Gigatitan In real life Gigatitan was a huge titanopteran insect that was related to modern grasshoppers. Its wingspan was around 40cm and it was so large that it was only capable of gliding. It was a predator with arms similar to a mantis. In ark Gigatitan will be the size of a wyvern although a similar size to a quetzal or rhynio could also work. It will be able to climb on cliffs and use that or its jump ability to lift off. It will have the following ablities Wing flap Once airborne gigatitan can occasionally flap its wings to increase speed and altitude/ Slash with its front legs it will slash the area perfect for doing precise dive bombing damage without getting to close to the ground Wing clipper while in flight it can capture other flyers and damage their wings. This will put the flyer into a glide mode where it will be forced to the ground and temporarily disabled. Perfect for gigatitan to catch up on its prey taming to tame them you will have to hold on to them with a grappling hook and target wild flyers that the gigatitan will attack (similar to how tamed animals attack a target) in this time you need to get it to kill as many as possible before it lands which it will after not having a target for a while. Breeding gigatitan laid its eggs inside of plants so in game you will have to put the eggs in a plant species or crop plant which it will destroy

Dossier: Name: AmphivoRex Species: Amphibious Glider Intro: In the enigmatic realm of The Center, an extraordinary adaptation has given rise to the AmphivoRex, a captivating creature inspired by the real-world Sharovipteryx. Evolving to thrive in both land and water, the AmphivoRex combines the gliding prowess of its prehistoric relative with newfound amphibious capabilities, making it a unique and versatile companion. Appearance: The AmphivoRex bears a striking resemblance to its prehistoric counterpart, the Sharovipteryx. Its body boasts an elongated form designed for streamlined gliding. With a length of approximately 2 meters (6.5 feet), the creature's remarkable adaptation includes webbed feet and specialized wing structures, allowing it to seamlessly transition between terrestrial and aquatic environments. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/603060206327918004/ https://nl.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bestand:Sharovipteryx_BW.jpg diet: The Amphivorex sustains itself on a diet of various aquatic and terrestrial food items. Its adaptable nature allows it to consume both plant-based and meat-based resources. Survivors can provide the creature with a mix of aquatic vegetation, such as aquatic mushrooms and aquatic berries, along with standard berries and meat. This diverse diet reflects the creature’s versatile lifestyle, encompassing its abilities to swim, glide, and traverse both land and water environments. behaviour: The Amphivorex exhibits a cautious yet curious behavior. It tends to avoid direct confrontations, preferring to rely on its agility and ability to swiftly escape danger. When left undisturbed, it explores its surroundings with a sense of wonder, often using its gliding abilities to move between different areas. In the wild, the Amphivorex can be observed gracefully gliding over bodies of water and scaling rocky cliffs with ease. Its amphibious nature allows it to move seamlessly between land and water, making it a versatile survivor in various environments. While not inherently aggressive, the creature will defend itself if provoked or cornered, utilizing its sharp claws and beak to fend off threats. Domesticated Amphivorex show loyalty to their handlers, forming strong bonds through consistent interaction. These creatures thrive in open spaces that allow them to demonstrate their climbing, gliding, and swimming abilities. With proper care and training, an Amphivorex can become an invaluable companion, serving as a trusty mount and a reliable mode of transportation across diverse landscapes. Habitat and Adaptations: The Center's diverse landscapes have nurtured the AmphivoRex's unique capabilities. Its wing adaptation facilitates both efficient gliding through the air and graceful swimming beneath the water's surface. This dual adaptation has elevated the AmphivoRex as a true amphibious explorer, making it a valuable companion for navigating the land, skies, and aquatic depths. https://www.reptileevolution.com/sharovipteryx.htm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sharovipteryx Abilities: 1. **Amphibious Glide:** The AmphivoRex's wings and webbed feet enable it to glide through both the air and water with remarkable agility. This amphibious gliding ability allows it to traverse land and aquatic environments effortlessly, expanding survivors' exploration horizons. 2. **Aquatic Forager:** In its amphibious habitat, the AmphivoRex excels as a forager, utilizing its webbed feet and gliding motion to skim the water's surface and capture aquatic prey. This natural foraging ability benefits both the creature and its survivor allies. 3. **Dual Defense Mechanism:** The AmphivoRex exhibits a unique defense strategy that capitalizes on its dual abilities. When threatened in the water, it can swiftly dive underwater, employing its streamlined form to evade danger. On land, it utilizes its wings to create a threatening display, deterring potential predators. 4. Wall Climbing: The amphivorex strong limbs and specialized toe pads enable it to cling to and climb vertical surfaces, including rock walls and trees. This ability grants it access to hard-to-reach areas and serves as a unique means of both defense and escape. https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sharovipteryx Saddle and Taming: The AmphivoRex does not require a saddle to be ridden. Its streamlined body and natural gliding capabilities allow survivors to seamlessly mount and ride it without additional equipment. Taming the Amphivorex requires a hands-on and physically engaging approach, as survivors must ride the creature and accompany it through its natural activities of climbing, swimming, and gliding. To initiate the taming process, survivors need to locate a wild Amphivorex in the forested areas near water bodies within the Center map. Once found, the survivor should approach the creature cautiously and gain its attention. Once the Amphivorex acknowledges the survivor’s presence, they can carefully mount the creature’s back. The challenge begins as the survivor must maintain their balance while the Amphivorex showcases its agility. The Amphivorex will embark on a journey that includes climbing up steep terrain, swimming through water bodies, and gliding gracefully between trees. Survivors must skillfully adjust their position to stay on the creature’s back and keep their balance during these diverse activities. To keep the Amphivorex tamed and cooperative, survivors must feed it a mix of aquatic and terrestrial food items during the journey. This not only sustains the creature’s energy but also reinforces the survivor’s role as a provider and partner. The Amphivorex will occasionally pause during its journey, providing the survivor with the opportunity to dismount briefly to gather more food resources. However, they must remain vigilant, as the creature’s trust can waver if left unattended for too long. Successfully navigating through the taming journey while maintaining balance and nourishing the Amphivorex will establish a strong bond between the survivor and the creature. Once the journey is complete, the Amphivorex will acknowledge the survivor as its trusted rider. As a tamed companion, the Amphivorex can be ridden across various terrains, demonstrating its remarkable ability to transition seamlessly between land, water, and gliding. The survivor’s attentive care during the taming process will ensure a loyal and capable partner for their adventures on the ARK. https://www.reptileevolution.com/sharovipteryx.htm this is weirdly how they run (Note: The AmphivoRex is a fictional creature inspired by the real-world extinct animal Sharovipteryx. The description provided seeks to capture the creature's essence and adaptations within the context of the game.)

