The manipulator was found as only one specimen encased in amber 100 million years old. It resembled a cockroach but with long legs and arm-like appendages similar to a praying mantis. My edition would be the size of a rex and fly. Abilities: Main attack is a bite/claw swipe that inflicts bleeding. Like a shadowmane, the attack gets faster as you keep doing it, but only while the manipulator is flying. At full speed, it starts to hit with such force that flying creatures hit by it are stunned and their riders dismounted if they are tamed creatures. Also pierces through armor completely. Manipulators are also able to pick up creatures while flying with their legs. Creatures up to the size of a stego can be picked and carried. Manipulator Goo: The Manipulator has three different types of goo that it can swap through according to it's needs. "Slippy Goo" For catching prey in tight spaces, it can produce a slippery, lubricating goo that makes it easier for the bug to squeeze into cracks and crevices to find smaller creatures. This goo can be harvested off the Manipulator and applied to a survivor to make them slippery enough to easily escape bolas and nets, along with making them fireproof. "Burny Goo" Burny goo is used as a defense mechanism that reflects damage and applies a debuff to melee attackers while breaking their armor. It works on dinosaurs as well and is a great way to enrage gigas that dare to attack. It can't be harvested for obvious reasons but is great for pvp against tougher opponents. "Sticky Goo" A big problem in ark pvp is speed, especially among players. Sticky goo solves that problem. Attackers are slowed by the goo and the Manipulator leaves a trail of the stuff wherever it walks. The trail can slow dinosaurs and players(be warned it works on allies as well, the only creature immune to it is the Manipulator itself). The manipulator can spit the Burny and Sticky goo variants as projectiles for it's third attack, the burny goo variant is just a basilisk poison ball, while the sticky variant is a large and explosive araneo web ball. Saddle Design: The Manipulator's saddle is similar to a magmasaur saddle. It features an enclosed metal compartment for the primary rider, while it has a passenger seat with a built-in ballista attachment capable of shooting chain bolas and spear bolts. Passive Abilities: 30% resistance to ballistic damage(bullets, arrows, etc.) Ground Sense: The Manipulator can feel even the slightest vibrations in the ground when landed, allowing it to detect nearby dinosaurs within 30 meters, and submerged purlovias, reapers, and death worms within 15 meters. Like most arthropods, the Manipulator is immune to torpor damage. Redirection: The manipulator can take negative debuffs such as shadowmane poison or lymantria spores out of it's system and transfer them to it's claws, applying the debuffs to enemies when hitting them. Maneuverable: The Manipulator can fly like a griffin/desmodus in the air, moving in any direction while looking in one. Noglin Immunity: The Manipulator is able to use it's burny goo to expel parasites such as leeches or noglins, doing so automatically when it senses their presence. Beer Maker: The Manipulator has fermenting properties found in it's saliva that can ferment berries into beer liquid. Noglin Remover: The Manipulator can use it's precise claws to dig noglins and leeches out of fellow tames with it's main attack, at a small cost of the tame's health. Taming: The Manipulator is highly aggressive and will attack players and their tames on sight. To solve this, you must wear bug repellent, which will cause it to pick you instead. Then feed it any kind of meat or extraordinary kibble to tame it. Be careful not to hurt it during this process. It will also drop you if your bug repellent runs out. DISCLAIMER: The art isnt mine cuz im doodoo at making my own i found it on google images.

Name: Segnosaurus Diet: Herbivore Genus: therizinosaurid Height: 6 meters Weight: 1.4 tons Time period: Late Cretaceous The Segnosaurus would a be a combination of a medium tank herbivore, and a medium mount carnivore like the baryonyx. This will be a semi quick run down on the Segnosaurus design, abilities, nature, and taming method. Design The design is of course based off of the real Segnosaurus, but also based off of modern day peacocks. The male Segnosaurus will be very vibrant in colors having multitude of colors; mainly colors that are natural to peacocks so that color mutations can still be noticed. Also like peacocks the female would be dull in color, and this will be important for taming. The Segnosaurus will also be extremely feathery, being almost completely covered in feathers with more around the arms, hands, and tail. Abilities 1. The first ability is rather simple, the ability to have a slight jump giving a bit more movement over most other tanky herbivores 2. The second ability will be to scoop up smaller creatures (E.x. Dodos, or shoulder mounts) and hold them in its claws. Its claws will be together in a hammock fashion with the creature on top. When holding a creature the Segnosaurus will attack with its mouth doing slightly less damage. 3. The third and final ability is what I call “fearful feathers” in which the Segnosaurus will do a roar/call and puff up its feathers, and widen its tail feathers like a peacock. This ability will give the fear affect to smaller creatures, having them run away. Not only this the Segnosaurus will enter a “attack mode” for a short time, this mode will give the Segnosaurus’s attacks armor piercing with in the mode. This mode will end when the feathers on the Segnosaurus relax and it goes back to a normal size. This mode will activate untamed and can be activated when tamed, and when activated the player with still have full control of the Segnosaurus. Nature In the wild the Segnosaur’s aggressiveness will depend on what is attacking or near it. If a wild dinosaur attacks the Segnosaurus it will attack back like neutral herbivore, this also applies to tamed creatures. The difference is when the player is near, if the player is wearing nothing, cloth, hide, or fur the Segnosaurus will remain neutral and not attack; if the player is wearing: desert cloth, ghillie, chitin, or flak the Segnosaurus will detect the player a threat activate fearful feathers, and attack the player; if the player is wearing: Scuba, hazard suit, riot, or TEK the Segnosaurus will detect the player as a threat acting fearful feathers, but run away, because it knows the player is too far advanced for the Segnosaurus to kill you. Taming The Segnosaurus will have a pretty unique way to tame it: 1. If the Segnosaurus is male you will need to color your armor dull colors to attract it, if the Segnosaurus is female you will need to color your armor bright colors to attract it. The player willl be able to tell if it’s attracted by a minor call the Segnosaurus will do. After the Segnosaurus approaches you depending on which gender your taming will determine what you do next. If you are taming a male it will initiate a “mating dance” once it does it’s dance the player will need to passive feed the Segnosaurus it’s preferred food than do an emote to accept the dance, than repeat these steps till tamed. Taming a female will be nearly the same except that the player will have to initiate the dance, so the female Segnosaurus will approach the player, and the player will have to passive feed it the preferred food, and do an emote to initiate the dance, than the female will dance and repeat the emote and feed pattern. Preferred food: Exceptional kibble, Can be tamed with berries Drops: Keratin, prime meat, meat, and hide (Image inspired by Jurassic World The Game)
