First of all, I would like to clarify that the reason why we chose a big cat is because we see that Ark only exists today, the saber-toothed cat, the Shadowmane is a fictional animal, and the Thylacoleo is a marsupial, so we treat to obtain the best attributes of the Panthera Spelaea to have a strong suggestion and a chance to expand the niche it would work in. Being more a type of predator that can attack its prey in a fast and forceful way, rather than opting for a long and repetitive fight in the aspect that it is not a battle for "mashing the buttons" 👾First mammal with Tek Mount👾 🤖Considering that this big cat is a killing machine, we assume that after the ascension you will be able to equip it with a tek mount. This mount is capable of deploying small drones that will project a holographic shield that will protect you from the front. It has a series of propellers that will help you make longer jumps and be able to run through the water, even for short distances, they will be enough to reach a destination point.🤖 👀Size👀 Respecting the large size it had in ancient times, we take into account that Panthera Spelaea is larger than a thylacoleo but smaller than a shadowmane, being a midpoint 💥Wild💥 Panthera Spelaea is a ferocious animal found in the northern part of the icy mountains, being more specific in the rocky areas where their dens are located where they rest. For the most part, being in herds made up of females and males, due to their thick fur, they are able to withstand the low temperatures that few are willing to endure. It is possible to see that the temperament of the Panthera Spelaea changes depending on the gender it has, with the females being the most aggressive, hunting small creatures in groups and the males having a temperamental attitude, being close to their den tending the young of the herd. During the night is when the Panthera Spelaea becomes more dangerous since in this case the whole herd together with the alpha male hunting large prey due to the leadership of the Alpha which seems to make the females more lethal than during the day. 💥Domesticated💥 The survivors of the ark have realized that it is impossible to subdue an adult Panthera Spelaea and teach it commands, it simply ignores anyone other than its alpha male and when the alpha is captured they go into a state of crisis and disperse. separating the herd and killing their young by starvation. Seeing that the only viable way to try to have this mount is to wait until nightfall so that the herd leaves its lair and thus can take its young. Panthera Spelaea young, due to their young age, it is easier to teach them correct training until they reach adulthood, resulting in a powerful, strong, agile and fast hunting animal that by itself shines a lot but when in a pack it becomes becomes one of the deadliest animals in these lands. 💪SKILLS💪 1. Mighty Roar: 🙀it is a powerful roar that allows him to remove the states in which he can be found by his enemies (poison, bleed, stun, etc). This ability must be used carefully as it takes a long time to activate again.🙀 2. POWERFUL CLAWS: ☠️His claws, even if you don't do much damage, can make several fast attacks, working as his most used and versatile attack.☠️ 3. Cave Predator: ⛰️The Panthera spelaca has developed exceptional agility and strength in confined spaces, such as the caves on the map. She can move easily and quickly in tight terrain, making her a formidable threat in those environments.⛰️ ⛰️In addition, his visual acuity allows him to track prey and enemies in environments underground, following clues and tracks to locate their prey with ease.⛰️ 4. Lethal Dart: 💥The Panthera spelaea attacks with a quick and precise movement, dealing lethal damage. Activate tactical retreat to escape before enemies can counterattack, leaving only a fleeting flash💥 5. Nocturnal Guardian Fur: 🥶 Its fur is thick and with color variations. Making it harder to spot at night, while providing warmth for your rider and nearby companions..🥶 6. A good companion: 🦴 Keep your Panthera happy with food and petting, and it will purr, giving you and nearby animals a small experience buff.🦴 🦴It would work almost the same as that of the lystrosaurus🦴. 7. Improved vision: 👀Its excellent vision allows it to easily identify other predators compared to the human eye, during the day being able to detect carnivorous animals and improving its vision considerably during the night detecting both carnivores and herbivores, having a very broad perception of the animals around it.👀 Taming 🐈‍⬛To have a Panthera at your disposal without being attacked you have to look for a herd made up of males and females: the male specimens will be closer to the cubs taking care of them and having a temperamental attitude while the females will be around them being aggressive. You must be skillful enough to capture one of the cubs from the pack in your arms and escape from the parents as quickly as possible before they realize your presence, if they do so the cub may get scared and lose taming efficiency once in your hands raise it and bond by teaching it to hunt, keeping it clean, healthy and well fed, keep a close eye on them, they are known for short attention spans and arrogance..🐈‍⬛ 👉Basic statistics👈 Health: 850 Stamina: 450 Oxygen: 250 Food: 1750 Weight: 500 Melee damage: 100% Movement speed: 100% Torpor: 850 🦁Sexual dimorphism🦁 Pantheras spelaea can be identified between males and females since the males are equipped with a small melanna that surrounds their necks while the females lack it, this causes the machops specimens to have a bonus of 5% of resistance while females have 5% more melee damage 🟣Variants by zones🟣 Specifically in the underground areas, the snow and the area affected by the corruption we can find these three variants of colors and patterns Specifically in the underground areas, the snow and the area affected by the corruption we can find these three variants of colors and patterns. 1.Snow area: they are characterized by having smooth hair without any type of spots and with very pronounced eye marks that help them see through the snow 2.

