Boverisuchus - the terrestrial bipedal croc
StrandedAndStoopid posted a suggestion in Creature submission archive
Factual context My submission is the boverisuchus, which is a crocodile that was like 7 feet long or so. They stand out as having modified claws that resemble hooves. these hooves show it ran around on land wand was more of a dinosaur then a croc. capable of galloping around and some scientists believe it could walk on its hind legs. the wiki doesnt say anything about this but if u look almost anywhere else theres talk about debate on whether it was fully bipedal, more of a hadrosaur's bipedal/quadraped nature, or if it was just a quadroped. I first learned about this guy in a Trey the Explainer video on YT, and thats where alot of my knowledge on this guy comes from. search it up if you want, its like a 30 minute video. (for those that have no clue what im talking about: bipedal: walk on 2 limbs, quadroped: walk on 4 limbs). I personally think in the middle is where it should go, ill explain once i get to my actual submission. and one last thing is its believed to be very heavily armored but no osteoderms ( those bony nobs that modern crocs have on their backs). so just soe really think scales and hhide. disclaimer: we have no clue what wildcard are gonna make this thing do, this idea may or may not be what comes to the game. This disclaimer can apply to all submissions, so just because i put it here doesnt mean it only affects boverisuchus, but also everyother submission, just wanna put this out here. My idea: to start off heres my idea, boverisuchus isnt massive but still noticably larger than a kapro (maybe 1.5 - 2x, what ever the diffference is between a kentro and a stego is). boverisuchus is also noticably bulkier, butnot too ft like a trike is where it has significantly less movement speed, remember this thing could gallop. this and its tough hide make it able to tank hits for a while. I dont believe boverisuchus would be able to run around its day to day life as a bipedal beast. It would tip over, imagine walking around hunched over with your arms almost touching the groudn the whole day, not doable. boverisuchus is able to support its elf on its hind legs while running, doing its charge/ naruto run. when it runs into an enemy it can slash at the enemy with its teeth and hooves to tear the skin open and inflict a bleed. I also believe it should have an option to do a pounce once it gets to its enemy, doing a stun and i would like to see soem sort of animation sequence involving kockout animations. where it falls down and gets back up. now for the part wildcard might not keep, we ready? i think it should have a turret saddle. the turret would not be a set turret type. you could fit it with any firearm, or one of the actual turrets. im not gonna go into full technicality because i believe that would make it be even more likely it wont make the cut. but heres the basics: weapon damage is determined my the actual guns damage, doing the same it normally would. turrets damage would be defined by saddles damage multiplier. (a 25% normal saddle u crafted in the smithy or wherever would do 25% of the turrets normal damage, a 100% damage saddle would do normal base turret damage. alright technicality aside, now lets move onto the part i dont think will mkae it. TEK saddle, tek saddle comes auto equipted with a tek cannon, does a little mor edamage output tthan a tek rifle. this saddle cannot have its turret swapped, if u want to swap guns you need the normal saddle. these are like meks, the normal ones can have their mounted weapons interchanged, the mega mek cant. This creature was designed for extinction, and the OSDs but im giving it a shot on abb, maybe it can build up a fan base here like the carch did, well see. excited to see the communities reaction to this. the whole concept was designed for extinction but i think it could fit well with abberation. personally think the massive dung beatles that weve had in all the previous votes fit abb, but no one knows how this is gona turn out. i see this as contending with your rock drake as the creature you rockwell on. while I dont see the turret thing coming to the game, ive made almost all my ideas (not the turret thing) based on factual info on what this thing could probably do. realsiticly this isnt gonna be the 2.2-2.6 meters the wiki says it is. but I really think htis is a unique creature that we should atleast consider. now i need to save all of this and revise it for extinction. TLDR: bipedal boi, bout 1.75x bigger than a kapro, does bipedal naruto run chartge that either stuns enemy or bleeds it, hooves not claws, thick armor and health pool, turret saddle, turret cn be interchanged similar to a meks, can hold guns or actual turrets. tek saddle with a stronger version of the tek rifle. Think htats all lets see if i forgot anything or if someoen suggest somethign- 1 reply

Boverisuchus magnifrons, the Hooved Croc!
