SauroPogs

[Kbo]

Looks so good

[Doggy171]

The game needs more large herbivores so this should definetly get added to the game

[Thegrasswatcher]

Definetly putting this one at the top! No herbivore has won the WC votes, it's time for a change

[revavroom]

it would be cool if the sails were color regions for mutations

[AValidPoint]

I like this. The design seems similar to the Amargasaurus though.

[Kermit5421]

I would love this

[PrimalNacho]

If the orca doesn’t make it then this is my first pick. We need more sauropods!

[MatryxXx]

good, like dino 

[emaaa]

Look like aurorus love her

[emaaa]

Hope this win

[emaaa]

I choose you 🥺

[Scrymax]

J'ai du mal à voir l'utilité de ce dino, je le trouve trouve un peu trop " basique" 

[0cto]

Punk spike, love it.

[nytee]

A new sauropod would be nice too 🤔

[Magmatic]

Really cool! I love the way they look! Also, the sexual dimorphism feature is awesome!

[Frostraptor]

This thing looks amazing! we need more sauropods. i love the taming methods and abilities, really hope it wins.

[LeDonkaConka]

Like this fellow

[vanyabart]

It's fantastic.

Bajadasaurus Dossier

Species: Bajadasaurus Aquamantisia

Temperament:Territorial

 

Wild

Bajadasaurus Aquamantisia is notorious for its extreme territorial behavior even to the most peaceful of creatures. Most apparent about the Bajadasaurus is that some have Sails along their neck While some have horns because of the species’ sexual dimorphism. When they're not busy running down another creature, bajadasaurus enjoy being in water spending most of their time there but travel back to the jungle when it starts to get dark out.

(extra info,not in dossier)

I have heard numerous stories of the infamous Bajadasaurus Aquamantisia suddenly attacking and causing great damage to villages. These creatures truly are the jack in the box! When they're not busy running down another creature, bajadasaurus enjoy being in water  spending most of their time there but travel back to the jungle when it starts to get dark out. Bajadasaurus are a perfect example of sexual dimorphism; the females are less aggressive and sport 2 neck sails that they flare to frighten oncoming attackers, while the males have an array of spines on their neck. They also release a pheromone that makes them more aggressive when they inflate their neck sac. While the females of the species rarely attack unless provoked first, the males of the species are the polar opposite and even pick fights with rival males or other creatures that get too close, even herbivores!

Taming 

Because of their less aggressive manner, before attacking female Bajadasaurs will flare their sails but will not proceed to attack if you drop them some fiber, after a while hand-feed the female to gain her trust. Although i have seen a tamed Bajadasaurus male its owner did not want to say how one might time this valuable creature.

(extra info,not in dossier)

It is fairly common to see two bajadasaurus males fight and while they won't kill each other, they may leave each other incredibly wounded. However, as I have seen firsthand, this is the only way that one can attempt to befriend them because of their awful temperament. During A clash between two males you must help one outbest the other and after the losing male skitters off  the winning male will follow you, pondering if it needs to attack. At this time you want to feed it some medical brews to take care of those gnarly injuries. Females are much simpler to tame on the other hand, just drop them some fiber , but don’t get too close or they might become weary and attack. After a while they'll be okay with you hand feeding them.

Domesticated

Bajadasaurus specializes in gathering fiber and wood; however, they can crush even the hardest of stones. From quick feet to neck maneuverability, bajadasaurus are shockingly mobile for their size and become even more so after they've had a quick dip in some water. While a great mount to keep around , i'll have to continue to test how to mate bajadasaurs in captivity

(extra info,not in dossier)

An allied bajadasaur are excellent gatherers of fiber and wood, they can even crush the hardest of stones. These creatures are surprisingly mobile for their size and become even more so after they've had a quick dip in some water. During my studies, I've observed that these beasts simply refuse to mate while in captivity…I wonder what's their favored condition for mating.

