The hamster-sized rodent was a creature of the Jurassic age that seems to have defied extinction until at least the Cretaceous period - 100 to 125 million years ago - before being wiped out.
Called Baidabatyr (from Baidarka, Russian for kayak, boat, and Batyr - a hero), the animal has been identified from a 2,6 mm long tooth discovered in sediments of the Ilek Formation on the Bolshoy Kemchug River in the south of Krasnoyarsk region.
The site is only 5 kilometres from a mysterious necropolis of baby dinosaurs which is of significant interest to palaeontologists.
Stepan Ivantsov, of the Laboratory of the Mesozoic and Cenozoic Continental Ecosystem, at Tomsk State University, said: 'It is hard to estimate size of the animal based on just one tooth, and even harder to speculate on what it could have looked like. We think it was close to the average size of modern-day rodents, perhaps like a hamster.'
The mammal is believed to have had poisonous spurs for protection, like the modern-day platypus and echidna, as this was a typical feature of ancient animals.
Contrary to some reports, Stepan he said: 'Baidabatyr is NOT an ancestor of all currently living plant-eating mammals, but a parallel branch of mammals that doesn't have modern representatives.
'We know that Baidabatyr lived during dinosaurs time, but we are not sure how many million years it lived. Ilek formation refugium where it was found lasted for forty million years.'
Associate professor Pavel Skuchas, of Saint Petersburg State University, said: 'We discovered a very primitive representative of this group.
'It should have lived in the Jurassic period (more than 145 million years ago), but was found in sediments dating back to the beginning of the Cretaceoxs period (100 to 125 million years).'
The creature's existence was announced in the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology.
Baidabatyr's tooth, pictured below, was 2,6 mm long and 1,3 mm wide. Pictures: The Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology.
In-game, they appear as giant rodents the same size as Phiomia that travel in packs of five.
When attacked alone, they quickly flee when attacked, but when attacked in groups of 2 or more or 5 animals, they have the habit of becoming hostile as a group.
Also, maybe because it's pitch black, the eyes are a little big, and there are times when the eyes glow and act like lights.
However, its light is the same as Charge Light and can attack Reapers in groups.
Moreover, when acting in a group, a group buff is given, and an individual with a high level becomes the leader of the group, and when the leader howls, the entire group gains attack power, defense power, speed, and regeneration ability. Grants the buff of the group that has it.
Also, there are many mushrooms in Aberration that grant debuffs, but Baidabatyr can negate those debuffs.
Taming method
This creature loves mushrooms, so it will be passive taming by hand, but only the leader individual can be tamed. It has to be a single unit.
If it becomes single, it will run away, but the player needs to chase it and keep chasing it until it gets tired of running away.
Then, only when you are tired of running away, you can finally hand over the mushrooms to start taming.
In rare cases, there are individuals that act alone, but it is still possible to tame them by hand.
However, there is a risk of being targeted by natural enemies, so it is necessary to confirm that there are no natural enemies around and secure a safe place.
By the way, Baidabatyr's favorite mushroom is Auric Mushroom.
After taming
It can be ridden without a saddle, and two or more of them can form a group, with the higher level individual becoming the leader and granting buffs to the group.
They tend to follow the leader at all times, so you can take down a Carnotaurus with just 5 and a Tyrannosaurus with 10.
Also, by glowing eyes instead of consuming food, the light emitted from the eyes has the same effect as the charge light, so you can kill the reaper without any problems.
Well, I think it's a difficult story with just one, but in terms of stats, it has high food value, stamina, attack power, speed, defense power, and weight. It can be stored for a long time, and it also cuts the weight of items such as Fungal Wood or wood, fiber, stone, metal by up to 75%, making it an excellent carrier. can defeat.
