Bajadasaurus Dossier Species: Bajadasaurus Aquamantisia Temperament:Territorial Wild Bajadasaurus Aquamantisia is notorious for its extreme territorial behavior even to the most peaceful of creatures. Most apparent about the Bajadasaurus is that some have Sails along their neck While some have horns because of the species’ sexual dimorphism. When they're not busy running down another creature, bajadasaurus enjoy being in water spending most of their time there but travel back to the jungle when it starts to get dark out. (extra info,not in dossier) I have heard numerous stories of the infamous Bajadasaurus Aquamantisia suddenly attacking and causing great damage to villages. These creatures truly are the jack in the box! When they're not busy running down another creature, bajadasaurus enjoy being in water spending most of their time there but travel back to the jungle when it starts to get dark out. Bajadasaurus are a perfect example of sexual dimorphism; the females are less aggressive and sport 2 neck sails that they flare to frighten oncoming attackers, while the males have an array of spines on their neck. They also release a pheromone that makes them more aggressive when they inflate their neck sac. While the females of the species rarely attack unless provoked first, the males of the species are the polar opposite and even pick fights with rival males or other creatures that get too close, even herbivores! Taming Because of their less aggressive manner, before attacking female Bajadasaurs will flare their sails but will not proceed to attack if you drop them some fiber, after a while hand-feed the female to gain her trust. Although i have seen a tamed Bajadasaurus male its owner did not want to say how one might time this valuable creature. (extra info,not in dossier) It is fairly common to see two bajadasaurus males fight and while they won't kill each other, they may leave each other incredibly wounded. However, as I have seen firsthand, this is the only way that one can attempt to befriend them because of their awful temperament. During A clash between two males you must help one outbest the other and after the losing male skitters off the winning male will follow you, pondering if it needs to attack. At this time you want to feed it some medical brews to take care of those gnarly injuries. Females are much simpler to tame on the other hand, just drop them some fiber , but don’t get too close or they might become weary and attack. After a while they'll be okay with you hand feeding them. Domesticated Bajadasaurus specializes in gathering fiber and wood; however, they can crush even the hardest of stones. From quick feet to neck maneuverability, bajadasaurus are shockingly mobile for their size and become even more so after they've had a quick dip in some water. While a great mount to keep around , i'll have to continue to test how to mate bajadasaurs in captivity (extra info,not in dossier) An allied bajadasaur are excellent gatherers of fiber and wood, they can even crush the hardest of stones. These creatures are surprisingly mobile for their size and become even more so after they've had a quick dip in some water. During my studies, I've observed that these beasts simply refuse to mate while in captivity…I wonder what's their favored condition for mating. Gameplay -Can fit into the smaller boss arenas when using the toggle neck mode - Excellent swimmer -Saddle Will be placed under the head -Large Oxygen Stat -Larger than Amargasaurus but much smaller than the brontosaurus Spawns -Shallow Sea water -streams/Rivers -Jungles -Always in groups of 3 (2 females and 1 male,or 1 female and 2 males) Taming Female-get close enough to where the female will flare its sails at you then drop it some fiber. At 50% taming you can now hand feed her the fiber and this will give more percentage than just dropping it to her Male-while two males are fighting, help the male injure the other male that you do not want to tame. When it reaches 20% health it will run off. The winning male will then approach you before attacking if you do not have medical brews in your inventory.If you do have medical brews it will then lean its neck down to drink them. Breeding -For some weird reason, tamed bajadasaurudae seem to only want to mate while they're in water. -If a bajadasaurus egg is hatched while in water the baby will be granted a permanent buff called “Water Birth” that works similar to imprinting and can be stacked with it. -However, be careful to not let the baby drown before the egg hatches! Sexual dimorphism -Females lack the neck horns but are adorned with sails that can flare out before they attack or when they feel threatened, when doing this they cause a fear effect by making themselves appear larger. -Males lack the sails but instead have an array of horns protruding from the neck region. They also have a neck sac that can be inflated, causing the release of a pheromone that enrages the dino for a period of time. Passive Abilities -Pressure Dive: The deeper down in the bajadasaur goes the more damage it will do. from 1x at the surface to 1.5x at the lowest point in the ocean -Accelerates slowly while running -Hydration buff when in contact with water (similar to spino, increasing speed and damage) -filled water containers in the inventory activates the hydration buff -rain activates the hydration buff until it stops raining -A toggle neck mode allowing the creature to lower its neck to dodge projectiles or fit into places it previously could not fit into. -immobile turning Resources/Harvesting -Cannot harvest berries/seeds -only eats fiber -Great wood and