(concept art I made is in link since it’s too big every photo I made)
Wild: they can be found in the green region, trudging through forests. Rarely they can be found near rivers. Very little actually aggro’s to them besides the biggest of predators. Eremotherium are mostly found in pairs but can be found in trios too. When one is attacked, the others will join in to protect. Generally however, sloths don’t go around looking for a fight. Whenever a roll rat burrows away, it will eagerly look through the gems the rat left behind. Just like the rat, it isn’t too friendly on anyone who takes the gems right under its nose. Perhaps the sloths have a strange fascination with shiny sparkly gems
domesticated: despite being very strong and tanky, it’s better used for carrying immense amounts of items and collecting resources. This is due to its immense size and lack of speed. While it does have a normal saddle to casual runs, there is the possible attachment one can put on their sloths. It is a metal saddle with a crane arm and hydraulic claw. This provides the sloths more armor than a saddle would and protects the user.
Attacks and moves;
-smashes the ground with both hands
-basic bite attack
-attack that has the sloth swing it’s arms one at a time, each arm doing damage
-can grab creatures, up to Parasaur size and toss them away.
It can tear up to attack as well
Attacks collect large amounts of berries, mushrooms, fungal wood but small amounts of stone, flint. The claw collects even more of these items, around 3X
Mechanized saddle: the claw runs on gasoline and works similar to the turret saddle with it being able to be toggled for it’s usage and does not reduce speed when used. When toggled to use the claw, the sloth will be able to have an bite attack and the claw can be moved around to “pinch” at trees, rocks, and carry creatures up to roll rat size. The saddle protects the sloths from radiation, without it they would fall ill to the radiation
Normal saddle unlocks at lvl 39
Mechanized saddle unlocks at lvl 48
Taming: due to its fascination with gems, survivors can drop superior kibble amongst gems. This can be done at a distance as to chose the right sloth. But, sloths have a priority list of which gems are most worth checking out. Green gems will attract its attention but will not be in much of a rush to get to the gems and kibble, while red gems will instantly catch its attention and will even charge towards them. It will eat the kibble amongst the gems. The second best food are crops.
