Hey everyone, and thank you for stopping by to check out my submission! Here's the Mudskipper, the modern-day land-dwelling fish. This little bugger will prove to be an useful companion throughout your journey in Scorched Earth, as its water and clay related properties will surely serve you well whether you're just starting out on Scorch or you're already in a thriving settlement that's constantly expanding. That being said, I just want to add that I wanted my submission to be something tied to the map's desert dynamic and its theme, like how Morellatops is essential early game due to its ability carry water around and how Jerboa warns you of incoming weather events. I think that's a really dope aspect of Scorched Earth that's unique among ARK's many maps. Hopefully Mudskipper covers your clay needs just as well! Now let's move on to what this little guy can do. Abilities - Can be shoulder mounted. - Similarly to Achatina, Mudskippers create Clay in their inventory when they're tamed and set to wander. However, they have to be inside water for them to be able to make the clay. Otherwise they won't make it. Theoretically you could have a pen of 100 mudskippers and get thousands of clay every day. No more dull grinding for sand and cactus sap! - Clay in their inventory weighs 90% less, as well as water containers like canteens. Mudskippers also prevent canteens, water jars and waterskins from leaking water! Remember water from containers is lost over time in Scorched Earth, so having a tamed Mudskipper by your side will greatly expand the time you can spend without refilling your water jars. - Similarly to Morellatops, Mudskippers store water, either by giving them water with a canteen or water jar, or by swimming and acquiring it. However, you can't drink water from them. Instead, think of its water meter as a light pet's charge meter. When active, Mudskippers slowly drain their water to keep you cool, even in the hottest environments like the World Scar or the dunes! It also protects you from heatstorms. - Instead of slowly draining their water, you can squish your Mudskipper to force it to release all its water. This is helpful when you or your tame have been set on fire, to get rid of that nasty debuff immediately. - You can also fill your Mudskipper from a water jug bug like you can fill a light pet with a charge bug. - A bite, because all creatures have a bite, even Jerboas, right? Right Lymantria? The bite doesn't do anything at all, it's just your standard, very low damage attack in case you have a tamed Mudskipper set on neutral. Go breed them and make Mudskippers bred for war if you wish, though. They breed in water and must be hatched inside it as well. They can't walk on land until they're adults. - You can also collect some clay from wild ones, similar to Leedsichthys and prime fish meat. When you take clay from it, however, it will flee. Drops - Raw Fish Meat - Clay What does it eat? Mudskippers eat raw meat, raw fish meat and chitin. They hunt on small insects and other tiny animals and fish. However, they are skittish and will flee when attacked. They won't fight back, but won't be bothered by your presence. How to tame To tame a Mudskipper one must wait until night at exactly 20:00 and chain bola it, then feed it a wyvern egg after drinking a beer. Nah just joking lmao Just walk up to one and feed it chitin. That's it. They eat small insects and creatures, so giving it pieces of an insect will surely make it friendly. Stats - HP: 60 - Stamina: 100 - Oxygen: N/A (they're fish) - Food: 500 - Weight: 120 - Bite/Melee damage amount: 3 base damage - Movement speed: Same speed as jerboa - Torpidity: Immune (Its clay-layered skin prevents it from being knocked out with narcotic poison) - Growth and hatch speed of Diplocaulus Like the submission? Give it an upvote and comment down below! I'm only here for the fun of the contest, not to get to the top, but it's always fun to read people's opinions! That's it, thank you for checking the Mudskipper out and have a great day! Dossier and Mudskipper art down below! Unfortunately post limit forces me to massively lower the quality on them, so I apologize if the images are a bit noisy!

