Name: Murrayglossus – The Prehistoric Echidna Species Name: Zaglossus Hacketti Time Period: Modern Day Diet: Chitin or Keratin Temperament: Passive (Arthropods are an exception) Introduction The Echidna is one of the most unique mammals on the planet. This marsupial makes its home across Australia and parts of New Guinea. Known as the spiny anteater due to its appearance, the Echidna is one of the only mammal's asides from the platypus to lay eggs. The ancestor of the Echidna which was discovered in 1909 was named Murrayglossus or Giant Echidna. It is not said where this creature existed, only that it was the size of the average dog. However, as Ark has a tendency of enlarging their creatures, the Murrayglossus would be about the size of a Trike. The uniqueness of this creature as well as its adaptations could be useful for survivors of Ragnarök. Wiki page of Echidna: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echidna Wiki page of Murrayglossus: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murrayglossus Wild The Murrayglossus is an insectivore that lives in the redwoods on Ragnarök. You may not find more than two in an area since the Echidna are solitary by nature in real life. For the most part, they are passive creatures but when attacked by any creature that is not an arthropod, the Murrayglossus will go into defence mode by burrowing part way into the ground, deflecting their attackers with its spines which will damage them. This can also provide a defence buff to the Murrayglossus. When approached by a survivor, it will also into defence mode. If there are arthropods in the area, the Murrayglossus will not hesitate to attack until its dead (tamed or not). Taming Like Carchardontosaurus, the way to tame a Murrayglossus is to feed it the corpses of Arthropods; • Araneo • Arthropleura • Deathworm • Dung Beetle • Giant Bee • Jug Bug • Lymantria • Mantis • Meganeura • Pulmonoscorpius • Titanomyrma If the new Rhyniognatha is put on Ragnarök, that can be added to the list as well. However, only by wearing a full set of chitin armour can the survivor approach the Murrayglossus, and the taming process begin as the Murrayglossus will follow you around. The Arthropod killed must be killed by the player otherwise it won’t count toward the taming process. If the Murrayglossus takes damage whilst taming, it will lose taming effectiveness. If you remove a piece of chitin armour while the Murrayglossus is following you, the Murrayglossus shall take its defensive position and won’t be able to tame again until you either get out of render distance or wait for a cooldown. Gameplay Due to the spikiness of the Murrayglossus, this creature would not be ridable properly. However, it can be ordered around like other creatures and can be commanded to bury itself. This can be useful as a way of defending your bases and creatures’ survivors wish to tame. This ability would be toggleable. Defence Mechanism Like the Echidna, Hedgehogs are another spikey mammal with its own uniqueness. As a form of defence, it eats anything it can find and anoint itself with their saliva. What if Murrayglossus had a similar ability? What if you put certain items in their inventory and it can apply different effects upon itself while in defence mode? Give it Narcotics, and it could do torpor. Give it Feces, and it will apply a disease effect. Give it Sap, and it will provide protection against Rhyniognatha attacks. The list goes on. Wiki page of Hedgehog: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hedgehog Video of Hedgehog: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rx4dONoJzzA Breeding As previously mentioned, Echidnas are one of the only Mammals asides from Platypus that can lay eggs. They store the egg in a pouch like a kangaroo and hatches after 10 days. This could be applied to the Murrayglossus. After mating, a Murrayglossus egg will appear in the creature’s inventory. Over time the egg will incubate and change its appearance showing the development process from egg to jelly baby to puggle. At a certain point of development, the baby would leave the inventory and can be claimed. Whilst growing, the Murrayglossus will start developing the spines. Video of Echidna hatching: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHocViqKbbc Egg Collector From what I’ve seen of other creature submissions, people want a dino that can collect eggs. The Murrayglossus would be one of these creatures. It makes sense given the nature of an Echidna but whether it would incubate the eggs would be a different story seeing as the pouch incubates its egg at 32 degrees Celsius. Some eggs, not all. The Murrayglossus, like the Maewing’s nursing, would have a radius around itself showing the affected area in which the Murrayglossus can pick up eggs. This ability would be togglable. I believe this would be one of the useful creature on the Arks. If not for it's defence but for its breeding capabilities. Let me need what you think. Any ideas?

