https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Majungasaurus Majungasaurus is a large theropod native to Aberration's fertile and bioluminescent zones. Unlike its real-world equivalent, the Majungasaurus found roaming the Ark are around the size of a Rex. Manjungasaurus are faster than their Tyrannosaurian counterparts, but deal moderately less damage - their health is around the same though. The primary draw for taming a Majungasaurus in spite of being weaker than a Rex upfront is that, under the effects of Charge Light it deals heavily increased damage. Additionally, they have a corpse eating ability similar to Argentavis, which heals slower but has an extended duration. Last but not least, they are immune to radiation and the gas nodes found on Abberation and their saddle provides their rider with those traits as well. As with Rex, most Majungasaurus are a standard knockout tame. However, this only applies to Majungasaurus in the Fertile zone. In the wild, Majungasaurus located in the Bioluminescent zone are born infected with a fungus that causes them to become extremely aggressive, even for a carnivore, attacking both carnivores and herbivores alike without regard for their own safety. This infection makes it impossible to tame them with standard methods. The only way to tame them is knock them out - a task easier said than done because the fungus rapidly drains their torpor - and force feed them Lesser Antidotes, curing them and earning you their trust. Majungasaurus from the Bioluminescent zone have a few advantages over ones from the Fertile zone. For starters, they generate their own charge light during the day, which triggers their powerup as well. Secondly, while under the effects of charge, they heal rapidly. This does come at a slight cost, as they no longer immune to radiation (their saddle still provides their rider with immunity to it however), though their daytime healing allows them to counteract this. Their babies are born infected as well. This causes them to lose food far quicker until they are cured with a Lesser Antidote, and if they grow up without being cured they lose control. While out of control this way, they will become aggressive, ignoring orders and attacking both friend and foe, similar to a Giga's rage (albeit without the deadly power boost). This lasts until they are knocked out and cured in the same manner as their wild relatives. In summary, Majungasaurus would be an apex-class dinosaur that is designed to combo well with Abberation's natural conditions, a replacement for everyone's favorite boss-killer: Rex. They would also make Lesser Antidotes more useful simply by existing, as the better Majungasaurus variant needs them for its taming and breeding processes. Thanks for reading! I hope you all found this idea interesting even if you didn't like the idea itself. I figured that a creature that is prone to infections would be a neat twist and reference to real-world ecosystems, as unlike the Ark, real animals get sick. The fungal infection is also on theme with Aberration, so I figured that would be neat too. If you aren't going to vote for this, I would still value your feedback as I might get into Ark modding someday and this would be first on my list of additions.