fiber gatherer -can also gather fiber from trees -Organic polymer can be scraped from skin (similar to leedsichthys) -drops organic polymer when harvested -males can harvest rocks with neck spine sweep -Females can harvest rocks with stomping tantrum Behaviors -runs away from a fight when at low health (similar to spino) -at sunrise groups will leave jungles and go to rivers/lakes/shallow waters. At sunset groups will return back to the jungle -in the wild it will attack anything thats gets too close to it unless it is bigger than the bajadasaur itself or just a very small creature (this includes herbivores) -absolutely hates (tamed) amargasaurus and will always try to kill them -in the wild Females will flare its sails at a creature coming too close, only if it comes even closer then the female will charge and attack the threat -males just attack anything coming too close with no warning (unless bigger than itself or just too small) -males may may get into fighting matches where they clash horns, not killing each other but the one with its health lowered to 20% first will run off -males who just left a fight with each other will become more like the female in terms of aggression (stares down a creature coming too close, only if it comes even closer then the male will charge and attack the threat) Moveset Left click-left/right foot stomp Right click (Female)- Stomping Tantrum: Goes on hind legs then slams down Right click (Male)- Neck Spine Sweep Spacebar-Toggle Neck Mode: lowers neck down to shoulder level C -Tail grab: Can grab small creatures and players (raptor and smaller) Right click (while creature in tail)- Downward tail bash X -(female)- Bellow: sails flare out and causes a fear effect (similar to yuty) on smaller creatures and takes reduced amount of damage when attacked X -(Male)- Bellow: Neck sac becomes inflated and causes a rage effect on the dino giving it boosted speed and damage output Inspiration/idea Links Gender dimorphism based on the differing view of how bajadasaurus actually looked-Bajadasaurus - Wikipedia Aggression-Bull - Wikipedia Territorial factor,Male Sparring-Goat - Wikipedia Female flaring neck sails-Deception in animals - Wikipedia Male inflatable neck sack-Gular skin - Wikipedia

Rodhocetus Kasrani Rodhocetus is a genius off early whales Wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rodhocetus Name: Rodhocetus kasrani Group Mammal Time: Eocene Diet: Piscivore Temperament: Territorial/docile Rodhocteus is a amphibious whale who would be a fearsome foe on both land and sea. I feel ark`s oceans need a new BIG creature but actualy beeing abel to leave the ocean and stil be decent is preferd so I think this could be a fun creature to fit that role. It has alot off health and great damage, it`s quite fast and mobile in water but become more sluggish (while stil decent speed) while on land. Size will be simular to the astrocetus but maby a bit bigger. I feel the ocean in ark need a new BIG creature and I think it would be fun to have something that also can go on land and be decent. Dropp: Hide, meat, blubber (can be turned into oil in or used in cooking or consumed to stay warm/ regain stammina or heal carnivores), smal chance for silika pearls, black pearls and blueprint. Dossier: Rodhocteus is a name that strike fear into the heart of any seafaring surviver. This leviathan is feard and worshiped bye many often tried to catch and tamed buy multiple tribes but few even survive to tell the tail. It is a creature off duality not just because of it`s amphibious nature. I keep hearing tails off this blod thirsty monster that destroyes everything in it`s path, a creature abel to stop a ranging giga, but a few also describe it as a gentel giant who`s main food is simple fish. Even when I myself stod face to face with one it seemed more intrested in basking in the sun nothing like the stories I have heard so many told off it. And while few have succeeded a few have managed to get thees Behemoths on there side. Rodhocteus is a wounderfull sea mount as few creature dare to face it and it`s thick hide seem to protect it from the poision form the cnidaria. It has a remarkable abillity to fillter out the non edible part off it`s pray allowing it to farm large amount of chitin, hide, cementingpaste and silica and black pearls. Wild. Rodhocteus is mostly found in the centers`s oceans but can also be found basking on it`s beaches. It is mostly docile only attacking if provoked but it will turn aggresive against any raft or sea platform. It don`t agro on much else than coelacanth, megladons and leedsichthys and occasionally the nearby crustaceans. Domesticated: For those who can domesticate a rodhocetus these giants becomes wounderfull travel mounts for those who seek to explore the depths off the ocean, while as a mammal they do need oxygen rodhecetus can hold it`s breath for hours and seem to fear non off the other inhabitants off the deep. They can also serve as Cargo haulers even carring larger items and even herds of smaller creatures within it`s mouth. Rodhocetus seem to have adopted to store whater within it`s nasal cavity that it can eject at will. Some uses this ability to irrigate there crops, stop fire, relieve wounds and some just use it to cool down on a warm day. Take this with it`s majestic but intimidating bellow that seem to even intimidate the gigantosaurus rodhocetus can be great for defending and supporting your tribe and your homes. Abillities: 1 Left click Bite: A slow but powerful bite attack. 