Yet again a creature vote crept up on me so no dossier this time! Shaihuludia is a gigantic worm that lives out in the wastelands on earth. to protect itself from harmful solar radiation wild Shaihuludia often cover themselves with various plants and minerals they find. occasionally they may get into an element node covering themselves in it protecting themselves from the corrupted but making them a target for daring survivors looking for element! When tamed Shaihuludia can be equipped with various heavy saddles due to its affinity with covering itself. Lightweight primitive saddle 1 rider 3 passenger seating with low defense can fully burrow Advanced saddle 1 rider 3 flak turrets offers great protection but turrets can only be controlled by passengers can partially burrow Tek saddle 1 rider 6 tek turrets great defense requires element to operate turrets can be controlled by rider and passengers grants flight it high element cost cannot burrow Controls Lmb - bite Shaihuludia everts it's pharynx using its jaws to snap in front of it dealing significant damage. Can be used to turn in place but has a longer wind up. Ctrl - burrow Shaihuludia burrows into the ground only exposing it's back and head. While underground Shaihuludia can move more quickly but uses more stamina. If Shaihulida uses a lightweight primitive saddle they will burrow underground completely. Shaihuludia cannot burrow with a tek saddle equipped. Space bar (underground, prim saddle) - lunge After a short delay Shaihuludia bursts from the ground into the air into a controlled fall. Deals extreme knockback and high damage to enemies as well as stunning fliers. If this attack kills an enemy Shaihuludia gains a health regen buff. Spacebar (tek saddle) - take off Enables Shaihuludias tek saddle thrusters allowing slow flight at a high element cost. Rmb (tek saddle) - fire Fires Shaihuludias tek turrets. Uses a hitscan laser projectile like Astrodelphis.

Unfortunately I did not have enough time to write a dossier please forgive me Histionotophorus is a giant handfish native to the shallow coasts on the center. while it has a calm disposition, it will not hesitate to defend itself using its elongated dorsal spine! General Omnivore breedable lays eggs requires a saddle to be ridden Taming Histionotophorus is a passive tame using tuso tentacles as food Abilities Passive Histionotophorus is semi aquatic and can swim through water and walk on land (though much slower) Gains the hydration buff when in water similar to spino Active LMB - Bite Deals low damage and harvests corpses and bushes RMB - Unsheathe dorsal spine Allows Histionotophorus to use its spine attacks SPACEBAR - Toggle climbing Toggles climbing mode when on land and walking mode while swimming LMB (Unsheathed) - Dorsal spine slash Histionotophorus slashes with its dorsal spine dealing a stack of open wound. once 5 stacks is reached the target is dealt a burst of %damage and then are applied armor reduction for a few seconds. If Histionotophorus hits an enemy while mid air they are vaulted upwards Histionotophorus swings slower on land C (unsheathed) - Dash Histionotophorus dashes forward dealing 2 stacks of open wound to enemies in its path If Histionotophorus hits an enemy while mid air they are vaulted upwards Dash lets Histionotophorus jump from the water Dash has less distance when used on land Additional reading https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Handfish (info on handfish) https://tb.plazi.org/GgServer/html/2816A22677549657411A1895FBC57E8A (info on Histionotophorus)

Glad to see another echinoderm! cool concept as well!

Wild The mutative properties of this damaged ark have gave rise to many monstrosities. Paleocoma, once a small aquatic starfish has grown to massive proportions with an insatiable appitite to boot. This creepy echinoderm waits on the celiengs of open caverns to drop down on prey, flashing bright colors and tangling them in its arms. However, Paleocoma isint afraid to swing outside its class and will even take bites out of creatures much bigger than it. Domesticated If tamed Paleocoma could make an efficient assassin able to climb walls with great speed and ensnare high priority foes. I'm sure marksman could make use of them as well as their backs seem like a steady platform to shoot from. I have yet to see a tribe brave enough to tame one, however they seem to become aggressive to other carnivores and even their own kind when feeding... perhaps taking care of the competition could earn you its trust?

Hailing from the deepest oceans and creepiest caverns comes Paleocoma! Paleocoma is a great single target lockdown assassin able to cling to creatures dealing constant damage with its massive teeth. during this Paleocoma takes reduced damage and heals for a portion of the damage dealt. Depending on the size of the creature, Paleocoma either slows or completely immobilizes the creature. Paleocoma also has a variety of movement options and is able to clamber up walls as well as leap off the ground or walls with a charged jump (jumps farther and faster underwater) Dossier is a work in progress! art by me currently cant get the draft of the dossier to upload but its around allo size in length

that inflatable rex costume is pretty cool, but you know what would be even more cool? a summoner chibi

I feel like I'm the only person here who thinks the delay was an act of god I have a spinal fusion on the 27th Now I won't miss the release all praise the holy walnut squid!

Awesome! the stryder might be my favorite creature in the dlc. second to walnut squid of course!
