Dossier
Species: Gorgonops occisor
Wild: Gorgonops occisor, commonly referred to as Gorgonops, is a mid-sized gorgonopsian that roams the sand dunes and canyons looking for its next meal. When hunting, it uses its strong sense of smell to locate prey and its sandy colouration to camouflage with its desert home. When it spots its prey, it uses its long legs to charge in and uses its 40cm long skull to deliver a horrific wound that leaves the prey bleeding. It will relentlessly attack its prey with its jaws and claws until the prey can no longer defend itself.
Domesticated: Many tribes will utilise the sheer raw power of this formidable beast to raid rivals and to carry home the spoils. The Gorgonops' unmatched sense of smell can detect hidden creatures and people who might be waiting in ambush and its sandy colouration can turn the would be attackers into the attacked. It can also sniff out rare items and creatures for its allies to collect or kill. Trribes will use the Gorgonops' formidable jaws to tear down walls and shred flesh.
Taming: To tame a gorgonops, you will need to drag a corpse over for it to feed on. As it feeds you need to defend it from would be attackers. If it finishes the corpse before it finishes taming, it may walk up to you for more food, if so then feed it meat of any kind. If it runs toward you, hide or bring it a new corpse. If it ignores you, bring it a new corpse and protect it. The larger the corpse, the better.
