Biology: Gojirasaurus quayi surprises me, and nothing on this derelect Ark should at this point. While I have seen how some creatures have evolved to be resistant to the leaking radiation close to the core of the Ark, Gojirasaurus has somehow evolved a way to weaponize radiation. You would also think them to be walking biohazards, constantly leaking radiation, but they surprisingly contain it well. They do not have a constant supply of radiation, instead generating it with some sort of organ most likely. I cannot say for certain, as I have not been able to dissect one. They do, however, indicate their charge levels with small spines or osteoderms along their spine, which glow in response to their relative charge level. Wild: Gojirasaurus isn't the largest predator, nor is it the most physically strong. Instead, its weaponization of radiation is its key to survival. It's ability to breathe-spit, spew?- radiation conjures imagery of a certain monster from movies, though I cannot quite remember what it is called. There seems to be two distinct varieties of radiation emission: a blob of radioactive goop and what I can only describe as a 'death laser'. The goop it spits sticks to any surface it impacts and the area around it. For a time, that area is highly radioactive, and cannot be navigated through without some sort of radiation protection. I am not sure what isotope it uses, but it does not have a long half life. The 'death laser', is a far more offensive utilization of radiation. Condensing the radiation to a focused point creates such potent heat and radiation it can pierce through even tek. This condensed beam of radiation even affects creatures normally immune to radiation, like reapers and rock drakes. They do not suffer radiation poisoning still though. The sheer offensive power makes me wonder how it hasn't taken over the Ark. The answer is simple, the beast itself is quite frail. In up close engagements, Gojirasaurus would rather run and move to keep distance between itself and it's attacker. Tamed: After discovering this creature, I wondered if it could be tamed. While I did not have any survivor miraculously show up with one of the beasts tamed, I did, upon one expedition to the border of the radiation zone, discover these beasts do not predate upon humans. They seemed rather indifferent to humans, unless they were carrying Element of some kind. Gojirasaurus seems to enjoy Element and Element ore as sort of treats, eating it from the hands of whoever offers it. (Interestingly, the Gojirasaurus seemed to gain charge from eating it! Perhaps they can charge by digesting Element...)They appear large enough to ride, though only just. The issue of taming one then, comes down to aquiring the materials to tame one... And keeping yourself alive in the taming process. The concept with Gojirasaurus is to be living artillery with extreme power but little to no survivability. A glass canon in every sense. In PvP, Gojirasaurus is meant to be used to combat Tek as artillery, firing upon it from a distance to pierce the normally extremely tough building and bring it to heel. Once pierced, they can offer fire support with caution with both their beams and globs of aoe radiation, as its radiation weaponry is capable of friendly fire, and the globs of radiation do not descriminate friend from foe. When fighting against Gojirasaurus, it is important to target the Gojirasaurus and to bring hazard suits. Admittedly, hazard suits break extremely quickly under the death ray, which is advised to be avoided all together. In PvE, Gojirasaurus becomes living artillery that, with enough protection, can deal massive damage to wild creatures and bosses alike. However, it is not meant to be an end all be all weapon, as it requires protection from other creatures, be it with good positioning or a meat shield between it and danger, as under any extended combat it will crumble. (Unlike Godzilla, which yes, it drew insperation from. No need to ask.) When tamed, they generate Radiation passively at a slow rate, which can be accelerated by giving them Element to eat. Different forms give different amounts, with Unstable element giving the most radiation charge, and Element Dust giving the least. To tame them, you simply have to feed them any form of element passively. Of course, doing so will not get the Gojirasaurus to protect you, and while untamed Gojirasaurus don't get attacked by wildlife, you can and most likely will, given that they reside in areas consumed with radiation. They also absorb radiation from the Radiation Zone, charging quicker in such areas. After taming, they eat meat, unless you want to charge them. Feeding them element, doesn't give them food. Just charge. Controls while riding: Left Click: Bite. Nothing fancy Right Click: Radiation bomb/Death Laser. Toggle between the modes by pressing R. Space: Jump.