The Submarin Saddle!! It is supposed to be a walk in saddle, a indoor submarine saddle as a little base an armory. the biggest saddle ever in the ARK history!! And he have also a periscope in it!! the ideas from ThatWAFFLEGuy49 My suggestion for the saddle is, as explained above, a metal saddle that encloses the riders (which can hold a similar number of players to a diplo) and provides them with oxygen, allows for missiles to be fired out of the top and into the air to hit targets on land that are targeted via an aiming system that uses the RTS system to click where the missile (which would Rocket Propelled Grenades for normal ammo or Rocket Homing Missiles if the rider just wants to set the target and forget it for continuous firing on that one particular spot). It could also have a second saddle which would be cheaper to create, but wouldn't provide oxygen to riders and would resemble a simple wooden ship on the back of the Livyatan with cannons along the sides for whale defense (just as Davy Jones intended). It would also gain a defensive buff if it is fed a Megacheleon shell fragment, an speed buff if fed a megalodon tooth, or can be enraged into an attack buff if fed a tuso tentacle. My personal suggestion for taming a Livyatan is to use harpoon guns and tranq spear bolts to lower the "rage" meter while it's trying to run away, then feeding by hand once it's been soothed (via similar minigame to the Equus, where the survivor holds onto one of its fins while it's thrashing about until it can be fed to increase the taming percentage), then working together with it to either kill whatever prey it is currently hunting (like an Amargasaurus, but easier, as there will be a prompt revealing what the Livyatan is craving at that moment) or, if you're lucky enough to have the organs it wants specifically (Megacheleon shell fragments, megalodon teeth, or Tuso tentacles) on hand, you can feed it the organs by hand for a little bit of an increased taming speed instead of hunting down the prey and killing it. Knocking it out results in the Livyatan drowning, as it still has to breach the surface at some point to refill its lungs, although it can hold its breath for an incredibly long amount of time. or a other saddle idea: Rainboy from the Fjördur Submission!! so it will be similar to the astrocetus but underwater, and its saddle will be basicly the top of a submarine. and instead of manned turret it has homing or normal torpedo(kinda like the rocker launcher ammo where it has homing and non homing.) and instead of the bombing ability it will have cruise missile. by using this ability to either will use it like the cruise missile we have in the game rn( you have to control it yourself) or it you can set a location for it to hit. and player will not drain oxygen when riding it. to balance it out. to use the cruise missiles. every shot will cost tuso tenticle(s). (similar to how magamasaur need metal ingot and astrocetus needs ambergris. ) and it is weak to mosasaurus and is very slow. and then saddle will have a enclosed prebuild room that is water free. kinda like a mixture between a platform saddle and a underwater vacuum compartment. where it will just be a empty room and you can build in it. The Submarin Saddle!! It is supposed to be a walk in saddle, a indoor submarine saddle as a little base an armory. the biggest saddle ever in the ARK history!! And he have also a periscope in it!! KapitanKibiro02 ideas from the Fjördur Submission!! Wild: This Beast is quite slow and lumbering at first, simply swimming about rather absentmindedly all throughout the sea. Seemingly aware of it's status as "The Biggest and Baddest thing in any body of water", until either a starving Mosa or Gutsy Tuso provokes it. Then it quickly goes on the offensive. Also like it's more modern relative the "Sperm Whale" it has incredibly versatile and effective Sonar Capabilities, however due to Livyatan's massive size and almost frighteningly somehow higher intelligence, it appears to have been able to weaponize it's Sonar Capabilities, giving it a highly stunning projectile, to smaller creatures (like say, a survivor looking to tame it) this may deal severe, lethal damage. But to something as big as a Mosasaur it's much more effective as a stun option, allowing Livyatan all the time in the world to