 

Gameplay

-Can fit into the smaller boss arenas when using the toggle neck mode

- Excellent swimmer

-Saddle Will be placed under the head

-Large Oxygen Stat

-Larger than Amargasaurus but much smaller than the brontosaurus

Spawns

-Shallow Sea water

-streams/Rivers

-Jungles

-Always in groups of 3 (2 females and 1 male,or 1 female and 2 males)

Taming

Female-get close enough to where the female will flare its sails at you then drop it some fiber. At 50% taming you can now hand feed her the fiber and this will give more percentage than just dropping it to her

Male-while two males are fighting, help the male injure the other male that you do not want to tame. When it reaches 20% health it will run off. The winning male will then approach you before attacking if you do not have medical brews in your inventory.If you do have medical brews it will then lean its neck down to drink them.

Breeding

-For some weird reason, tamed bajadasaurudae seem to only want to mate while they're in water. 

-If a bajadasaurus egg is hatched while in water the baby will be granted a permanent buff called “Water Birth” that works similar to imprinting and can be stacked with it. 

-However, be careful to not let the baby drown before the egg hatches!

Sexual dimorphism

-Females lack the neck horns but are adorned with sails that can flare out before they attack or when they feel threatened, when doing this they cause a fear effect by making themselves appear larger.

-Males lack the sails but instead have an array of horns protruding from the neck region. They also have a neck sac that can be inflated, causing the release of a pheromone that enrages the dino for a period of time.

Passive Abilities

-Pressure Dive: The deeper down in the bajadasaur goes the more damage it will do. from 1x at the surface to 1.5x at the lowest point in the ocean

-Accelerates slowly while running

-Hydration buff when in contact with water (similar to spino, increasing speed and damage)

-filled water containers in the inventory activates the hydration buff

-rain activates the hydration buff until it stops raining

-A toggle neck mode allowing the creature to lower its neck to dodge projectiles or fit into places it previously could not fit into.

-immobile turning

Resources/Harvesting

-Cannot harvest berries/seeds

-only eats fiber

-Great wood and fiber gatherer

-can also gather fiber from trees

-Organic polymer can be scraped from skin (similar to leedsichthys)

-drops organic polymer when harvested

-males can harvest rocks with neck spine sweep

-Females can harvest rocks with stomping tantrum

Behaviors

-runs away from a fight when at low health (similar to spino)

-at sunrise groups will leave jungles and go to rivers/lakes/shallow waters. At sunset groups will return back to the jungle

-in the wild it will attack anything thats gets too close to it unless it is bigger than the bajadasaur itself or just a very small creature (this includes herbivores)

-absolutely hates (tamed) amargasaurus and will always try to kill them

-in the wild Females will flare its sails at a creature coming too close, only if it comes even closer then the female will charge and attack the threat

-males just attack anything coming too close with no warning (unless bigger than itself or just too small)

-males may may get into fighting matches where they clash horns, not killing each other but the one with its health lowered to 20% first will run off

-males who just left a fight with each other will become more like the female in terms of aggression (stares down a creature coming too close, only if it comes even closer then the male will charge and attack the threat)

Moveset

Left click-left/right foot stomp

Right click (Female)- Stomping Tantrum: Goes on hind legs then slams down

Right click (Male)- Neck Spine Sweep

Spacebar-Toggle Neck Mode: lowers neck down to shoulder level

C -Tail grab: Can grab small creatures and players (raptor and smaller)

     Right click (while creature in tail)- Downward tail bash

X -(female)- Bellow: sails flare out and causes a fear effect (similar to yuty) on smaller creatures and takes reduced amount of damage when attacked

X -(Male)- Bellow: Neck sac becomes inflated and causes a rage effect on the dino giving it boosted speed and damage output

me recuerda al amargasaurio pero la diferencia de habilidades entre macho y hembra me parece brutal

con estos colore hubiera quedado bien para aberration

[MegaCroissantemance]

I don’t know if it makes sense to give a sauropod, which doesn’t have gills, a damage bonus at the bottom of the ocean. I’d do the opposite or remove it entirely.
