This creature is medium sized with rough skin and 1-2 horns on its nose. Paleontologist believe it had brows above the eyes similar to the Allosaurus. The creature is a well known theropod and has been a favorite of mine for a while now. This creature generally could run 20-30 mph. The creature is commonly 1,200 pounds or 0.6 tons. It has 4 fingers and is roughly 15-19 feet tall or 4.9-6 meters. The Ceratosaurus is a carnivorous creature that mainly hunts small herbivores but would also attack larger ones such as the Triceratops. The Ceratosaurus tended to live in forests and planted areas during the late Jurassic. This would be a fun creature to be added to the Ark and could be another smaller source of keratin.

Carcharodontosaurus Ignitus This thing has a weakspot: the neck pouch. Spits oil at enemies and then makes sparks with teeth to set em ablaze entire parts of the map are covered in oil from these bois yes very dangerous

Here’s my submission: Aerosteon is a large, yet slender, theropod with unique traits. It has, most notably, huge hooked claws on the first two digits of each hand that boast a wicked sharpness, as well as air sac filled bones that make it both much lighter than others it’s size and more temperature resilient than other dinosaurs. The specific species found on the Ark, Aerosteon multigladius, has taken its resilience to the extreme. Given the amount of dangerous creatures roaming the Arks, especially in a place such a Fjordur, Aerosteon’s unique air sac filled bones give it the edge. It can hyper-regulate its temperature in either direction to heavily resist any directed attacks composed of ice or fire, nearly completely neutralizing any assault of that nature. Since the animal also breathes through the air sacs in its bones, it has enhanced respiration and is immune to narcotic gases and poisons. Its other characteristic trait, the claws, deal the majority of its damage since it has a naturally weak bite. As a wild dinosaur, it takes a lot of pride in its extremely sharp claws. So much so that it will only hunt unarmored creatures as to not risk dulling them. That means if you are wearing Chitin, Flak, Riot, or Tek, Aerosteon will not consider you prey and will leave you be unless provoked. However, if you seek to tame one, that will require stripping down to your rags and putting yourself in the crosshairs. Once an unarmored individual is its sights, you must skillfully block it’s devastating claw swipes with a shield to dull its claws (metal shields providing the most dulling points). When it stops it’s assault to resharpen its claws, that’s the time to step in and offer food for passive feeding until tamed. When tamed, the claws provide two separate utilities: sharpened, and dulled. Claws retaining sharpness can be used to weaken enemy or wild creatures and players. Each slash wounds for a stacking vulnerability debuff, allowing yourself, your tribemates, and your other tames to do increasingly high amounts of damage to the target. 5 armor weakening vulnerability stacks could be the max, at which point your allies and mount would be doing critical damage negating most saddles and natural armor, though these will need to be continually applied to keep the damage boost at its peak. This is also something that could prove useful to boss fights, as another creature to help in those fretful moments. When dulled (by not sharpening through the behavior menu on the creature), the claws become blunt force weapons. In this state they provide their own stacking effect with each hit in lowering the movement speed of anything they hit, along with rapidly breaking enemy armor. It also gains a much higher knockback in this state. Overall I think this could be a fun Dino and a unique enough theropod for submission! Here’s some supplementary info on the real animal: http://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/species/a/aerosteon.html https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/a-light-quick-killing-machine-32217325/

Time: Late Cretaceous Diet: Carnivorous Temperment: Aggressive Location: 40-50 Latitude, 10-20 Longitude I would really like majungasaurus in Ark as I have thought of a pretty cool features for it. Firstly, the reason I chose an island is because I wanted it to stay true to it's original location (Madagascar) Secondly, if it is possible or not too OP, could it have a Tek saddle which would give it a laser horn (I always thought it looked like a unicorn) The saddle would be similar to a carnotaurus saddle but would wrap itself around the horn and tuck itself under it's smol arms In terms of attacks, it's primary attack would be a generic bite while it's secondary would headbutt similar to the pachy's but with only a step forward (somewhat induces torpor). It's tertiary attack would be a headbutt and bite but it uses up more stamina than the other two attacks. See below: (Sorry I only have paint and aren't a good computer artist please understand) It will have decent stamina, very good attack but mediocre health They would travel in pairs or trios but will occasionally attacks each-other due to their cannibalistic nature. BE WARNED: If these are added they will attack other tamed majungasaurus regardless if they are owned by your tribe or not. Here is all I have for my essay, I really hope it gets added as it is one of my favourite creatures (dino-wise) Thank you for reading! Sincerely, TheCarnoGamer (I felt I needed to add this )

