Queen Titanomyrma

[matheusshd1]

Species: Titanomyrma parvagigan                                                                                                                            

Time: Paleogene

Diet: Carnivore

Temperament: Territorial

Wild

After a long time wandering these aberrant caverns being attacked by her soldiers and drones, I finally found Queen Titanomyrma when I cautiously followed one of her soldiers taking a carcass to her ant hill, since the carcass is placed near the anthill. , there is a small chance that the queen will come out to feed while the workers take her to the anthill, , she was the length of a German shepherd and easily reached knee height. Once she sees a stranger approaching her territory, she won't hesitate to send her soldiers to attack, even if it kills many of her children.

Domesticated

many survivors destroy the anthills with the queen in the process to collect small resources such as meat, berries and fungi wood. Others tried their luck to camouflage themselves with Ghillie clothing and approach the anthill with a carcass, but the Queen appeared not to accept the kindness of a two-legged bush, she simply ignored it. When a survivor dressed in quintine armor approached with the carcass of a large animal, the queen saw this survivor as a king of her offspring and accepted him into her hive. Once the survivor gains the loyalty of the queen, she is able to quickly create an anthill and will start collecting resources that her king (surviving player) chooses from collecting the fruits and vegetables from the crop plot, to the feces of nearby creatures to base cleaning. Some survivors place these anthills to attack small animals and collect meat and leather or even berries and fibers from nearby bushes.

This should just be a TLC

[Kinsky]

Thinking of a TLC that incorporates colonies of ants with their own queen seems amazing to me.

I kinda agree but its still an idea. They could upscale the drone and change up the model a bit to make a Queen & a King honestly.

how big is it irl?

What kind of tame would it be

[Lunarachne]

Not the person who posted it, but I can think of a few ideas for how this would suit tame wise.
Ultimately she would be a utility tame, and possibly a bodyguard style. Non breedable, or breedable with difficulty, especially as Titanomyrma are not tameable.
If it is a bodyguard style, then I could see it being a case of using her pheromones to cause wild Titanomyrma to guard you for a time, and cause them to ignore you otherwise.

As for utility, being a general passive collector is not a terrible idea either. Though I would say it could be a static defense type, though, as an anthill placed in the right place to fight off interlopers could be fun. Most likely mid to late via taming methods, but having utility more as a tribe tame, to protect your fledgeling tribemates and protect your gates from those who mean harm.

Conceptually anyways, hard to say how Wildcard would take to it, but could be fun to imagine anyways.

I am open to new suggestions and ideas to improve the idea of putting the queen in the game

[arilion]

As you know, in Ark we have the Titanomyrmas that we always find in the ecosystem, they only appear to bother us at the beginning of the game. These annoying ants do not have a single function in the game, other than being sacrificed to get their chitin.

but now with Queen Titanomyrma they can be useful:



Queen Titanomyrma

A queen always has to have subjects that follow her everywhere, either to defend her or to get resources for her. The arrival of the Queen Titanomyrma in the Ark is perfect to bring order and put to perfect use the lost normal titanomyrmas that wander aimlessly through the forests.

Wild:  they will be found in where many resources abound, these queens will always be found within their anthills, if any creature approaches them, whether hostile or not, a small army of tytanomyrmas will come out of the anthill (flying and not flying) to get rid of it.

Tame: 

- Option 1: Although getting closer will be a bit difficult, with the help of the queen bee's honey we will be able to get closer to the anthill, we just have to throw the honey in a place and the whole army of ants will go after it. The queen Titanomyrma will see your goodness by not killing any of her subjects and she will begin to trust you, she will come out of the anthill and you can have her on your shoulder, the wild ants will not attack you, here begins the taming: you must start killing the enemy natural of all Ark insects: The Megatherium. Once several megatherios have been killed, the queen will have placed all her trust and will decide to be your adventure companion.

- Option 2: Approaching the anthill, killing the entire army of ants that comes out of there, and mercilessly destroying the anthill, this will make the Queen Titanomyrma storm out, determined to attack you, continuously taking out minions that will drain your stamina with each attack. Once we manage to kill the ant queen, we will have a chance to get an egg from her inventory, which if we incubate it well, will result in a Queen Titanomyrma larva.


Domesticated: 

PVP:
- The queen Titanomyrmas, once tamed, can climb on their owner's shoulder and when ordered to do so, they can release pheromones that will attract all the wild titanomyrmas that are nearby, putting them under their control. When the pheromones wear off, the titanomyrmas will revert to their original state and become hostile.

- Also the Queen Titanomyrmas can create their own minions, from time to time, which can drain the stamina of our enemies and make them slow, this will serve as a lot of support when we are in the middle of a fight with another tribe and they have fast dinosaurs and ours are slow.

- anthill mode : anthill modelike the queen bee it can become a honeycomb or hive. The queen titanomyrma can become an anthill, it will have 2 modes:



- The first mode will be the turret mode, which will help in some way to defend the base by continually taking out ants, they will not drain stamina with each attack but they will reduce speed and health by a small percentage.

- The second mode is the farm mode, which I will explain in the pve part.

PVE:

- Option 1: The farm mode is simple, when the queen is in the form of an anthill, she can be told to farm all the resources in the area (the queen will order her subjects to do so and the resources will appear in the anthill's inventory) but in quantities it will be very small when we collect them ourselves with our hands, this mode will also make trees, bushes, rocks, metal and any other resource appear faster as the Stryders do, of course you could also indicate some specific resource that we want it to collect.

- option 2: instead of collecting resources, they just collect all the products of the crops of our farms.

it would be passive taming, but instead of using ghillie to camouflage, he would use chitin armor

It's cool and all but it's just an ant dude
