INFORMATION:

They are very reserved birds, considered extinct in the real world just over 50 years ago. The only universally accepted record of this species is a 1956 video produced by the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology.

APPEARANCE:

Males have a red forelock, usually used to attract the attention of females. They are the largest woodpeckers known to mankind, reaching up to 60 cm in height, in addition to a powerful and sharp beak. They are very beautiful birds.

WILD:

Imperial woodpeckers are common in Redwood, where they spend the day pecking its huge trees in search of food. Its pecks can be heard from afar, echoing throughout the biome. They are quite skittish, if a player approaches them, they immediately run away. They don't usually get into fights, unless it's to protect their nests embedded inside the trees. The predator that dares to approach the nest can be prepared for an extremely fast and ferocious attack from several imperial woodpeckers, as they fight to the last for the protection of their young. Most impressive of all is the symbiotic relationship that this animal has developed with the thylacoleo. Both species coexist in perfect harmony, with the woodpecker feeding on the meat residues found in the thylacoleo's teeth.
It is common to see imperial woodpeckers hanging from the mouths of wild thylacoleo.
In return for service rendered, thylacoleo provide protection to imperial woodpecker nests, making it very difficult for players to collect their eggs.

 

DOMESTICATED:

Imperial Woodpeckers make excellent tames. They usually stay on the shoulders of their handlers. They are very popular because they have the same ability as otters, to carry artifacts, in addition to passively collecting resources, which greatly facilitates survival in the ark. Furthermore, due to their relationship with the thylacoleo, carrying one on your shoulder guarantees protection against the Redwood's most feared predator, as thylacoleos do not attack players who are accompanied by an imperial woodpecker.


SKILLS:

Imperial Woodpeckers have some passive skills, which can be extremely useful for players.

Are they:

CARRYING ARTIFACTS – Like otters, Imperial Woodpeckers are able to carry artifacts in their inventories.


SYMBIOSE WITH THYLACOLEO – Due to its symbiosis relationship with thylacoleo, players who have an imperial woodpecker on their shoulder are not at risk of being attacked by one. In addition, the imperial woodpecker can be useful in taming these animals, since its cry can attract wild thylacoleo closer, thus facilitating their identification and taming. Wild Thylacoleo will also grant protection to an Imperial Woodpecker that is in foraging mode, preventing both wild creatures and other players from attacking it.
Also, if the player has an Imperial Woodpecker on his shoulder and rides a thylacoleo, he will have a 33% increase in attack and defense, in addition to a reduction of stamina consumption by 33%.
NOTE: If a player who has an emperor woodpecker on his shoulder is attacked, wild thylacoleo will attack the player's attackers. The protection and immunity caused by the Emperor Woodpecker's effect on thylacoleo is depleted when a player attacks a thylacoleo.

PASSIVE RESOURCE GATHERING – The Imperial Woodpecker has a passive resource gathering mode. If you have this mode active, every day, at 5 am, the woodpecker will move to the Redwood, where it will spend the day collecting resources from its trees. The resources that the Imperial Woodpecker can gather from Redwood trees are:

- sap
- Crystallized Sap (of all colors)
- honey
- rare flower
- rare mushroom

In addition to these resources, there is the possibility that the Imperial Woodpecker will also find rare items, which are normally found in drops. They can be ready-made items, or even blueprints. Item rarity and chances of finding them vary depending on the woodpecker's attack power.

The imperial woodpecker has a weight reduction for these resources just as the beavers have for wood.
The imperial woodpecker spends the entire day in the Redwood collecting these resources, and starts making its way back to base at 8 pm.
When it arrives at base, it lands and emits its call to let players know it has returned. It will continue to sing until players open their inventory to collect what the woodpecker has brought. If he brings a rare item, his chant changes, indicating the happiness of getting something special.

DOMESTICATION:

 There are 2 ways to tame an Imperial Woodpecker.
The first is to steal their eggs. The problem is identifying and reaching the nests, as they are at the top of Redwood trees. If the player manages to find a nest, another problem is the difficulty of reaching the eggs, since the nests are made in holes inside the Redwood trees. The player needs to hang or fly in front of the nest to collect. Also, as soon as players collect eggs, wild imperial woodpeckers will start screaming and attacking the player. The screams will attract all nearby thylacoleo, which will help defend the nest. If the player manages to go through all these difficulties, then it is enough to hatch the eggs and then start creating this beautiful animal.
The other way is the domestication of adult imperial woodpeckers.
For this, the player will need a thylacoleo, in addition to vegie cakes, and a complete camouflage outfit (Ghillie Gear).
When spotting a wild Imperial Woodpecker, the player must stop a thylacoleo in passive mode, and hide.
The Imperial Woodpecker will come to the Thylacoleo's mouth to feed on the waste in its mouth. The player must then approach in a crouched position, and feed the imperial woodpecker the vegie cake.
Each time it is fed, the imperial woodpecker takes flight, and only returns to the thylacoleo's mouth when it is hungry again. The player must then hide again, and repeat the process, until the imperial woodpecker is tamed.