Since we already have Spinosaurus and Baryonyx in the game, I did not see why we couldn't have the other well known member of the Spinosauridae family. Hopefully people will agree on my ideas that would make the Suchomimus unique compared to the many creatures that already exist in ARK. If you have any form criticism then don't be afraid to put it in the comments as long as they're not blatant hate or super aggressive. Real Life: Suchomimus tenerensis was a large theropod dinosaur closely related to the bigger Spinosaurus while living in the same time and place of Early Cretaceous Africa and even had a more Crocodilian-like snout compared to others of the Spinosauridae family. With the nostrils being somewhat close to the eyes as well as the mouth containing around 122 conical teeth it is safe to determine that Suchomimus was primarily a piscivore like its closest relatives. Wild: While not as agile as the Baryonyx nor as strong as the Spinosaurus, the Suchomimus is a true terror to the fish and other amphibious creatures that dwell in the rivers and oceans and are known to be extremely territorial to other terrestrial carnivores and won’t hesitate to even fight those that are larger than itself such as the Rex or Spino, and of course won’t think twice to kill a human. While humans are able to outrun a Suchomimus, it is never a good idea to go into a body of water, if it’s deep enough for the Suchomimus to swim in, you’re in trouble as it is extremely flexible in the water, able to quickly turn around in order to fight whatever was trying to hit it from its behind. Suchomimus is somewhat of a rare creature, only been seen living in the swamps, rivers, or even more rarely near the ocean. How to Tame: KO strategy, can only be tamed by using prime fish meat or Superior Kibble, but can eat other forms of meat after taming. Domesticated: While a domesticated Suchomimus is a very rare sight, those who managed to tame one use the creature as a small mobile fishing boat, while it’s not big enough to put a proper platform saddle on it, some survivors have made smaller, ‘micro’ platform saddles primarily used for carry fishing equipment, as well as having mounted fishing rods attached to the sides of the saddle, and with the enhanced abilities while swimming in the water, the Suchomimus can be used to travel into the open ocean or some large body of water as a living fishing boat as mentioned before. Primary Attacks: Can bite with its mouth and can use its claws to swipe at players or other dinosaurs, the bite does less damage than the compared to the claws but cost less stamina. Ability One: While not having a tail stun or infinite oxygen like the Baryonyx, the Suchomimus is able to perform as a radar of some sorts in the water, similar to the Parasaur, but instead of detecting hostile dinosaurs, it is used to detect any form of fish in a certain radius, while giving detail on their size and how much fish meat they’ll contain if killed, this can be used if the Suchomimus swimming in the water or simply just standing in the shallow end of a river or lake. (Would perform an animation where its mouth would open in the water if it was in shallow water.) This ability would cost a very small amount of stamina, however. Ability Two: Despite not being a more complicated ability like some other creatures, the Suchomimus will collect both more fish meat and prime fish meat compared to other tamed creatures as long as it’s from a fish, including Megalodon and Leedsichthys and will also perform bleed damage to the mentioned fish creatures, making it well suited on taking on swarms of Mantas or Sharks, but will cost a lot of stamina in the process. (Only the bit attack can perform bleed damage.) Weaknesses: On land the Suchomimus is somewhat sluggish, not as much as a Megalosaurus but definitely noticeable to the point that most would be able to easily run away from the creature such as Humans or even Parasaurs, not to mention that in the wild Suchomimus have poor stamina and somewhat mediocre stamina regeneration, making the dinosaur somewhat only useful in the water (stamina depletion is decreased if it is swimming in the said water.) Though thanks to its large health pool and decent damage, it is still able to handle itself against most carnivores such as Carnotaurus and even a pack of Allosaurus if the mentioned Suchomimus is a high enough level.

