The sinotyranus is the perfect mount for anyone who is looking to go to war. My suggestion would be to replace the carchar with this on valguaro. It would mainly be a boss fighter for PVE but in PVP it would be a destructive mount as it is capable of destroying the walls of a fortress and leading an army of Rexes to victory. It would also one of the very few ark creatures to have sexual dimorphism with very different abilities. Dossier Wild The sinotyranus seems to enjoy murder and will hunt down large animals for fun. It is slightly larger than a rex but quite a bit more agile. In the wild it will live in any environment and will move constantly searching for new prey. They are a completely solitary and rare creature which is good because if their were too many every ecosystem in the ark would be decimated by their cruel hunting sport. I have even witnessed one scaling a small cliff with ease in the pursuit of a nearby ovis. After a sinotyranus eats any mutton it will go into a craze with greater strength but an even stronger need for blood. It could be possible to domesticate this beast by first shooting it with a rocket and then feeding it mutton waiting for it's craze to wear off and repeating the process until it runs out of energy and will fall asleep and can be fed any meat. Domesticated One time I had arrived in a decently large settlement and a man riding on a male sinotyranus that had a massive turret saddle destroyed the entire place with ease. I almost lost my life. But if that one destroyed a city imagine what a pack of these and rexes could do. This is certainly one of the deadliest tamable creatures on this ark. It seems to have a natural affinity for rexes and will embolden your tamed rexes however if you keep two sinotyranus of the same gender close to each other for too long it could result in a fight to break out. Saddles Basic saddle Unlocks at level 40 and does nothing Male Artillery saddle Unlocks at level 85 and has a large triple barrel machine gun on the top as well as two smaller ones on the sides for passengers. Also it gives the sinotyranus a cool helmet like the dreadnoughtus. Female Net saddle Unlocks at level 85 and has a large net launcher on top as well as two traunq guns on the side it does also give the sinotyranus a cool helmet but no head bash Here is a drawing made by yours truly of the turret saddle for the male. The sinotyranus would be able to pick up small and medium sized creatures and rip them apart. The sinotyranus would be able to go to boss fights The sinotyranus would be between the size and strength of the T-Rex and the giga The sinotyranus and the T-Rex both get a small boost to their health and damage when close to each other. However having two sinotyranus near each other of the same gender for to long will cause them to fight each other until one is extremely low health The sinotyranus would drop sinotyranus feathers which would be used to make a sinotyranus ghillie suit which is just a better ghillie suit. The sinotyranus would have a head bash/charge attack that is upgraded by the turret saddle and only for the Males. The sinotyranus would be able to scale small cliffs by jumping and climbing up. The turrets cost advanced rifle bullets to fire The Females are slightly weaker but have a different saddle and look to them that is in the comments because I can only have so much. Please don't hesitate to reply I want suggestions, thank you. Also please share. 🙂and may the best creature win!

Plateosaurus: Introducing Plateosaurus The Ying To Deinonychus’ Yang, Adept Chemist, And The New Boss Fighting Dino With A Fiery Personality I know that not everyone will read this whole submission, so I have listed the summary below, but if you read the summary and are interested feel free to read the rest Disclaimer- I created this dossier before Garuga’s Edmontonia was released, I did not steal ideas or concepts from him, it just happened that we both had similar ideas, if you still don't like it, just ignore the fire burn and explosions. I highly regard and respect Garuga’s work. Also, I apologize for the artwork, art definitely isn't my strong suit. Also I'm sorry for the lack of concepts, I wasn't really prepared for this Submission, so I will definingly be more prepared next vote! Summary The Plateosaurus is a large dinosaur with pretty simple but unique abilities. With a relatively simple taming method the plateosaurus will pave the way from mid game all the way until end game. Working in tandem with the yuty’s roar and deinon’s bleed with its rallying below, sound breaking tail whip, and explosive burning hits. Shedding bosses, turning enemies into allies, and leading raids, the Plateosaurus would be an amazing creature to see on the Ark Dossier- Common Name: Plateosaurus Species: Plateosaurus Trossingensis Time: Late Triassic Diet: Omnivore Temperament: Irritable Wild In my day it was commonly accepted that plateosaurus was an early precursor to later larger sauropods such as the Brachi and Dread. In the wild you will always find a mated pair of plateos either nesting or looking for food. The female rests most of the time as the male will protect her and bring her food. If however a creature gets too close to the pair the male will become irritated and bat it away. But if the animal persists the male will become enraged and begin attacking the intruder. Because of its diet of berries and fish the saliva of the plato is highly flammable which it will take full advantage of by throwing sparks with its flint coated claws that it has developed due to its habit of digging through rocks, igniting the aggressor ablaze. Domesticated To tame one of these behemoths you must first tire out the male and slowly pepper it with darts once it is unconscious causing the female to flee, allowing you to tame the male. Taming the plateo you are gifted with a beast of great size and power. To tame the female you must find a pair and challenge the male to combat with yours, if you can best the wild male you will have tamed the female. With its long whip-like tail, sharp claws, and explosive power the plateo is a force to be reckoned with. Using the air sack under its neck the males can charge up a bellow that works very similarly to the yutys roar, buffing allies and scaring smaller aggressors. A plateo paired with a yutyrannus will have a battle cry rallying all tames and even medium sized enemies to swap teams for a short time to take down the larger threat. How to Tame To tame a plateo you must first find the pair, after enraging the male, he will begin to attack you. But because of his large size he will tire out after a