  1. Genus: Thalassodromeus sethii Common Name: Thalassodromeus Researched Background Thalassodromeus is a genus of pterosaur that lived in what is now Brazil during the Early Cretaceous period, about a hundred million years ago. Thalassodromeus had one of the largest known skulls among pterosaurs, around 1.42 m (4 ft 8 in) long, with one of the proportionally largest cranial crests of any vertebrate. Though only the skull is known, the animal is estimated to have had a wingspan of 4.2 to 4.5 m (14 to 15 ft). The Thalassodromeus was thought to be a Skimmer Bird - skimming over water's surface and catching fish but also small prey on the coast lands, they later developed to fly in-land in search of opportunistic encounters. Wild Behavior Temperament: Aggressive Diet: Carnivore (but tames off Fish) Thalassodromeus can be seen circling around riverland areas, looking for it's next meal and rarely landing for a break. Unlike the skittish Tapajara and the docile Pteranodon, the intelligent Thalassodromeus sees human survivors as ideal prey but only if it can wear them down. Thalassodromeus utilises lightning fast hit and run tactics to chip away at it's prey until it can feed. When endangered or close to death, the Thalassodromeus will fly away similarly to the Tapajara. While not suited for in-air combat or carrying a ton of heavy resources, the Thalassodromeus excels with high stamina, and is a great hunter of the lands and waters below. Domesticated Abilities Gliding & Long Distance Flight Thalassodromeus rarely flaps its wings in the air which is ideal for long distance flights, and will steadily use it's wide wingspan to maintain itself in the air. While it is unable to manuever as smoothly as a Tapajara, the Thalassodromeus is faster and has 2 flight modes to switch between Gliding and Hovering. Loop-the-loop while flying. Because that would be unique and fun! Able to fly and skate across water When the Thalassodromeus flies onto water, it is able to skate across the water at a speed slightly faster than a Bloodstalker and with a Hydrated buff. This can be accelerated if you glide down fast enough. While skating, it may grab creatures on the surface of the water which are smaller than a survivor, including fish to heal itself. The rider won't be dismounted when it interacts with water. Picking up and Chowing down! Can pick up creatures in it's beak up to the size of a survivor and can crunch down on them with it's powerful blade-like, robust jaws. Crunching Bite Attack Head bash attack which inflicts a stun. (15s cooldown) Increased spoiler times for perishables Unique Water-based Passive Taming Method The survivor must submerge themselves in water near a Thalassodromeus which will start the taming process. It will then repeatedly swoop down on onto the water directly above and this will give the survivor a moment to feed them Raw Prime Fish Meat / Superior Kibble. If the survivor isn't completely submerged under water, the Thalassodromeus will attack instead. Be sure to hold your breath well, and keep an eye out for piranhas and other dangers! Open to any suggestions, thanks for reading my submission!
  2. Not sure if it's been suggested but how about being able to shoulder mount it to use as a free grapple hook? Could be able to swing for the cost of stamina/food?
  3. Hatzegopteryx was around 15 feet tall and had a wing span of 30 feet. I understand your point that it's not as big as those creatures you mentioned but why would you do this titan of an azhdarchid a great injustice by placing it inside a cave, rendering it flightless at that, when it's best suited to being on an open island map? This would have been perfect for Ragnarok as a wyvern killer combat mount.
  4. Hatzeg is too big of a dino for Aberration, this isn't the time for a creature of this standard. Especially as the original Hatzeg was an aggressive hunter that ate just about anything, I can't see a flightless passive Hatzeg working on this map. Sorry.
  5. You know, even if this doesn't win - this should be a mod for Ark. Like, this is genius and would be a gamechanger across Ab and clusters with Ab. Bravo.
  6. Head note: I haven't looked around to see if anyone else has proposed this before for other maps, but this is my take on the Thalassodromeus. Genus: Thalassodromeus sethi Common Name: Thalassodromeus Researched Background Thalassodromeus is a genus of pterosaur that lived in what is now Brazil during the Early Cretaceous period, about a hundred million years ago. Thalassodromeus had one of the largest known skulls among pterosaurs, around 1.42 m (4 ft 8 in) long, with one of the proportionally largest cranial crests of any vertebrate.

The Thalassodromeus was thought to be a Skimmer Bird - skimming over water's surface and catching fish but also small prey on the coast lands, they later developed to fly in-land in search of opportunistic encounters. This is ideal for transversing the large map of Ragnarok. Wild Behavior Temperament: Aggressive Diet: Carnivore (but tames off Fish) Then Thalassodromeus can be seen circling around riverland areas, looking for it's next meal and rarely landing for a break. Unlike the skittish Tapajara and the docile Pteranodon, the intelligent Thalassodromeus sees human survivors as ideal prey but only if it can wear them down. For larger adversaries, the Thalassodromeus utilises lightning fast hit and run tactics to chip away at it's prey until it can feed. When endangered or close to death, the Thalassodromeus will fly away similarly to the Tapajara. While not suited for in-air combat or carrying a lot of items, the Thalassodromeus is a great hunter of the lands and waters below.

Primary Attack - Bite Secondary Attack - Head bash attack which inflicts a stun.

Thank you for reading my suggestion.
  7. Having Harpagornis is an exciting prospect as a 'battle mount Argie', there's a workshop Harpa which has the ability to sprint on land by almost skipping. Extra manoeuvrability in the sky including the ability to glide like a Snow Owl would be great. Firearms on the saddle seems a bit too much though. The air dashes could be used similarly to the Pteranodon's spin attack?