Look, I know we all kinda hate insects, but think about just how cool and different this would be. I know I'm late and I really don't have a lot to go off of, but this thing would be like a mantis and a Rex in one. Not so good at harvesting, but great at pvp and boss fights. Let the imagination run wild with this one, and thank you to Ryaquaza1 for the concept art off of google. Thought it looked pretty awesome. Idk I just think something drastically different is ok every once in a blue moon.

Forward Have you ever heard of the Yamatosaurus Izanagii? Origin of the name The "Yamato" in the genus name Yamatosaurus is the Japanese proper noun "Yamato" (倭, Yamato, etc.), which was one of the representative names for the country of Japan during the Yamato period." The "saurus" is a taxonomic Latin noun suffix "-saurus" derived from the ancient Greek common noun "σαῦρος (sauros)" meaning "lizard", which means "reptile", but since it is often used for dinosaurs, it can be interpreted as "dinosaur". Izanagii In Japanese mythology, Izanagi and Izanami, who became husband and wife, jointly created the "Ohayashimas" or the islands of Japan. In other words, it was Awaji Island. Based on this "story of the opening of the earthly world," Awaji Island can be regarded as the "origin" of the Japanese islands, and the dinosaurs related to the "origin" of the Hadrosauridae were produced from Awaji Island. Yositugu Kobayashi and his colleagues paid attention to this fact, associated this species with Izanagi, and adopted the god's name as the species name. Why did I recommend this species? As a Japanese, I have no reason not to let the world know about a dinosaur with which such a remote place has such a connection! I want this dinosaur to be recognized by dinosaur fans in Japan and even the world. Research report on the Yamatosaurus Name:Yamatosaurus Species:Yamatosaurus izanagii Habitat:Late Mesozoic Cretaceous (Late Cretaceous) Feeding habits:Plant-eating Temperament:neutral (Fugitive under certain conditions) Wild Yamatosaurus lives in herds of about four in relatively sunny grasslands and sand dunes with other herbivores. Sometimes, however, they also stray from the herd. These strays are so timid that even the dodo will startle them and they will run away. It is common to see them lying down after a few hours, exhausted. At this time,the survivor can tame them by feeding them a small amount of stones that serve as stomach stones and a large amount of potatoes, their favorite food. In captivity The Yamatosaurus is very healthy and will be a most excellent companion for us survivors. They are also very strong, and will not be intimidated by metal construction materials. This makes them perfect for expeditions and moving bases. They also have a large flag on the left side of their saddle to show that they belong to the tribe, and you can use the flag as a blanket to snuggle up to the Yamatosaurus in cold weather. P.S.: Studies have shown that the snoring of the Yamatosaurus has a special structure that allows it to cancel out the roars of Parasaurolophus and Eutyrannus. This would allow them to sleep in peace without being detected by hostile tribes. wiki link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yamatosaurus 原文 序文 みなさんは、ヤマトサウルス・イザナギイを知っていますか？ 名前の由来 属名 Yamatosaurus の "Yamato" は、大和時代における日本の国名の代表的な一つであった日本語固有名詞「ヤマト（倭、大和、ほか）」である。"saurus" のほうは、「トカゲ」を意味する古代ギリシア語普通名詞 "σαῦρος（サウロス）" に由来する分類学用ラテン語名詞接尾辞 "-saurus（サウルス）"であり、「爬虫類」を意味するが、恐竜に用いられることが多いため、「恐竜」と意訳して差し支えない。 イザナギイ イザナギイは、日本神話において、イザナギは、夫婦となったイザナミとの共同作業で「大八島/大八州（オホヤシマ）」すなわち日本の島々を創り出すのであるが、この国生み神話における「島生み」で、いの一番に生み出した島が「淡道之穂之狭別島（アハヂノホノサワケシマ）」すなわち淡路島であった。このような「地上世界の開闢譚」から淡路島を日本の島々の"原初"と見做すことができ、ハドロサウルス科の"原初"に関わる恐竜がその淡路島から産出したわけで、小林快次らはそこに着目してイザナギと本種を関連付け、神の名を種小名に採用した。 この生物を推した理由 私は、一日本人として、世界にこのような辺境がこのようなご縁のある恐竜を知らしめない理由なんてないじゃないですか！？ 日本の、いや世界の恐竜ファンにこの恐竜を認知されてほしいです。 ヤマトサウルスの調査書 名称:ヤマトサウルス 種:Yamatosaurus izanagii 生息時代:中生代白亜紀後期（後期白亜紀）末期 食性:植物食 気性:中立(特定の条件下で逃走) 野生 ヤマトサウルスは比較的に日当たりの良い草原や砂丘で4頭ほどで構成される群れを作り、他の草食動物と共に暮らしています。しかし、時にまた群れから逸れた個体も存在します。逸れた個体は、とても臆病でドードーにすら驚いて逃げていきます。 逸れた個体は数時間後、疲れてしまい横になる光景がよく見られます。この時にサバイバーは胃石となる石を少量と彼らの大好物のジャガイモを大量に食べさせることで、飼い慣らすことができます。 飼育下において ヤマトサウルスはとても健気で私達サバイバーにとって最も優れた相棒となるでしょう。そして、彼らはとても力持ちであるため、金属の建材などを持たせてもびくともしません。これにより、遠征や拠点を引っ越しするのには最適です。 そして、サドルは二人乗りであり、左側に大きな旗を下げていて、トライブに所属していることを示したり、その旗を毛布代わりにして寒い地域でもゆったりとヤマトサウルスに添い寝されましょう。 追伸:ヤマトサウルスのいびきはパラサウロロフスやユウティラヌスの咆哮を打ち消すことでのできる特殊な構造を持っていることが、研究で判明しました。これによって敵性トライブに見つかることなく、安心して寝ることができるでしょう。 wikiのリンク https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/ヤマトサウルス

