Presenting Dracovenator  - The Poisonous Blood Squirting Drake Mimic

Dracovenator is an extinct species of Dilophosauridae, it lived during the Jurassic period and it was roughly 5.5-6.5m tall, around the size of a Velonasaur. It was more than likely a carnivore due to its heritage. Dracovenator's name means Dragon Hunter, isn't that cool!

I chose to give Dracovenator a skin and abilities which reflect the Amazonian Poison Dart Frog and Horned Lizard, this would allow a realistic and believable approach to the creature whilst also making it unique to Aberration.

Wild: Dracovenator, a volatile deadly hunter, a creature most adapted to the dangers of Aberration. I have noticed these intelligent hunters casually walking past Drakes, the Drakes themselves pay no attention to them as if they were one of their own. Like Modern day Dart Frogs, Dracovenator is not fond of being hunted by other creatures, so it has adapted a unique behaviour where it rolls in mushrooms which gives it a poisonous layer of fluid. Most predators which do attack Dracovenator, end up fleeing due to the toxicity of this fluid layer.
 

Tamed: Dracovenator is a great addition to any tribe, providing a reliable way of getting your first rock drake eggs. Most passive tribes tend to use Dracovenators unique behaviour to prevent tribes from using large creatures to attack them. 

Taming

Dracovenator has a unique passive taming method which relies on you dropping mushrooms in front of it, it will then proceed to follow you, you must guide it to a mushroom patch, once it is at the mushroom patch it will do a unique animation where it will roll around in the mushrooms, during this time you must feed it mutton or kibble.

 

Attacks And Stats

Primary Attack (Left Click) : Normal Bite Attack, alternates with different animations. Will do roughly 36 base damage.

Secondary Attack ( Right Click) : This is the ability where Dracovenator will roll in mushrooms, this gives Poison Armour. Pressing this again will perform the shake action which leaves AoE damaging pools of Poison. This would scale with the amount of damage Dracovenator has.

Tertiary Attack (Click C) : This is Dracovenators Poison Claw ability where it will attack with its claws which gives the target, a damage debuff, a slow and damage over time.

Pseudo Climbing (Tap Space) : When you are near a ledge, tap space and Dracovenator will perform an animation where it will be able to climb down, you cannot climb up with this ability.

 

Health: 460

Stamina: 340

Oxygen: 200

Food: 2000

Weight: 400

Melee: 100 (36 damage at base)

 

Bloodshot Ability

When you think you are in peril and there's no mushrooms nearby, Dracovenator has a secret ability, as you are being attacked there will be a rage meter which builds up, once reached you can activate the Bloodshot ability, this ability automatically targets the aggressor and squirts blood at them, this produces a fear debuff which makes the aggressor runaway. This ability is inspired by the Horned Lizard.

Abilities And Uses

Dracovenator has quite a few unique abilities for its arsenal, from being a poisonous deterrent to being an egg thief.

Poisonous Skin: As said earlier Dracovenator will roll in mushrooms which gives it a poisonous layer of fluid, during this time however you, the rider, are immune to radiation as it works similar to a mushroom brew but with a mush more potent effect, Dracovenator is naturally immune to radiation as it likes to visit its drake buddies now and then.

Blood Squirt: This will cause Dracovenator to spray blood from its eyes in self defense.

Drake Mimic: Due to its naming I thought that Dracovenator being a Drake Mimic would be a cool idea. This would allow Dracovenator to run pass Drakes whilst not being agro'd.

Egg Stealer: Dracovenator is perfect for stealing your first Drake eggs, climbing down into the nests similar to the like of Deinonychus but you can only go down, when you are at an egg, use the attack button and the Drake egg will be collected by your Dracovenator which will prevent the Drakes from detecting you.

Shake Ability: Dracovenator when covered by the mushroom fluid can shake its body to remove the fluid, during this, the fluid flings into AoE damaging pools of goop.

Torpor Immunity: Due to Dracovenators excessive behaviour, it is immune to the effects of torpor.

Traversal Mount: Dracovenator is a swift predator being able to run away from most would be aggressors.

I'm not one for big therapod type dinos normally but I'm really loving this design and most of the ideas presented for it. The incorporation of poison dart frog features is particularly interesting and fun!

This isn't as large as it seems, it's around Velo sized which is like the middle size of the current Theropods in Ark. But thank you for the compliment!
