Megalictis : Mutant dire wolverine with a titans temper!
Sovira posted a suggestion in Creature submission archive
I'm Sovira and I'm posting on behalf of Fico who could not make it in time! I did not want to leave him without a chance ❤️ Common Name: Megalictis Species: Megalictis Dirus Time: Miocene Diet: Carnivore Temperament: Aggressive Wild It’s the best there is at what it does and what it does isn’t very nice. If there is one creature that you should not mess with, it is Megalictis ferox. Like their modern relatives the wolverines, these tenacious creatures can come face to face with multiple opponents at once and still come out on top. Fear tactics have no effect on them, and their thick hide shields them from the most brutal of attacks. I’ve rarely seen Megalictis run from a fight, but if they are weakened enough, they tend to discharge a foul-smelling musk that deters enemies while they make their escape. Domesticated Megalictis are quite difficult to tame, as tranquilizers cannot pierce their thick skin and they are impossible to approach. Drugging corpses with Narcotic seems to do the trick with knocking them out, however. The thick fur of Megalictis provides ample insulation to anyone traversing the extreme freezing climates. They are also expert trackers, allowing them to locate their prey after taking a single bite out of them. In battle is where they shine the brightest, as they can latch onto much larger targets with ease, inflicting wounds with their powerful jaws and sharp claws. And they can heal quickly thanks to the exposure to the Element in their environment. Be wary as they take damage, however, as they will go into a berserker rage attacking all enemies in sight with an animalistic fury that rivals even giga’s Abilities •Megalictis's stocky yet fuzzy build allows it to survive in the coldest regions of any map with little difficulty, this includes the murder snow! It's thick skin and dense fur even allow it to shrug off ice-based attacks as well most conventional tranquilizing techniques. •Megalictis can roll in snow and mud to create a ball around itself, which can deal damage to natural and crafted structures and creatures when it’s built up enough and slams into them! •When health is reaching critical levels, it will release a stink bomb that can deter attackers, causing Oxygen loss, torpor, and can blind enemies! •Megalictis are immune to Yutyrannus and Rhyniognatha roars! •Can avoid confrontation from any creatures unless it provokes them! •Can deal damage to Corrupted Creatures. •Can leap moderate distances! (SPACE) •Can break through stone structures with its claw attack! (LMB) •Has a bite attack! (RMB) •Has a special buff called Snowshoe buff where it gains increased movement speed on snowy terrain •Can enter Berserker mode when requirements are met (receiving enough damage and killing enough enemies), which grants increased Melee, Damage resistance and Speed and can negate armor of Survivors and Creatures alike! [Claws will extend and glow with Element when in this state] •Can self-heal with a command, but will use a lot of the creature’s energy and drain Food rapidly! [Body will glow with Element when using this] •Can grapple onto larger creatures with its jaws and inflict damage over time, at the cost of Stamina! Can move around the body depending on the size of the creature! It will also enable it to grapple onto the creatures neck or face with it being able bite and slash at either causing blindness when attacking the face and oxygen damage when attacking the throat Taming •Find a Megalictis. •Kill a creature that’s large in size and add Narcotic to the inventory. •Wait for a Megalictis to approach the carcass and watch from a distance. •Let it feed till the carcass is consumed, it’ll gain torpor depending on how many bites it takes. •Rinse and repeat till it is knocked out. •Feed it’s preferred food, but keep it torpored as it has a high Torpor drain! Ability suggestions and possible abilities •It’s fur can be cut off or harvested from dead megalictis and used to make special fur armor with the same high hypothermic insulation along with being much more durable than the standard fur armor •It’s poop is used to mark it’s territory and scares off other creatures •It’s poop can be put on arrows and launched scaring other creatures •Can track targets through taking a bite out of them!

