Tweeezs Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 (edited) Concept by Tweee, JimmyYeet123 and friends, art by the amazing RiskyBiscuits! I introduce the Nothosaurus lucidus! This marine reptile can be found in the oceans and beaches in the center in packs from 2 to 5 individual with their razor sharp teeth and high mobility paired in a pack is a dangerous sight. Nothosaurus can be found laying on the surface on their backs or hunting for any fish that swims near. The nothosaurus has a dull color and pattern but when the nothosaurus warms up in the sun this will change in a deep black with beautiful bioluminescent patterns! After a day the warmth will decrease and when not warmed up your nothosaurus won’t have as much stamina and strength but the only thing you have to do is place it in the hot sun of the arks to charge them up and not let them go in snowy biomes as the snow might be too much. The nothosaurus has a sack on his throat that it uses to scoop up fish to save for later and when tamed can be used as a fishing basket! The nothosaurus does have another trick up it’s sleeve as when using the heat of its body it can make the water in his sack boiling hot! This makes your notho a mobile cooking pot and you can cook your food in here aswell as craft! If your not feeling crafty the boiling water can also be used as a weapon. Choose between the settings and shoot a beam, rapid fire or when on land a mist cloud that will blind creatures. SPECIAL ITEM: The nothosaurus also has a new item, a glow dye that can be applied to armor. Notho Buffs/effects and abilities Nothosaurus has a pack buff Speed of a sarco on land breaching the surface of the water will briefly propel you forward with a fast pace and will give you a 5 second speed boost but this does drain lots of stamina the boiling water can be used to penetrate armor when Nothos are in packs (in groups of 4+) , they will have a pack roar that gives a fear debuff to sea creatures that confuses them and makes them easier to kill in a group, allowing them to handle the ocean caves of the arks! it when in packs, also doesnt dismount you when attacked by a jellyfish Boiling mist: on land notho will spit out a piping hot mist that will blind foes. Boiling beam: this beam will do a chain of damage and will give you the new status effect, SCALDED this will nullify armor of creatures and survivors by 50% Boiling shots: these will work like rapid fire and can be used to stack up a lesser scalding nullifying armor by 5% every shot. (I know the font is different) [Possible other abilities] The nothosaurus has a strong tail with rather strong fibers on them. When brushes against solid rock static electricity will gather up with the tail puffing up to deal shocking blows to your enemies! This effect will rapidly give your opponents shocks in a span of 60 seconds. Shocksurge this effect lasts a minute and will deal a chain of shocks to a opponent slowing them down. Nothosaurus will glow red when a alpha is near and yellow when a max level is near. Increased pearl gathering Taming: To tame a notho you need to kill it’s pack whereafter it will go passive drop a pearl this can either be a black pearl or silca pearl. Nothosaurus will pick it up to do a pearl check if it doesn’t like it it will drop it and you wil have to wait. If it does like it it will start playing this is the time to go up to it to feed it tuso tentacles! Rinse and repeat In the inventory a exclusive item can be made this item is BIO DYE this will be made by mixing bio spit and your dye of choice This will give your creatures or armor a nice glow that looks great and shines in the dark! Because of the spit mixed with water in its boiling sack you are perfectly able to shoot underwater as the substance is thicker than water itself I hope you like this creature! It will be both good on land and in water giving you great pve choices and making the oceans a bit more interesting with this creatures menacing deep sea appearance! Dossier is a WIP and credits to Riskybiscuits the creator of fasolasuchus for the amazing art! Below is old Legacy design (please give us your thoughts on which one you perfer) Edited August 14, 2023 by Tweeezs 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothosaurus has a pack buff Buff against anything fishy this includes every fish accept dunkleo. Speed of a sarco on land Dossier Text: (incomplete) When diving in the seas normally survivors would be expecting a swarm of dangers coming at them. But this isn’t the case for the tartuosteus risus, this bony fish can be seen drifting around the reefs of the center filtering microorganisms out of the arks ocean and sometimes crushing shelled creatures like trilobites or euryupterids with their large bony tail! Whit their docile nature there is no reason to be scared of this creature as they are probably the most positive creature I encountered in my journeys!

MercRising Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 I posted the same upvote so I deleted mine and voted yours bro. Just wanted to share what I wrote in my original post below. Cheers I hope this wins. It’s doing well so far. So this dossier isn’t mine and this isn’t the first time this creature has been up to vote. Dossier credit goes to https://www.deviantart.com/umbra-daiwrfol/art/Dino-dossier-Nothosaurus-945498523. This is my take on the Nothosaurus. The creature would be perfect for the Center map given all the water it has. I would want the ark creative team to run wild on this one and leverage Ludroth and Lagiacrus (minus the cobra hood) from a visual perspective. I think of this creature as a water drake or a Buru from Indian mythology (read up on it) appearance wise. Even though it is a real life creature. Ark devs will definitely put their own creativity on the look of it just like the Fasolasuchus. Abilities would include the following (not expecting all these ideas of course but ark team select the ones you like): Siren call to bring creatures close to the waters edge. Ability to drag prey into the water and drown it Electric shock like eel and jellyfish when in water or can be applied on land only when a creature is being gripped by the drag move. Cooldown on it of course, lasts longer depending on stamina. Jump out of water ability like a dolphin. Jumps higher than the basilo. Extremely fast and manoeuvrable swimmer much like the Desmo in the air can go in any direction. Good movement on land about as fast at a kapro or if that’s to OP slow it to the speed of a Sarco. No oxygen meter able to breath water. Same goes for rider when riding. Tail whip attack with knockback. Tailwhip in water stuns like the baryonyx. Sonar in water like bats echolocation. Immune to electro stun from eel and jelly. When in water could generate salt in its inventory as well like a marine iquana. Size of a rock drake. Tame by stealing eggs from an under water cave on the center or stealing eggs when it goes on shore to lay them like a sea turtle. Wait till eggs hatch and try and reach the water. Passively feed the babies but when you feed it creatures around go into a frenzy and attack the baby (like it ate a rare flower). You have to protect it until it reaches the water. Once it does it’s tamed. Again I would like it to move and resemble a ludroth or lagiacrus from monster hunter. Really wanted this creature the first time it came up in the vote and it seems all you did as well because it was in the top 10. Let’s make it happen for the center. Thanks for listening and thanks to the guy who originally created the dossier. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EDGYDROMAEOSAURID Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Wow really love the details you went with it being in its natural environment very akin to sea otters with the whole laying on its back gig I personally would love to see more aquatics and I do think notho has the potential to brighten the seas up a bit. Really only one criticism I face with this one and that's the whole static electricity tail stun thing way too similar to baryonyx, if you are still going with some kind of tail ability maybe something that works like this: When exposed to warmth for abit of time similarly to the boiling pot ability it can transfer its warmth to its tail spines allowing it to scorch enemies (works like fire breath for wyvs but less damage and has a steam effect rather than a fire effect) I'll let you choose how long that lasts. Besides that overall really like this one the heating Abilities and bio Spit (speaking of that since it's sticky and mucus like i was thinking maybe it can be sticked onto animals with water buffs to make their buffs last wayyy longer) really nice touch without being insanely op it might be a Lil too much for some but not me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