Species: Rhizodus gigas Time: Carboniferous Diet: Carnivore Size: about 20 meters Sadle unlocks at 78 lvl Stats: 700 health 500 stamina 300 moisture (oxygen) 75 basic damage ??? Speed 600 weight(selica and black pearls weight less in its inventory) About: Rhizodus gigas is giant fish that terrorizes freshwater, sometimes saltwater and even land fauna that got unlucky being near water while Rhizodus is around. Even tho Rhizodus gigas is a fish it can crawl on land to catch its prey, but prey on land is fast so it uses it slimy belly to charge at it and have better chances of catching it. Original Earths Rhizodus was only a Freshwater fish but Rhizodus gigas can also be found in oceans. Abilities: 1. Grab When Rhizodus catches small prey it swallows it whole but when it catches big prey it takes it as deep as possible and drowns it, in fear preys oxygen drains way faster than usuall. If you tame it you can use grab ability to grab your own tames or tribemates and take then underwater without worrying about them drowning cuz Rhizodus will provide them with oxygen. If it grabs another water creature it will start mauling it with its powerfull jaws Deals 70 damage doesnt matter if u grab wild creature or your own tame 2. Tail slap Tail slap stuns small animals in water and does huge knockback + bonebreak(20 sec.) on land. Deals 50 basic damage 3. Charge Charge gives Rhizodus speed boost for 7 seconds and deals 5 basic damage to everything that gets in the way 4. Slide Rhizodus can use its slimy belly to slide on land like a penguin, but can use it only 3 times, if all 3 is used it will have cooldown 10 minutes until you can use it again 5. Fire resistance Slime protects Rhizodus from getting burned or take damage from fire 6. Thick skull Rhizodus will take less damage from being shot/hit in the head Taming method: 1. Use repelant and let it swallow you after which it will spit you out and take some torpor(will drop very slowly) and then wait for it to do it again to knock it out, Rhizodus will eat any sort of meat exept for spoiled one but its most favorite is lamb 2. Become Jeremy and use fishing to tame it! 3. Make it swallow something poisonous to make it fall unconcious 4. Make it swallow carbonemis so it will choke and fall unconcious Can farm: Selica pearls, Black pearls, stone and flint Cant shoot from saddle

Name: Onchopristis Species: Onchopristis Numida Time: Cretaceous Diet: Carnivore Temperament: Passive Aggressive Wild Onchopristis is a typically docile species of fish in the waterways it calls home, only attacking other fish for food. However most experienced survivors avoid them as they may not be aggressive or dangerous themselves, but they will bump and harass swimmers and boats which can stun mounts or disable boats, making them something of a pest. They make for good eating however and get hunted by many river tribes for their rostrum and meat. Domesticated A tamed Onchopristis is a truly amazing mount for those who need a fast escape option that can buy them time. With a swipe this fish can disable boats or swimming tames, or survivors, to give an edge in terms of saving your hide. It also is able to float on the water surface to allow a rider to fish or relax. In combat and hunting it devastates fish or soft bodied creatures, though it fairs poorly against armored creatures. Most smaller or similar sizes predators avoid them due to their dangerous rostrum, however larger predators might. It also is able to swim in extremely shallow water which makes it perfect for river travels. A decent mount that while there are better or equal options, Onchopristis still has a place in any water fairing tribe as a backup or escape plan.

Ptychodus- Clam Eating NURSE Shark(healer)
GrimmStreams posted a suggestion in Creature submission archive
Name-Ptychodus Mortoni- Ancient NURSE SHARK Diet:Carnivore,Mollusk Eater Time: Paleocene, Cretaceous Wild: The Ptchodus is a MOSTLY docile Creature Feeding Off Its Main Diet of AMMONITE, Euryptarid, and TRILOBITE, But if You Take Their Pearls They WILL GET ANGRY! Special Ability- Due To The Diet of The Nurse Shark Being Mollusk, Ammonites and Poisonous Euryptarids The Ptychodus Forms a Type of Mucus that Covers its entire Body. When Attacked it will Attract Predators to the Attacker as Well as Slight Poison Damage. Taming: To Tame Them you must Use The Pheromone Dart and Sacrifice your friend...with Pearls in its inventory...more pearls (black better) the better the Efficiancy! Their Size is As Large Or larger than The Megs We have In ark Today! Once Tamed The MUCUS on its Body Can Be Refined With Black Pearls and absorbent Substrate To Create A SALVE that can Be administored To ANY Dino For A 25% health increase! Domesticated-The Ptychodus Is UNMATCHED in Pearl collecting! it isnt very fast but can take a hit and keep on ticking! its Bit has a tear like Bleed ability due to its Strange Shaped Teeth. It Is a Better Tame SOLO and gets a boost when No other Sharks are around(including Megs). Breeding- This Species Doesnt Like its own Kind. So if you have 2 Close to eachother of the same sex they will not breed!(like Gacha) https://naturerules1.fandom.com/wiki/Ptychodus https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/884176-Ptychodus -

