Dossier Common Name: Platyhystrix Species: Platyhystrix Statucus Time: Permian Diet: Omnivore Temperament: Skittish Wild Platyhystrix, a small and unusual amphibian found in hostile regions, can defend themselves by releasing a colorful smoke puff when startled. The food they consume allows them to have unique abilities that make them dangerous. Worrisome creatures to tame, startled from the simplest of actions at times, be careful not to breathe in the smoke. Domesticated Platyhystrix can be tamed and used by survivors by feeding them narcotics. The amphibians can release toxic fumes to tranquilize creatures, and with explosive gunpowder, they can become organic bombs. A variety of food can create different effects, just some experimentation to create a dangerous and explosive friend. Potential Base Stats and Spawning Health: 150 Stamina: 100 Oxygen: N/A Food: 500 Weight: 100 Melee Damage: 8 (Bite) | 35 (Explosion) Torpidity: 200 Platyhystrix is found within a variety of waterways and river systems, while inhabiting the swamp and rainforests of ragnarok. Taming Platyhystrix is a passive-tame, skittish however, so wearing ghillie is necessary to approach sometimes. It wants an assortment of foods, similar to moschops, but instead it wants gunpowder, oil, sap, narcotics, stimulants, biotoxin, ammonite bile, and sand. Abilities & Functions Explained Platyhystrix is a shoulder-pet, with the bog-standard shoulder-pet features. However, when given certain delicious ingredients, you can allow them to commit chemical warfare and break the geneva convention, since Geneva doesn’t exist in ark, don’t worry it’s a suggestion now. But at least the Platyhystrix is immune to the assorted debuffs, except you know exploding itself. Gunpowder - Causes a dangerous explosion, your platyhystrix can take damage from this localized detonation, however it can survive typically. Oil - When it releases this cloud, a fire-arrow or attack causes the cloud to ignite into flame burning anything inside it. Sap - It causes anyone inside the cloud to become slowed or stuck with enough time, allowing you to release a few-shots until the debuff is gone. Narcotics - As average, the narcotics create a sleep-mist, providing torpor to whatever that stands within it. It can cause a decent amount of armor-ignoring torpor, however, it’s small and squishy. Stimulants - Opposite of Narcotics, had a creature that was bitten from a rogue Dilophosaurus? You can awaken it instead, with a mist of anti-torpor, you want 100% correct on effectiveness yeah? Biotoxin - It causes paralysis, stun-locking a target into paralysis, helpless to your attacks where sap allows a target to attack but slowly. Ammonite Bile - Pheromone Darts in gaseous form, want everything to hate a particular target? Choose Ammonite Bile, want to have basically the entire forest attempting to kill a singular raptor, this is for you. Sand - Pocket Sand, a mysterious blinding cloud of sand, how? It’s somehow just able to expel sand-clouds outside itself after munching on sand.

Wild: Never have I met something so annoying on one of these Arks. Cacops Magnastrido, or usually just called Cacops, are small pest found in droves by the rivers of the jungle. They've been known to scream all day without any known reason, but some tribes insist they do it just to mess with them. The real problem introduces itself though when battles begin, with screams so loud it's been thought you can hear them on the other side of the Ark! It's a miracle any tribe hasn't brought them to extinction yet. Domesticated: For the few crazy enough to want these around, they're shockingly easy to obtain. Requiring only your presence, some raw meat and a lack of eardrums you can have your own living alarm. system I've heard from the larger tribes that with enough in a small area, the screams get so loud they can actually disorientate both rider and mount. If that wasn't enough, their screams can wake even the most sleep deprived of survivors, with them being so startled they find it almost impossible to sleep afterwards, no matter the solution.

Common Name: Beelzebufo Species: Beelzebufo palucocus Time: Late Cretaceous Diet: Carnivore Temperament: Languorous Wild: Beelzebufo palucocus is the largest frog I've ever seen. Almost impossibly large, it can actually fit a full grown human adult on its back, though just barely. This is a dangerous prospect, though, as secretions from Beelzebufo's skin and saliva have a narcotic effect on most creatures. Not surprisingly, Beelzebufo is adept at killing insects. In fact, it kills most insects near-instantly, and quickly digests them. It even combines the narcotic chemicals in its mouth with the insects' chitin to create a sticky substance, allowing it to quickly grab prey from afar, and yielding a form of cementing paste. Domesticated: Tamed Beelzebufo make for strange mounts. Strange mounts for strange people. Many tribes don't believe there's any reason to ride them. But some like the ability to take large vertical hops up huge walls and cliffs. Regardless of how it is ridden, Beelzebufo is also employed for its ability to quickly cull insects, and convert them into always-useful cementing paste.-

Common Name: Diplocaulus Species: Diplocaulus Natatorinutrix Time: Permian Diet: Piscivore Temperament: Skittish Wild: Presiding almost solely within island's swamps, Diplocaulus Natatorinutrix is a small amphibian that primarily eats minor fish. It rounds out what I consider the middle-bottom of the ecosystem, feeding on the tinier non-insect creatures of the island while itself being a common snack for the larger carnivores. Because so many creatures prey on it, Diplocaulus has become very skittish and often flees at the first sign of trouble. It uses its amphibious nature to escape into whichever environment its predator isn't native to. Diplocaulus unique capability to retain vast quantities of oxygen allows to effectively remain submerged for hours at a time, usually outlasting even other amphibious creatures that might otherwise prey upon it. Domesticated: There are only a few uses for tamed Diplocaulus. It is primarily used for the (rather disgusting) practice of employing Diplocaulus as an oxygen bag. Diplocaulus stores air in the bladders of its head, and divers can suck from these bladders to take deep breaths while submerged, supporting long-term underwater exploration without the use of external gear.-