The real world species is from the Permian through the Triassic and we need more early tetrapod rep. This creature lives high up in the trees of aberration and is between the size of a Megalania and Megalosaurus. Though they would be longer. They would be tamed by bringing tames bodies under trees and they would then pounce and kill that animal and it would put up taming effectiveness. This species would also be a fast swimmer and runner and more of a transport mount then a fighting one. They would have a weak bite attack but their claw attack would be really strong. They could also flash bang creatures with their tail which would be good against the nameless. They could also have it's charge light havested and have a double or triple saddle . Other abilities They would be buffed like a megatherium when fighting insects. They would have a decent charge and would be good against the nameless and low level reaper kings and in groups could take down a reaper queen (pack bonus) they would be immune to radiation and have a powerful claw attack . They would be really good climbers and it would be similar to a rock drake or a megalania. They would also be good gliders and faster then rock drakes while gliding . This species wouldn't be as strong as a rock drake and it's strength is more inline with other mid sized carnivore Size in game. This creature would be on the smaller side somewhere in-between a megalania and a Megalosaurus.

Basic Info - Group; Mammalian Diet; Omnivore Temperament; Curious Tameable; Yes Ridable; No Design Inspirations Below; Dossier - Wild; Vulcanops jennyworthyae can oftentimes be seen hanging from cliffs and the cave ceilings of Aberration. They are commonly seen hunting insects and foraging for plant material to eat. Some Vulcanops have even been sighted burrowing beneath the rock and surfacing with rare trinkets such as gems, old materials, and even shards of Element. Their resonant echolocations can also be used to ward off some of the more sensitive predators of the Ark. Domesticated; Domesticated Vulcanops make for amazing pets. Although not large enough to carry a rider in flight, Vulcanops are big enough to allow Survivors to use them as a makeshift glider and rock climbing equipment, soaring through the open air and allowing the Vulcanops to carry them up any cliff sides they come across. But more than that, Vulcanops have also been used as sentries, using their high-pitched Sonic Booms to disorient smaller predators or ward off Reapers and Rock Drakes with their sensitive hearing. They can also use echolocation to locate cloaked creatures, and pass that knowledge on to their Survivors or any allied Dinosaurs. Behavior - Vulcanops jennyworthyae can oftentimes be seen flying around the open caverns of Aberration, hunting small insects or foraging underground for Plant Species Z seeds. They find Survivors curious, and as such will follow them around for a short time period if they come across them, much like an Ichthyosaurus. Drops - Raw Meat, Hide, Fur Taming - The only way to tame a Vulcanops jennyworthyae is to find one burrowing and when it comes up to feed it Plant Species Z seeds Utility - Vulcanops jennyworthyae is primarily used as a piece of mobile utility. The Vulcanops will sit on your back as opposed to your shoulder, allowing you to bring along a Light Pet, and will extend its wings to allow you to glide around. Climbing will see the Vulcanops extend the claws on its wings to grip the stone, and haul the player up in jumping bursts. This allows the player to use weapons and is directed as normal with the Climbing Pick. Abilities; Primary Attack; Bite. The Volcanops will bite the target inflicting small damage Secondary Attack; Sonic Boom. The Volcanops will release a sonic wave that deals medium damage in a cone for a short range which will also stun any creature of similar or lesser size. Can also stun creatures with sensitive hearing such as Reapers and Rock Drakes (assuming they have sensitive hearing lol) but for a shorter duration. (Think Baryonyx Stun) Passive; Burrow. A tamed Vulcanops can be commanded to burrow on cooldown, which can yield various results. These include items such as Crystals, Gems of any color, equipment (low durability and low-mid quality), Plant Species Z seeds, etc. They will also do this periodically in the wild.
