  1. Its a new dawn in ark, so I submit Eogyrinus, The Dawn Tadpole for your consideration! My ideas for Eogyrinus is how I feel will be best for the needs of aberration and its limits to your exploration and mobility. The all terrain ability will allow you to maneuver though the complex map and will help reflect the personality of this creature and its curious nature by enabling it to be your best companion on the map. Its unique abilities allow for underwater breathing, stunning enemies that obstruct your path, a massive light to see, jellyfish immunity, and being able to use its saddle as a power source to allow for utilizing electrical structures on the go. Nothing should stand in your way as you move to help your friends or explore your surroundings. Facts Eogyrinus Atthetyi was 15 to 20 ft long and lived in the Carboniferous era in Britain amongst the ancient swamps. Its highly adapted to swimming and living in moist humid environments. This creature was speculated to be a relative of another species Pholiderpeton another extinct genus which was named before Eogyrinus in 1869 by Thomas Henry Huxely however no new evidence has been submitted to support this claim so Eogyrinus remains its own creature. The ancient salamander was known to be a piscivore and a carnivore eating anything that it could fit in its mouth. Eogyrinus is also speculated to be an ancient relative of the creatures we know as salamanders. Specifically tiger salamanders and their kin which includes axolotls. Tiger salamanders are direct relatives with axolotls only having evolved from tiger salamanders in the past 1000 years! Due to isolation in cave environments this creature has become adapted and has quickly evolved to change to its needs. Eogyrinus lived in a time where it had no other equal other then its own species however on the ark it has adapted to defend itself as it hunts for prey in the dark. Dossier Wild! Eogyrinus is a sleek amphibious creature who navigates the rivers and waters of caves and swamps with ease. This remarkable creature is not only one of the most adorable, but amazing creatures on the ark. It has several unique abilities. I have found that this creatures bioluminescence has mutated into what I consider a flash of blinding light. This flash like a photograph blinds it's foes and causes them to become blinded, stunned, and immobile. This Creatures second ability to provide oxygen to others around itself can make it great to dive around. If that weren't enough this creature has a strange appetite for illuminating fish and animals. Eating so many has made it quite immune to their defensive electricity. Wild Eogyrinus can be found on cave walls or in rivers searching for food. It typically hunts alone you can spot them by looking for its bright glow. It illuminates the area. Taming thoughts This creature is passive to the survivor. Either riding it around eating glowing animals or fish like electrophorus angler, and jellyfish can tame it. Or the creature can be escorted around blinding wild animals and the more it blinds the more tame it becomes. Other thoughts include feeding it angler gel after knocking it out, or sacrificing angler or electrophorus to tame it. Domesticated. At first I thought it wasn't very intelligent, following me home after feeding it my angler fish, however I was very wrong. It was curious about everything it noticed my glider suit and indicated that it wanted one too by jumping up and down when i flew about. This gave me an idea. Give it wings. Our tribe was able to modify two saddles. One with a standard glider suit. The other a tek saddle. The glider suit could retract the wings on land and water. The tek saddle required element, yet could soar like our suits and it can seat two of us. The other thing it required was our tek generator. The generator still works as a generator powering whats near it. But its happy now and that makes me happy too. Illuminating our home and powering it is handy. So is the dazzling defense it brings. Don't fly over my house. Saddles and Abilities Saddles There is intended to be two saddles for this tame. The glider saddle can be crafted as a standard saddle and works as basic armor and functions as a glider suit for the animal. Just like the roll rat the saddle wears down over time and you need to replace it. It will let it glide like the drake. The tek saddle is intended for the end game after defeating rockwell. It has the capabilities to hover and fly like tek suits in the air and going fast like the Tropi. In water the saddle allows for faster speeds like the shadowmane. The saddle requires a tek generator to make it and element or element ore to power it. It functions as a medium to low range tek generator around the animal powering electrical and tek structures like incubators, cameras, tek crop plots, fridges, turrets, cloner, tek troughs, and more. This ability will allow multiple small bases to be powered when you need them to be. Other uses is for helping others on the go by powering an item placed near their base when they need it like a fridge or an incubator. The versatility makes this a fantastic option for caves. Abilities Eogyrinus has a standard light pet ability that illuminates a wide area. It's second Ability is to provide oxygen to you when underwater so you can breath around it. It doesn't need oxygen to breath underwater. You can level up the oxygen duration in its stats. It's third Ability Flash Photography, Blinds foes and immobilizes them in air or land. On land this causes them to pause and stay locked in place for a cool down duration. In air the foe is forced to land with little no fall damage just like the effects of a whip. In the water the foe is feared and runs away. Players effected by this blind are hit with the plant z effects while mounted. If you are caught flying you will be blinded and your mount will fall from the air. Fourth is Immune to electricity This means that jellyfish cannot hurt you. Fifth is all terrain. air water climb and fly The last ability is the Mobile tek generator while element or element ore is in its inventory the saddle produces a power range that powers structures. Personality and side notes This creature is a passive creature and should be seen as fun loving and humorous. Very approachable and will follow the player around to the players humor. I based my designs for this creature off of several inspirations including Stitch from Lilo and Stitch, Toothless from how to train your dragon, and my very own pet Tiger salamander Glaurung. sketches My Experience I designed and created this version to be an Ideal ark companion based of the experiences I have had with my own pet. Glaurung Glaurung my pet tiger salamander had taught me a side to salamanders that I never knew existed. His behavior surprised me so much that he became my best friend. He was able to recognize me out of everyone else in the house. When I got home he ran to the glass wall of his cage to greet me and would put his hand upon the glass. He would wear dirt like a hat and it was adorable. He would follow me around when he was active and disliked it when I left. He would pout. Glaurung begged to be held and petted even though I couldn't often due to his skin. I didn't know salamanders were capable of such a level of attachment. Most of all he felt most comfortable in places he dreamed of being but couldn't. He left a profound effect on me in a terrible and challenging time in my life. I designed my creature with him in mind. His dreams of sky is the limit made me want to give him wings to reach it. Glaurung is no longer with us due to a sudden organ failure. So I have dedicated this creature to him. Being with him was amazing and I wont get an experience like it again. I hope in this design that you as a player get to have that same feeling I had with him. Eogyrinus has been a passion project for me and has been for a while now. Even though I am shy, I wanted to share with my community something that I loved and discovered that was too important to me to keep to myself. All this art was done by myself and I hope you enjoy my personal flair as well as my late buddy Glaurung. I am always open to suggestions so please give my creature a thought. Thanks for reading!