while, when he is in his exhausted state you can shoot him with darts or arrows until he either continues attacking you or falls unconscious. Once the male is unconscious the female will flee and despawn. Feeding it a mixture of prime fish meat and berries will allow you to tame the plateo. Taming the female is straightforward, you first have to find a pair and then approach the female on your male plateo. This will enrage the wild male and you will enter a minigame with the male. Interlocking in combat is a dangerous thing for both parties with error either resulting in a loss or death. If you can best the male he will either limp off to later despawn or be killed in combat. Approaching the female you will do your charged bellow and the female will be claimed. Attacks and Abilities LMB, R1, RT- A bite that inflicts the saliva debuff while looking forward, dealing medium damage, holding down this button will be a spit that inflicts a large amount of the saliva debuff. (Debuff is charged like the rhyneo sap debuff, the more on the bar the more the damage from the fire, great for harvesting narcoberries) Looking either left or right will be a directional claw swipe. RMB, L1, LT- will be a push with its front arms doing 0 damage but large knockback. (claw push on rocks would get equal parts stone and flint, great for making sparkpowder) Holding this button will charge up a braci like forward stomp doing large damage. Looking back and holding the button will charge up a sound breaking tail whip that if landed would do massive damage. (The tail whip will be a little challenging to land but if it does, will stun and ignore armor and resistance, this is supposed to be used on larger heavily armored opponents ex. Golems, reapers, great for enraging gigas) C, R3, RSB- The plato will strike its claws together showering sparks over the target. If the target has the saliva debuff it will catch fire. (depending on how much the saliva debuff is stacked the fire will burn longer for a max of 10 seconds, a full bar will result in a explosion doing large damage, and fire burn. Fire burn will only do 5% damage over 10 seconds, will work on bosses, but not fire based creatures ex. fire wyvern, phoenix or pyromane) Left control, L2, LB- A cosmetic roar. (because it should be a crime that none of the voted in creatures have a cosmetic roar) Holding down this button will charge up a rallying bellow that will buff allies, scare smaller targets and turn medium sized aggressors on your side similar to how yuty’s roar works on wild carnos. (roar should work in tandem with the yuty, with yutys adding damage and resistance the plateos will add 25% movement and attack speed, any enemy less that 200 drag weight will be scared off, while enemies 200 to 500 will be turned on your side for a short time. could be used in either raids or boss fights, turning the minions on there master) Space bar, X, A- Holding down this button will allow the plateo to turn in place so it can easier turn to aim its spits, and tail whips. Will be allowed to lay down with the option wheel Saddle Level- 65 The saddle would have a unique design and would work as a mortar and pestle. (Harvests equal parts flint and stone, gets extra narcoberries from bushes, and right click harvests charcoal from trees. The saddle meant to be a middle man between the mortar and pestle and the chem bench, getting double yielded resources from crafts) Concepts Why I believe that the last few votes have given us creatures with a VERY high taming requirement and quite late game with one you even need to beat the bosses to unlock the saddle. The plato is supposed to be a relatively simple creature with no lack of powerful abilities, it is something you should feel proud to ride on charging into battle with your tribemates. I also wanted this dinosaur to be good in both PvE and PvP, being great for boss fights and raiding other players, and it's about time to add a new dinosaur into boss fights instead of just rexes and a yuty. But with the taming process being rather simple these creatures should be decently rare, especially with their usefulness for the late game. And I know that a few people were disappointed with the dread so this suto- sauropod will hopefully put a lot of people at ease and give us a fun new tame to run around on. Does It Fit Does the Plateosaurus fit into Valguaro? Some of the votes gave us creatures that didn't quite seem to be perfect for their respected maps. (such as the Gigantoraptor for rag at the beginning, or the Yi Ling for Aberration) I believe that the plato fits well into Val, with its high mountainous terrain and the vast plains in the white cliffs there are several places the plato would thrive. Everyone knows that Val gave us all a fan favorite, the Deinonychus. A fantastic mid- game mount that could even carry you into the late game with its speed and ferocity, its bleed even working on bosses. I was thinking that the plateo would be something like the Yin and Yang with the deinonychus, where the deinon is fast and agile, the plato is lumbering but powerful, the deinon works well in a pack while the plato is great with just one. The Deinon’s bleed works on bosses, the plateos burn and explosions also do. When working in tandem the bleed and fire will shred through the bosses health, which is needed since there are three on Val. And we haven't quite had a dinosaur that uses fire to this extent, and it adds a fantastical element to this more grounded creature. This behemoth fits quite well with Valguaro with its terrain, wildlife, and the end game goals. Design I went really in depth with the early sauropod with the plateos design. And added some elements from arks sauropods. Such as the armor from the brachi, diplo’s long tail, and Amara like quills on the neck and back. (I added some unique color patterns so folks can go while with the mutations) I was wanting the plato to be bigger than it was in real life to help it fit into its boss killing niche more, which is fine seeing how Ark almost always scales up there creatures. Slightly taller than a rex and about as long as the diplo will make the plateo a pretty threatening force and a looming threat in the early game. Because of its huge size the plateo definitely wouldn’t be very fast or have the best turning range. And of course I added a few artistic liberties such as the air sack under the throat and the quills along its back, The female will have duller colors and patterns while the male is more vibrant and larger. (that would later evolve to be amarga’s spikes) I am very happy with the design and think it fits perfectly into the Ark. Thank you.

