  1. Learned a thing or two since the last two attempts and have really flushed this guy out. I hope y'all vote for him!
  2. Art by Jade_317 Art by Jade_317 Coelophysis is my idea for a creature submission. Although it is a small dinosaur my idea for this guy is the ability to snatch and quickly dispatch shoulder pets and small dinosaurs. Additionally, due to their adaptations on the ARKs they have had to compete with other predators for prey and have developed a rivalry with certain predators. This makes this creature an excellent early to mid game shoulder pet/mount and can help protect you from the ARK's peskier creatures. Another fun feature of these guys is that they come in multiple sizes and have sexual dimorphism. In the wild, they can be found traveling in large groups but despite this, they are individualistic and won’t really react if you attack an individual. However, they don’t really like being approached unless you come with a carcass of another Coelophysis. I would be careful breeding these guys since they have quite an appetite for each other though! Dossier Common Name: Coelophysis Species: Coelophysis Carpeis Time: Late Triassic Diet: Carnivore Temperament: Opportunistic Wild Coelophysis is a predatory dinosaur that is adapted for hunting the ARK’s smaller creatures. Nimble and small Coelophysis roam in large packs. Alone Coelophysis is quite reluctant to attack, however in the presence of others it gains increased vigor and confidence. This makes a group of Coelophysis quite dangerous, and I have seen these predators take down prey significantly larger than an individual Coelophysis. Domesticated It appears that Coelophysis’s adaptation to hunting makes it a useful exterminator of pests. I have even seen survivors train their Coelophysis to pull small creatures from the shoulders of other survivors. The Coelophysis varies in size and smaller individuals can hang on a survivor’s shoulder while larger individuals can be ridden. The Coelophysis is highly cannibalistic which is how they have been tamed by survivors. Survivors should be wary when breeding these dinosaurs due to their cannibalistic instincts. I have seen more than one survivor stare helplessly in horror as their new Coelophysis hatchling is devoured by the pack! Taming Coelophysis can be tamed by feeding it the corpses of other Coelophysis. Survivors will need to stalk and kill a member of the Coelophysis group and feed them to the individual they wish to tame. Once you have fed an individual Coelophysis the corpse of another can be tamed passively with meats. Additionally, you can feed the individual you are taming more Coelophysis corpses for the most progress. Care should be taken not to trigger the group when attempting to tame a Coelophysis. An additional feature when taming a Coelophysis is the ability to mend lost taming effectiveness by feeding it a baby Coelophysis before completing the tame. Abilities Snatch: This ability allows the Coelophysis to steal a shoulder pet off of another’s shoulder. Non-ridable Coelophysis executes this ability by hopping onto the back of a survivor, pulling their pet off, and then hopping off causing a staggering effect. Mounted Coelophysis can remove a shoulder pet in a similar manner to Megalosaurus. The execution of this ability on wild creatures is a basic grab attack. Execution: This ability is the following move to the snatch ability. After a certain period being held in the Coelophysis’s mouth, it can execute a finishing move that instantly kills the captured creature. Once this ability is performed the Coelophysis will gain a timer preventing it from repeating this ability again for a certain period. Execution grants a mild damage boost. Patrol: A unique ability this creature possesses is the ability to patrol a certain area acting as a guard dog against common predators. However, this can lead your Coelophysis to get into combat. Can be used to protect locations from nuisance creatures. Radar: This ability is reserved only for Coelophysis that can be held on a survivor’s shoulder. This ability is like the jerboa’s weather detection except in reaction to certain predator and prey items. Does not reveal the specific location of targets. Reactions include Prey (Reaction to creatures under a certain drag weight), Rival (Reaction to creatures in the Rivalry trait), and Predator (Reaction to carnivorous creatures above a certain drag weight). Does not react to humans. Passive Traits Cannibalism: Gains increased stats for a certain period after killing another Coelophysis. Confidence: A trait exclusive to wild individuals that are like how hyaenodons react to targets. Rivalry: A reactive trait where Coelophysis gains increased damage resistance and damage output when in the general vicinity of Troodons, Raptors, Dilophosaurus, Titanoboa, and other similarly sized predators. Prey: Coelophysis does increased damage to creatures under a certain drag weight. Breeding There isn’t anything particularly notable about breeding Coelophysis rather than babies under the age of 50%-60% will be targeted by adults despite both being in the same tribe or group. This means that babies of this age must be separated from adults. Roles Guard dog: With the patrol ability and rivalry trait the Coelophysis can make a useful early-mid game protector. Shoulder Pet Snatcher: Its main PVP role is the ability to steal and kill shoulder pets. Mounted Coelophysis can be especially useful for this. Hunter: The Coelophysis makes an excellent early-mid game hunting creature due to its increased damage against multiple common creatures and ability to grab small creatures. Exterminator and Taming Companion: Due to its ability to grab certain wild creatures and restrain or kill them the Coelophysis can be useful as an exterminator or taming companion. PVP: Although the Coelophysis doesn’t have much hp it is fast and can deal a fair amount of damage for its size. Coelophysis also makes for a great combat speed mount. CREDIT: Lapis Lazuli for making my first concept art of Coelophysis. Jade_317 for making the art used in this voting submission.
  3. Name: Coelophysis Species: Coelophysis Carpeus Time Period: Triassic Temperament: Opportunistic Wild: Coelophysis Carpeus is a predatory dinosaur I have encountered across the ARKs. Nimble and small Coelophysis roam in large packs. When alone Coelophysis is quite reluctant to attack, however when in the presence of others, it gains increased vigor and confidence. This makes a group of Coelophysis quite dangerous, and I have seen them take down prey significantly larger than themselves. Domestic: It appears that Coelophysis has specifically adapted to hunting small animals which makes them a useful exterminator of pests. I have even seen survivors train their Coelophysis to pull small creatures from the shoulders of other survivors. The Coelophysis varies in size and smaller individuals could even hang on a survivor's shoulder. Survivors should be wary when breeding these creatures as they are highly cannibalistic, and I have seen more than one survivor stare helplessly in horror as their new Coelophysis hatchling is devoured by the pack. Abilities: Coelophysis is a small carnivore that uses hit and run tactics and will grow increasingly bold like Hyaenodon. The abilities of Coelophysis include a damage resistance boost when they devour other Coelophysis and get a damage boost in the presence of small rival carnivores like Troodon or Dilophosaurus. The most notable features of Coelophysis are their ability to snatch shoulder pets from a survivor's shoulder and they would also be able to detect nearby predators and prey by exhibiting a behavior similar to a jerboas behave to weather. These features would make them a very useful early-mid game creature to aid you in the harsh deserts of Scorched Earth. Utilities: Makes a handy survival creature for hunting and protecting yourself from wild creatures. For PVP they are useful for stealing shoulder pets like sinomacrops or pegomastax and quickly dispatching them. *Art done by Lapis Lazuli*