Nimravides it's a genus of macairodontidae family, small saber teeths but this bigcat had the size of an actual bengal tigre, this creature it's adapted to rocky biomes and mountain ones, this strong cats are smaller than Smilodon brutalis but they are so much stronger, because of the adaptations that this creature have, they can be found in the mountains or the volcano biome, being a mysterious creature. Taming This creature can be tamed in a weird way, you must steal the cubs of a solitary mother in the mountains or volcano (this Is not going to be easy as it sounds) Habilties Once this creature is tamed it can be ridden even without a saddle, not exactly faster than other saddles but with an extraordinary surprise... This bigcat has the same hability of the actual snowleopard it can jump like a ninja or a parkour expert, a circles will apear in your screen in rocks and walls, you will can jump to them but not only one jump, for example in a cave will jump to the wall to the top, to the other wall and all of this without touching the floor, that circle can appear on creatures too, if you jump to it, the creature will deal damage and bounce doing a backflip returning to the original position, but if there Is more than one creature, it can even bounce and jump between them dealing damage to every creature it jumped on, at the same time this jumping hability it's useful yo avoid attacks from bosses and attacking them at the same time. The adaptations of Nimravides also are useful to climb rocky places.

🦁king of the caves (Panthera Spelaea)🦁 ⛰️The Panthera Spelaea is an extinct species of carnivorous mammal belonging to the family Felidae, which lived in what is now Spain and the British Isles in the west up to Alaska⛰️ 🙀.Being a specimen with relatives such as the Panthera Atrox or Panthera Fossilis, it does not mean that it is less dangerous since its gifts allowed it to be the best predator in its area for several years, having a very distinctive spotted coat for living in cold areas and standing out from the others.🙀 💪SKILLS💪 1. Mighty Roar is an ability that allows him to reduce the statuses inflicted by his enemies (poisoning, bleeding, stun, etc), as well as stun his prey by reducing the effects they can inflict on him for a few seconds. This ability recharges every 30 seconds. 2. 🏃‍♂️Bite with slowing effect: Every time the Panthera Spelaea charges up its bite and bites an animal or a person, the victim will slow down its movement speed (up to 30%). The duration of the slowing effect will last about 3 seconds per bite and could gradually increase the more the Panthera Spelaea bites its enemies. The bites will use about 10 resistances.🏃‍♂️ 3. ⛔It has powerful claws capable of causing fast damage, but not very efficient.⛔ 4. 🧑‍🤝‍🧑Damage Buff (Panthera Spelaea Herd): If there are three Panthera Spelaea allies or more (it is necessary to have at least one male and two sisters), the strongest one will take the role of leader of the herd making him stronger.🧑‍🤝‍🧑 5.🥶 Panthera Spelaea gives thermal insulation to the user who rides it thanks to its thick fur.🥶 6.🦴 Keep your Panthera happy with food and petting and it will purr giving you and nearby animals a small buff of experience🦴.

MACHAIRODUS Species: Machairodus Time: Late Miocene Diet: Carnivore Temperament: Aggressive Wild: Similar to the Ark’s Smilodon brutalis, the Machairodus is a large species of saber-toothed cat that dwells in the mountainous biomes of Ragnarok. They are much larger in size, however, amounting closer to the mass of a Shadowmane instead. Machairodus also tend to hunt in packs of up to five. This powerful big cat possesses a pounce-and-tackle ability much like the Thylacoleo to survivors and even other small dinosaurs. It is pointless to attempt to overpower a pack with a larger, stronger dinosaur, however, as the larger a predator is, the more the Machairodus' primal spirit boosts their attack damage. Pack Alphas drop their teeth, a special ingredient used in their taming process. Tamed: In similar behavior to their wild counterparts, Machairodus are able to pounce onto unsuspecting survivors and small-medium dinosaurs. However, once tamed, the Alpha of the pack gains the ability to pounce onto larger dinosaurs and attach to them for as long as their stamina allows. During this time, the Alpha is able to inflict heavy bleed damage with a special "shredding attack" that deals immense amounts of damage. Additionally, as long as the Alpha is grappled, its packmates deal increased damage with a stacking bleed effect if being ridden. It's "primal spirit" feature is included in its tamed variant, making it a swell counter to the Ark's largest carnivores… especially the infamous giganotosaurus; arch enemy of this vicious, apex pack feline. The feature increases the amount of damage dealt to larger creatures and also offers a climbing damage reduction the higher the damage dealt to the machai is. It is heavily reliant on pack bonus, however. Taming: To tame these beasts of a feline, survivors must first gather Machairodus teeth from killing prides of them, only the Alpha of which drops its teeth. It is important to kill the whole pride, however, as remaining Machais will linger by their Alpha's body, making it difficult to dismount and retrieve the teeth from its inventory. Once a survivor has gathered enough teeth (provided they are high enough of a level), they will be able to craft a special weapon that is required for taming the large feline. A survivor must approach the pack on foot and allow themselves to get pounced by the pack's Alpha. They must have their crafted weapon equipped to their last slot for the tame to initiate, however. Once pounced, and provided the weapon is properly equipped, survivors will need to succeed through a series of dodges and counter attacks until the Alpha retreats into a state of "temporary respect." During this stage, the survivor must capture the Machairodus they wish to tame using a net projectile. After it is trapped, the rest of the pack will begin attacking and must all be killed. Only then will the trapped Machairodus fully gain the survivor's trust, though it will not yet be fully tamed. To build its taming effectiveness, survivors must offer a tamed sacrifice to be devoured by the Machairodus. The larger the creature and the higher its level will determine how high its effectiveness will turn out. Appearance: This tank of a cat boasts robust shoulders rippling with sheer muscle. Towards the rear they lean out, giving them less weight to support when latching onto larger creatures. Two scarily long canine fangs curve elegantly from their mouths, perfect for dealing damage and key to survivors for defending against them long enough to tame one. A short, spiky mane lines their back, ending at a short nub of a tail. Their rosetted pelts assist in blending in with their surroundings. Extra: I've created this concept primarily as a hardened giga counter. It's a much needed addition in my opinion, as even with the arrival of the carcha the giga has no true rival. Nothing matches its raw damage, and in typical PvP bases it's the most used dino for sheer power. In most battles between dinos it's just a matter of who's giga rages first or gets the most bites in. I think that the addition of the Machairodus would provide an even challenger for the giga, even if only in packs. In stereotype, the giganotosaurus is supposed to be the biggest and the baddest. So, a creature that only amounts to its power (but definitely amounts to it nonetheless) in packs, and with effects like an insane pack bonus and stacking bleed, seems like a reasonable counter to me. They would need a tanky amount of health to survive a giga long enough to kill it; something a lot of creatures lack. It would either not have a saddle period with such high health, or have an optional saddle for pure armor value to survive its rival's brute strength. It would be a late-game tame with a level limit on the weapon needed for its taming mechanic, meaning there would be limited speed-running to tame it. It's different and difficult method of taming altogether evens out for how strong of a creature it would be in general. The fact that it might not have a saddle or have an optional saddle unlocked at a later level would somewhat balance the amount of damage large packs would deal. I just really want to see people use something else for raw power in the game besides gigas, or to have something actually capable of killing them. Please consider the Machairodus, or offer ideas that you think might refine it!