Riparovenator is a war-inclined spinosaurid that lived during the Early Cretaceous period. It was found near another spinosaurid known as Ceratosuchops. They were probably in the middle of fighting when they died. Aside from the facts, I very much so ark-ified it. It does not actually have glowing spikes, it probably wasn't even that color, but it looks cool, and it's ARK, so does it really matter? There's literally space whales! Wild Riparovenator Milnerae is an extremely intelligent spinosaurid. In the wild, these clever beasts will hunt down herds of herbivores to kill. By the looks of it, they get a sense of joy from killing herds. When a couple hunts, they are able to take down armies at an alarming rate. When they are separated, they become somewhat weak. Talk about mate boost! The spikes on their backs are formed from the harsh wilderness of this ARK. They're not the best at hiding, as the spikes GLOW in the dark! They don't like fighting alongside other couples, so you could say they prefer more…..variety. Tamed I've heard from other Tribes that these beasties are a pain to domesticate. They told me that Riparovenators will only acknowledge you after you face them in somewhat of a war! I don't know what he meant, but it sounds extremely dangerous. When you acquire two of them, they become ten times more efficient than by themselves. When mate boosted, fighting two or more enemies at the same time makes them stronger, as they begin to play strategically. Their spikes actually fall off sometimes whilst in battle. You can use these spikes as an arrowhead, dealing immense amounts of damage and torpor. Wild babies Wild babies are a thing in ASA, so obviously the babies have a behavior of their own. When the parent is attacked, the baby runs away. When It gets to adolescence, it begins helping the parent fight. In depth gameplay ideas Stronger against armies. This would help with the triple boss fight in Valguero The spikes take time to regenerate. you can't have light forever! Spawns throughout the giant river that runs through the map. Don't create an army of them, or they will lose their special ability. The spikes make great arrowheads, acting as a more effective tranq arrow. Riparo Tranq Arrows can be crafted in the saddle that acts as a mortar and pestle. They get faster the longer they run, similar to a dire bear. Taming Method When a pack of Riparovenators are separated (be that because of the environment or because of you), they will become more passive, as they are not very strong on their own. They are not tameable when they are like this. You must have a full pack. Only the pack leader is tamed. Bring an army of 5 or more creatures near the alpha of the pack, and it will challenge you to a war. Your goal at this point should be to kill the non-pack leader Riparovenators. When the betas are killed, the leader surrenders, and you can continue to feed it until it's healed from war wounds. It becomes tamed when it is fully healed. Attacks and Abilities R2/RT/Left Click: Bite/Slash with Horns L2/LT/Right Click: Tail/Claw slash R3/R/C(only works when around a group of 2 or more enemies) "Army Killer Mode": Riparo does a war cry, then the spikes start flashing, and all enemies nearby become marked, his bite becomes a slash, the tail slash becomes the claw attack, and it deals increased damage to marked enemies. Space: Jump (same height as baryonyx) Passives When mate-boosted, other creatures around them will be given a buff amplifier called "war enticed." This buff makes all incoming buffs 1.5x more effective. This includes healing. Certain creatures are able to counter them easily, as they are used to all-out attacks from creatures: Brontosaurus, Titanosaur, Dreadnoughtus, Paracer, Gigantoraptor, Mosasaurus, Shastasaurus, Tueso, and Diplo. (Ark Additions): Brachi, Deinotherium, Deinosuchus, and Acro all gain a buff against mate boosted Riparos. Boss fights are not included, since they're not quite used to being attacked. Interactions With The Enviornment Riparovenator is passive unless mate boosted, which is most of the time. If there is a herd of creatures in a certain radius, it gets tracked down and probably killed by the Riparovenators. Reasons You Should Vote It's cool It's powerful for PvP AND PvE It looks amazing It's a good travel Dino as well It's a portable mortar and pestle It's a good swimmer It's overall a great dino Saddle Level 45 135 Hide 200 fiber 20 metal ingots 20 wood Made in the Smithy Saddle doesn't really give much more than extra defense, you can also pull your weapon out while on a Riparovenator's back Conclusion I hope the riparovenator is worthy of your vote. If it's not, please let me know why! As always, have a good day, and I'll see you in the next vote!