WILD: Orkoraptor cryofjurdensis is a terrifying and horroryfic predator, a new species of the genus Orkoraptor, this terrifying dinosaur is one of the creepiest creatures on the ark. Orkoraptors have a massive distribution in Fjordur, but this distribution is limited to dark places in all biomes, specimens of this genus seek all dark places in their territory, this specific behavior is due to their ability to camouflage themselves as a xenomorphic creatures. in all the great shadows and darkness to take his victim by surprise. They attack their prey with all their arsenal, the claws of this creature are possibly the largest claws of all the theropods in the arks in proportion to their body, these claws can catch small creatures and do great bloody damage to their rivals and victims larger, also the feathers of this dinosaur have a poisonous liquid, this poison is probably the best defense against the great tribes in the ark, this substance reacts in an anti-flammable liquid so flames and tek weapons are useless against this animal However, this adaptation makes the orkoraptor vulnerable to simple firearms such as shotguns and rudimentary equipment. I must talk again about camouflage, it is almost invisible when darkness comes, this is probably an adaptation of its nocturnal behavior, when this camouflage is most effective, fortunately members of this species prefer solitary territories, so not all places in the ark are extremely dangerous. However, this predator can go anywhere outside its territory when one of them needs food actually is necesary talk about it social behavior, this is quite unique, like a band of crows, orkoraptors can hunt in packs, but opportunistically, when night comes, and if a sauropod or large creature walks around it position , orkoraptor takes the opportunity to do a bloody hunt with all the members of their species to kill animals bigger than them, this does not mean that they cannot hunt in packs also when the prey is smaller than them, but this situation is quite rare. .. depending on where the prey is. Although the Orkoraptor has a great distribution around the ark, these creatures prefer cold and humid places, that is because mammals are their favorite prey, so if a survivor goes to the other cold dimension in this ark, care must be taken with the Orks. DOMESTICATED: tame an Orkoraptor its not easy, but its a pretty popular creature in all the mid tier tribes, it skill to be inmune to the tek weapons its probably the reason of this, attack a tek tribe with an Orko small pack its the easier way to take control of a greate base, the tek turrets are usless against this dinosaurs, and it camuflage make the Orko undetectable to a normal turrets, the only way to defense a greate base from this killer is use fire elements to bring light and ruins its almost perfect camuflage, also its poison feather porduce a corrocive react on the skin tissu of all suvivors, so if you try to kill a orkoraptor with primitive or a melee weapons, you probably get a bit of hurting damage, fortunately, this poison corrosive liquid is not efective when the survivor is on his saddle, and when the Orkoraptor is appased with its owner, the venom its pretty less dangerous, so the owners can pet its orkoraptor pretty frecuently if they want. Furthermore, all the exaggerated super-predatory characteristics of this creature, like other members of the neovenatoridae, make it an excellent and faster assassin, and its stealth abilities provide an opportunity for Make a surprise attack on other creatures and survivors, with this creature you have a murderer with the ability to inflict great damage, also if you tame three Orks you can have a gang of apex predators, but tame more than 3 Orks might not be a good idea, their predatory abilities and sagacity make all the other creatures in the base potential prey for these creatures, however, if a tribe tames more than three, the Ork limit will be higher for a massacre to happen. To tame an Orkoraptor you must steal an egg (not fertile) with an Ork egg, the survivor can make a recipe to make a soup, when you eat it, you will get the same smell of an Orkoraptor, when you find your orkoraptor, you must kill large creatures for it, after that you must stroke it once, and then repeat this process every time you kill a large creature for him, if you stroke him more than 1 time and kill no more than 1 prey for it, the Orkoraptor will disappear or .. you will probably die this is just a suggestion if you want share your ideas please do it ^^ i made a proto dossier xdd i dont have time to make a better one sorry xdd Fan proto-dossier By Tyrannus Dante xd Art By Teratophoneus on Deviantart

