  1. Common name: Alectrosaurus Species: Alectrosaurus corafulgur Time: Late Cretaceous Diet: Carnivore Temperament: Aggressive Wild: The effects that Element has on living organisms is both fascinating, and horrific. And the creatures that are able overcome the corruption, moreso. Take Alectrosaurus corafulgur for example. Its heart has nearly been taken over by Element! I have concluded that this unique adaptation has some ups and downs. On one hand, this so-called "Element enhancement" has greatly improved the Alectrosaurus’ agility, far beyond anything I've ever seen. However, with its heart practically exposed, it leaves Alectrosaurus with one big and obvious weak spot. Excessive damage to what is essentially a reactor core in its chest may provide… “explosive” results. If ever confronted by one, be sure to use this to your advantage! Domesticated: The Survivors I’ve met have been able to do some of the most extraordinary things with a domesticated Alectrosaurus. When asleep, an Alectrosaurus’ “heartbeat” produces a sort of pulse energy. Some have been able to harness this energy in a way to power their electronic systems not unlike a Tek Generator, no wires needed! Others have discovered that providing an Alectrosaurus with pure Element can enhance its physical abilities even further!
  2. You have to have 6 posts on your account in order to upvote submissions. Wildcard set up this restriction to prevent people from using bots to artificially boost votes. You can just post some comments on posts to meet the requirement.
  3. I really like this idea, but I feel it may be a bit too similar to what we were told about Fassolasuchus. I'll see if I can brainstorm something similar to this, without being too much like Fassolasuchus.
  4. Personally, I don't think this would make sense for a few different reasons. My intention for the Chasmosaurus is for it to be a weaker, but faster version of the Triceratops given its "Adrenaline Boost" ability. I feel having it be smaller than a Trike would be a good way to signify this. Not to mention, Chasmosaurus in reality was actually significantly smaller than Triceratops. (Triceratops is in red, Chasmosaurus is in green.)
  5. **NEW & UPDATED ABILITIES! BIG THANKS TO LUUX FOR SUGGESTIONS!** "Good day, Survivors! Today I present to you my submission for the Aberration creature vote, Chasmosaurus luxoscutum!" GENERAL INFORMATION: The real world Chasmosaurus is a medium-sized ceratopsian that lived during the Campanian stage of the Late Cretaceous period in what is now Alberta, Canada. For more info on the real world Chasmosaurus, here's the Wikipedia article so you can read up on it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chasmosaurus DOSSIER TRANSCRIPT: Common name: Chasmosaurus Species: Chasmosaurus luxoscutum Time: Late Cretaceous Diet: Herbivore Temperament: Short-tempered “WILD” “The fauna on this ARK never ceases to amaze me. An example of this can be seen with Chasmosaurus luxoscutum. While not as large or powerful as its cousin Triceratops or even Pachyrhinosaurus, the Chasmosaurus has one trick up its sleeve to set it apart from the rest.” “Since Chasmosaurus has relatively short horns, they aren’t very good at warding off larger predators. To counteract this, they have developed photophores in their frills that they can use to create a large flash of charge light to blind and stun any potential threats. However, this comes at a cost, for it takes a lot of energy to produce such a large quantity of charge light and will leave the Chasmosaurus fairly tired, with barely enough stamina to allow for a quick getaway.” “DOMESTICATED” “Usually residing in the bioluminescent forest, the Chasmosaurus is a very good, well rounded companion to have. They are big enough to ride, can carry around a fair amount, and seem to be immune to the effects of radiation sickness in the lower levels of the caverns. This, as well as their charge light ability has led to several unhinged lunatics to bring these fellas down to the territory of the Reapers in fruitless efforts to tame one. I strongly advise AGAINST this due to the Chasmo’s lack of physical strength.” To quickly summarize, Chasmosaurus luxoscutum essentially serves as a walking charge lantern, being able to release a large burst of charge light to stun enemies in place. It resides in the bioluminescent forests where it feasts on its favorite food, Plant Species Z fruit. Once tamed, the Chasmosaurus proves to be a pretty good companion. It can be ridden, carry a good amount of resources, and is fairly fast as well. If you really play your cards right, it can possibly even be quite useful in the taming process of Reapers. Personally, I wouldn't recommend doing so due to Chasmosaurus's low damage and defensive abilities. Speaking of abilities… OFFENSIVE ABILITIES: Primary Fire: Melee attack - A standard melee attack, alternates between headbutt and back kick if camera is facing backwards; does moderate damage and minor knockback. (NEW) Crouch Button: Light Toggle - Chasmo has two different light themed abilities that it can swap between, Flashbang and Intimidation Display; These abilities do not do physical damage. Alt Fire 1: Flashbang - Releases a large flash of charge light (much like a Plant Species Z fruit or Charge Lantern) to blind and leave enemies in a daze, unable to move for ~10 seconds; long cooldown after use; uses ~60% stamina when used; temporarily gives Nameless and Reapers the "Charged" debuff during the stun duration. Alt Fire 2: Intimidation Display - The Chasmo roars and pulses a hypnotic pattern on it's frill and body to intimidate larger predators such as Spinosaurus and Rock Drakes; decreases aggro radius for aggressive creatures; gives enemies minor damage reduction and defense down for ~20 seconds when within a certain radius of the Chasmo. Jump Button: Precise movement - Hold down