Species - Cryodrakon boreas
Time Period - Late Cretaceous
Diet - Carnivore
Temperament - Aggressive
Wild
Cryodrakon can commonly be found walking or flying along the icy shores of the Center. Unlike its relative, the Quetzalcoatlus, this large azhdarchid does hunt other creatures, using its spear-like beak to pierce fish and smaller prey alike (including humans). However, when faced with larger terrestrial creatures, this behemoth of a azhdarchid opts out of attacking them. Instead, their size acts as a way to intimidate other potential predators from attacking it. It does seem to become more aggressive towards avian targets, however...
Domesticated
Very few tribes have managed to subdue a Cryodrakon. Those who have utilize a special sac found on their neck to shoot icy projectiles at opponents, slowing them down and rendering many unconscious. Some also utilize its aggression towards other avians to dominate the skies.
Potential Abilities and Features
- While lacking the weight and stamina of the Quetzalcoatlus, it makes up for it by being stronger and moving swifter.
- Utilizing a sac on the underside of the neck, it is capable of shooting icy spit at foes, slowing them down and causing torpor to build up (inspired by Garuga's Cryolophosaurus).
- It is not capable of picking up creatures.
- It deals increased damage to any creature classified as a "flyer" in-game. This includes pterosaurs, wyverns, birds, and other flying creatures.
Potential Controls
Left-Click - The Cryodrakon will peck at foes, dealing a debuff that slows avian creatures down significantly and causes them to bleed.
Right-Click - The Cryodrakon will spit ice at opponents, causing them to slow down. It also inflicts a good amount of torpor.
C - The Cryodrakon will suction water into its body from any body of water, allowing the rider to use the right-click attack.
Control - The Cryodrakon will do a bellow, similar to the Quetzalcoatlus.
X - The Cryodrakon will do a barrel-roll, which works in a similar fashion to the Pteranodon's barrel roll.
Taming Method
- To tame the Cryodrakon, the survivor must first use a chain bola to immobilize it. During this time, it is recommended to create a trap around the Cryodrakon to make the next step easier.
- After immobilizing it, the survivor must directly feed narcoberries, narcotic, or bio-toxin to the Cryodrakon.
- After feeding it enough times, the Cryodrakon will be knocked out, allowing you to tame it normally.
Saddle
- The saddle is learned at Level 76, the same level as the Quetzalcoatlus' saddle.
- It requires the same ingredients as the Quetzalcoatlus' saddle as well, albeit in increased amounts:
- 850 Hide
- 750 Fiber
- 150 Cementing Paste
- 100 Silica Pearls
