  1. Name: Fox Species: Vulpes quizhudingi Time: Pliocene Diet: Carnivore Temperament: Skittish to Curious Wild: Found around their Direwolf cousins, Vulpes quizhudingi is a more skittish yet curious vulpine, having survived the harshest of winters and arctic biomes. Notoriously little thieves as they steal food from unsuspecting survivors, and can make off with incomparable speed. They are extremely sought for pelt, as they can grow their fur to become warmer, but shed their fur in warmer climates. Taming: If a fox gets curious enough to walk up to a survivor, they can take advantage of the moment and feed it, though it will take off to eat before coming back for more. Repeating this process makes the fox more comfortable to be around the survivor to be petted. Domesticated: With a fox, their fluffy coats are heavily insulated and can act like a shoulder "scarf", helping struggle through the absolute zero temperatures of many arctic biomes. If fed special kibble or allowed to kill smaller animals, the fox may locate a digging spot and excavate whatever was left behind, such as weapons and armor. If your fox becomes too hot in warmer environments, you can use scissors to cut their fur down to help maintain their happiness. They are also very good at repelling smaller critters like the Microraptor and even the thieving seagulls. Like their Direwolf cousins, the Vulpes can sniff the area for loot caches. Art credit goes to PyroAnimus ARK Meta: Shoulder Insulation: In especially colder environments, the Arctic fox can keep survivors warm, depending how much its fur has grown back from a shedding. If you and your fox get too hot, be sure to cut their fur with scissors so you can still take it with you. Loot Digger: Similar to the ARK-aeology event with the fossil dig spots, when you feed foxes eggs, the fox can track random dig spots that occur around the world, eventually excavating a dog spot for the survivors to take whatever items was dug up. In PVP, the fox can really help you find loot crates buried in the ground, if chances are they are inaccessible due to many tribes taking them over, not solely relying on one specific position, making loot tracking wherever you'd like. Depending on the egg you feed the fox, from basic to large eggs, will range in whatever items your fox will dig up in quality, basic eggs to common items, large eggs to become a random chance to be an ascendant loot dig. Stealth Pouncer/Anti-Thief: Like its modern counterpart, the Vulpes can pounce on smaller creatures such as dodos, glowpets and even the Microraptor. The fox can also pounce at incoming thieving dinosaurs like the Pegomastax and Ichthyornis when you least expect it, or even stop bugs who dare come too close. Scent Tracker/Silent Alarm: Like their Direwolf cousins, they can sniff the area around for potential threats and alert the players if a large predator or another survivor is nearby. (suggestion by PyroAnimus) Duck Hunting: While it may not be able to steal fertilized eggs like an Oviraptor, Vulpes are known to hunt Hesperornis like "ducks", if it successfully pounces one, especially a female, it will gain a temporary buff to increase chances of getting a Golden egg from one. If it kills plenty more Hesperornis, it may double, possibly triple your chances of getting more golden eggs from a female. If the golden egg acquired from a Vulpes, the experience gain will last longer. Breeding: Color morphs and patterns change in foxes when you domesticate them, so does their percentage in their best loot digs affecting what you have a higher chance of acquiring. Black Marble Fox: Getting a Vulpes with a black marble coat increases higher chances of digs being armor pieces/blueprints with better quality and less cost. If fed enough eggs, a rare chance of getting a TEK armor. Silver Fox: A Vulpes with a silver coat, a high percent chance of digging weapons and tools out of the ground. If fed enough eggs, a higher chance of digging a TEK weapon. Ota Fox: This breed has a very high chance of locating fertilized egg nest in the dirt, even pull out a hidden egg from a nest where you already took one out. Could pull out two or three dragon eggs or a Deinonychus nest too. Not recommended for the Rock Drake nest. Arctic Marble Fox: This breed has an increased chance of digging up lost saddles from the ancient battles of the ARK, some are basic but some could be more upgraded. If fed enough eggs, a higher chance of digging up a TEK saddle. Cross Fox: A 1% chance of acquiring a bred cross-fox pup. Its unique and rare crossbred color morph makes this Vulpes a unique dual-chance for any randomized loot dig, being armor, saddles, weapons, tools or even a fertilized egg from a wild dinosaur or other animal. Doubles your chances and % of acquiring a golden egg from a Hesperornis. (OPTIONAL) Biome variants: Red Fox - Redwood forests, grasslands, highlands Fennec Fox - Desert, arid regions
  2. This isn't anything new. The PVP community on all three systems are all heavily united in ensuring the Bison doesn't win, because they won't have anything new that can break the current meta if it wins. Not my problem if anything, they all have the bugger. lol
  3. I was never fond of Extinction, it was a hassle and very "dry". It was a DLC map that changed my mind alot about playing the story DLCs vs the free DLCs, I found myself playing Ragnarok, Valguero, CI, LI and Fjordur more often than continuing the story afterwards.