1.5 Mouth full: Hold down left click to swoop open rodhocetus`s mouth to pick up and store things in it`s mouth. It can pick up small herds off smaler creatures like wolfs. It can also scoop up parts off your base to relocate it, 2-4 foundations depending how much is on the foundations. Pressing left click again alows you to spit out creatures and survivors while holding let place down items and base parts. 2 Right click: leviathan`s Bellow Land: Rodhocetus emit a deep and powerfull bellow that disrupts all passive abillities and effects like: Ally: stops ally creatures from fear, bleeding and debuffs. Enemy: Stops passive boosts like dadedon healing, water buffs and giga and charcar rage. Water: While in water it works like ecolocation and finds wild and enemy creatures, explorer notes and reasurces like oil nodes. 3 Splash/body slam: While close to the water surface press space to luach yourself upp and slam down. this dismount enemy survivors and deals great damage to rafts and seaplatforms. the more momentum you have the greater the power. Passive: Thick blubber: Imune against torpor and cnidaria toxin. Bonus abillity: It stores water that it can blow out thru it`s blowhole to stop fire and give temporary healt regen to ally. While at the water surface blast out water thru it`s blowhole and make a rainbow like the basilosaur. Taming: To tame on for yourself you need to use rafts to wear it down. Rodhocetus will attack the raft (need multiple rafts for higher level, metal is more effective than wooden rafts) it will calm down allowing you to passive feed it. Saddle: I think a platform saddle could work well but I also se it just having a normal saddle. thank you for cheaking out my subbision hope you have a nice day.

Common name: Pelecanus Schreiberi Species name: P. Schreiberi Time: Early Pliocene Diet: Meat Temperament: Docile Wild I’ve never seen a pelican so large, but the Pelecanus Schreiberi was a species that we barely had any information on in my time. Even still like many creatures on the arks, this one seems to be bigger than any normal pelican size. This large bird spends its time flying overhead across the coast and oceans looking for food from high above before diving down at great speeds to snatch up prey from below. Domesticated Though not much of a fighter, other tribes have used the Pelecanus Schreiberi to go on hunting trips being able to bring back an assortment of small prey dead or alive to eat or tame. Some more daring hunters have used this great bird to dive deeper into the ocean in search of bigger and more dangerous things to hunt. A giant pelican, reaching sizes similar to the angentavis. Comes with a variety of potential abilities and features at its disposal. (more photos will be added as get them) Aquatic catcher Using its big bill, it can catch live or dead smaller animals into its mouth to hold onto for players to use for other purposes such as taming shadowmanes. Diver Like real pelicans, it will be able to dive underwater and (with a slow oxygen drain) swim around underwater to scout around and find prey to feast upon. Fish harvester Gains higher amounts of prime fish meat and fish meat from fish and other aquatic creatures. Bane of aquatic life Gains higher attack stats while fighting creatures that live within water. Potential tek saddle Similar to the tek helmet worn by players, the can gain the pelecanus schreiberi gains the ability to permanently breath underwater (at the cost of using element). The Tek suit may come with built in flashlights to help see in dark water. In addition It could also possibly have thrusters attached to the saddle to give the pelican a boost while flying or swimming underwater (while burning element) to cover more ground or escape enemies. Other potential abilities Option A: Spitter With things In its mouth, it can spit them back out and fire them at opponents to deal damage at the long range. It can shoot live creatures and also various materials such as stone, metal, silica pearls and black pearls (deals more damage than the silica pearls) and maybe even loaded cryopods to deploy creatures from afar. Option B: baby carrier Using its beak and bill, it can possibly carry babies from point A to point B safety inside its bill (minus bigger babies like Rexs would it would have to carry on the outside). Option C stun dive When high up in the air you can dive down into the water, dealing stun to anything in the area around it (much like what real pelicans do) Other info Taming method: A standard knockout tame, prefers superior kibble, then prime fish meat. (Only eats fish meat/prime fish meat when tamed) Saddle level 50-65 range Tek saddle unlocked by beating one of the center bosses or reaching a higher level like the 90-100 range? Spawns along the coast and across the oceans, hunts fish in the water peacefully unless attacked first then will either engage its foe or fly away If knocked out over or under water it will float on the surface of the water. Not much is known about this animal irl. We only have incomplete fossils of it that show us this pelican seems to have gone extinct with no future dependents. It was also similar in size to the great white pelican (though obviously for this game we have scaled this creature up to be more useful). Overall I believe this creature would be a fun idea and would provide a new way of assisting in taming of certain creatures and traversing the map in ways not seen often in the game. I’d be happy just seeing this creature make the top tens, thank you for the support! (I’m also open to suggestions and criticism to make the best creatures it can possibly be) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelecanus_schreiberi Thanks wiki for the info on this creature.