I HAVE DECIDED TO WITHDRAW DEINOCHEIRUS As you may or may not know, the mod creator Garuga has been working hard on an amazing new Deinocheirus mod for ARK Additions, and it is planned to be ported to ASA and Consol. After careful consideration, I decided it was best to withdraw thus Deinocheirus. However, if you liked the concept, you can support the mod and maybe the creator will implement these ideas if they are popular enough. Also, I would like to remind you that this if someone makes a similar mistake in the future, please let them know politely and respectably. Spreading down-votes and negativity in the comments isn't a very respectable method, so just keep it cool guys. Mistakes are how we humans learn. Unless your Clyde the Chat gpt. 😂 I plan to submit new ideas for Extinction, so stay tuned for that! Good day, survivors! - Greetings, survivors! I have always dreamed of seeing some of my favorite creatures in our favorite game, ARK. So, I designed the Deinocheirus plantapax, a submission I planned for the non-canon maps of ARK. The Deinocheirus is a plant specialist and fighter. While the common Deinocheirus can make use of trees and bushes, the Furious have the damage and power to hit hard and kill enemies. This creature is designed so you make use of the common and Furious’ attributes to accomplish outstanding feats. Thank you for your support and I look forward to seeing you all move around our wonderful map, The Center, on the backs of giant clawed geese. Now we present, the Duck-billed Giant Claw, Deinocheirus… Artwork. Thanks to Interstellarpool176 for the amazing Deinocheirus illustration! Thanks to Rebecca Groom for the Furious Deinocheirus illustration! Common name: DEINOCHEIRUS Species: Deinocheirus plantapax Time: Late Cretaceous Diet: Herbivore Temperament: Temperamental (fury) Wild. Although a peaceful grazer, Deinocheirus would probably be the mightiest theropod on the in the absence of the carcharodontosaurs. Bearing a shaggy coat of feathers, long arms, and a “duck bill”, this ornithomimosaur is also perhaps the oddest-looking dinosaur. While most are peaceful, some Deinocheirus have raging tendencies and aggressively attack other animals almost like they are predators. The diet of this theropod differs slightly from other plat-eaters. They have adapted to feeding on the thick fiber of native plants. Domesticated. There’s little a Deinocheirus enjoys more than a good scratch to rid itself of the biting flies that infest their coats. A tree is the ideal tool for this, and while scratching, Deinocheirus calms enough for survivors to befriend one and even ally with it. Aggressive Deinocheirus do not scratch. Perhaps they are too furious to notice the plague of flies biting them. Or perhaps it’s the insects that make them so furious. In The Wild. Deinocheirus will spawn in around rivers, larger Underworld areas, and the edges of the redwoods, but more rarely in the latter. They will also spawn in the swamp surrounding The Center (the floating island). They spawn solo. They normally are peaceful herbivores, only attacking if provoked (usually by the contemporary Spino). However, Deinocheirus has a 25% chance of spawning Furious. See below for more on Furious Deinocheirus. Spinos, Rexes, and Baryonyx will attack Deinocheirus, and since Deinocheirus spawns in rivers, there is often a Spino nearby. If attacked, Deinocheirus will retaliate with Rex-tier power, usually killing Baryonyx and most Spinos. Furious. Furious Deinocheirus are Deinocheirus that happen to spawn in a furious mood. They will aggro and attack other creatures much like the contemporary Spino. They are still herbivores, however, so they will not harvest corpses they kill. Furious Deinocheirus differ greatly from “normal” variants. They spawn with different stats (more health and damage), but as a consequence lose some of the specialized abilities that its “normal” variant can do. Unless shown otherwise, any features or abilities in this submission apply only to the “normal” Deinocheirus. You can identify a Furious Deinocheirus by its glowing red eyes, or just observe it in the wild to see if it is aggressive. Or simply look at its name (use a spyglass for your safety), which should say “Furious Deinocheirus”. Taming + Food. The taming of Deinocheirus works like a basic passive tame, but with a twist. The Deinocheirus can be fed only while it is scratching against a tree. So, can this be done? Well as they are temperamental, you can approach one normally (just don’t attack them – this is for you survivors who are careless with your fists). If you walk directly up to a wild Deinocheirus (as close as you would to feed a creature, and on foot), they will take interest in you and follow you around like a Diplo or Ichthyosaurus. If one is interested in you, nearby Deinocheirus will not automatically gain interest, unless you walk up to them too. While they have interest in you, you must lead them up to a tree (of any kind) and punch the tree. If you punch a tree while a wild Deinocheirus is following you, the Deinocheirus will move up to the tree and scratch against the tree for around 10 seconds, a process that destroys the tree after finishing. While it is scratching, you can only then feed it by pressing [E] with its taming food in your last hot bar slot. After scratching, it will lose interest in you until hungry again. Once it is hungry, draw its attention again by moving up to it, then repeat the process to continue taming it. If you don’t feed the Deinocheirus while it is scratching, it will still lose interest, but since it would still be hungry, you can immediately draw its attention again and simply lead it to a different tree for feeding. Furious Taming. Furious Deinocheirus require a different method to tame. Because they will become furious at you if you approach them (and probably murder you), they require a conventional knock-out taming method. You can trap them, use darts, whatever. Just knock them unconscious and feed them taming food as normal. Be careful, though… Food. Deinocheirus, including Furious ones, are herbivores and will eat the same food as any other herbivore. However, they can also eat fiber. Fiber consumed by a Deinocheirus gives 10 food to them. When taming a Furious or “normal” Deinocheirus, these are the usable taming foods, most to least effective: · Superior Kibble · Crops · Fiber · Mejoberries · Other berries Stats + Breeding. Potential base stats for Deinocheirus: Health: 980, or 1400 for Furious Stamina: 420 Oxygen: 210 Food: 2890 Weight: 490 Movement Speed: Around the same land speed as a Therizinosaur. In the water, they can move a little faster than a Rex. Torpidity: 1600 Breeding the Furious. You cannot breed two furious Deinocheirus. To get a Furious offspring, you must breed a Furious Deinocheirus with a “normal” one (gender does not matter). If you breed a “normal” and a Furious, the offspring has a 50% chance of being Furious. Because Furious have higher health, a Furious baby will automatically inherit the health stat from its Furious parent. Likewise, if a Furious and a “normal” parents produce a “normal offspring”, the baby will automatically inherit the health stat from its “normal” parent. If you breed two “normal” Deinocheirus, the offspring will inherit random stats as usual. As you will find, the “normal” and Furious are designed to support each other. You need the Furious for heavy hits, and the “normal” to breed and support the Furious in battle. These two moods work together to accomplish great feats. Appearance. The Deinocheirus is a little taller than a Tyrannosaurus. It has a noticeable shaggy coat of primitive feathers, very long arms, and grasping hands with relatively long claws (but not longer claws than Theri). Furious Deinocheirus can be identified by a permanent red glow in their eyes. Egg Color. The eggs of Deinocheirus are dark green with yellow spots. Furious eggs in fact look different, helping survivors to identify the contents ahead of time, they have red instead of yellow spots. Non-fertile eggs just have yellow spots, regardless of the layer. Attacks/Abilities. Primary Attack [left click]: The primary attack of the Deinocheirus is a massive swipe with both arms. This attack harvests wood, thatch, and any special resources from trees efficiently, as well as berries (no fiber) from bushes. Furious gather with less efficiency. The base damage is 58, or 70 for a Furious. Secondary Attack [right click]: [Right click] performs a fine gathering move. This attack doesn’t deal damage and involves the Deinocheirus using beak and claws to gather fine resources. This gathers fiber extremely efficiently from bushes. The Deinocheirus in fact can gather fiber more efficiently than any other dinosaur. Furious can use this attack but gather fiber far less efficiently. Tree Scratch: “Normal” Deinocheirus can press [C] to perform this ability while next to a standard tree. The Deinocheirus will scratch its body against the tree (tree gets destroyed) and activate a buff of pure power. After scratching, this buff activates and stays active for 30 minutes. Each 10 seconds while buff is active, the Deinocheirus automatically consumes 10 fiber (fiber does not give food when burnt up this way) to keep buff active; if it runs of fiber early, the buff ends early. The effects of the buff: · The Deinocheirus itself gains a 20% buff to movement speed and damage resistance. · Other allied creatures within a range also gain effect from this buff, gaining a 16% buff to melee damage and movement speed, and a 20% buff to damage resistance. · Allied Furious Deinocheirus within range gain a 45% buff to melee damage and damage resistance. After the buff ends (after 30 min or runs out of fiber), this ability cannot be used for the next 24 hours (in game). Only tames can use this ability. Tree Grab: Furious Deinocheirus only can press [C] to “harvest” a branch from any tree (only one can be held at a time), destroying the tree. The branch is held in its arms like a Chalicothere’s rock/poop. While a tree is held, you can [left click] to simply harvest the branch (gaining the same resources as you would’ve gotten from the tree). Or you can [right click] to throw the branch, much like a Chalicothere throws a rock. When the branch impacts, its damages and stuns creatures within range of the impact (same impact range as a grenade). Base damage is 75 and targets are also stunned. This works on bosses. The damage of a thrown log increases with melee levels, and it does not do extra damage to structures. If a Deinocheirus grabs a tree, and then the survivor dismounts, the Deinocheirus will continue holding the branch. It will hold it until either a survivor mounts and throws/harvests the branch, or the Deinocheirus aggros onto an enemy. If it does, it will throw the branch at that enemy and then start attacking as normal. Only tames can use this ability. Saddle. The Deinocheirus requires a saddle to ride. Deinocheirus Saddle is an engram unlockable at level 74 and costs 500 Fiber, 280 Hide, and 45 metal ingots. Must be crafted in a Smithy. The Deinocheirus will hopefully serve multiple purposes on The Center. They can enter the largest caves and become very effective, especially the Furious, in reaching their artifacts. If you combine the buff from a common Deinocheirus with the strength of a Furious, you can combat the bosses of this map with great efficiency. Please remember that any submission that makes it to the game is subject to change from Studio Wildcard. Now, I’m sure you all have your own thoughts and ideas on Deinocheirus! Please share below. I would love to hear what the community thinks about this!