  4. I need to say thanks because I just realized I am stupid and completely forgot to remove ALL mentions of the PVE raid which was the most negatively panned, which was at the very bottom lol

  6. Name: Giant Bison Species: Bison longicornis Time: Pleistocene Diet: Herbivore Temperament: Territorial Wild: Traveling in massive herds for greater pastures, the largest bovine in existence is a sight to behold. With their massive pair of horns, they are known to be aggressive chargers and capable of goring any predator willing to challenge them including wolves and bears. Their large bodies capable of withstanding the harshest winters with their ever-growing pelts, making them durable enough to resist freezing to death. If however one Bison is aggressively locked onto you, the entire herd will follow and you will have more than one angry bovine charging towards you without halt. Taming: Extremely sought for their pelts, horns, and the rich bovine milk, taming a Bison isn't as easy at it looks. Many tribesmen attempt to bull-ride in hopes to tire them out and begin feeding them when they aren't wide awake. Beware getting bucked off, I've seen many tribesmen knocked out with that heavy bull kick to the face. Some get gored if unlucky enough. Domesticated: The milk produced by the females gives any baby animal being raised a quite needed boost, potentially can be warmed up in an cooking pot for a special buff against the cold weather. With their hulking bodies, they offer extra warmth and can carry weight much like modern ox. Like modern cattle, their feces is much more potent fertilizer often referred to as "cow pie" that gives crops a boost of extra harvest. Sexual dimorphism between male and female Bison, males would have extremely long horns and a massive humpback, while the females would have normal sized ones, looking similar to the modern counterparts. ARK Meta: Combat: Males - Built in with a charge mechanic similar to Triceratops and the Woolly Rhinoceros, the Bison could impale its victims into their horns and gore them to bleed out, as well a herd buff to boost their strength with mate boost activated, dealing extreme damage. Females - While not as dangerous as the bulls, the cows when in mass numbers can trample and wreck an environment whether forested or rocky in its path, as well any poor unfortunate animals to be in the path of a charging herd. Carnivore Buff - When attack by any sort of predatory carnivores, the Bison will be empowered with an aura similar to the Tyrant-buff on a Triceratops, enraging it for battle and alerting the herd to an impending attack. A large herd of bison can go into stampede to overpower an unfortunate foe who dared tried to disturb your herd from their greener pasture. Utility: Another farm animal for the common PVE (or RP) players who would love a cow in ARK (like the ones in Atlas). Female Bison milk in turn could be cooked warmly to drink as an insulation buff against the cold, or fed to babies, especially baby Wyverns who require milk themselves. When Bison defecate, they drop a special feces called "cow pie" which is much better than other dinosaur feces, and more efficient, sometimes giving the crops a boost of extra harvest. With a unique cart or wagon saddle, depending on the type of saddle chosen affects how the player how much weight they can carry back and forth from point A to point B with more speed. The amount of Bison needed for the type of cart or wagon saddle affects not only speed, the weight and the mobility of the mini-wheeled base. If Bison are left on wander, they can harvest even without any actual bushes or trees, and simply graze to gather berries, veggies, flowers, mushrooms or fiber. Sometimes you might see Snow-Gatherer - Bison are masters at excavating vegetation from the deep snow, even when there is NO bushes left. You might get lucky to extract some berries or luckily some crops from the bare snow. Bison horn = keratin - Harvest over time from a bull bison their extremely long horns for raw keratin. If you let it grow until it reaches max, you will get an insatiable amount of keratin, but this will render the bull only with a ram attack and not its impaling ability. Be sure to select which bison you want to fight vs which you want to farm off. Dust Bath - Bison loves to bathe in the dirt and cause a dusty mess, but this in fact helps prevent the bugs from bothering them, acting as a temporary bug-repellant. Let your bison bathe in the dirt, you will be dirty too but the dust bath covering you will act as a temporary bug-repellant. Maybe it will keep the Deathworms from attacking when crossing a desert, let you steal honey from bees, enter a cave without resistance before the bison tramples and squashes all