The Zheny i imagine takes on our modern day peacocks looks, specifically regarding the long tail feathers or "plumage" and the very colorful feathers over the body, and rather than only displaying for mating or intimidation like modern peafowl
the Zheny uses its luminescent fanning of plumage to hypnotize and lure in its prey, a lot like the Mesmer in Subnautica, those who fall prey to the mesmerizing effects of its gorgeous light show, find themselves unable to move as the Zheny slowly creeps towards its victim to begin eating it alive
(Females use sound to hypnotize since they have no plummage like males)
both genders of Zheny look different just like the modern day peafowl
Males: Will have longer tail feathers, and a larger frame
Females: Will have Shorter Tail feathers, but more head crest feathers than the male

2. Dossier Common name: Zhenyuanlong
Species: Zhenyuanlong Suni
Time: Early Cretaceous
Diet: Carnivore
Temperament: Aggressive
Wild : Zhenyuanlong Suni is quite possibly one of the most stunning animals I have ever laid my eyes on. Its hypnotically beautiful feather display is sure to send anything, man or beast, into a trance. The male Zhenyuanlong seem to be fully aware of their beauty status, as they obsessively try to maintain their pristine appearance. They can even be seen using the reflection of the water to look at themselves. If you play your cards right, you might be able to use this to your advantage!
Domesticated: If one can manage to pull a male Zheny away from the mirror, it can prove to be quite the good companion. Not only can it use its beautiful tail fan to put similarly sized creatures into a hypnotic trance, but it seems to be the only way to obtain a female Zheny! Female Zhenyuanlong seem to be unaffected by standard tranquilizers, and the reflection method doesn’t seem to work on them either. This would have to be my best guess as to how someone would obtain one. One unusual quirk of the Zheny is their affinity for crystals. I’ve been unable to pinpoint the exact reason they collect these crystals, but I would guess it would have to do with their courtship ritual.
3. Abilities/Controls
Passive: Speed and damage are major categories in this creature's abilities, Zheny has lightning-fast turning based on how much acceleration it gets, it can dive down and slide on the surface of the ground almost like you're skiing or drifting, a lot like the andrewsarchus!
Space/A/X: Potential for flight or a regular jump
Left Click/RT/R2 is a basic bite dealing about the same damage as a max level Raptor would do
Right Click/LT/L2 is a claw attack dealing bleed as well as harvesting crystal with its sharp claws
CTRL/RS/R3 is the Hypnotic Display
(will work on survivors and wild, mounted or unmounted tames no bigger than shadowmane)
the display would light up one eye at a time from the body to the tip of the feather and repeating, minecraft video linked at the end for the example
for the light show, the zheny requires gems or crystal in its inventory when tamed, crystal is like feeding raw meat, green is like prime, blue is like mutton and red is like kibble(value of each basically)
if not the light show idea then slowly waving the feathers left to right
The only ways to resist the Hypnotic effects is
A: Have it run circles around you causing it to make itself dizzy
or
B: to have a tribemate hurt you or have a loud sounding object such as a cannon or loud gun, to snap you out of the trance
from there on, you may begin to run away or trap your potential Zheny
if you dont have a tribemate, and you have the Zheny you want, make sure to place a small bear trap in front of you, and as its walking towards you while your in trance, the trap will snap, distracting the Zheny long enough to stop displaying
and let you run or trap it to tame
4. Taming
Male Taming Method:
The Zheny LOVES the way it looks, so the only true way to tame it, is quite a lot like medusa, make it look into a mirror, so bring multiple, and while its attempting to hypnotize you, it will take a look into the mirror, and hypnotize itself
from there, it will continue its display until its Luminescent feathers end up shattering the mirror, breaking its own trance, this will bring its taming bar up to anywhere from 10% to 20% per mirror, depends on the health of the mirror and what level the Zheny is
eventually, it'll obey your every command
Female Method:
The only way to tame a female Zheny is by using your Male Zheny to "court" the females in the surrounding area, normally spawning in groups of 2 or 3, once you have isolated the female you want, display those feathers, every 10%-20% tamed,
she will try to attack you or flee, do not fight back or run, and do not give chase, if you attempt to run, she will see your male as a coward and ignore your attempts at taming for about 10 minutes IRL time, if you fight back, same results as running
crystals or gems are required to mate as well, crystal is like feeding raw meat, green is like prime, blue is like mutton and red is like kibble(value of each basically)
5. Wiki info+Links
Zhenyuanlong (meaning "Zhenyuan's dragon", from Chinese Pinyin 龙/龍 lóng "dragon") is a genus of dromaeosaurid dinosaur from the Yixian Formation of Liaoning, China.
It lived during the Aptian age of the early Cretaceous period, approximately 125 million years ago. It is known from a single specimen belonging to the species Zhenyuanlong suni.
This type specimen preserved a nearly complete skeleton that contains traces of feathers, including long tail feathers and large wings. In addition to further complicating diversity of Liaoning dromaeosaurids,
this specimen provides the first evidence of well-developed pennaceous feathers in a large, non-flying dromaeosaur, raising the question of what function such wings would serve.
Zhenyuanlong would have been about 165 centimetres (5.41 ft) long when complete. With the added length of long tail feathers, the animal was perhaps up to 2 metres (6.6 ft) in life.
