Suggestion

Gorgonopsid, the blood hound
Species: Inostrancevia Gorgonopsid
Time: Late Permian
Diet: Carnivore
Temperament: Aggressive

Wild: Native to the volcanic island and burnt island, Inostrancevia Gorgonopsid is a powerful predator similar in size to the thylacoleo. However unlike the marsupial lion, this grogon isn't addapted to climbing, being instead more adapted to tracking injured prey with their amazing sense of smell. This sense of smell seems to let Gorgonopsids not only track potential prey but give them information on how injured the prey is while letting them keep track of its location no mater how far they may have gone.

 With this powerful tool, Gorgonopsids are unique in the fact they will target larger carnivores then they usually would if they are injured enough, weather wild or tamed. This makes Gorgonopsids a nightmare for survivors on injured mounts on the burned habitats they inhabit as your best option is to run and hope the Gorgonopsid finds a more tasty meal or to swim as these predators do not seem to be well adapted to swimming.

Domesticated: With such a powerful sense of smell many tribes tame Gorgonopsids and being decently strong and agile mounts for their size they make for a good mount to run around the islands of the center so long as you can avoid swimming which is possible thanks to their surprisingly good jumping abilities allowing it to jump over the rivers that separate the main islands of the center. However their main appeal is their powerful sense of smell, allowing those who tame Gorgonopsid to not only track and identify the strength of wild creatures but also tamed animals, making it an amazing animal for tamers and for scouts.

 

To domesticate one of these beasts however may be counter intuitive for those who are not familiar with them. With their powerful sense of smell the best way to tame one is too use a rare flowers scent, which normally aggravates nearby creatures, to mellow down a nearby Gorgonopsid as they seem to enjoy the smell. This makes taming these very dangerous due to the neighbouring wildlife as you will have to feed them while the scent of the flower covers you to avoid being attacked by the Gorgonopsid.

creatures in game name: Gorgonopsid

base stats:

800 hp

500 stam

100 oxygen

1300 food

500 weight

50 base damage on bite.

 

abilities:

primary fire:50 damage bite

secondary fire: mark scent, aim and release right click to mark a creatures scent allowing you to track them and to see their stats like hlna would show

jump button of choice: jump that can be charged up by holding.

tertiary ability: cosmetic roar

 

Tldr: thyla sized carnivore with hlna stat reading ability and the ability to track down creatures by marking their scent, wild or tamed. Good jump for mobility. Tame by eating rare flowers and then passive tame it while trying not to die. Fits well with the centre as this creature is one of the few confirmed who did not make it into the game and it'd be nice to add it with an og map like the center.