Corythosaurus: The "Snack that Fights back" Abstract: The Corythosaurus Maximus is an absolute force to be reckoned with, being one of the only herbivores that can claim the title of being able to fend off groups of Raptors, Carnos, and Allos. Additionally the Corythosaurus will be the dinosaur to break the stigma of Herbivorous dinosaurs, especially hadrosaurs, being Defenseless. Corythosaurus Maximus has excellent Stamina, High Health, Mediocre speed, and Great Attack, being lethal in some circumstances. It has the ability to perform directional attacks, all varying in damage capabilities. Its secondary attacks are what make it so dangerous however, being it utilizing its massive size and stature to deal great knockback to any who oppose it. Yet another interesting part about the creature is its special ability: "Persistent stance", which allows it to buff it and its teammates' Stamina Regen and Damage Resistance, allowing its team to last longer in battle. In the wild, Corythosaurus often live solitary or in pairs, and on occasion, group up in numbers anywhere from 3 to 10! With the largest and most powerful individuals having increased Stamina regen and Damage resistance given to by the rest of the herd. All in All, the Corythosaurus is one of the most durable, and hard-hitting herbivores of Fjordur. Introduction: Are you tired of the all-too-common stigma of Hadrosaurs being perceived as "Weak" or "Defenseless"? Or rather the over-centralized meta centered around Carnivorous dinosaurs? Well Corythosaurus Maximus is here to fix that problem! Another Giant Herbivore comparable to the Yutyrannus in size, Corythosaurus Maximus towers above the various other herbivores of Fjordur, only being outshined by the Absolutely massive Diplodocus and Brontosaurus. It is Moderately aggressive in nature, having similar habits comparable to the Therizinosaurus; Docile, until you get too close... The Corythosaurus is an All-around great tame, having Excellent Health, Stamina, and Attack. Speed: Its High Stamina allows it to be Perseverant and determined when squaring off against perceived threats, being able to deal high amounts of damage in various ways (more on that later o0o). As a callback to retro-hadrosaurs, Corythosaurus Maximus can be semi-aquatic when necessary. While not as good in the speed department as other Semi-aquatic mounts, most notably Spinosaurus and Sarcosuchus, it has enough speed in water to outrun things it can't handle on land, like Tyrannosaurus. In terms of Overall speed(land and water), Corythosaurus is a moderately slow dinosaur, primarily relying on its Amazing Stamina to trek great distances. That being said, It isn't slow to the point of annoyance (**cough cough Armored Herbivores and Sauropods**). Essentially, Corythosaurus is in a situation where it can outpace the things it can't fight, but has more than enough power to fight the things that are faster than it. Health: Being a large Herbivore, it's only natural for the Corythosaurus to have a high health pool, allowing it to endure group attacks. Its high health ties closely with its crowd-controlling abilities. Damage: This is where the fun stuff comes into play. One notable feature players will notice when fighting with the Corythosaurus is that it has directional attacks, meaning that when your camera is faced in a certain direction, the Corythosaurus will perform an attack in that direction. Allow me to elaborate further: Looking Directly forward and doing your Primary Attack prompts the Corythosaurus to Bite its attacker; does moderate damage Looking to the left or right and doing your Primary Attack prompts the Corythosaurus to slash/push its attacker; does low-moderate damage Looking Directly behind you and doing your Primary Attack prompts the Corythosaurus to do a deadly Donkey Kick; does high damage/knockback, potentially lethal for Raptor-size mounts