Common Name: Electrophorus Species: Electrophorus Beluadomito Time: Holocene Diet: Carnivore Temperament: Reactive Wild: Occupying a space in the low-to-middle end of the food chain, Electrophorus beluadomito is a carnivorous swimmer that feeds mostly off of shellfish and small fish. Despite its common name, it is actually a very long knifefish, and not an eel. It does not provide much meat, so many predators simply leave it be. Unlike most predators, it does not use brute strength to bring down its prey, but instead releases an electrical charge around itself to knock its prey unconscious. Alone, this can take out a small creature. When attacking together, Electrophorus can even bring down the larger ocean lifeforms, then feed as a group. Domesticated: By far, the most common use of Electrophorus is to subdue large ocean creatures. Knocking out a Plesiosaur or other giant deep-sea leviathan can be incredibly difficult, thus many tribes employ small schools of Electrophorusto shock targets into submission! -

Common Name: Pegomastax Species: Melanocetus Anglerprescum Time: Early Cretaceous-Holocene Diet: Carnivore Temperament: Aggressive to small fry, otherwise skittish! Wild: Whether it’s size is caused by adaptation to the island’s other inhabitants, or by cross-breeding with another larger species, Melanocetus Anglerprescum is the largest form of Anglerfish I’ve ever heard of. Typically found only among the deepest, darkest expanses of the ocean, this creature preys on smaller fish while being an excellent source of food for larger predators. Melanocetus has an array of bioluminescent light pods at the end of stalks on it’s head. Like typical Anglerfish, it primarily uses these to attract smaller fish and trick them into coming close enough for Melanocetus to consume it’s prey. This often makes wild Melanocetus itself relatively easy to spot among the briny depths. Domesticated: Exploring the depths of the ocean can be difficult. The cold, the lack of air, and the shocking absence of light combine to make travel very dangerous. A tamed Anglerfish can use the natural light at the end of it’s stalks to illuminate the depths, making exploration not only safer, but more lucrative. Furthermore, these luminescent nodules can be harvested to create long-lasting organic light emplacements for surface dwellings. -

Common Name: Coelacanth Species: Coelacanth nutritia Time: Cretaceous-Holocene Diet: Omnivore Temperament: Reactive Wild: Coelacanth nutritia is one of the few creatures on the island with a relative that can be found back home. The Coelacanth lives in the waters around the island, as well as the rivers and lakes within the island. Unlike most Coelacanth, Coelacanth nutritia meat contains less oil and urea. In fact, it is one of the healthier sources of meat on the island. Most Coelacanths are opportunistic feeders that eat anything smaller that itself, likely including baby water snakes, insect and plant life, and perhaps each other? Domesticated: While Coelacanths cannot be tamed the way most creatures on the island can, they provide a possible source of meat for coastal tribes that have the time to catch them. -

Common Name: Dunkleosteus Species: Dunkleosteus Loricaruptor Time: Late Devonian Diet: Carnivore Temperament: Aggressive Wild: Dunkleosteus Loricaruptor is a very strange creature. It is a fairly large fish, covered head to tail in armored plates, with incredibly powerful jaws. It tends to eat the islands' water-dwelling crustaceans, as it not fast enough to catch most of the smaller fish. Dunkleosteus is a surprisingly combat-oriented for a fish. Its well-armored body protects it from many creatures, while its bite is strong enough to easily crush through chitinous shells. Domesticated: Dunkleosteus is an incredibly useful fish for coastal communities. Its powerful jaws make short work of the stone and oil formations found throughout the oceanic depths. While harvesting, Dunkleosteus can handily defend its rider from all but the largest threats in the waters. And once past its prime, the Dunkleosteus can be harvested for a fair amount of Chitin. -

