Welcome survivors, thank you for visiting our proposal !
 
The Red Panda is a beautiful creature and very loved by people, especially on the internet, personally it is my favorite animal and I would like this friendly creature to our Ark universe, here is an idea of how it can be implemented on the Aberration map, please consider supporting our creature as it will help to have a better quality of life for all players, either for PVP or PVE.
 
For our version of Ark we will use the closest and most extinct relative of the current Red Panda; I'm talking about Pristinailurus Bristoli.
Most of the time I have invested has been in official servers, much of this time is invested in the theme of breeding and care of babies, either to prepare an army for the bosses, for mutations or simply for use in the world of Ark, breeding is an essential element of the game and a fundamental pillar in the theme of advancing in the game, grow and get the desired Tek.
 
Pristinailurus Bristoli will be your ideal companion for breeding, their friendly and playful behavior, they are the ideal companion to take care of your hatchlings, imprint them and even help with mutations !
 
It's time we have a creature that is important for breeding, as much as the Maewing, to give life to the best map of Ark: Aberration, and what better than a friendly Red Panda, curious and playful for this task, an ideal shoulder companion to use when you are breeding your creatures.
 
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
 
Common Name: Red Panda
Species: Pristinailurus Bristoli
Time: Late Miocene
Diet: Omnivore
Temperament: Curious/Friendly
 
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
 
Habitat:
This friendly creature would be counted in the fertile area near the most wooded parts of the place, centered mostly in the portal area where we all usually appear for the first time in this map, this is to help less experienced people to get this creature.
It can also appear in the blue area of the map, but in smaller quantities, being a creature that is not fighter is easy prey for predators such as Nameless, Raptors, etc.
 
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
 
Domestication:
Pristinailurus Bristoli is friendly and playful in nature, after finding one of these Pandas, its way of domestication will be in a passive way, but unique.
To tame a Red Panda we must live with him, the creature will approach you in a curious way if you are close to its range of interaction (very similar to the Ferox when it approaches you when you have element in your inventory) this creature will try to play with you, it will make pirouettes, spins and jumps to get your attention, if you spend too much time near it, it will enable the taming asking for a caress, similar to the Hyaeodon, this is to start the taming process.
 
During this process, the Red Panda will do a series of cute and playful animations, until he asks you for the next interaction, now instead of a petting we will have to give him a food of the player's choice if the Panda asks for it (the best would be kibble, honey, prime meat, etc) or doing some funny gesture or animation of our character (dances work quite well).
After feeding the Panda (or any interaction it asks for), its taming bar will go up and you will have to repeat this action until you tame it, keep in mind that the Red Panda may move away from you as it is a very sociable creature, after eating, it will move a bit away from your area, make sure you are within its range of vision so it will come back to you.
Once tamed, you can carry it on your shoulder like any other creature of this category (Otter, Ferox, Sinomacrops, etc).
 
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
 
Skills:
 
Pristinailurus Bristoli is 100% focused on improving the quality of life of Ark breeders, especially the x1 official server players who have invested like me, thousands and thousands of hours breeding our favorite creatures, developing mutation chains, or searching for colors in the different regions of the creatures.
Whether for the experienced breeder coming from Ark Survival Evolved, or for the newbie starting his adventure in Ark, Pristinailurus Bristoli will be your best friend for breeding.
This creature is the ideal companion for your hatchlings, as it will take care of them by adding the imprint of the owner of the creature (the Red Panda must have the common foods in its inventory that are requested during the imprints, berries, prime meats, etc) it has the ability to give cuddles to other creatures to continue the imprint making the life of the officer player easier, that in these times, it is increasingly difficult to stay long watching how a baby grows and ask for imprint every 8 hours.
 
Combining the Maewing with Pristinailurus Bristoli will be the dynamic duo for breeding !
 
Pristinailurus Bristoli can help you with mutations ! but slow and passive collecting is required.
 
Leaving the Red Panda roaming in a safe area, especially near bushes and vegetation allows it to generate a unique item (similar to the Desmodus elixir) a consumable that can be given to females to stimulate X% chance of getting a mutation (I suggest an edible insect or a berry), this will help now that we will be starting over in Ark Survival Ascended, as there will be no top creatures but it will also help players looking to get their own mutations.
 