and smaller. This smoothly transitions to its secondary attack(s): Crowd Control. When performing the normal secondary attack, the Corythosaurus will attack and deal knockback in one of two ways, both as deadly as each other: Performing your Secondary attack while looking Forward prompts the Corythosaurus to Body slam anything in front of it, dealing good damage and moderate knockback. Performing your Secondary Attack while looking backwards prompts the Corythosaurus to use its MASSIVE tail and flings any poor soul very far away from where you are; dealing High damage and even higher knockback. Special Abilities: So as we've established, the Corythosaurus is an absolute unit. To help solidify that some more, the Corythosaurus' unique ability is called "Persistent Stance". When enabled, it prompts the Corythosaurus to get on all fours and Roar furiously, buffing its own and fellow teammates' Stamina Regeneration and Damage Resistance, allowing Corythosaurus to aid in large-scale battles with lots of people involved. This combined with the Mammoth's Drums, and the Yutyrannus' Roars, can make for one hell of a team. The Cooldown for this ability is comparable to the Parasaur's intimidation Roar. Taming: The Corythosaurus is your standard knockout tame, preferring the more exotic fruits and vegetables in its environment, however it won't discriminate when fed meat, seeing as many herbivores of the modern day occasionally munch on meat for extra protein, you can also feed the Corythosaurus meat, but will work to lesser effect when compared with other options. One thing you'll need to look out for however, is that while Corythosaurus are mostly solitary, Corythosaurs will sometimes form groups of anywhere from 3-10, with the most powerful individual having buffs in Stamina Regen and Damage Resistance. While it is Preferred to tame at least two Corythosaurus to keep this buff, Corythosaurus still functions Well on its own and doesn't rely on said buff (**AHEM ALLOSAURUS ANYONE? jk jk**). Environment and Habitat: The Corythosaurus is a common sight in Plains when in large groups, but 75% of the time you'll find Solitary Corythosaurus wandering the more temperate parts of the map. Special Items?*(Optional): Being Called the "Helmet Lizard", When killed, the Corythosaurus has a 50% chance to drop a "Corythosaurus Crest", which is a vital Component when making the "Corythosaurus Club". Conclusion: The Corythosaurus would be an excellent addition to ARK for many reasons. First and foremost, It'll have the honor of breaking the in-game stigma that Herbivorous dinosaurs, especially the Hadrosaurs, are weak and defenseless (Thanks a lot Para), and show how truly dangerous, yet helpful, these dinosaurs can be. On top of that, It would go nicely along with the rest of the colorful cast of ark, being a truly giant and majestic sight to encounter(but don't get too close!!) in ARK. I hope you enjoyed reading this. I genuinely would like to see this amazing dinosaur finally get some love and be implemented into the game, if you'd like to, go ahead and vote for this lad! I'd greatly Appreciate it! P.S, Stay safe out there,

Common Name: Ubirajara Species: Ubirajara jubatus Time: Cretaceous Diet: Carnivore Temperment: Short-Tempered *More info to come soon*

The first Madagascan creature. Though aepyornis is probably interchangeable with a moa. I imagine they could function the same way. As a mount they'd be slower than a galli but more maneuverable, being able to turn on a dime. Their claws would do bleed, making it a great hit and run creature (maybe even let them pierce armour), and as a gatherer they'd be great for getting rare plants, with them being more likely to get them than other creatures. In the wild they're usually sitting on their nests and attack things that get too close. The main use of the elephant bird would be its eggs. I can definitely imagine it being an egg based tame like deinonychus, but more so once you have an aepyornis, it would generate unfertalised eggs in its inventory over time (the explanation being they get caught in its feathers). These eggs would be able to provide buffs to movement speed and melee damage upon consumption by carnivores, omnivores and players, as I think Ark is lacking in the buffs department despite the many boss fights. At your base the aepyornis can be told to sit and it will generate