INTRODUCING 

PREADATOR X :THE FEAR OF THE OCEAN

 

Arks oceans are a very dangerous and scary place early on in Ark. but as you evolve, it becomes less and less daunting. The concept is here to change that. Pliosaurus or Preadator X is a creature that is to be feared. As soon as you enter water up to your waist, you better hope you forgot to put food away, because it’s minions commonly known as ENCHODUS will seek in on you about  3 at a time and drag you under to your doom.

so that was a brief intro on my creature, but here is a more in depth analysis including a longer “story” I couldn’t fit in the dossier.

ABILITYS (wild)

Preadator X’s first and most notable ability is its minion ability. If you enter water deep enough to drink from, depending on the type, any food will give a smell that Enchodus can laser in on. They will then drag you down to the approaching Pliosaur and gnash you in process. The only way to escape is by killing all of them. If you fail to escape, they will bring you close to the Pliosaur and release you and leave. The Pliosaur will then try to suck you in using a powerful whirlpool like ability. In this state it becomes stationary and swimming out of the whirlpool (if you can) will secure your life. The second way is while the whirl pool is sucking you in, toss in a poison grenade to falter the Pliosaur and deal torpor. This is only way to apply torpor to tame this creature. However if you don’t manage to escape, the Pliosaurs mouth will snap shut, dealing massive damage, disabling tek, and applying bleed. If you are lucky to survive this, you will likely be too far down and drown or the Pliosaur will suck you in again.

ABILITYS (tamed)

Once tamed, Preadator X has a very tanky saddle and many abilities. It’s first is the same as the wild ability to suck in nearby creatures with the effect as wild. It’s second ability is to summon enchodus that while are tamed by the survivor, but loyal only to the Pliosaur. They will flank the Pliosaur like a living force field that when the Pliosaur is attacked, the enchodus take the damage instead. They can also be commanded by the Pliosaur to attack a single target and if it goes below 15% health will be taken back to Pliosaur and the Pliosaur will heal some health when it eats that target. However Preadator X’s most powerful ability is after charging up energy by killing, it will gain the ability to control enemy and wild tames and they will knock off and damage the riders and swim towards the Pliosaur becoming passive. After being uncontrolled the Preadator Gains 25% of each creatures damage (the limit of controlled creatures is 8 )and it will take the damage for its own lasting 30 seconds but will take 50% more damage for this duration. Pliosaur can also go on land but it has a water stat that the higher it is the faster it will go on land and water. Being on land will lower it, wear-as being in water fills it.

HELENA NARRATION

I have encountered many dangers in the oceans of many Arks but none surpass the threat and fear of Preadator X. It is feared by all due to its nature of ambushing with low chance of escape. I have however seen a tribe take one down, and an even more fearless tribe manage to actually tame one. I was very puzzled on how they managed to do it but after a lot of watching, and a lot of injuries I managed to knock one out and tame it. It is done by the little used Poison grenades thrown in the mouth when the opportunity presents itself. Once knocked out any kibble will do, but for some reason enchodus flesh works much better. A tamed Pliosaur is very useful in many situations but one I can remember is when I was corned by the shoreline by and enemy tribe and my tamed Preadator X leaped out of the water and kills the leader sending the rest fleeing in terror.

quick side note: my original plan for this creature was to have it on Val or lost island or fjordur, but this is mostly to. Raise impressions so don’t feel obligated to vote this time, save it you can for another map. Thank you reading - Baryonyx A239
