Wild; Vulcanops jennyworthyae can oftentimes be seen hanging from cliffs and the cave ceilings of Aberration. They are commonly seen hunting insects and foraging for plant material to eat. Some Vulcanops have even been sighted burrowing beneath the rock and surfacing with rare trinkets such as gems, old materials, and even shards of Element. Their resonant echolocations can also be used to ward off some of the more sensitive predators of the Ark.
Domesticated; Domesticated Vulcanops make for amazing pets. Although not large enough to carry a rider in flight, Vulcanops are big enough to allow Survivors to use them as a makeshift glider and rock climbing equipment, soaring through the open air and allowing the Vulcanops to carry them up any cliff sides they come across. But more than that, Vulcanops have also been used as sentries, using their high-pitched Sonic Booms to disorient smaller predators or ward off Reapers and Rock Drakes with their sensitive hearing. They can also use echolocation to locate cloaked creatures, and pass that knowledge on to their Survivors or any allied Dinosaurs.
Behavior -
Vulcanops jennyworthyae can oftentimes be seen flying around the open caverns of Aberration, hunting small insects or foraging underground for Plant Species Z seeds. They find Survivors curious, and as such will follow them around for a short time period if they come across them, much like an Ichthyosaurus.
Drops -
Raw Meat, Hide, Fur
Taming -
The only way to tame a Vulcanops jennyworthyae is to find one burrowing and when it comes up to feed it Plant Species Z seeds
Utility -
Vulcanops jennyworthyae is primarily used as a piece of mobile utility. The Vulcanops will sit on your back as opposed to your shoulder, allowing you to bring along a Light Pet, and will extend its wings to allow you to glide around. Climbing will see the Vulcanops extend the claws on its wings to grip the stone, and haul the player up in jumping bursts. This allows the player to use weapons and is directed as normal with the Climbing Pick.
Abilities;
Primary Attack; Bite. The Volcanops will bite the target inflicting small damage
Secondary Attack; Sonic Boom. The Volcanops will release a sonic wave that deals medium damage in a cone for a short range which will also stun any creature of similar or lesser size. Can also stun creatures with sensitive hearing such as Reapers and Rock Drakes (assuming they have sensitive hearing lol) but for a shorter duration. (Think Baryonyx Stun)
Passive; Burrow. A tamed Vulcanops can be commanded to burrow on cooldown, which can yield various results. These include items such as Crystals, Gems of any color, equipment (low durability and low-mid quality), Plant Species Z seeds, etc. They will also do this periodically in the wild.
