Hello I am provogamer17, I like ark very much and also the map extinction. One thing I always found very unfortunate was that extinction was the only DLC map without a shoulder cap. Therefore, I present to you all the Adelobasileus, Shoulderpet Extinction never had, automatic egg collector and more. I think the Adelo fits pretty well in the Extinction area since it is around a city (where rat-like creatures like the Adelobasileus thrive), also I think the Adelobasileus fits well in the Sulfur area in Exstinction since there is no special dino/creature there yet. This is my very first creature submission and I'm totally open to any changes that could make sure the Adelobasileus has a chance to get into the game. Happy reading! Wild: Adelobasileus is found in the abandoned city and Sulfur area on the wondrous world of Extinction. He tends to thrive in the shadows, where he can feast on the food items left behind by the disappeared survivors and small dinos such as lystrosaurs or insects, further, Adelobasileus likes to steal eggs from dinos and then keep them. Temperament: Adelobasileus is a peaceful omnivore and generally does not show aggressive behaviour unless harassed at night. It will try to flee rather than fight but in the night it would be more willing to fight, as the Adelobasileus turns into a larger version of itself that is very aggressive due to its diseases. This larger version of Adelobasileus is as big as a megalania, has red eyes and has a bit of a corrupted skin and he can fight well. Characteristics: Adelobasileus in its small form is an animal distinguished by its slender physique. It has unique teeth with sharp teeth suitable for biting dinos and humans, with this bite adelobasileus applies a decaying bacteria that causes the victim to contract a disease. This disease causes the image to become increasingly dark/blurry and the victim will die as the flesh of his body is eaten from within by the rotting bacteria. Adelobasileus in its large form has red eyes and is slightly corrupted making it a strong fighter. The Adelobasileus likes the night but is not a nocturnal creature like the Megalosaurus. Domestication: Taming Adelobasileus can be challenging because of its fast and agile movements. Adelobasileus is a passive tame and you can only tame it when it is night. Before taming, Adelobasileus must not notice you with its big red eyes and corrupted skin otherwise it will attack you. When close enough to passively feed it, you have to feed it Lesser Antidote. When you have fed the Lesser Antidote, the Adelobasileus will no longer have the decaying bacteria for a while and the Adelobasileus will become smaller, but the Adelobasileus will remain aggressive. You have to do this until the Adelobasileus is small enough (glowtail size) for the next step to begin. This is the time to render the Adelobasileus unconscious and feed it with spoiled meat. Usage: Although Adelobasileus does not have specific abilities useful for survival tasks such as being able to gather with it, it can be kept as a rare and strong companion for on your back or as the larger version of itself. Adelobasileus, when tamed, can be taken over by its tamer (like the Noglin) and can attach itself to a survivor or dino with its incredible jumps and speed. Once on the survivor or dino, it bites it and administers its decaying bacteria. Furthermore, the Adelobasileus can be used as an automatic egg picker for in your base with your mating dinos. This ensures that you can keep your dinos mating when you are not in your base and thus your eggs will not die while they are on the ground. These eggs will not be eaten and will not spill into the Adelobasileus. The other way you can use the Adelobasileus is to make him the bigger version by giving him no lesser antidote which makes the diseases take over and make him big and strong. Small Adelo Attacks: 1) Scavenger Rage (Shoulder Mounted) Players may toss the Adelo at a target in an attempt to attack them, giving the player control over the Adelo, as their character stays in place. Pressing the “Access Other’s Inventory” button will allow players to go back to their character 2) Engage Scavenger Rage (Adelo Tossed With No Target) If you toss the Adelo when mounted on your shoulder, it will allow you to control it by interacting with it using the “Use” button. This gives you control over the Adelo, allowing you to move and act with the Adelo while your character stays behind. 3) Scratch Jump (Controlling Adelo) While controlling the Adelo, pressing the ADS or Alternate Fire button will cause it to pounce/jump forward to latch and scratch whichever creature it comes in contact with first. You will notice the Adelo will be latched on to the target creature’s back. 4) Disease overload (Controlling Adelo) While controlling the Adelo, you can use a bite that gives the enemy a disease that causes the enemy to bleed to death and become increasingly blinded. Big Adelo Attacks: 1) Wall Climb Using its sharp claws, the Adelo is capable of climbing different surfaces to get over obstacles or to stay hidden from enemies. 2) Disease Overload The Adelo attack can affect its target with bacterial diseases, draining their health(by bleeding) and their sight by blinding them. (can be cured with Lesser Antidote.) 3) Jump The Adelo can jump very high because it is rat-like and thus not super heavily built. 4) Tail swipe The Adelo can use its tail to deliver a good blow to enemies around it/behind it. 5) Latching The Adelo can latch onto dinos but only dinos larger than itself. This latching causes the dino to bleed and can see less.
