Arambourgiania The Sky Sentinel, Incredible Eyesight, Territorial Defender Pronounced, [Ah·Ram·Bour·Gain·Eya] Dossier Text Wild: In the realms of this ancient land, I've had the privilege of witnessing the awe-inspiring presence of Arambourgiania, which towers over creatures such as the Tyrannosaurus Rex. With wings stretched impossibly wide, it patrols the skies with an unmatched presence, casting its huge shadow upon the ground below. Its elongated neck, adorned with a slender beak, hints at peak evolution, while its incredible eyesight paint a picture of a vigilant guardian. Majestic and imposing, Arambourgiania's commanding flight allows it to survey the vast sky with ease, making it a sentinel of the heavens, and a sight to behold amidst the prehistoric tapestry of life. I'm astounded that a creature of such size would feed on just fish and smaller critters, revealing the hidden intricacies of its role in the ancient ecosystem. Domesticated: I've uncovered Arambourgiania's secrets. This towering sentinel, now a loyal companion, serves beyond its ancient role. Thanks to its elongated neck, it is capable of guarding the skies by detecting distant threats. It signals an "alarm" when foes approach, alerting the tribe. Its commanding cry forces retreat, even from ridden creatures. Arambourgiania returns when skies extend too far, a wise adaptation to safeguard its home. Its talents are diverse—a defender and artisan. At the water's edge, it becomes a patient angler, reeling in treasures like blueprints and valuable resources. Its incredible eyesight detects nearby materials and resources which I have found extremely useful. Mastery of its fishing art brings even greater prizes. With the Arambourgiania, the skies and depths are yours. Table Of Contents - Summary - Description - Basic Attacks - Special Abilities - Taming Method - Mating - Why You Should Vote For The Arambourgiania ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Summary Wild Presence Towering presence, larger than a Rex, with immense wingspan Patrols the skies, protecting its territory Elongated neck, slender beak, and incredible eyesight Territorial temperament, feeding on fish and small creatures If it detects your presence, it will let out a small call, almost as a warning before becoming aggressive. If the target doesn’t abide by that warning, the Arambourgiania will lift off, attack and let off a piercing screech that will force enemies to retreat. It will also attack the enemy during this time too. Domesticated Abilities Surveillance: Raises its neck as far as it can go to alert tribe of aerial threats, forces retreat to foes with a screech that causes all other tamed Arambourgianias to quickly launch after foes and attack Patrol Mode: Flies (or walks) along a designated route, detecting potential threats Fishing: Skilled angler, catching fish and valuable resources from water bodies; catching fish while flying restores stamina mid-flight Resource Locator: Pinpoints selected material nearby with its vision Launch: Charge wings during take-off for a huge momentum boost Combat Abilities Beak Slash: Uses its long beak for slashing and swiping attacks Thrust Flurry: Rapid flurry of bleeding thrusts with the beak, charge for a longer flurry; also used to harvest certain resources Beak Grab: Firmly takes either a small creature, an opposing player, or a tribemate, and keeps them lodged within its beak. Sadde & Utility Level 76 saddle that comes equipped with metal casing on beak for increased damage and resource harvesting Three-seater saddle for additional passengers Fishing bait can be attached to beak for more valuable loot Mating Very unique method with only one tamed Arambourgiania required Male method Enable mating Releases a mating call to search for a wild female Arambourgiania Follow the Arambourgiania to its mate Claim the offspring Female method Enable mating Releases a mating call that attracts wild male Arambourgianias Wait for a male to arrive Claim the offspring Taming Method Equip a ghillie disguise to blend in with the environment Approach the Arambourgiania quietly and join it in fishing to build trust As trust grows, the Arambourgiania will fly and lead you to its nest At the nest, help defend its newborn offspring from dangerous creatures; the