Hello Survivors, here is my submission for the Aberration Creature Vote, I have typed all the necessary information here for easy reading, but if you prefer a more traditional approach I have also attached a sample dossier at the end of the post. Enjoy! Dossier: Common Name: Fringe-Limbed Tree Frog (Flying Frog) Species: Ecnomiohyla rabborum Time Period: Modern (Extinct) Diet: Carnivorous Temperament: Aggressive Wild: In my time amongst the crags, cliffs, and overhangs of Aberration, I have come across a much unusual creature. In appearance it is very similar to the old earth gliding tree frog, but if it was given a huge size boost and a much more voracious appetite. These cliff dwelling amphibians will eat anything they can get their mouth around, but they have an unusual way of doing it. Despite being agile, fast, and able to cover great distances through the air, these silent hunters prefer to wait in ambush. They use their sticky feet to cling to the underside of an overhang or the side of a cliff, and when potential prey walks by they use their long, whip-like tongue to grab them and reel them into their jaws, swallowing their prey whole. I've even heard tale of one being seen grappling a full-grown rex. Domestic: Should you or your tribemates be crazy enough to tame such a creature, you will find yourselves in the company of a very useful friend. Once tamed, they can use their tongue to grab enemies and their tames, bringing them in close so that you and your tribemates can make the final blow. They can also use this same attack to grab ahold of wild dinosaurs, bringing them in and holding them still so that they can be knocked out or killed. While they don't have much in the way of teeth, their saliva is acidic in nature, and will consistently injure the enemy or dino that is being held. Much like the rock drake that also calls this ARK home, they are capable of climbing any surface, and of gliding great distances using the webbing in their hands and feet. While they are not found in or around water, they are also superb swimmers, and are capable of utilizing this same grab attack even when submerged. Taming: These slimy critters understand one thing better than any creature I've encountered thus far: food. They are voracious eaters, and in order to befriend one, you'll have to feed it live dinosaurs that have been tamed by you or your tribe, but be careful not to end up as a meal yourself! Once full, it should be relatively familiar with your scent, and will descend from its perch to greet you. At this point you will be able to saddle it up and be on your way! Just be careful that the feeding process is not interrupted by any dinosaurs that haven't been tamed by you or your tribe, as this will only hinder the process. Abilities: - Tongue Grapple: Shoots target with tongue, grabbing them and reeling them into the frogs jaws - Tongue Slap: Instead of grappling, you can choose to have your frog simply slap the target - Acidic Saliva: Once grappled, the target is subject to consistent damage from the frog's saliva, as long as they are grappled. This saliva also melts weapons and armor. - Gliding: Can leap into the air and glide great distances - Climbing: Can climb vertically and upside-down - Rider Weaponry Allowed: Grapple a target with your frog's tongue attack, reel them in, and then attack with your own weapons! - Immune to Fall Damage - 360 Rider View Breeding: Like most amphibians, this creature needs to be in water for breeding, and the eggs must stay underwater throughout the entire incubation process. Once the egg hatches, the baby will be a tadpole, and will need to remain in the water until the juvenile stage, at which point they can be removed from the water and brought onto land to grow. Spawning: In the wild, the flying frog can be found clinging to the walls and cliffs of Aberration, waiting for an unsuspecting, yet tasty, snack. Notes: This creature has wonderful PvP and PvE applications. It has armor melting saliva, great mobility, the ability to grapple both players and tames larger than itself (up to Rex size), it can swim, glide through the air, or simply hop along the ground. The player can use weapons, see in 360 degrees when stationary, and even park their frog for safekeeping on a cliff or a wall before dismounting, if they so choose.

giant demon bird Kelenken, A true terror Bird !
droidcommander posted a suggestion in Creature submission archive
Dossier Description: Kelenken is a giant Carnivorous Bird that can be found gliding around the canyons and cliffs of the Ark. The Kelenken is highly aggressive towards any animals that approach it, as is needed in an ecosystem filled with giant Theropods twice it's size. Kelenken are perfectly evolved for arid environments, the higher the temparature, the faster they are. They can often be found in pairs that have an incredibly strong connection, being basically inseperable. If someone were to try to tame one of the pair, they'd most likely need to tame both of them, as a lonely Kelenken quickly becomes depressed if not accompanied by it's partner. Taming Method: Lone Kelenken: A lone will often sit down and mope around, giving you the oppurtunity to feed it some incredibly delicious treats (Jerky, Mutton, Kibble etc.) to try and raise it's moral. Pair of Kelenkens: A pair of Kelenkens is a force to be reckoned with, unless, you are riding a terror bird. Kelenken seem to have no quarrel with their lesser brethren, and will except your presence as long as you have a tamed Terror Bird next to you, at this point you'll need to feed both Kelenkens with anything from spoiled meat to Mutton (they'll be happy with anything, as long as they're together.) Current Abilities/attributes/use: Abilities/Attacks: Bite/Kick: it's a simple attack. Pick Up: The Kelenken picks up and swallows small creatures Regurgitation: After swallowing a few small creatures alive and digesting them, a kelenken can regurtite it's stomach acid to defend its self from any foes. Screech: Because why not. Gliding: Much like terror birds Kelenken can glide, but unlike their smaller cousins they glide more like Rock drakes or Maewings, while also still having the abilitie to slow their fall by flapping their wings rapidly AB-Manipulator-The Bioluminescent Ambush Hunter: Out of all the creatures I’ve found on this forsaken ark I wouldn’t have thought one oft he only real animals on it would be a giant predatory roach, but here we are. Manipulator Modificaputis is the largest insect I’ve seen since Rhyniognatha. The Manipulator is a incredibly aggressive carnivore that seems to mostly prey on the glow-bugs that fly around the caves, causing it to develope a charge glow of it’s own. Despite ist large wings it seems tob e unable to fly only being able to slow ist fall with rapid wing-flaps this, combined with ist ability to jump to heights even a karkinos would miss make it quite the formidable predator. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelenken-