to allow for precise rotation to aim the flashbang ability. PASSIVE ABILITIES: (NEW) Battery Charger - Saddle has "charging ports" on it to passively charge batteries while on the move, able to charge 6 at a time Head Shield - 30% damage reduction on headshots. Stamina Tracker - The glowing spots on the side of the Chasmo’s body indicate how much stamina it has left. Adrenaline Rush - Gains a minor speed boost for a few seconds after successfully stunning a threat with the Flashbang. Radiation Immunity - Does not take damage when in the radioactive Element Caverns area. Energy Refuel - Plant Species Z fruits can be used similar to that of a sweet veggie cake where force feeding the Chasmo one will replenish its stamina quicker; cooldown after use. (NEW) Charge Light Synergy - When in the presence of a source of charge light, the Chasmo receives a slight boost to its damage and overall defense ^^^ Beautiful art here done by Lapis Lazuli on Discord. Go show them some love! ^^^ TAMING (NEW TAMING METHOD!): This idea was suggested by Zipperslipper457 (Big thanks!) This new proposed taming method would require you to have a metal shield specifically. When approaching the Chasmosaurus, it will enter a defensive state and begin to flash its intimidation display, during which it will look at you and prepare to flashbang you. Right before it flashes you, bring up your shield to reflect the flash back at the Chasmo. Doing this will stun the Chasmosaurus instead. When it this stunned state, walk up to it and feed it the Plant Species Z fruit/seed. Rinse and repeat until fully tamed. And there you have it! If you made it this far, thank you for taking the time to read this! It really means a lot. If you liked my silly little ceratopsian, feel free to give it a vote! Good day, survivors!
  6. Greetings Survivors! For this submission, the small, but dangerous Psittacosaurus vexoplectris make it's grand return to the submission forums to prove that you don't have to be a giant brute to save a life! DOSSIER TRANSCRIP: Common name: Psittacosaurus Species: Psittacosaurus vexoplectris Time: Early Cretaceous Diet: Herbivore Temperament: Defensive Wild: "Going off of its small size, You would expect that Psittacosaurus vexoplectris would be an easy meal for most smaller predators. But to my surprise, many of the carnivores in the desert avoid it. This is because this little critter has a few tricks up its sleeve." "Psittacosaurs possess very acute senses of smell, hearing and sight which allows them to evade predators very efficiently. In the event a threat gets too close, they can shoot off their toxic quills to deter them. While the toxin in these quills is not deadly, it does greatly irritate the skin and nervous system." Domesticated: "A tamed Psittacosaurus can be the difference between life and death for a survivor. It is able to spot ambushing predators from afar and alert its owner of the nearby threat. I've also heard that these creatures can even sniff out rare resources from under the desert sand." IN-GAME INFO: In life, Psittacosaurus is a small, Early Cretaceous ceratopsian found in several parts of Asia such as China, Mongolia, Russia, and Thialand. The ARK version is a desert-dwelling cactus cruncher that can perch on your shoulder. In the wild, you will often find Psittacos gathered in groups of about 4-5 individuals. The highest level of the group will be the "scout" for the group, serving as look out for the others. Whenever there is a threat, the scout will let out a call to alert the rest of the herd and give them the chance to escape while the scout stands guard to deter the threat by shooting its toxic quills. When the quills make contact with skin, it causes smaller animals such as Raptors, Direwolves and Terror Birds to retreat in pain. TAMING: In order to tame a Psittacosaurus, you'll need two key components: -a shield -Cactus Sap. 1.) First, you want to find a herd of Psittacos and begin to slowly approach the Scout. (It'll have a Pack Leader Glow around it, so you'll know which one it is) 2.) Then, you want to bring up your shield as the Scout enters its "Defensive Position" (it gets on all fours and raises its tail up, there will be about a 2-3 second grace period before it shoots) 3.) After shooting its quills, the Psittaco will enter its "tired state". it'll have its head and tail lowered and will be visibly panting. when in this state, feed it the cactus sap. 4.) Repeat Steps 1-3 untill tamed. Enjoy your new buddy! ABILITIES: Once tamed, your Psittacosaurus has quite a few abilities in its arsenal. -Bite: Simple bite attack. Nothing more, nothing less -Quill Shot: When either on your shoulder or on the ground, you can enable "Quill Shot Targeting". This allows the Psittaco to fire its quills at potential threats in a specific range (can be altered with its targeting range.) -Vocal Mimicry: Since the quills don't do much to larger animals, the Psittacosaurus is able to mimic the aggro sound of nearby large predators such as Rexes and Yutyrannus to alert you. PASSIVE ABILITIES: -Rare Resource Gathering: If placed on the terrain, the Psittacosaurus has a small chance to randomly dig up rare resources such as Pearls from the sand. -Repellant Darts: Psittacosaurus will passively produce a substance simply called "Psittacosaurus Toxin" which can be used to create Repellant Darts, which are made by combining a Tranquilizer Dart and the Psittaco Toxin. The darts can be fired from a Longneck Rifle and used on most creatures. the larger the creature, the more required to force hostile creatures to retreat. -Repellant Darts do NOT work on the following creatures: -Giganotosaurus -Carcharodontosaurus -Titanosaur -Brontosaurus -Extinction Titans -Alpha Dinos -Bosses And there you have it! Thank you for your reading! If you like this idea, feel free to give it a vote. It would really make my day if you did!