adult Arambourgiania will emit a warning screech before a wave of intruders (These waves are sort of like Plants vs. Zombies) Once you successfully defend the offspring and prove your loyalty to the Arambourgiania, it will give you the right to take one of its newborn offspring as your companion ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Description The Arambourgiania stands as a giant among pterosaurs and many other creatures, with even just its neck spanning around 10 feet, a colossal size! The creature itself, standing at an impressive 16 feet, even surpasses the Rex in size! What’s interesting however, is that a creature at this size seems to mainly feed and just fish and smaller creatures. The Arambourgiania's favorable trait is its eyesight. Elevated by its elongated neck, its remarkable vision becomes your tool for surveillance. This allows you to thoroughly scout your surroundings, identifying distant resources and creatures with ease. The Arambourgiania has been given this trait due to its environmental niche. It's the most territorial creature in the game. Using its talents, it can signal a screech, acting as an alarm as well as an intimidation tactic, forcing intruders to turn back. Upon reaching level 76, you will be able to craft a 3 seater saddle. One seat is positioned between its abdomen and neck, reserved for the rider. Two additional seats are positioned a bit further back, near the wings. The saddle comes equipped with metal casing on the Arambourgiania’s beak, enhancing its attacks, resource harvesting, and more. This also allows the Arambourgiania to have bait attached to its beak for fishing. (Which will be discussed in detail later) The Arambourgiania has an abundance of distinctive abilities you can use to your advantage, both for PvP and PvE players to enjoy. This creature introduces a new layer of stealth, strategy, defense, and many other interesting mechanics to the overall ARK experience. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Basic Attacks Beak Slash - (Left Click) Unlike any other aerial creature in the game, the Arambourgiania uses its long, slender beak to its advantage and uses it as a sword, slashing and swiping. This swing can hit multiple targets at once. Thrust Flurry- (Right Click) The Arambourgiania unleashes a flurry where it repeatedly thrusts its sharp beak at whatever it is trying to attack. Inflicts a short bleed that can stack depending on how many attacks hit the target. This attack is also how you can begin to gather sap from redwood trees. You can also harvest from certain resources with this attack, such as stone and wood for example. Beak Grab - (Press C) The Arambourgiania will pick up a player or a small creature in its beak. Its beak deals slow and continuous damage when used on an enemy. You can break out of this grasp similar to a Bloodstalker. You can also use this on tribe members, so technically the Arambourgiania can be 4-seater. Once something is in its grasp, you can perform multiple actions. Beak Slam - (Left Click When Something Is In The Beak) Slams players down to the ground dealing impact damage. Beak Fling - (Right Click When Something Is In The Beak) Throws player into the air. This can be useful if you want the player to die from fall damage, pursue an attack, or if you want them to be seen by other Arambourgianias. Drop - (C When Something Is In The Beak) Releases your grip, sending the captive free. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Special Abilities Surveillance Mode - (Activated In Radial Wheel) Use the radial wheel to activate surveillance mode for your Arambourgiania. You can have it perched in one place or following you to have a second pair of eyes watching in the sky to make sure you won’t get ambushed by any aerial creatures or foes. It will raise its neck as high as it can go in order to detect and alert the tribe of any aerial foes, especially ones from other tribes inbound from incredible distances. If these foes get too close, the Arambourgiania will prepare a launch with its wings to give it a huge momentum boost before the enemy can get away. While in proximity of the enemy, the Arambourgiania will unleash an ear-piercing territorial screech that forces all aerial enemies, even the largest of foes