swim up to it's newfound prey and bite a massive chunk out of it.Tamed: Despite it reacting to most land creatures with more curiosity than aggression, Livyatan's ability to kill a Survivor without even needing to touch it means it's safe to say that taming a creature this absolutely massive and powerful is no easy task. However once tamed this becomes an incredibly reliable companion and mobile fortress. It's Saddle being able to be built upon whilst also allowing submersive capabilities. I've seen warring tribes pit Livyatan against each other in an "epic sea battle" for rich underwater resources. Also as a way to easily destroy enemy ocean platforms, Livyatan is able to use a very very short quick burst of speed and use it's massive head as a battering ram. needless to say, if I were a pirate or someone who lived for the open seas, you could do absolutely no better than this Lethal Leviathan.In all seriousness having a creature that's meant to be like an actual massive slow ship that kinda goes at it's own momentum. Instead of just "an underwater rex" like the majority of what's in the ocean feels like. there's no variety in the oceans except for the Tuso because it has unique attacks and abilities and the Megachelon because you can permanently breath and build a base on it's back, but there's not enough space or build limit to make it into a proper "Armored Sub" and not to mention it's attacks are pathetic. having the Livyatan fill the role of a fusion of a Nuclear Sub and a Gangplank Galleon or something, as well as just naturally having good stats would completely revitalize Ocean Combat and make it much more diverse and fun for a lot of players, and would also double as a way to actively (and fairly) attack players on Ocean Platforms as well. IskOsc ideas from the Fjördur Submission!! "Wild: Livyatan Oceanusrex is the largest and most powerful aquatic animal I've ever seen on the ARK, even slightly beating the leedsichthys in sheer size and power! Because of this, they're the absolute top predator in the ocean, hunting everything from plesiosaurs to mosasaurs to even tusotuthis, which happens to be their favorite food! There's a reason they're called the King of The Ocean! Like any whale, these creatures have echolocation abilities, however livyatans use their extremely loud sounds not only as a way to navigate and communicate, but also as a stunning and deafening area attack, which it primarily uses to stop incomming attacks and creatures attempting to flee, so escaping it won't work either! Domesticated: Although tough to do, it is indeed possible to gain the trust of a livyatan. If you do manage to, then you have one of the strongest mounts possible! Not only is it strong, but it can use its echolocation as both a way to scan the area for nearby hostiles and as a supersonic attack, stunning and weakening creatures nearby. Being the natural predator of the tusotuthis, it's evolved to do especially well against them, killing them easier than almost any other creature." General description: As mentioned in the dossier, the livyatan is the new strongest water creature in ark, being strong enough to take down anything in its path in a fair 1v1. It's basically the giga of the ocean, having the same spawn rate and stuff, perhaps having a bit lower stats but making up for it with more stamina and its echolocation, which it uses both like a parasaur does and as a sonic blast that stuns, deals damage to and weakens nearby creatures. Being the king of the ocean, it will attack absolutely anything that's not either smaller than a basilosaurus or an alpha named alpha tusotuthis. Yes, they will fight and stand their ground, even sometimes killing wild alpha tusotuthis. Abilities: lmb: Bite - A basic bite, its main way to kill. rmb: Sonic Blast - The livyatan lets out a huge sound blast, stunning any enemy creatures as well as dealing damage and increasing the amount of damage they take for a short while. c; Sonar - Like the parasaurs. Turret Mode: The same as the parasaur. You can change it to other tribes/attacking creatures only, and in doing so will also change the manual sonar to do the same. Passive: Squid hunter - Livyatan deals more damage to tusotuthis and their alpha variant, as well as taking reduced damage from them and being unable to be blinded by their ink.