Either because they like to play alone, or because they play in a local game, this will not replace the original mechanic of getting mutations, and it does not ensure that the mutation will appear in some stat of your interest, but with this I hope it will help to reduce the amount of creatures that you have to use to get the low percentage of appearance when it exceeds 20 mutations, improving the stability of the official servers, by not having 300 females in a giant structure causing lag and graphical load.
 
Carrying Pristinailurus Bristoli on your shoulder gives you hypothermic insulation, as Aberration is a very hot map for most players, carrying it on your shoulders will help regulate your temperature and you will not lose life due to the heat.
 
To have a balance with this creature, you can limit the amount you can have in the zone or tribe, just like a standard or taxidermy platform will have a limited amount of these creatures to not abuse the ability of mutations, somehow I trust that Studio Wildcard can put brakes on this creature so that its use is not abusive, this thought for PVP people, the idea is that this creature improves the quality of life of the players, but will not replace 100% your presence in breeding.

This would be all for the moment, any suggestions are welcome and comments that help to improve the concept will be very appreciated, I will update this post confirming that information should be added and to improve the idea that I want to express with this creature, let's make the Red Panda a reality in Ark ! thank you very much for your support !

I love the idea of having a relative of the current red panda and I am fascinated by the abilities that this animal could have, an idea to make it more fun is that it can intimidate nameless or smaller creatures, rising with its two hind legs in addition to providing light and protection against gases or poisons from fungi or thrown by a Reaper or Basiliscus.

Felicitaciones por la criatura,  ojala ganes

Sin embargo si me permito sugerir, seria genial que si llevas la criatura en el hombro, te de el efecto 100% de impronta sobre el Dino que estés montado, aun si es que este no fue improntado Incluyendo tameados, criados o que te hayan regalados

Además si juegas o interactúas con el, cerca de tus hembras de crianza aumentaría las probabilidades de mutación

Y si juegas o interactúas con el cerca de tus crías, aumente el porcentaje de impronta

Por lo demas, al ser una criatura de Aberration debe ser un dino de luz

Didn't we just get the Gigantoraptor? I understand if Wildcard royally messes up the Gigantoraptors concept the way they just slapped acid on the Fasolasuchus, clearly not knowing what to do with it, and calling it a day, but we should wait and at least see if they even give it the breeding utility that people voted for and then decide if we should vote this creature in.

I have no problems, honestly, with the creature even if it's not the best fitting with the theme of Aberration. The reason is that I myself imagine them as being the perfect Rare creature to spawn in the thicker regions of the Green Zone, where they could either be found climbing high on Mushroom trees or the Redwood trees that can be found there, which perfectly pairs with the irl red pandas amazing climbing abilities. Safely away from predators.

I'm curious what size you imagine them being. Whether that's from Shoulder Pet size to something around a Parasaur or even a Roll Rat. This would impact what niche and uses it has besides only breeding and how easily it is to move it or keep it safe from predators. Or if it's able to defend itself and you or other dinos.

Our reference we have the Otter, Dilos, Sabertooth, Thylas and Roll Rats for size estimates. If it's a shoulder pet it would likely be found in a similar way to the skittish Archaeopteryx and probably serve the role of a base qol assistant. If it's the size of a Dilo it can have a few more use possibilities and also would be able to have slightly better stats for survival than the shoulder Pets. It might even be capable of carrying a single baby on its back like a piggyback.

Sabertooth sized it could become rideable, but I'd rather not. At this size it's able to manage taking care of babies at a more reasonable scale other than it essentially being the momma ferret of the underground.

Once it's the size of a Thyla it starts getting into the territory of medium sized creatures that can either defend themselves fine or not very well compared to the others in the same size class. I don't believe it needs this and becomes too much like the aforementioned Thyla. Even occupying the same areas and spawning place as them in the trees.

While I personally do enjoy the idea of a large rideable one the size of a medium sized dinosaur I really think it would upset the balance of climbing and mobility progression in Aberraiton so I'm not sure that can be justified.
