Dossier/Concept Art: (Dossier art coming soon!!) Dossier: Wild: Out of all the ceratopsians I’ve seen on the Arks, none stand out as much as Centrosaurus Laminairae. Not only is this the largest ceratopsian I’ve so far on these Arks rivaling Rexes and Acros in size, but it is one of the deadliest animals I’ve seen across the Arks. I’ve observed these muscular herbivores fight against large predators and come out in triumph with the blood of their opponent on them. I’ve even observed Centrosaurus fight against a Giganotosaurus trying to attack it and . Yet they seem to be peaceful unless provoked, grazing within the herds of other ceratopsians that they dwarf in size. Domestication: While I have never tamed Centrosaurus Laminairae myself, I’ve heard from many of the tribes that it is a simple yet painful process. Whereby you injure the creature until it is enraged with anger. Then sacrificing your strongest and most mighty creatures to it. But once tamed, Centrosaurus is a war and battle mount useable for any tribe. Its deadly nasal horn can pierce the strongest of hides of beasts. Many tribes have Centrosaurus in herds of ceratopsians or even herbivores as it seems to pump their morale and encourage them to fight fiercely and fearlessly. Making them good for arena battles or war defense and offense. Some more wealthy and plentiful tribes have even made specialized armors and bladed horn pieces for their Centrosaurus to defend against deadlier foes and deal with more powerful attacks on saddle armors. Still, Centrosaurus Laminairae is something any warring or advancing tribe would not want to miss out on having in their armies. Basics on saddle, encounters and uses: Has a regular saddle (early 60s to unlock and craftable in smithy) an armored saddle with 2x defense and 2x bleed increase with its bladed horns (crafted at mid 70s for leveling in fabricator,) samurai style armor. This is a legitimate battle ceratopsian and the largest of the three in Ark rivaling the sizes of the Rex and Acro. This can fight bosses and go inside the arenas and even the Overseer cave and arena. Centrosaurus is strictly herbivorous. But when it’s in bloodlust though it would be like a carnivore, having an aggro range and attacking anything in that range. When encountering this beast, be sure to either be riding a herbivore or a ceratopsian to blend in. This ceratopsian will most likely be in herds of smaller ceratopsians, acting as a guardian for the smaller cousins of this gigantic beast. If you aggravate one of its cousins. This beast will aggravate onto you like it was one of them. Running is suggested if you do aggravate it. While this animal is mainly a PvP’s best friend. This herbivore also can be used for a harvester of berries, thatch, and stone. While it also collects wood and flint, it is not the greatest at collecting them. But able to collect heaps of berries, thatch and stone. Being one of the best for these in utility. Abilities: A basic attack: does medium damage (can be used with the regular and Samurai saddles), An Impale attack: causing heavy bleed damage with a ten second cooldown, It’s bloodlust call: A call that gains 100% damage increase to enemy creatures and players (not structures) and a 30% damage reduction for 2 minutes with a 5 minute cooldown to the call. A Buck Kick or directional Stomp: a powerful kick or Stomp that does devastating damage with a longer than average cooldown. Cannot be affected by the Bloodlust effect. Passive Abilities: The rival ability (same as Triceratops but it only works for Gigas and Carchas), It’s herbivore strengthen buff: where they get 30% damage reduction and 10% damage increase. (does not work on other Centrosaurus, does not stack with Courage Roars), It’s ceratopsian buff: Where other species of ceratopsians gains 15% damage increase and 35% damage reduction near it. (doesn’t work on other Centrosaurus, does not stack with Courage Roars) Appearance: Centrosaurus would be indeed the largest Ceratopsian in Ark, being one of largest non sauropod herbivores on this Ark. With a long, deadly horn on the snout, it can impale the thickest of hides or armors. Females have a more delicate and dull appearance, camouflaging into the forests of Valguero, where they raise their young. Taming Method: Get it into bloodlust while it’s wild and have it kill your adult tames, the higher quality the tame and level(Apexes, Gigas and Carchas, even Brontos. Carnivores will give a better taming effectiveness.), the larger the carnivore with bigger hp pools, better the taming progress is and the better the taming effectiveness is. You’d have to damage it to 10% HP to start the process. Be sure to kill off all ceratopsians near it as they will aggro onto you.
