Hello everyone! This is my first time posting an ark creature for the vote. I now present to you the Eophyllium the Mighty Leaf Insect. Eophyllium is an extinct monotypic genus of the Phasmatodea, a type of insect ancestral to the modern Phylliidae. These insects mimic the shape of leaves for camouflage, with a single species, Eophyllium messelensis Since aberration is a non-flyer map and rich in different types of creatures, I came up with a unique creature that doesn’t exist in ark, yet, which is a camouflaging leaf insect. I got bored of big lizards that can rival gigas with super OP abilities and ark need more diverse and unique, so I came up with a unique creature that can fit very well in the aberration map considering the environment and the creatures that inhabit the biome.
Basic Info
Common Name: Mighty Leaf Insect
Species: Eophyllium Messelensis
Time: Eocene
Diet: Herbivore
Temperament: Aggressive
Wild:
Eophyllium Messelensis is an oversized leaf insect that has adapted to the harsh environment it lives in. It mostly lives in the fertile region but sometimes can be found in the Bio Luminescence region too. Because of this, the Eophyllium’s adapted to the area and developed new abilities like multi-coloured glowing body to emit some light in darkness using leaf branch like veins and able to climb surface of rocks. Females can’t fly but can camouflage according to the environment. Males have forewings, can camouflage, spread its wings to glide and latch on to surfaces, glowing forewings with leaf branch like veins. Its active camouflage helps it to stalk its enemies or to flee from them undetected. Eophyllium’s strongly dislike nameless and reapers and will become aggressive upon seeing them.
Domesticated:
Aside from its camouflaged ability, tamed Eophylliums that consumed mushrooms can spread a gas around itself, deals an Area of Effect that damage, immune to radiation, hydration or healing depends on the mushroom consumed. These mighty leaf insects can also switch places with dinos whether it's an ally dino or enemy dino. Riders of Eophylliums can Camouflage to blend with structures along with them.
Behaviour:
Found mainly in the fertile region and sometimes in the bio-luminescent region. They are not aggressive to humans but will attack if provoked or upon stealing their eggs.
They are very aggressive towards rock drakes, reapers and nameless.
Eophylliums are very difficult to be spotted and if spotted near the area one must not disturb them at any cost.
Females are unable to glide but males can glide using their forewings.
Appearance:
Eophylliums are large creatures with similar size as the Rock Drakes.
Female (multicoloured veins across its body) male (multicoloured veins across its body, forewings and antennas), which emits some light.
They can glow in the dark with their leaf branch like veins.
In their camouflaged state, one can see them blended with the texture it's in to identify them.
They can't glow when they're in their camouflaged state.
Females are slightly larger than males.
Utility
Abilities:
Camouflage: [C] - To toggle camouflage on/off
Primary Attack: - Upon clicking or holding the left mouse button, Eophylliums will use simple bite that deal decent amount of damage
Secondary Attack: Upon clicking or holding the right mouse button, the Eophyllium will uses both hands to rapidly slashes its enemy few times. They can also use weapons such as Stone Pick, Stone Hatchet, Metal Sickle, Wooden Club and sword with its hands to attack its enemy or to farm resources. They can also wield a torch to navigate darkness as their glowing body is not bright enough to emit strong light source.
Jump: [Spacebar] - Female Eophylliums can jump from ledges to ledges while males can jump and glide to certain distance using its forewings.
Passive - Reduced Fall Damage - Eophylliums takes little to no fall damage. They're able to fall from great heights without sustaining much injury thanks to their strong supporting legs and light weight body.
Special Attack: [X] - Upon clicking and holding the “X” button, a round cursor will appear in the middle of the screen which can only be used on dinos. The ability is where the Eophyllium can switch its place with any dino the cursor points at. It can be used to flee from enemy or can be helpful when fighting.
Special Attacks and Abilities
Mushrooms acts as a boost for the Eophylliums
(Mushrooms needed)
Special Attack: [Z] - Upon consuming certain mushrooms, Eophylliums create a special gas around itself which have special abilities depends on the mushroom consumed. The mushrooms need to be in the inventory of the leaf insect to use its special abilities.
Auric Mushroom
Reduces radiation damages and immune to radiation sickness
Ascerbic Mushroom
Releases narcotic gas that increase topor of enemy dinos ( ifthe enemy dino is near the leaf insect, will increase its topor)
Provide immunity to element biome
Aquatic Mushroom
Releases mist gas that hydrate player and immune to poison
Aggeravic Mushroom
Creates healing gas that heals player, itself and nearby allied dinos
Advantages
Regeneration (Aggeravic mushroom)
Immune to radiation (Auric mushroom)
Narcotic gas that increases topor of enemy dinos (Ascerbic mushroom)
Hydration (Aquatic mushroom)
Riders of Eophylliums can Camouflage along with them
Able to wield weapons with hands for fighting or for farming (using Stone Pick, Stone Hatchet, Metal Sickle, Wooden Club, Sword and Torch)
Able to switch places with enemy and allied dinos
x 2 for farming Aggeravic, Auric, Ascerbic, Aquatic mushrooms
Increased spoil time for mushrooms in inventory (3 hours)
Resource gatherer (using Stone Pick, Stone Hatchet, Metal Sickle)
- 20% for (Stone, Metal, Obsidian)
Can climb wall
Males can glide using forewings
Egg thief
Disadvantages
Females unable to fly, only way of escaping is Camouflage or switching places
They can only switch places with dinos in a certain radius. If the dino is too far away from their switchable radius, the ability will not work.
Switching ability doesn’t work on bosses
Despite the aggressiveness, they are slightly weaker than Reapers in combat.
Even when camouflaged, nameless and reapers still spots them easily
Eophylliums have high DPS but medium health pool, this makes it need to consume a lot more mushrooms during battle.
When holding a torch, secondary attack doesn't work.
Taming
Wild Eophylliums cannot be tamed, to obtain a tamed Eophyllium the player must feed the female Eophyllium mushrooms. The player must put the appropriate mushrooms in the 0 hot bar key and approach a female Eophyllium to feed it. Once fed first time, there will be a process bar above it which will display egg laying duration. Players need to keep feeding it until the bar is full. During each feed, the Eophyllium will play an animation and will release a gas depends on the mushroom consumed. If the players are too close to the female during this time, they will try to hunt you, so it's better to get some distance after feeding each time. After successfully feeding it, the bar will be full, it will play an animation and an egg will be dropped by the female. Once the player gets the egg, the Eophylliums surrounding the area will get alerted and will try to take you down.
Upon receiving the egg, the player must hatch it to get a baby Eophyllium. The baby Eophyllium only consumes mushrooms until their juvenile state, after the juvenile state can feed berries and meat. Adults can be mated but there're 2 possibilities. If the player got themself a female Eophyllium, because they are parthenogenetic, which means females can shift between sexual and asexual reproduction. If a raised female hasn't mated with a male before laying eggs, she produces eggs parthenogenetically where the embryos develop from unfertilised eggs, and females give birth to more females. The baby that hatched with asexual reproduction will be the clone of its mother. To obtain a male, the player must successfully get an egg from the wild that gives a male.