a nest, or will sit on the last nest it generated. Now the eggs in its inventory, will go into the nest and from the nest can be made into extraordinary kible. Whilst the aepyornis is sitting on the nest other eggs can be placed in it and incubation times are sped up. Finally, this may be a bit OP, but it could be very useful and cool, if the egg in its nest finishes incubating and then you take it out within the vicinity of the aepyornis the baby will auto imprint. But the imprint buff only activates when the creature is around, or you're riding the aepyornis. So basically, I imagine the aepyornis as Ark's giant, motherly chocobo that can hold itself in a fight. Thoughts? "Aepyornis - Wikipedia" https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aepyornis

Laellynasaura is a medium-sized Ornithscian found in arctic regions. They are bipedal and substantially larger than their real-life counterparts, being about three times larger, enough so to be rideable and comparable to an in between of the Pachy and Utahraptor. They are speedy and have a quick turning radius. They are covered in fur and their color palate is usually white or grey with highlights of black and light blue. They are normally passive creatures, but will defend themselves if attacked, they also have a unique reaction to flamethrowers, alight oil and torches, being that of fear. Harvesting their bodies reward fur, raw meat, and hide. They are tamed passively and by feeding them iced water jars. Their saddle is unlocked at level 50 and crafted in the smithy. They have an incredible ability to run on water, near identically to the real world Basilisk lizard. However, unlike the similar ability that the TEK leggings offer, Laellyenasaura can stop and move at a more controllable pace on the water. They also get a speed and damage buff when in the arctic regions or in/on water, much like the spinosaur. Their fur also is uniquely qualified to hold cold temperatures, making them a semi-natural fridge. Attack 1: Bite; the Laellynasaura bites the area in front of itself, dealing little damage. Activated by pressing Right Click, LC or Right Trigger. Attack 2: Back Kick; The Laellynasaura kicks behind it with one leg, dealing medium damage. Activated by pressing Left Click, RC or Left Trigger. Ability 3: Water-walk; this toggles the Laellynasaura’s ability to walk/run on water. Can be toggled with C, RC or R3 Jump: The Laellynasaura can jump by pressing A, X or Spacebar. Other: Laellynasaura serve as natural fridges for water containers and berries. Dossier “Common Name: Laellyna Scientific Name: Laellynasaura Aquaambulans Temperament: Defensive Time Period: Early Cretaceous Diet: Herbivorous Wild Laellynasaura Aquaambulans is a bizarre little critter found in the arctic regions of the Ark. Despite their bipedal nature, they are most closely related to the Iguanodon. Their feet are specially designed and similar to the Basilisk lizard of South America, allowing them to run on water. Due to their even more specialized feet, they can even just stand or walk on the water. They aren’t very high on the food chain, but their speed allows them to stay ahead of lower predators such as Sabertooths or Direwolves. Domesticated After taming these quick and cunning creatures, the ability to maneuver over water is at your command. Their natural affinity for the element, solid or liquid, also makes them fairly useful combat mounts. Their mobility, paired with their fridge-like coat make them one of the best non-flyer transport mounts and can pack a surprising punch if used correctly.” General Base stat description: Health: Low to medium Stamina: High Oxygen: High Food: Medium Weight: Low to medium Melee: Low to Medium Speed: Medium to High Misc: Laellynasaura require very cold temperatures for their eggs to incubate. Laellynasaura are resistant to Managarmr beams and Ice Amargasaurus quills, while it is immune to Ice Wyvern breath. Laellynasaura take extra damage from Torches, Flamethrowers, Fire, Fire Wyvern Breath, Fire Amargasaurus quills and Magmasaur attacks. Laellynasaura’s name roughly translates to Water Walking Laellyn’s Lizard. The Laellynasaura has four color regions, being its scales, head patterning, stripes, and feathers. Note: The attached image is a recreation of the real life Laellynasaura. it does not perfectly describe its look in this suggestion.

