ANOMALOCARIS
-----------------------------------------------------

BEHAVIOR
Anomalocaris is a passive creature that spends its time in shallow ocean waters ( think of the east archipelago or the lava islands ) most of its time is spent dredging through the sand using its podomeres (those tentacles by its mouth) which kicks up a rich sand cloud, various resources and its preferred prey: Trilobites. When it finds a trilobite the Anomalocaris grabs it, cracks open its shell, and slurps out its delicious meat inside, however the trilobite is the only creature that the Anomalocaris gives any cares about.

TAMING

Anomalocaris is a simple tame and it would prove useful in early game and in late game, as stated before, the taming process is simple. A player simply needs to throw chitin and raw meat in the path of the Anomalocaris while its dredging for food, this works because Anomalocaris isn't the smartest of creatures and it believing that the player has given it a trilobite to eat.

MOBILITY

For what it is, Anomalocaris is pretty speedy in the water it can beat an itchy in a race but mantas are quite a bit faster, to reach these speeds Anomalocaris extends its podomeres to use them as hydrofoils.

OXYGEN SUPPLY

Similar to Diplocaulus, Anomalocaris has a supply of oxygen that gets trapped under its flipper plates and in its podomeres that can be accessed and used by players who are riding it, this oxygen supply is replenished any time the Anomalocaris exits the water

BEACHING

Anomalocaris is able to beach itself on the land for storage and to replenish its oxygen reserves, it does not dry out on the land and it is able to move however it is very slow and cannot attack while on the land.

DREDGING

as mentioned above Anomalocaris is an earlygame and a lategame tame, Dredging is where its lategame utility comes in to paly. When set to wander Anomalocaris will bury its podomeres into the ground and start moving around throught the sediments, the items that Anomalocaris pulls out of the ground is determined by the elevation that it is dredging at which is spilt into 4 different regions.
Surface
near the surface of the ocean such as a beach Anomalocaris is able to find resources that are useful for earlygame, the list of items is: Chitin, Stone, Thatch, Raw Fish, and Metal.
Deep Water
this area is found near the middle of the ocean, not at the sea floor but still a ways from the surface, here Anomalocaris will dredge up items useful for midgame the list of resources is: Cementing Paste, Raw Fish, Metal, Silicate (that one resource from extinction) and Obsidian.
Abyssal
The Center's oceans are very deep and here is where Anomalocaris is able to get many untapped resources, and the list of those is: Silicate, Obsidian, Black Pearls, Raw Prime Fish, Raw Fish, Metal, and rare element dust.
Mountain
There are quite a few small lakes found in the higher parts of the map, but the main spot to dredge would be the big lake of the center island, dredging here will give you: Organic Polymer, Cementing Paste, Raw Meat, Raw Prime Meat, and Metal.

WHY?
Anomalocaris marks an important point in the evolution of life as it was the largest creature for its time and its widely seen as the first apex predator, its also been a creature I've wanted to see in game for a long time.

BASING IN REALITY

A recent study has shown that Anomalocaris wasnt able to crunch down on trilobites too easily, instead its podomeres were used as hydrofoils for bursts of speed and agility.

thank you for reading :)