Zygophyseter: New the crafting skill of 100%!!! We get a creature for the land part and we get one for the air, what ist missing? Yes the sea, so we need a creature for the sea Discriptionof Zygophyseter from Wikipedia: Zygophyseter varolai is an extinct sperm whale that lived during the Tortonian age of the Late Miocene 11.2 to 7.6 million years ago. It is known from a single specimen from the Pietra Leccese Formation in Italy. It was a member of a stem group of fossil macroraptorial sperm whales (often shortened to "raptorial") also including Brygmophyseter, Acrophyseter, and Livyatan. It probably grew to be around 6.5 to 7 meters (21 to 23 ft) in length and shared some characteristics with other raptorials, such as large teeth with tooth enamel that were functional in both the upper and lower jaws which the modern sperm whale (Physeter macrocephalus) lacks. It also had a beak, the ability to echolocate prey, and could have probably swum faster than the modern-day sperm whale which can reach 4 kilometers per hour (2.5 mph). These were probably used in the capture of large prey, such as large fish, seals, and whales. In fact, its common name, the killer sperm whale, refers to its feeding habits that would have had a resemblance to the modern-day killer whale (Orcinus orca). Taming: He swim in a pack with babys, you must tame the baby of the group. You put Basilo Blubber of the "0" in the inventory and feed the baby the Blubber. oh i find my old post from the last vote: The archaeologists have find new discoveries about the Zygophyseter: He is the the killer whale of the old times, his passive is predator of the sea: If he swims around in 3 groups, other water animals dont attack him except Tuso and Mosa. And he make 1,5x more damage vs a Tuso. His other passive is intilligent predator: If he eats jellyfish or eels he can make shocking bite attacks on others, but he is immune to it. Sea view: his rider sees everything clear and bright in the deap sea. left klick: bite with passive (intilligent predator) right klick: headbutt -> he can make his opponent drowsi x- klick: flippers blow -> beats with his fin and can hit rider down c- klick: call buffs Call buffs: you have many call buffs with the Zygo and can swap the calls with the R like the new Tek-bow. But every call have a cooldown. And you can call only one buff. echo sounder: can uncover all livings being like the Para, you can also see how far away the animal or person is. heal call: can only be used with Zygo groups, you can heal all group member. damage call: all buffed animal get a damage buff. attackspeed call: all buffed animal get a attackspeed buff. tank call: all buffed animal get a tank buff, he get a fewer damage from opponents. slow call: all debuffed opponents are slower down. confusion call: all debuffed opponents are confused and swim awy. Their saddle is similar to the Roll Rat saddle, where the dome-shield is furled up until the player mounts Enhydriodon. Then, it unfolds and completely encases the player, protecting it from firearms, creatures that dismount the player (Cnidaria, Microraptor, Kaprosuchus, etc.) Underwater, the dome makes it so that the player will not lose oxygen while mounted, but will not replenish oxygen should the player dismount underwater, similar to the Andrewsarchus minigun saddle. His smart aura gives you (when you are in the water with him) 100% crafting skill efficiency,for a certain time!!! Form many Ideas feel free and write your ideas under the post I hope you like this creature and vote him up for the better sea in ARK

This ancient mammal was twice the size of a lion and one of the world's greatest preditors. This creature would have a bowerful bite that inflicts bleed damage. The simbakubwa was a fast and agile creature with great climbing and jumping abilities. My idea for the simbakubwa is that he would have a tracking ability and would be able to tell you what creatures and players with their levels that are within a certain radius of him. He would also be able to track the footprints of targeted players or creatures by using a smelling ability that would last for a certain amount of time. The simbakubwa would spawn in the desert biome. I think the simbakubwa was a fascinating animal and is well deserving of a place in ark.