such as wyverns, to retreat. But don’t worry about your Arambourgiania being lured away by the enemies, it has developed a very helpful territorial adaptation in which the Arambourgiania will return back to its original position if it goes too far. Keep in mind this ability is not usable while being ridden. Patrol Mode - (Surveillance Mode Option) Can be activated while in surveillance mode. Instead of standing still and surveilling one area or following you, the Arambourgiania will fly around a designated path, searching for potential threats. To set up the patrol route, you click “Draw Patrol Route” on the radial wheel. Fly in the route that you want your Arambourgiania to patrol. To end the patrol route, fly back to the point you started it at. If you want it to fly in a circle around your base, fly in a circle and have it connect to where you started it. Keep in mind that there is a limit of how far it can go while patrolling. (This is kind of like the monkey ace from Bloons Tower Defense) Launch - (Hold Space During Take-Off) The Arambourgiania naturally uses this while on surveillance mode, but while being ridden the Arambourgiania unleashes an incredibly powerful gust of wind that sends it hurling forward, giving it a huge momentum boost in the air, all thanks to its enormous wings (Longer you charge the further and faster you go). Fishing - (Press V) The Arambourgiania primarily eats fish, so it's taken the time to master the art of fishing. While riding it, take it near a body of water and you will be able to begin fishing. It will stick its neck under water. If you don’t yet have a saddle for the creature, simply take it near a body of water and enable “Begin Fishing”. The chances of receiving more fish/treasure will increase by adding points into the new “Fishing” stat in its inventory. You can also receive more loot by adding bait onto the saddle, similar to a fishing rod. If you are above a body of water mid-flight, the Arambourgiania is able to swoop and dip its neck under water to catch fish. If it catches fish this way, it will replenish some stamina while flying. So instead of having to land for a stamina break, you can just fly over water and catch fish. Resource Locator - (Hold R) Give the command by holding R to choose what material you want from the radial wheel and select what you want. It will use its incredible eyesight to pinpoint whatever materials you need. For example, if you wish for it to find metal nodes, just give it the command and wait for it to see if there are any nearby. If there is, it will make a little call and wait for you to either follow it or ride it. It will then begin to fly to the resource in question. Skyward Swoosh - (Double-Tap Space In The Air) While flying, the Arambourgiania can propel itself upward. This can be useful to gain elevation, or to retreat from enemies. Sap Sip - (Right Click When On Or Next To Tree) While riding the Arambourgiania, simply go up to any tree that allows for sap to be collected from a sap collector and puncture the tree with the Arambourgiania’s large beak. After some time, the Arambourgiania will begin to harvest sap from the tree. You can also do this by wrapping yourself around the tree which can be done by pressing space when flying next to it. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Taming Method The Taming Method for the Arambourgiania is very fun and exciting! The first step should be rather calm, if you know what you’re doing, of course… First, find an Arambourgiania near a body of water, fishing peacefully. Secondly, you want to make sure you’re suited up in a Ghillie suit and join the Arambourgiania in fishing. Make sure not to sit too close, or too far. While fishing, the Arambourgiania will slowly begin to become aware of your presence, but won’t care too much since it’s concluded that you’re not a threat if you haven’t attacked it during that whole time. After a while, the Arambourgiania will trust you so much to an extent where it will guide you to its nest. Once you arrive at the nest, you will have to help defend its newly-born offspring by fighting off waves of enemies that are trying to attack the Arambourgiania’s offspring. During these waves, the Arambourgiania will alert the player of incoming enemies from very far distances by using its screech. Defeat all the enemies while keeping the offspring protected and the Arambourgiania will allow you to take one of its offspring. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Mating The mating process for this creature is quite unique as well. You only actually need one tamed Arambourgiania in order to do this. Male Method When you enable mating on a male Arambourgiania, it will let out a mating call. You will then hear another mating call from a wild female Arambourgiania in the distance. Follow the Arambourgiania to its mate and let them breed. Though uncommon, there is a chance it could mate with a female Arambourgiania that is owned by another tribe if mating is enabled on both. Now you might be wondering, “Another tribe? But who would take the offspring?’ Well the answer is that they will produce TWO babies, one that’s reserved for you, and one for the other tribe. (Its mating call will find one close to its original level) Female Method When mating is enabled on a female Arambourgiania, it will let out a mating call that draws wild males towards it. It will patiently await a male's approach to mate with. While slightly slower than the male method, this process is automatic while the male method is manual, making both methods useful in their own ways. Like the male, this call can attract mates from other tribes if mating is enabled on both. (Its mating call will attract ones that are close to its original level) ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Why You Should Vote For The Arambourgiania Why should it be in Ark? Fun & Unique Abilities: The amount of diverse abilities this creature has not only makes the creature useful, but extremely fun to use as well, encouraging players to explore its full potential. Surveillance Gimmick: With its far eyesight, the Arambourgiania changes how players approach exploration. Being able to identify resources, and potential threats from afar is a game-changer. Patrol Routes: Its ability to follow designated patrol routes introduces a new level of strategic planning and defense to Ark. This allows players to strategize a more tactical method to base protection, or to just recreate Bloons TD Mobility: Regardless of its big size, the Arambourgiania is an extremely mobile creature, making it a viable flier for traveling. Fishing: The Arambourgiania's fishing talent provides you with an alternate resource gathering method, allowing you to set up an automatic fishing farm. Resource Gathering: Its resource-locating abilities and beak-based collection methods change the game for resource gathering, which can make grinding a less frustrating process PvE & PvP Perks: Arambourgiania's unique abilities offer advantages for both modes. Its surveillance, warning, and combat abilities lend themselves to both cooperative and competitive gameplay, ensuring its usefulness across various gameplay styles. New Flier: There have been winners for land and water creatures in previous votes, but the sky is still empty. No flying creature has won the vote so far. It might seem like there are already a lot of flyers, but there are only about 20 rideable fliers available in the game, with only a few being viable to even use. Your vote could change the game and bring a new flier to ARK: Survival Ascended! Why does this creature fit into extinction? Unique Appearance: The Arambourgiania's distinctive long neck, colossal size, and unique visual features make it a perfect fit for the otherworldly atmosphere of Extinction Aggressive Environment: With all of the corrupted creatures in Extinction, it's easy to get ambushed by pteranodons or wyverns. With the Arambourgiania on your side, you wouldn't have to worry about that anymore, because its screech would force them to retreat, ensuring your territory is not trespassed. Resource Scarcity: The Arambourgiania's resource location ability deals with Extinction's resource scarcity, allowing players to identify nearby materials that you would probably pass by if it weren't for the Arambourgiania. Extinction’s Defense Minigames: As the most territorial creature in the game, the Arambourgiania will make defending beacons and element nodes a piece of cake. It would warn you of incoming waves and scare off corrupted fliers.

