Hello everyone I introduce to you the magnificent Shringasaurus! 

Now a quick disclaimer, this is NOT a Carnivore, it is a HerbivoreAt first impression it looks like a cross between a Carnotaurus and a Megalania, but the Shringasaurus is actually a herbivore that feeds on the various flora in its habitat. The Shringasaurus lived during the Middle Triassic period, between 247 and 242 million years ago in what is now India. The Shringasaurus is not a dinosaur, it is an extinct genus of the archosauromorph reptiles, and unlike most reptiles, the Shringasaurus was a Warm Blooded organism meaning it was more hyper and active than the more inactive Cold Blooded organisms. The Shringasaurus could generate its own body temperature instead of relying on the environment to regulate body temperature. 

Dossier Text
Wild:

At first, most survivors would easily mistake this fearsome creature for a carnivore, for its resemblance to both the Carnotaurus and Megalania. But in my experience, the Shringasaurus will not give you trouble unless you enter near its territory. I have observed that these beasts are often found near each other in groups, likely as a strategy in the case of larger predator attacks. I have also come to find that the Shringasaurus are sexually dimorphic, with the males possessing larger horns for use in fighting other males to attract a mate. The females posses smaller horns, but are still just as deadly in a fight. 

Domesticated:
The way these creatures are tamed is quite a danger but is well worth the risk for tribes looking for a powerful and agile mount. The Shringasaurus seems to be immune to all forms of narcotics, in fact they seem to like to eat narcotic potent flora. One would need to approach a male with the Cnidarias bio toxin and offer it to the creature. The Shringasaurus would then recognize the survivor and then proceed to attempt to impale them. A prepared survivor would then run away from the Shringasaurus upon a fast mount, you would then need to lead it into trees or rocks while it lunges at you. The impact from these objects will eventually knockout the Shringasaurus where it will then allow you to feed it. To tame a female is different, they seem to be more observant of other creatures and will not fall for tricks. You will have needed to tame a male Shringasaurus and to approach a female and offer it bio toxin. Once the female has acknowledged you, you will need to mount your Shringasaurus and challenge a nearby wild male at a horn fight. The female will remain docile and watch you in your fight. If successful, the female will become impressed and allow you to tame it passively, all other wild Shringasaurus nearby will become docile to your tribe for a while seeing your Shringasaurus as dominant and not to be messed with. The Shringasaurus makes an excellent travel mount due to its high speed and agility as well as its high capability in combat. The Shringasaurus is able to scale cliffs, swim in the ocean, and run at high speeds with excellent turning. 

Additional Notes:

Survivors like to use the Shringasaurus to produce narcotics and other healing pastes, as with its special immune system and enzymes. The Shringasaurus likes to feed on Narcoberries, Tintoberries, and various other Narcotics. The properties of these berries mix with the Shringasaurus special enzymes after digestion creating a paste identical to narcotics and a paste similar to The Rockwell Recipes Medical Brew though not as effective, and useable by other herbivores. This can be useful while you are out if you need to gather certain healing or taming supplies in a pinch. 

Information
 

Behavior:
 

The Shringasaurus is a territorial creature that travels in groups with other Shringasaurus, they are sexually dimorphic which mean the males have larger horns and the females have smaller horns. They are docile in nature but turn aggressive when humans get too close for too long. Male Shringasaurus are aggressive to any survivors who get close and will continue to chase them. Female Shringasaurus are not aggressive and choose to observe for danger, if provoked or you attack another Shringasaurus, they will turn aggressive.

In real life there are certain creatures that produce toxins by stealing it from other poisonous creatures or plants. Jellyfish have their nematocysts harvested by these creatures and reused as toxins. The Shringasaurus also shares this case, it is able to use other venoms or toxins from the animals it kills. It harvests the narcotic or healing properties from certain flora and augments it with its enzymes. It is able to enhance or reuse venom/toxins. They seem to reside in underground forest caves in The Underground World and Floating Island. They feed on berries and like to eat Narcotics or Narcoberries. Their favorite food is Bio Toxin which gives them a bit of an electric kick, they seem to be able to hunt Cnidaria without being affected by their shock attack. 

Taming:

To tame a male Shringasaurus, you will need a fast mount or a mount that is able to avoid getting hit by the Shringsaurus Dash attack. You will then need to put Bio Toxin or Narcotics in your last item bar and run up to a Male Shringasaurus and press E to feed it. You will have 5 seconds to stand near the Shringasaurus before it becomes aggressive, make sure to feed it during those 5 seconds. After it has eaten the narcotic or toxin, it will then acknowledge you and start to attack you with Dash attacks. To knock it out, you will need to make it dash into trees or rocks to inflict torpor on it, it is essential that you have a mount that can outmaneuver it or dodge out of the way when it does its dash attack. Such a good tame would be the Gallimimus to outrun it or the Beelzebufoo to jump out of the way. Trees do less torpor than rocks. Once you have knocked out the Shringasaurus, you can then feed it Narcotics or Bio Toxin to tame it.