Enfield is a Irish mythical creature, they're known for the bird like feathers covering some parts of its body, since Ragnarok is a mythological map, Enfield would be a good candidate. My concept: Enfield would be a small tame similar size to that of a Adolecent wolf, they wouldnt be rideable but they would be a scout tame, you can use them to run to certain creatures and bite a chunk off them, it could also run to artifacts in caves and steal them, then it could jump back to the player Example: You can send the Enfield to Bite a carbonemys, giving it some keratin and meat but not killing the Carbo

Creature Name: Thalassoleon (Prehistoric Sea Lion) Real-life Information: Thalassoleon is inspired by the prehistoric sea lions, which existed during the late Miocene to early Pliocene epochs, approximately 10 to 5 million years ago. These ancient sea lions were characterized by their robust bodies, elongated flippers, and adaptations for both land and water. They likely inhabited coastal areas and were skilled swimmers. Dossier: Wild: Thalassoleon magnus, known as the Thalassoleon, is a fearsome predator that dominates the coastal regions of Valguero. Resembling its prehistoric ancestors, Thalassoleon possesses a powerful and streamlined body, adapted for swift movement both in water and on land. Its elongated snout houses sharp teeth, designed to catch and tear through its prey. The Thalassoleon's agility in the water is unmatched, allowing it to effortlessly navigate the depths and pursue its aquatic prey. It is a versatile hunter, skilled in catching fish and other marine creatures. On land, it can move with surprising speed, allowing it to quickly ambush unsuspecting creatures that stray too close to the shoreline. Tamed: Once tamed, Thalassoleon becomes an invaluable companion for survivors. Its exceptional swimming abilities and adaptability make it an excellent mount for underwater exploration. Its powerful build enables it to carry heavy loads, making it ideal for transporting resources across water bodies. Thalassoleon's presence can intimidate other sea creatures, providing a protective aura for survivors during underwater expeditions. Additionally, its remarkable strength and ferocity make it a formidable combatant, capable of defending its owner against hostile forces both underwater and on land. Known Information: Thalassoleon has developed a specialized ability to emit a captivating aura that enhances the collection of pearls and other valuable resources. While nearby, survivors and their tames have an increased chance of finding pearls in the surrounding area. Thalassoleon possesses remarkable endurance and can withstand extended periods of time underwater. It can hold its breath for an impressive duration, allowing it to explore deeper and more dangerous underwater territories. Its sharp teeth and powerful bite make it a formidable predator, capable of taking down larger aquatic creatures. Survivors can utilize Thalassoleon's hunting prowess to secure food and defend against underwater threats. Thalassoleon is highly intelligent and trainable. With patience and care, survivors can develop a strong bond with their Thalassoleon, unlocking its full potential and loyalty. Thalassoleon's unique appearance, with its elongated snout and muscular physique, sets it apart from other marine creatures. Its prehistoric lineage adds an element of fascination and intrigue to those who encounter it. Abilities: Pearl Aura: Thalassoleon emits a captivating aura that enhances the collection of pearls and other valuable underwater resources. While nearby, survivors and their tames have an increased chance of finding pearls in the surrounding area. Aquatic Adaptation: Thalassoleon is perfectly adapted to the aquatic environment.

Once tamed, Thalassoleon becomes a faithful companion and a formidable asset in underwater adventures and territorial defense. While it requires careful attention and maintenance, the rewards of having a Thalassoleon by your side are immense. Survivors who invest time and effort into nurturing a Thalassoleon will gain a powerful ally capable of thriving in both the land and sea environments of Valguero. Danger Assessment: Encountering a wild Thalassoleon poses significant risks. Its size, strength, and predatory nature make it a formidable opponent in both water and on land. Survivors should exercise caution when approaching or engaging with a wild Thalassoleon, ensuring they are adequately prepared with suitable weaponry and defenses. However, the rewards of taming and harnessing the power of a Thalassoleon outweigh the risks. With proper training and management, survivors can unleash the creature's full potential and establish an unbreakable bond with this ancient and powerful prehistoric sea lion. Note: The above information is based on speculative details for gameplay purposes within ARK: Survival Evolved. While inspired by real-life creatures, certain aspects and abilities of the Thalassoleon have been modified or imagined to suit the context of the game.

Hippopotamus Gorgops is an extinct species of Hippopotamus that was around in the late Pliocene but went extinct in the middle Pleistocene. They were 14 feet long and almost 7 feet tall, With a weight of almost 10,000 pounds. Taming: Hippopotamus Gorgops can be found in rivers and lakes on Ragnarok, In small rare herds of 1-3 who are very aggressive, So you will need to pacify them with giant amounts of crops. If you don't and try to knock them out right away, They will enter an enraged state and charge at you with violent speeds. Gorgops need to have large amounts of crops so they can trust you, Then you can give them small doses of narcotics inbetween feedings of large crops, Then once knocked out they will passively tame, Digesting the food but it will take a long time. Abilities: They have very hard and durable skin and bones, As well as a bite that lets them grab and thrash creatures who stand in their way. They are also very agile in the water, Being able to glide on the riverbeds with ease, As well as swim with good speeds. They can harden their skin, Giving them a sort of armor plate on their back, While decreasing their damage and speed because of the energy lost. Attacks: Bite, Grab, and Stomp.