who stand in their way. Or keep that nasty Rhyniognatha from targeting you and your tames. Bison Milk - Like other bovines, Bison can be milked for their nutritional sweet baby food. If fed to warm blooded babies, the calcium would help them grow much faster than normal than any other food if given the proper care. Can be substituted for any food a baby might require care such as kibble. Bison Milk Cheese - A crafting recipe requiring warming Bison milk, a very delicious cheese with a very wild yet sweet taste. - Temporary immunity to cold weather - Temporary immunity to ice-based attacks such as Ice Wyvern, Managarmr, Snow Owl, Ice Titan, Steinbjorn, Fenrir, Fenrisulfr, etc. Cart Saddle - Using one or two Bison, a cart saddle can be faster travel and can help you stock up resources in mass quantity to travel across the map, can be optionally armed with a gatling gun to ensure you don't get chased by dinosaurs. Example: The Cart Saddle depicted in ATLAS, driven by cattle. Types of Cart Saddles: Conestoga Wagon - Similar to a tent from Scorched Earth, this light-weight wagon can be driven across the map with a Bison or two while keeping you insulated in the harshest weather but will have to be repaired overtime. Can be customized with storage boxes and ammo crates to act as a mobile base, can carry as much storage as you can fit. Gatling Gun Wagon aka "Tatanka with a Tachanka" - A gatling gun wagon drawn by horses or cattle can be used as a war-wagon alternative to the Andrewsarchus saddle, but instead of one player, two players, the rider and the gunner utilizing simple revolver or rifle bullets. Artillery Wagon - Tired of being stuck with a cannon that can't be moved? Allow your Bison-drawn artillery war-wagon to be driven around and positioned without having to place a new cannon down, and aim the cannon in a different position in battle. Cow Fertilizer "Cow Pie" - can be used to grow and accelerate faster crop quantity, but also can be used in a similar manner as an oil jar, but when shot with a fire arrow, is detonated as the equivalent as a rocket launcher shot. If tossed in mass quantity, a massive hole will open in an enemy's base, but also splatter a nasty crappy mess on anyone who was in the explosion radius. Hair styles - Want to change the hairstyle on your bulls and cows? When changing the hairstyle, you will cut away alot of bison hair which can be used as an alternative to human hair if you're not growing enough. Bison hair - As an alternate to pelt, the bison can be too hot if you ride it full of hair into a warm environment. Be sure to shave it down for its pelt for usage in other things later on. Mane style Afro style Maybe you want your bison to have extremely long hair, looking like a highland cattle. Be a cowboy, ride your wild bovine into battle with guns drawn! RAGNAROK: - Useful in colder areas, especially the below-freezing snow biomes, the bison's thick fur pelt will keep the player protected from the dangerous sub-zero temperatures and deter off any nasty wolves or bears who dare come too close. - Major harvester if on a trip on foot to harvest metal or wood, or various other resources, depending on the cart or wagon saddle will speed determine the rough terrain. Use different cart saddles to either wander as a nomad, gather resources or go to war.
  7. Name: Protoceratops andrewsi Time Period: Late Cretaceous Diet: Herbivore Temperament: Aggressive Wild A smaller cousin of the Triceratops, the Protoceratops is a hornless dinosaur that has expertly survived the dune seas of the Paleozoic era. While smaller yet nimbler, it is not a threat to take likely, as the Protoceratops jaw is powerful enough to break the bones of smaller dinosaurs or even human survivors. A small herd, they are known to be a pest towards even larger carnivorous dinosaurs should they mob up on one. They are very aggressive for little guys, so its best to approach one while on a bigger animal. Domesticated While they can be tamed, its no easy feat. Protoceratops are naturally aggressive and will attack on sight to protect each other. However, it seems they can be pacified with cactus broth, as the hydration will dull out their aggression, allowing you to come a bit closer without being bitten to ride them around, and proceed to feed them before they become aggressive again. Once tamed, a substantial amount of these hornless dinosaurs will pose a mob threat as they will prevent the enemy from escaping, making their foes limp to be subdued. They are also masters at speeding through the sandstorms, as they need to seek shelter, persistent to get comfortable. If a Protoceratops were to charge a crippled enemy, they would take a higher amount of damage. Feel free to suggest anything else.
