Found only in the red zone near the Liquid Element rivers and lakes. Being among the first to adapt to the hostile radioactive conditions shows the resiliancy of life taking up new niches. It is adept to both land and the pools of element. They tend to be skittish around humans and will attack if the humans continue to approach it or if it felt threatened. Like the seekers, they seem to be attracted to charge light which makes them curious.
Dentaneosuchus Ability
Element and Radiation Immunity. The tough scales on it's body allows it to swim through liquid element with ease. Riding the Dentaneosuchus provides anti-radiation buff as long as the survivor rides the dino. But will lose it once they dismount it. You can swim across element pools.
Taming Strategy
Passive taming, Preferring prime meat jerky, only accepts food when it's under charge light.
Lure Dentaneosuchus with the charge light, then feed it the jerky.
Real Life Counterpart
Dentaneosuchus is a genus of large bodied sebecid crocodylomorph from the Middle Eocene of Issel and Réalmont (France). Originally described as Atacisaurus crassiproratus, the discovery of additional remains led to it being placed in a separate genus in 2023. It was tentatively recovered as the basalmost member of the family Sebecidae. Because of this Dentaneosuchus could play an important part in deciphering the origins and dispersal of European sebecids, as their presence on the continent, far away from their primary range in South America, is still not entirely resolved. It reached a similar size to the enormous Barinasuchus, making it not only one of the biggest sebecids but also the biggest terrestrial carnivore of Cenozoic Europe. Dentaneosuchus would have been an apex predator of its environment, capable of taking large prey such as Lophiodon. However, for as of yet unknown reasons crocodylomorphs would lose their spot as top predator in this part of the world by the end of the Eocene, with Dentaneosuchus representing one of the last members of its group in Europe.
Size
As the skulls of most sebecid genera do not exceed 40 cm (16 in) in total length (Langstonia barely surpasses this size at 42 cm (17 in)), it can be said that Dentaneosuchus is among the largest known sebecids. The lower jaw of this genus measures up to 90 cm (35 in) (not accounting for the retroarticular process), which puts it in a similar size range as the giant Barinasuchus from the Miocene of South America. In fact, with a preserved mandibular length of 70 cm (28 in) and an estimated total mandibular length of close to 1 m (3 ft 3 in), Barinasuchus may be only slightly larger than Dentaneosuchus. Dentaneosuchus could have even exceeded Barinasuchus in skull length considering that the type specimen from Issel is slightly larger than the more complete material from Réalmont
This does however leave the issue of determining body size from skull length. This is rendered especially difficult by the lack of fully preserved postcranial skeletons for members of this group, which means that body size is generally estimated based on the proportions of other terrestrial Notosuchians, leading to vastly different results. Using the proportions of the incomplete peirosaurid Uberabasuchus for example would give Dentaneosuchus a body five to six times longer than its skull. Using the baurusuchid Stratiotosuchus, Molnar and de Vasconcellos calculated that the body length of Barinasuchus could range anywhere from 6.3 m (21 ft) to a gigantic 10 m (33 ft). Martin and colleagues suggest a much more conservative body length with a proportionally bigger head, estimating the total body length of the two at between 3–4 m (9.8–13.1 ft). Regardless of the specifics, this renders Dentaneosuchus the largest terrestrial predator of Cenozoic Europe.
