Lokiceratops, Bullet Deflecting Magnetic Trickster God

[DILONG]

Lokiceratops is a bizarre and fascinating ceratopsian with the incredible ability to produce magnetic fields, it’s abilities range from pushing and pulling dinos, deflecting bullets, disrupting tek and electronics, disarm players by yanking weapons from their hands, and even able to collect bullets midair and fire them back at enemies like a massive blunderbuss. Abilities and dossier down below (vote caught me off guard art is incoming please hold for the tone) 

I’ll post the Dossier image soon:)

Abilities:

A magnetic field that can passively disrupt tek/electronics by shutting them off or turning them on to waste energy

A Push and Pull magnetic ability that can move dinos up to rex size towards or away from the Lokiceratops

A bullet deflection effect that negates 90% of incoming bullet fire (does not work with tek rounds)

A blunderbuss ability where it can catch bullets midair and blast them back at an opponent like a giant magnetic shotgun

An ability to yank a metal weapon out of enemy hands, guns, swords, rockets, ect.

Passive keratin/metal generation, shearing it’s horns can give you some materials but it takes a while to fully grow back

 

Side note, if you use my artwork in a video credit me as the creator of said artwork. Thank you:)

Maybe it could cause a mirage of itself, that ability being an homage to Loki in the movies. The mirage disappears when it takes a hit.

This could be an interesting creature. If It doesn't win you should submit it for the Genesis part 1 vote

It’s definitely not going away anytime soon even if it doesn’t win the vote, if I do submit it again I think Fjordur will be plenty appropriate since it’s a norse themed map and this boi would fit snugly in that map.

On Fjordur it should have a Norse saddle

I hope this wins if mine the sinotyranus doesn't

About how big is this guy gonna be? I'm thinking about the size between a trike and a rex.

Base idea: power herbivore/support, distract & attack

 

Here is a link to the Image, unfortunately I could not find out how to insert larger atchments. (If anyone knows, please tell me in the comments!)

note: this concept is not completely ment for fjordur, and I’m submitting this now just to get a feel for if it would be a popular choice or not.

Description:
Lokiceratops is a creature who managed to tap into and control the power of the ark. However
instead of using this power for destruction, it tends to use it more for mischievous purposes. It
found ways to create mirages of energy to mimic itself. These mirages heavily distract the other
creatures of the ark and it causes lots of general confusion around it. But, when it needs to, it
can use its power offensively and when it does, it can be very destructive. It can fight off almost
any threat that gets thrown at it, so if you can manage to tame one, you will have a strong
foothold on conquering the challenges of the ark
Wild: lokiceratops walks around and is neutral. If you get close it won’t attack but it will create a
mirage and feel. If you attack however, it will make it its goal to end the fight with only one
survivor. When attacking when wild, it will use primarily defensive abilities. But if its health drops
below 25%, it will trigger its ultimate mode. If it doesn’t die or kill you, it will then flee.
Note: it will also occasionally just create mirages just to add to its mischief

Taming:

note: the concept is directed more towards fjordur, so the taming is a bit different. It would be levels for Val instead of runes
Prerequisite: 20 runes claimed by player
Every 5 runes, max spawn level increases (base 180, increases by 2, max 260)
Taming process version 1
1. Kill a lokiceratops and pickup the articact it drops
2. Take the artifact to an obelisk (optional: in another realm)
3. Realm will determine some stats and color,
4. Then, with the respawned lokiceratops, mount it (it will still be wild) and a hord of spirit
wolves and a world boss with spawn
5. Kill world boss, it will drop an exclusive item you can use to tame it.
Tame process version #2; same as ver one but different boss spawn
Abilities (tamed)
Right click- hit. Applies confusion effect- 5% (at 100% target will run in random directions and
attack random things) the level of damage resistance also determines affect resistance
Left click-
Roar- applies fear and 50% confusion
C- creates “mirage” of target and target will attack mirage. mirage deals no damage but applies
5% confusion
X- switch ability
Space- activate selected ability
Ability one-stun pulse; it pulses a stun
Ability two- mirage cloak; mirrors one of the attacking creatures and creatures attacking you will
stop (but only the mirrored kind, so if 2 different creatures are attacking, it only stops one and it
will cloak to the highest level creature.
Ability three- sword stomp; will stomp ground and create a shockwave that will knockback
enemies, cause bleed and slow down

 ult Mode image:https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Bz7q0MTV2pqvRJt0BtfxI0p3vm9xx2DZ/view?usp=drivesdk

Ultimate- right click + space; all attacks will deal 1.5x damage and all abilities (from switcher)
are replace.
Ult one- sends out a pulse that deals 15% of health (limit: 5,000) and stuns and applies injury
(enemies take 15% extra damage)
Ult two- mirrors enemy with highest damage and deals up to +50% of their damage (max; 2,000
increase) health stays same
Ult three- energy bombard; sends out 3 light pulses directly up, and 3 seconds later they fall, dealing aoe damage

Hey um I already posted a Lokiceratops submission, maybe post your ideas in my post since this vote can’t have two of the same creatures.

Another option:

"He is an ambivalent figure in the Norse pantheon. In some myths he is a companion of Odin and Thor (and the gods often get out of trouble thanks to his great cunning), while in others he is the one who threatens the cosmic order, a deceiver, troublemaker, fearsome and chameleonic, sometimes evil. His figure, in this second case, is often outlined as a character intent on plotting deceptions and conspiracies, without ever acting in person."

 

This interesting dinosaur was discovered by Mark Eatman in 2019 in the Loki quarry, which represents the outcrops of the Judith River formation (McClelland Ferry member) in Kennedy Coulee and its name, which obviously refers to the place of discovery, spiritually winks at the famous god of deception Loki, very famous in ancient times in northern Europe and in the world thanks to the various cinematic adaptations, from "The Mask" to superhero films.

 

Having said that, my question is... how can you insert a creature like this into the game? Well, making it a deceptive and annoying creature obviously but, if tamed, it can annoy an entire enemy clan.

 

It would be found in snowy forests and surroundings, ideal places for its powers, and it would not live in groups nor would it have cubs, this to best represent its selfish and malevolent nature.

Of sneaky temperament, he will attack you in close range if you are alone and with a single, if you are in a group he will attack you from afar, in both cases he will generate clones and fake creatures created by your imagination under the effect of his pheromones that, as already said, he could inflict on you both from afar and from close. If he is threatened he will create temporary obstacles to make hunting difficult for you.

 

The main way to tame him is to let them devour and destroy the crops, the bigger they are and the more nutritious the food, the more effective the taming will be. The other method will be to narcotize him...A LOT, it will be easier to kill a wild giga rather, since he has a huge resistance to narcotics.

Oh okay sorry I didn’t realize you had a sumbmission. Do you want me to take down this post and add ideas to your post?

also, if you are interested would you want to work together to make a Lokiceratops sumbmission for fjordur vote (or just the next vote)

[RebelKevin94]

I really like the abilities on this ceratopsian, and upvoted it awhile ago. I’m surprised it didn’t do better, unless people just overlooked it. Awesome submission!