Common Name: Leedsichthys Species: Leedsichthys Conviviumbrosia Time: Mid-Jurassic Diet: Piscivore Temperament: Defensive Wild: Leedsichthys Conviviumbrosia is probably the largest fish in the waters around the island. Its meant is also extremely succulent, a surprise given its size. It is often traded with the same value as Prime Meat, and colloquially called ‘Prime Fish’. Of course, not all of Leedsichthys’ meat is this high quality but most of it is! While the demand for Leedsichthys meat is high, the fish is notoriously difficult to track and hunt. Between its large size, powerful attacks, incredible speed (when it turns to flee), and humankind’s general ineptitude on open water, actually killing a Leedsichthys is one of the island’s more difficult tasks. The hunt for an extremely elusive breed of the fish, the fabled ‘Great Albino’ Leedsichthys has been known to drive otherwise-sensible men and women mad with obsession, as if all evil were visibly personified and made practically assailable in this one creature. Domesticated: Despite its large size, and the fact that it may well be strong enough to carry heavy loads, Leedsichthys does not appear to be intelligent enough to tame. Nevertheless, some large tribes keep an enormous pen with a few Leedsichthys trapped inside for cultivating purposes, as bits of prime fish can be repeatedly scraped off the gargantuan beast without killing it. -

Common Name: Manta Species: Manta Mobula Time: Early Oligocene - Holocene Diet: Carnivore Temperament: Defensive Wild: Here is another example of a creature that seems to have evolved beyond its historical traits. Everything points to this being a saltwater ray, but Manta Mobula has developed the ability to swim into the island´s rivers and shallows, as well as through the open ocean. Perhaps there were originally two types of ray on the island before, but years of interbreeding combined their lineage. Normally docile, the Manta Mobula is a carnivore only in that it consumes Plankton. Its tail is incredibly sharp, and can pierce through thick hide and armor with ease. Fortunately, Manta Mobula is usually not aggressive, unless encouraged. Domesticated: While not the fastest swimmer around the island, Manta Mobula is the deadliest of small ocean mounts, and can be ridden bare-back. Tribes who value striking power over speed often keep large schools of Manta to ride. Its capability to briefly leap out of water provides it a showy tactic for avoiding combat as well. A quick jab through the heart onto an unsuspecting survivor can easily take them by surprise. Thusly, many tribes use it as an escort for their slower cargo-carrying swimmers. -

Common Name: Megalodon Species: Carcharodon ultramegalodon Time: Miocene-Pliocene Diet: Carnivore Temperament: Aggressive Wild: Were it not restricted to the waters, Carcharodon ultramegalodon might be the most dangerous creature on the island. As powerful and dangerous as the Tyrannosaurus is on land, Megalodon is its equal in the water. In addition, it has a speed advantage over any non-aquatic creature. Megalodons need large quantities of food to sustain themselves, so they attack most creatures immediately on sight. Smaller fish are the sole exception I've seen; I believe this is because they cost more energy for Megalodons to catch than they would gain. Domesticated: If someone is able to tame this beast, that person would be the undisputed ruler of the oceans around the island and would have access to resources no one can safely find! -

Common Name: Piranha Species: Megapiranha magnadmorsus Time: Late Miocene Diet: Carnivore Temperament: Aggressive Wild: Megapiranha magnadmorsus is carnivorous fish found fairly commonly in the rivers and ponds of the island. Its bite is incredibly powerful; I've even seen them break through the armored turtles of the island. Megapiranha has one of the strongest bites, pound-for-pound, of any creature on the island. When encountering a Megapiranha, be on the lookout for the rest of the school. No one Megapiranha is an overwhelming threat, but their tendency to swarm prey can make short work of much larger and stronger creatures. Any given Megapiranha is easy to kill, but killing the entire school can be a daunting task. Domesticated: Like some of the other creatures on the island, a tamed Megapiranha is best suited as a guard. Their high metabolism makes them require more food than many other creatures, but they are very adept at hunting their own food, particularly the Coelacanths.
