Tenontosaurus Tilletti is a mid-sized iguanodontian ornithopod that lived at the same time and area as Deinonychus (one of my reasons for submitting Tenontosaurus). I wanted to submit a creature that could be a jack of all trades, master of none type creature, good for travel, harvesting and battle. Feel free to leave suggestions, all are accepted
Dossier:
Temperament: Skittish
Wild: Tenontosaurus Tilletti is a welcome sight to this ARK after seeing the number of carnivores that inhabit the White Cliffs and Boreal Forests this creature walks. Exclusively found in herds ranging from 3 to 5 members and always roaming from food source to food source. The specimens I've encountered are much larger than those in the fossil record and have a large amount of muscle in their hindquarters and tail, which I have observed being used to devastating effect against predators such as Deinonychus, a rivalry pulled across time and space.
Tenontosaurus are generally skittish around creatures and humans, and will flee unless that human happens to look like a bush and smell of food.
Tamed: Survivors that have tamed Tenontosaurus have told me that they can be attracted by the promise of food and will often come over to investigate. Tamed Tenontosaurus are excellent mounts, being able to carry huge quantities of resources across long distances, travel swiftly and across difficult terrain and are fiercely protective of their riders.
Taming Method: wearing ghille and berries/veggies/superior kibble in last item slot. Walk slowly up to a Tenontosaurus and stand still once it performs a sniffing animation. It will Walk over and begin to sniff the 'bush', at this point feed it. It will eat and wander off to rejoin it's herd. Follow the herd around until they stop to feed again and repeat. Note: This can attract multiple to you, if they are not fed within a certain amount of time (long while) they will wander off and not be alerted. If taming an entire herd, tamed Tenontosaurus will not alert the wild ones.
Abilities:
Primary ability (LC/RT/R2): In quadrupedal stance; a directional attack, facing forward does a bite, facing back will cause a kick with knock back and facing the sides perform a hip-check. In bipedal stance; forelimb flail if facing forward or stomp of facing sideways/backwards.
Secondary ability(RC/LT/L2): quadrupedal and bipedal stances; semi-directional tail attack, facing forwards or backwards will deal a tail slam and sideways will have the tail attack in that direction. All deal knock back.
Tertiary ability (C/RS/RS): Stance change, quadrupedal moves faster and reduces knock back recieved, bipedal has access to a jump and better turn radius.
(Spacebar/A/X): Bipedal stance; jump. Quadrupedal stance; flail. If something, eg Deinonychus, is pounced onto the Tenonto or is next to the Tenonto, it will take damage to them and some recoil to the Tenonto and pounced enemies have their stamina drain increased.
Passive Abilities: Will not send wild Tenontosaurus fleeing, even if ridden.
Reduces weight of fibre, wood, thatch and berries by 10%.
Takes half bleed damage
Tenontosaurus is designed to be able to fill multiple roles in ARK, battle mount, material transporter and travel mount, through two saddles, a war saddle and basket saddle, and its stance changes and abilities.
The war saddle is a plate metal saddle that covers the face, sides and legs of the Tenonto, with a series of metal spikes along the tail. It would have a higher armour stat (standard is 25 so 50 maybe) and deal extra damage and bleed with its tail attacks. Unlocked between level 50 and 60
The basket saddle is a simpler saddle that sports many baskets along the length of the back and tail. The basket saddle would reduce the weight of all materials inside the inventory by 50%, allowing you to carry more materials across Valguero. Unlocked at level 35
Post will not allow me to add more images as the total file size is capped at 400kB. If anyone knows how to increase this cap or knows a way around it, please tell me.
