Cryodrakon Harasser • Insulator • Ambush Mount • Ice Immunity [Chill out survivors!, Allow me to break the ice and introduce...] Common Name: Cryodrakon Species: Cryodrakon Chione Time: Late Cretaceous Diet: Opportunist Carnivore Temperament: Aggressive Wild: It is strange to see pterosaurs flying in the snow biomes without suffering in these extremely low temperatures. In the beginning, the survivors didn’t believe in the tales about a flying reptile with freezing breath until they saw a feathered group of pterosaurs creating a small snowstorm around a Megaloceros couple, freezing their victims with their freezing water breath. Taming: In order to tame a Cryodrakon, you must first hide from its keen thermal senses by using Fria Curry to obscure your heat signature and confuse it. When approached while in this state, it will start frantically flapping its wings at which point you can feed it Spicy Fish Cake or kibble to restore its strength. Once it consumes the Spicy Fish Cake, the effects of the spicy food will kick in. After flapping its wings, it will release a burst of cold air that pushes you back slightly. You must then run away before it notices you and repeat the process over and over until it is fully tamed. Domesticated: Survivors found a way to domesticate these Frost-breathing creatures. Cryodrakons' favorite foods are Prime Meat, Jerky, and Spicy fish cake. The tribe uses these pterosaurs as a living refrigerator, a substitute for the cryo-fridge, and a flying saddle to blind and raid the enemies’ bases. Height Chart Abilities/Controls Frostbite (Hold leftclick/R2/RT to charge up): The Cryodrakon rears its head back before swinging its head down to inflict a devastating bite upon its target. (at least 50% stronger than basic melee) with a 5-7 second cooldown Ice Peck (Left Click/R2/RT): Relatively quick melee attack with moderate damage Right Click/L2/LT: Blizzard/Snowstorm The Cryodrakon takes to the skies and starts flying in tight, circular loops around a designated area, summoning a swirling blizzard. Every player and creature caught in the vortex is hit with the new "Wind Chilled" effect—reducing movement speed by 50% (as if they just strolled into a snowdrift on a winter day). In addition, players caught in the tempest will be dismounted and frozen, leaving them to reconsider their life choices (or at least their choice of mount). Interrupt: If the Cryodrakon loses 15% or more of its total health during this action, the blizzard is immediately cancelled—because even a frosty storm needs a break when it’s taking a hit. C/R1 /LB: Icicle Feathers. The Cryodrakon hisses and becomes covered in ice Feathers. When active, it increases Frozen Feathers' armor value and inflicts return damage to attackers. It can be used every 15s by both a rider and the AI X/R1+R3/RB+RT: Thermal Vision. The Cryodrakon reveals nearby thermal sources to the player's eyes. Space/X/A: The Cryodrakon starts flying. To land press the same button near the ground. Cryodrakon's feathers The Cryodrakon Chione naturally regenerates Cryodrakon’s feather after it uses or loses one, the regeneration time seems to be around 8 seconds per feather, using this numbers if the Cryo loses all its 15 feathers it will need to wait a total time of 170 seconds (or 2:09 minutes) to regenerate them all. To retrieve a Cryodrakon's feather use the radial wheel, once retrieved it can be used to craft the Cryodrakon's Saddle or to gain +50 increased hypothermal insulation. SADDLE Despite being an Azhdarchid as massive as a Quetzal, the Cryodrakon outflies it, perfect for when you're trying to escape from creatures like Wyverns. This Saddle is designed for maxium comfort for both you and your Cryodrakon, making long journeys a cold air breeze. Instead of having to strap your torch onto the saddle of this Giant Winter King, just light the lantern by your seat and ride on into the night. Passive Turret Mode: The Cryodrakon has a turret mode, allowing its AI to stay in position while it freezing the target Flock Bond: This Cold Pterosaur has a warm heart for its flock, allowing it to increase its damage by 20% to protect its group. Meat Preservation: The Cryodrakon’s Inventory doubles the spoilage time of all kinds of Meat inside the Cryodrakon's inventory, making a total preservation time of x8 the normal time. It also reduces the total weight of the meat by 70%. Minor Immunity to Cryosickness: The Cryodrakon Chione is slightly resistant to Cryosickness from Cryopods, receiving only 60% of the torpor effect and having its stamina reduced by half. Utility Environmental Travel: The Cryodrakon can swiftly traverse cold regions, offering excellent insulation. It is an ideal travel mount for exploring areas with lower temperatures. Insulation: Similar to the Basilosaurus, riding the Cryodrakon provides the player with the Insulation buff, massively increasing the player's Hypothermic and Hyperthermic insulation Mobile Icebox Cryodrakon isn’t just a fierce flyer—it moonlights as a state-of-the-art mobile cryofridge! It can store perishable items in its inventory with a spoil timer equivalent to that of a Refrigerator, even when its cold feathers aren’t active (yes, that’s a cool upgrade at Level up Weight). Not only does it handle your everyday perishables, but it also keeps hard-to-store items like Wyvern Milk and Nameless Venom fresh for an impressively long time compared to a fridge. Cryodrakon's Nest This nest will be a special craftable structure designed for incubating Cryodrakon eggs. Instead of using an incubator, you can hatch them in this nest, which will speed up the incubation process.