Macroeuphractus - The Giant Armadillo Wild Seeing a Giant Armadillo was not the first thing I thought I would see on this Ark, but lo and behold, Macroeuphractus. This courageous hypercarnivore not only sees through the Yutyrannus' fear roar but seems to become more excited to fight. These armadillo's love to ball up but this can become a hindrance as they do become tired after a while. Tamed Even though they are hunted for their bulletproof hides, many tribes attempt to tame the Macroeupractus. With its fast speed and love for punch above its weight class, Macroeupractus is often used to herd sauropods and other large creatures. Abilities Fear Resistance Immune to Yuty Fear Roar Immune to Rhygo Taunt Slow Resistance Cannot be slowed by other creature abilities Bullet Sponge Backside takes 80% less damage Head takes 50% less damage Meteor Rush The longer it runs the faster it goes (Only in ball form) Courageous Does more damage to creatures with higher drag weight Attacks M1 - Bite M2 - Ball Up C - Speed up Like Andrewsarchus X - Sniff Locates creatures with higher drag weight

The Eobasileus, meaning “horned dawn king”, was a large herbivorous mammal that lived during the Eocene period. A bizarre, superficially rhino-like animal, it had the features we’d associate with other groups of creatures. It had a large and stout rhino-like body, six knob-like ossicones on its head, and a pair of long saber-like fangs coming out of its mouth. These giants are often found grazing on Ragnaroks grasslands in small herds, however, they can be seen crashing through the forest in their search for food. Abilities: -Body slam attack: While the wooly rhino specializes in piercing its target, the eobasileus specializes in breaking through structures by slamming its body into them. This attack when given enough room to charge does massive damage to structures up to stone. When used against enemies this attack does damage and knocks back larger creatures and flat-out stuns smaller ones. This attack can be used to gather resources as well. -Saddle armor: The eobasileus has the option for two saddles. The normal which is unlocked at level 40, and one that can be unlocked at level 65. This higher tier saddle resembles medieval horse armor, and this armor provides much further resistance to damage from firearms and explosives. This armor notably makes the body slam attack do more damage. -Headbutt: A standard headbutt attack with its ossicones that does damage and knockback. -Carry weight: As a large, dense herbivore the eobasileus is able to carry large amounts of resources for long distances. -Living grinder: Utilizing its saberteeth and ossicones it is able to grind up materials when put in its inventory. Appearance: It’s up for debate whether the eobasileus had fur or not, but I think a mix of both could work well. It should still resemble the real animal, but possessing armor plated skin similar to an Indian rhino would add to its design. Regarding fur patterns, there’s paleo art that depicts it with fur resembling that of a bongo or okapi, so I believe that would be a great reference. I’ll leave examples of all in the images section. Taming method: Eobasileus are generally passive, but become aggressive when approached. When provoked they’ll charge at an aggressor, and this is what starts the taming process. Once locked onto the target they’ll start charging, and a survivor can lead them inadvertently crashing into rocks, walls, or trees. This leaves them temporarily dazed, allowing for a survivor to feed them their preferred food, superior kibble.