The custom recipes in Ark 1 are pretty lackluster. All you can do is choose if its a cheeseburger or a soda can and change the color of it. I hope this system gets a rework in Ark 2 with mabye foods being able to give you custom effects.

What's your favorite flyer? Believe it or not, theres not actually too many flyers in the game.

Hallucigenia, The Walking “Hallucination” Real Life Facts: The Hallucigenia was a distinctly shaped creature in the Cambrian Era. It walked on its tendrils, which made it unique from other creatures. The Hallucigenia was given its name because people thought it looked like a hallucination. The Hallucigenia went extinct during the Cambrian-Ordovician extinction event about 488 million years ago. ──────────────────────────────────────────────────── Description: The Hallucigenia, an ethereal creature of Aberration, thrives by harnessing the power of water and hallucination. Its versatile tendrils allow it to navigate the harsh terrain with ease, both on land and water. The Hallucigenia is bioluminescent in water and possess hallucinatory abilities, hence the name. Unlike other creatures, the Hallucigenia relies solely on water for sustenance, making trips to lakes a necessity for hydration or using jars and canteens to hydrate it. The Hallucigenia is all about hallucinations, making it fitting for Aberration. ──────────────────────────────────────────────────── Hydration: The Hallucigenia relies solely on water for sustenance, being the only dinosaur in the game that requires water instead of food. If you intend to bring it onto land, make sure to equip yourself with canteens or water jars. Be mindful that some abilities consume water. There is a special irrigation saddle that helps with hydration. (This will be mentioned later) ──────────────────────────────────────────────────── Tendrils: The Hallucigenia tendrils allow it to traverse terrain with ease. It can climb up steep slopes. It can also wrap its tendrils around trees and pillars to climb up them, making it easier to access your elevated tree platforms. Its tendrils also are used in combat. ──────────────────────────────────────────────────── Hallucinations: In the Cambrian Era, people named this creature the Hallucigenia because it looked like a hallucination. So in the Ark-version, this creature will have actual hallucinatory abilities that allow you to outsmart your opponents. These hallucinations also fit with the Aberration theme as some mushrooms in the environment give the same effect. ──────────────────────────────────────────────────── Why This Creature Fits In Aberration: The Hallucigenia fits in Aberration because it is the most optimized for Aberration. It looks distinctive like many other creatures in Aberration and has many traits that would help especially on Aberration. Its hallucinations fit perfectly with this map. ──────────────────────────────────────────────────── Combat: Primary Attack (Left Click) - Tendril Swipe: The tendril will whack the creatures in front of it with a swipe, dealing splash damage. Hold Primary Attack (Hold Left Click) - Charged Tendril Swipe: Charge up the primary attack to deal a more powerful tendril swipe. Secondary Attack (Right Click) - Tendril Thrust: The tendrils are quite sharp, so the Hallucigenia can stab its foes with them. Pressing right click will thrust its tendril and stab a single target. Hold Secondary Attack (Hold Right Click) - Hallucinatory Injection: Charges the tendril with hallucinatory fluid. Once thrusted, this hallucinatory fluid will inject into the target, giving the hallucination effect; distorting vision and suffocating it. Ability (C) - Hallucinatory Pheromones: The Hallucigenia can release pheromones that manipulate the behavior of nearby creatures. It can temporarily control the actions of smaller creatures, causing them to become docile or even turn against their own kind, providing the Hallucigenia with temporary allies or distractions. These pheromones can also drain the energy of nearby electrical or radioactive sources found in Aberration, making this useful for PvP. Ability (X) - Adaptive Appendages: The Hallucigenia has a unique ability to modify the shape and function of its spines and tentacles. It can transform them into sharp defensive structures for protection, or elongate them to serve as grappling hooks, allowing it to climb vertical surfaces or traverse the hazardous terrain of Aberration. Ability (Z) - Splash Sense: The Hallucigenia has the ability to sense the splashes in nearby bodies of water, similar to a parasaur. As you can imagine, this can be very useful on expeditions. ──────────────────────────────────────────────────── Special Irrigation Saddle: The Hallucigenia can be ridden without a saddle, but if you are planning to go on long land expeditions with it, you should probably craft one. The saddle of the Hallucigenia features a complex network of water tubes that connect to its tendrils. The saddle will keep the Hallucigenia hydrated for longer. ──────────────────────────────────────────────────── Taming Method: In order to begin the taming process, you must first craft a fluid lure. This lure essentially is a water pump to entice the Hallucigenia into drinking from it. While the creature indulges, be prepared for potential attacks from other creatures. Your role is to skillfully protect both the Hallucigenia and the fluid lure from incoming enemies without agitating the creature. Strategic defenses such as spiked walls and turrets could be useful in this process. Just don’t build too close to the Hallucigenia, as it may aggravate it. Once it drinks enough water, you’ll have yourself a tamed Hallucigenia. ──────────────────────────────────────────────────── Extra Features: - Bioluminescent in water - Gains buff at max hydration ──────────────────────────────────────────────────── Why should you vote for this creature? - It is the only creature in the game with a water meter - Has a fun and engaging taming process - Has a weird and distinctive look - Can be ridden with or without a saddle - Fun to use - Fits in with the Aberration theme - Useful for PvP and PvE - Unlike any other dinosaur in the game - Abilities optimized for Aberration’s environment

It works for me

I hope the water graphics are good

We will just have to wait till survival ascended comes out.

One of the most important things for the rockwell fight is having a good ranged weapon.

The Ark Ascended version of this dlc is going to be amazing

Can't wait for the game to come out.