To tame a female you will need to have already tamed a male Shringasaurus, you will need to approach a Female Shringasaurus which will probably be keeping an eye on you. Feed it a Bio Toxin or Narcotic and it will initiate a taming bar. There must be a nearby wild male Shringasaurus to initiate the taming bar. Once you have fed the female you will need to mount your Shringasaurus and a single Male Shringasaurus will challenge you. Both males with be locked in a horn wrestling fight where you will need to complete a minigame to win the fight. This will involve either pressing keys or clicking left or right fast enough. If you lose the fight, all the Shringasaurus will attack you, if you win the fight, the female will allow you to passive tame her with Narcotics or Bio Toxin. All other nearby wild males will become docile to you for a long period of time after you win the fight.

Abilities:

The Shringasaurus has various attack abilities and passive abilities. It is able to produce narcotics from having Narcoberries in its inventory, it produces 1 Narcotic per 5 Narcoberries though not as time efficient as crafting Narcotics. It can produce a new item called a healing paste that can be used as a less effective but easy to acquire alternative medical brew. It can be consumed to regain health faster or force fed to other herbivores to regain health similar to how meat can be force fed to carnivores to heal faster. It is still inferior to Medical Brews and Veggie Cakes. It is produced by having Tintoberries in its inventory, producing 1 healing paste per 5 Tintoberries. The Shringasaurus can also produce a shock venom which is produced from having Bio Toxin in its inventory, it produces 1 Shock Venom per 5 Bio Toxin.

The Shringasaurus is able to toggle a venom in combat depending if it has any in its inventory, it can use narcotics from its inventory to deal torpor with its bite attack, it can use Shock Venom to deal a short stun attack on creatures with a cooldown before it can use Shock Venom again (This will not dismount in PvP). It can also use Megalania Toxin or Titanoboa Venom if it happens to have some in its inventory. Megalania Toxin would apply Megarabbies to its victims and Titanoboa Venom would be a stronger torpor attack.

The Shringasaurus has a dash/lunge attack where it propels itself forward horizontally, closing gaps in combat while dealing damage. This attack could also be used to clear trees or rocks out of your way. It also has a bleed/impale horn attack similar to the Carnotaurus. The Shringasaurus is always aware and will not allow enemy flyers from picking you off its saddle, it will hit flyer that tries to pick you with its horns.

Travel:

The Shringasaurus makes an excellent travel mount being a high speed tame with great maneuverability and agility. Being a warm blooded creature, it is more active and agile. It can be outrun by other creatures though such as the Gallimimus. The Shringasaurus is capable of climbing walls similar to a Megalania but not as fast as a Rock Drake. It makes an excellent swimmer in the ocean for exploration and combat. Shringasaurus also has fall damage reduction taking almost no damage from high drops. 

Harvester:

The Shringasaurus can collect berries from bushes, but is unable to collect anything from trees or rocks. It seems to harvest more Narcoberries than the others as it is a picky eater preferring to produce narcotics to use later. The Shringasaurus is also great for harvesting Sillica and Black h when exploring the depths of the ocean, It can either harvest these pearls from deposits or from creatures. The Shringsaurus harvests vast amounts of Bio Toxin from Cnidaria as it is its favorite food, while being immune to the stun and shock affects.

PvE and PvP

The Shringasaurus is a great travel mount, good for combat and closing spaces with its dash attack. It offers protection from enemy flyers, and is not affected by shock attacks from jellyfish in the ocean. It is useful for harvesting silica and black pearls and overall can traverse almost all terrain except flying. Its multiple status affects and ability to toggle venoms makes the player strategize how to use it in combat.

Utility:

The Shringasaurus is a great utility mount making it useful for situations where you forget to bring narcotics, or if you need to regain health in a pinch. Its most unique use is the ability to produce healing pastes to heal other herbivores which can be force fed to them or consumed yourself.

I absolutely love this submission it’s gotta get more attention, maybe you should add like more details onto it like fins since it can go into the ocean. Maybe a Tek saddle too. 
 

It’s like a plant munching carnolania

A tek saddle might not make it since Ark Ascended will be trying to pull away from tek and make it more primitive.  
 

Though I appreciate the feedback
