulder pets and Z plants.

Another idea is the ability to rescue shoulder pets. By having them also able to ride in the Owls shoulders by picking them up like how the Gigantopithecus can. I think the ability for Shoulder Pets to ride on other dinos is a neglected mechanic that would be greatly appreciated, mainly because they're so vulnerable and hard to transport. Creatures that do this would naturally protect the shoulder pets from Aggro and taking damage like a player on a saddle. They could even give the Owl a set of shoulder pads on its wings since it doesn't fly for up to 2 pets to sit on. Thanks to its mobility it'd be able to swiftly snatch your beloved light pet off the ground and keep it out of harms way. Like a Maewing or Procoptodon. Neither of which are on the map normally either.

Absolutely desrves to be added into the game, an owl, even if flightless fits the theme of Aberration so well, an eerie feeling of "you're being watched", plus it adds more use to light pets, it'd basically be a Troodon worth taming, and stumbling into one during the darkness must be a TERRIFYING experience, gotta give the W to the owl

The mechanics are great but an owl imo doesn’t fit the ab environment flight or not. Might have better luck with a land dino with owl characteristics. 

[FalconPhoenix]

I love the idea, a flightless bird (other than the forgettable terror bird or the theri) based on the light pet you can find on the aberration, just bigger, i'm surprised we don't get these at the base

[ikkihell]

the functions of the dino can be improved but I like them

[Ravelordnito444]

Welp this has got to win. Owl with charge lights in its eyes just fits too well.

[PandaA4]

This is an awesome idea and a good mid tier take which is always nice. So many of these vote winners have been giga killer 3.0 also I just love birds 

[Fairy210]

Pretty cool idea. I think Ark definitely needs an owl.

[StillnoBrain]

Looks cool

[Yasar]

a other owl would be a cool addition to the game

[Shaovlinx]

Se ve genial 

[Armangamer]

this looks amazing!

[CemeteryGirl88]

This is cute we need more owls in Ark

[NerdyGremlin]

It's a cool creature. The spotlight eyes are kind of amusing to me. The only problem (which isn't even a problem, just a preference) is that I'm more-so leaning towards voting for a roll-rat sized creature. I just prefer creatures with the potential for great utility alongside bulk (I'm a mammoth enthusiast.) I also just think the ravager does a fine enough job at being an all-rounder, scouting creature.

nice work mate 

 

[SamuraiMat]

original idea! never noticed the terror birds were missing on the map lol

[Emily0713]

This is gonna be amazing as long as the gliding ability is only a little bit better than the Deinonychus. No need to get over that.

[ExTGoldie]

Good fit for the map

A flightless owl is the perfect addition for Aberration! What's weirder than a bird that doesn't fly!

…………I agree, but that’s not a question you want answered 😅

[Angel15]

Good idea

[Angel15]

Nice work