Zonaroh posted a suggestion in Creature submission archive
Basic Info - Group; Crocodilian Diet; Carnivore Temperament; Hostile Ridable; Yes Tameable; Yes Design Inspirations Below; Kaprosuchus Allosaurus Carnotaurus Dossier - Wild; Boverisuchus magnifrons was often a creature whispered about at campfires. A crocodile that runs like an Equus, hunts like a Carnotaurus, and roams the plains of the Ark as opposed to the swamps? I didn’t believe it at first until I found a Survivor riding one into town. The beast was much larger than a Kaprosuchus, but not as long or wide as a Sarco. It’s rider took me on a hunt to allow me to study its tactics, seeming to burst from the underbrush and give chase to anything it could catch, leaving huge gaping wounds with its sharp serrated teeth. Its long legs and hoof-like claws allowed it to gallop at top speed across the grasslands, even under the weight of its heavily armored hide. Unlike it’s aquatic cousins, however, it is rather clumsy in the water and is a relatively poor swimmer. Domesticated; Because of Boverisuchus’ tough armor, knocking one out for taming is all but impossible. I was told that the only way to tame this creature was to feed it high-quality meat from hand, without losing it in the process! But for all the difficulty taming a Boverisuchus poses, I’ve seen them galloping across a battlefield, shrugging off arrows and bullets like fleas while tearing through smaller dinosaurs. They only avoided the larger ones, whose bite force could make quick work of their bony back-plates. But after the battle, their handlers gathered them around and picked off the loose plates, and soon thereafter they were replaced with new ones! The discarded plates were used with Chitin to make armor and saddles. Behavior - Boverisuchus stalk the edges of the jungle and forests of the ark, or roaming the plains in search of food. It will attack anything if similar or smaller size, avoiding larger creatures. It is not against hunting Survivors, so be weary if your not riding a large mount. Drops - Raw Meat, Raw Prime Meat, Hide Taming - Boverisuchus cannot be knocked out due to its resistance to ranged weaponry such as rifles and bows. As such, one must attempt a passive-tame using Raw Prime Meat or Raw Mutton. Due to the aggressive nature of the Boverisuchus, this must be done carefully to ensure you survive long enough to complete the taming process. Utility - Boverisuchus is useful for both combat and travel due to its high speed and damage resistance. Abilities; Primary Attack; Bite - A short-range bite attack that inflicts low-mid damage and a temporary bleed effect on the target. Secondary Attack; Charge - A charge ability that causes the Boverisuchus to gallop forward at high speeds with its mouth open. Upon colliding with an enemy, the Boverisuchus will chomp down, inflicting a heavier bleed effect and more damage than a normal bite. C Ability; None Passive; Armored Plating - Due to it’s veritable exoskeleton of Bony Plates, Boverisuchus takes reduced damage (let’s say -25% or -50% damage) from ranged weapons, ranging from Velonasaur spines to bows and arrows to auto-turrets. This effect also reduces damage from Survivors (ranged or melee) and dinosaurs similar to or smaller in size. Larger dinosaurs and explosives are unaffected by the reduction, and the reduction is not applied to the Rider. Roles - Turret Tank. The Boverisuchus would be used to draw Turret fire from larger dinosaurs and fliers, allowing them to get close and destroy them. Bleeder. The Bleed effect granted by Boverisuchus’ Bite attack assists larger tames in taking out tankier targets. Pursuer. Due to its high speed, Boverisuchus can chase down runaway Survivors and Dinosaurs, ensuring there are no survivors. Anti-Personnel Weapon. Thanks again to Boverisuchus’ bony plates, it takes reduced damage from most forms of attack available to Survivors, including smaller tames like Shoulder Pets and ranged weapons like guns. This combined with its speed makes it an ideal choice for taking out enemy Survivors. Travel. Boverisuchus’ speed makes it a great option for traveling from location to location, although it struggles when traversing over water and through heavily forested terrain.