No way! That wombat is earthbending! Well… not quite, but it seems that the influence of element on Extinction have caused this Diprotodon to be able to move the earth just like your favourite Badgermoles from ATLA! Diprotodon would be the ultimate battlefield tactician and the perfect mount for dealing with an OSD! When I say earthbending wombat, I mean it! Diprotodon has the unique ability to throw up temporary walls, trap creatures and create protective suits of armour for its allies, all with the power of dirt! This would be invaluable in helping you keep the hordes of corrupted at bay, and keep your allies nice and healthy. Let’s dig into the concept! Table of Contents 1. Artwork 2. Dossier Text 3. Potential Base Stats and Spawning 4. Taming 5. Abilities and Controls - An Earthbending Wombat? - Controls - Saddle 6. Supplementary Links Dossier Text Common Name : Diprotodon Species : Diprotodon terraforma Time : Pleistocene Diet : Herbivore Temperament : Territorial Wild A giant relative of the wombat was too darn stubborn to keel over for the apocalypse? Yeah, that checks out. Diprotodon terraforma is a hulking marsupial that is commonly found in small herds, travelling across the wastelands to find enough plant matter to sustain their bulk. For most animals, the hordes of corrupted would make that kind of lifestyle impossible, but this behemoth quite literally fights dirty. Powerful forearms allow it to move enormous loads of soil with ease, and while this is impressive, it’d be a mere annoyance for the more dangerous members of the hivemind. Diprotodon isn’t just throwing sand though, its unique snot is what gives it the upper paw! Sounds disgusting, but its mucus is able to harden loose dirt into a form of organic concrete. With surprising finesse for its size, it shapes the earth into defensive walls, temporary suits of armour or even uses it as a way to entrap enemies! It’s amazing how life has adapted even in this desolate environment! Domesticated A small herd of these marsupials have proved highly effective in defending those orbital supply drops. Their natural defences against corrupted are invaluable in controlling crowds and ensuring their allies are well protected. We’ve found that fitting their saddles with shade cloths helps keep the foul weather of the wastelands at bay too! Potential Base Stats and Spawning Health: 900 Stamina: 300 Oxygen: 150 Food: 3000 Weight: 400 Melee Damage: See "Abilities and Controls" section for base damage values Torpidity: 650 Diprotodon would be found in small herds of around 5 members out in the wastelands, migrating to the Sanctuary and the desert dome to feed. Within these herds, there would be a mix of adult and young individuals, with young kept in the center to protect them from the dangers of a post-apocalyptic Earth. Hopefully the improved AI of ASA could make this herd dynamic possible! Taming With their very stubborn dispositions, it’s near impossible to tame an adult Diprotodon. Being hardened by endless hordes of corrupted, they treat anything foreign as a danger! However, in their tight knit herds, the babies tend to be much more friendly and inquisitive. It’ll be difficult to get past the wall that is their angry parents and relatives though… If you’re brave or foolish enough to sneak into the inner folds of the herd, simply passively feeding the babies Sweet Vegetable Cakes will cause them to follow you, and from there you can lead them away with even more sweet treats to have them join your tribe. Once you’ve raised up the giant pup you’ll have yourself a powerful war steed! Tamed Diprotodon eat berries like any other herbivore. No need to worry about a lavish and expensive diet! Abilities and Controls An Earthbending Wombat? So how exactly does this wombat earthbend? As mentioned in the dossier, it has to do with its snot! Element’s influence on its evolution means that its snot can harden dirt into a concrete-like material. But that’s just the flavour text, how does it work in game? Diprotodon has a dirt meter that is linked to its weight stat. Holding right click fills up this meter and pressing R cycles through three distinct abilities: Dirt Wall: Uses dirt to place temporary walls of dirt. Perfect for blocking off hordes of corrupted and drawing them into choke points. These walls can be destroyed by taking enough damage, or will disappear after a certain amount of time. Dirt Snare: Uses dirt to trap enemies in place, functioning much like how a netgun would Dirt Armour: Uses dirt to create temporary armour on allied tames that increases their damage reduction, but lowers speed significantly on targets smaller than the Diprotodon. Larger targets require more dirt to fully armour. A unique ability of the armour is that it reduces the effects of harmful elemental attacks (like fire damage and poison breath) by half! In terms of controls: Left Click: Bite. 40 Base Damage. Hits at a decent speed and harvests wood Right Click: Ground Slam. 55 base damage, good AOE, but slow Right Click (Hold): Refill dirt 😄 Use dirt ability. Different abilities have different dirt costs R: Cycle dirt ability In terms of saddle: Diprotodon’s saddle is fitted with a simple shade cloth/tent that prevents the player from suffering from the “Harsh Conditions” debuff. Mainly a way to not have to deal with annoying debuffs while fighting those hordes, but would also make Diprotodon a viable ground mount for those that like to stay in on the action. In addition, the saddle could function as a mobile feeding trough. Being almost like a mobile command tent and infirmary, keep your tames fed at range all from the comfort of your giant marsupial. Stock up the beast with veggie cakes to keep your herbivores fighting for longer!