Panthera tigris trinilensis, known as the Trinil tiger, is an extinct tiger subspecies dating from about 1.2 million years ago that was found at the locality of Trinil, Java, Indonesia. The fossil remains are now stored in the Dubois Collection of the National Museum of Natural History in Leiden, the Netherlands. Although these fossils have been found on Java, the Trinil tiger is probably not a direct ancestor of the Javan tiger. The Trinil tiger probably became extinct 50,000 years ago. The Bali tiger was also not closely related to the Trinil because of their time differences.Panthera-tigris-trinilensis1-738x591.jpg.b43a0292a95ff0789d6af4d2f0ccbaf9.jpg Saddle You will have to lay down on the saddle holding handles at the shoulder, with your feet in stirrups at the back. Gathers 1. Raw Meat 2. Raw prime meat 3. Mutton 4. Keratin 5. Chitin 6. Silica pearls Drops 1. Raw Meat 2. Tiger claws 3. Hide 4. Pelt Abilities 1. Bleed effect, a slash with it's claws that will cause a bleed effect ,on smaller creatures it will give an infection instead 2. Pounce, a stealth pounce where the tiger can sneak up on creatures and pounce on them dealing 2x damage. 3. Bite, just a standard bite. 4. Leap, very long leap to cover very long distances and hights to crops canyon's. 5. Roar , fear roars medium sized creatures, but will cause nearby small creatures like dodos and lystrosaurs and Mosschops to attack its Target 6. Fur slows descent to glide and decrease fall damage. Taming You must find the tiger while it's sleeping, and feed it while it's sleeping, wear ghillie while doing this. This is not a knockout tame!

Ancestor of the modern sand cat and black-footed cat, felis lunensis is a small desert feline that lived around 2.5 million years ago in the Pliocene. Felix lunensis are crepuscular, being most active at dawn and dusk, and are very elusive and wary creatures. Adults are not tameable; babies must be socialized in order to be tamed (bribed with food and pets while being spicy balls of fluff) and are master escape artists, so be careful what kind of pen you try to place them in. Once tamed, felix lunensis will occasionally provide (by petting, feeding, playing but only when it feels like it as cats are fickle) an "Inspurration" buff which increases the minimum crafting skill bonus, e.g. if you have the buff, max crafting skill, and craft something, the lowest possible bonus you could get would be say 30%. The buff percentage could depend on a stat that you could work to increase or just be random, since cats do what they want. Felix lunensis is not rideable, as it is house cat or smaller sized.

The Sand Cat While inherently extremely cute, the Sand Cat is the most ferocious and fearless cat in the genus. They are nocturnal hunters with the ability to take down creatures with ease as they have razor sharp claws and sharp teeth. They are located in the deserts of Africa, Niger, Chad, and other sandy places. They have huge ears to help them hear and locate their prey in the dark nights aiding them to make their kills. I personally believe that this would be a fantastic addition to the game as we don't have many cat species. Hopefully they don't make it huge since it's supposed to be a small creature.