I've made a post about this creature and made a dossier on it. i will also go into detail again about its functions. with the news that a new creature vote will be coming to ark survival evolved i want to pitch my idea for a fantasy creature. Introducing The Dragon A large reptile a tad bigger than the Wyvern but has four legs a large tail and thick horns this creature is highly aggressive and will attack anything on sight. it has the capacity to carry creatures in its mouth and with its front hand claws. My Dragon compared to the boss has more combat abilities and have different variants. like the giga the dragon has a rage mode once it takes enough damage, it has a charge ability like the trike only instead of running and butting its head the dragon will stand on it hind legs and spin in a circle causing radius damage. The Dragon on top of its breath attack also has multiple melee attacks such as a tail whip, a slam and claw slash causing bleeding damage. This is mostly up to the developers but i planned to give this thing a TEK saddle that replaces it's melee attacks Breath Attack = Pulse Cannon Spin Attack = Grenade Barrage The variants will offer each a unique way to tackle the world: The Fire Variant is fire resistant and can quickly destroy metal with it's fire balls and fire roar and when they die you can harvest Prime Meat, Keratin and Organic Polymer The Electric Variant is Shock Resistant and it's roar launches an EMP that disables electronics but not TEK recharges for five minutes and can shoot paralyzing projectiles and when killed they give you Crystal and Gems The Element Variant is resistant to TEK attacks but with it's breath attack it can destroy TEK structures and armor and when killed they can give you Element Dust and it's breath attack can only be used if it has element in it's system. The Avian Variant is a bird like Dragon but it flies faster the the other Dragons and has a wind breath attack that can send survivors or dinos flying, i consider this one to be the weakest variant but it can carry a lot more and when killed it can give you Pelt and Fiber. To tame these creatures you need to knock them out like golems with a catapult, cannon or rocket launchers and feed them rare mushrooms. Note these animal can not be bred or cloned. Let me know what you think and if the devs see this thank you for checking it out

TLDR: Basilisk TLC needs to add a coil ability that makes moving the creature around easier. Coil: Using the "C" key, the basilisk coils itself in place, and is able to pivot around while being unable to move forward or backward. When a movement key is used, the snake moves in the direction it was facing. Poison spit can be used as normal or in this "coiled" state. I recently asked some newer players to ark about their experience with the basilisk, and the overwhelming thought was "this is cool but I'll never use it". The problem with this creature stems not from its stats or abilities, but instead from the simple reality that moving it is torture. It has an extremely slow swim speed, insanely wide turning radius, and to top it off it has a narrow front facing bite that can't cover attacks from the sides or rear. Any one of these things isn't the end of the world, but together they make this snake so cumbersome to control and move around the ark with that it doesn't warrant use outside of niche PvP settings. Therefore I suggest a TLC for this creature that focuses on player control rather than moves/abilities: coil. This new ability resolves a lot of the cheese issues it has with attackers that spin around the back of the creature, while also making sure it can't easily chase agile targets (it has to coil and uncoil each time it wants to pivot). For PvE, it's also valuable for getting unstuck from rocks/trees and adjusting basic movement for easier control. The basilisk already has excellent stats and has a strong bite and poison ability, but is held back so much by basic movement that it doesn't get the attention it deserves. Any thoughts on this ability would be greatly appreciated!
