-- Arizonasaurus Atrox -- -- The Wasteland Living Generator -- -- Dossier -- Common Name: Arizonasaurus Species: Arizonasaurus Atrox Time: Mid Triassic Diet: Carnivore Temperament: Aggressive Wild "Using it´s sail to convert solar rays into electricity, Arizonasaurus Atrox truly made the wastelands they home, thanks to their electrocuting skill and necrotizing saliva, result of a element-based diet." "These creatures seems to be fearless against the corrupted, walking carefree through hordes. I belive that somehow they can mimic the corrupted using their electric charges, but this usage requires the Arizonasaurus to rest regularly." Domesticated "Some survivors say Arizonasaurus Atrox are great substitutes for eletrical generators. With the right saddle, the electricity created by this creature can be used to power an whole base." "If you brave enough to try to earn this beast´s trust, I recommend approching while it´s resting with a nice offering in hands. They´re always looking for the carcasses of the corrupted." -- In The Wilds -- The Arizonasaurus can be found in the wastelands, traveling in small groups, hunting, and resting. You definitely don´t want to face one these whitout a good mount, if this creature sees you, it will sprint to you in an instant, ready to show you it´s abilities. You better pray its just one instead of the whole pack. Note: Even living in small groups, they would not have a "pack buff". Bite Sprint: Normally it´s first action after seeing a potential prey, an attack that consists in sprinting to it´s victim ready to give a powerful bite, infecting the prey with the Arizonasaurus necrotizing saliva. Necrotizing Saliva: A temporary debuff that occurs when something is bitten by an Arizonasaurus, draining it´s health and stamina. Electrocution: It´s second action after starting a fight, an attack that stuns you (and other creatures) for some seconds, not to mention the damage. When a Arizonaurus does it it´s sail will glow in a white light. Slashing and Bitting: It´s most basic action, an fast attack that vary between slashing and bitting (everytime it´s bite you, you will be infected with the necrotizing saliva debuff). By observing these beasts in nature, you can notice they never let an corrupted carcass pass, and everytime they feed on it these creatures gain a buff (just like the Argentavis). This happens cuz the element on these carcass will serve as fuel for their "disguise", mimicing the corrupted and avoinding trouble. Note: When "disguised", it´s sail patterns will glow purple. The Arizonasaurus are normally aggressive, but during it´s "resting state" this creature will not attack you, unless if do it first or touches them. This dino rest sitting on the ground, just like modern camels, they do this when they need to recharge their electrical energy, using it´s sail as a solar plate, converting solar rays into their electricity. -- Tamed -- To tame these animals you just needs to approach while it´s resting with a corrupted carcass in hands (bigger carcass = faster taming). After givint it the carcass, you´ll have some seconds to leave after it aggros you, but as the taming pergentage goes up, the less aggressive it will become, and this would be noticeable in the animal´s body language, going from growling and showing their teeth, to a more curious and calm posture (no needing to wait till it rest again). Once tamed, the Arizonasaurus can not just camouflage you from the corrupted, but also replacing your base´s electrical generator. Camouflage Against The Corrupted: When travelling through the broken deserts of the Earth, you shall feed your Arizonasaurus with corrupted nodules, this will be the fuel for it´s "desguise", the more you feed the more brighter it´s sail will become (second by second the sail will slowy coming back to it´s regular colors) , but pay attention to it´s belly and throat, since large amounts of corrupted nodules in their stomach can lead your creature to throw it all up, losing it´s whole camouflage in seconds. Living Eletrical Generator: With it´s saddle, you can use the Arizonasaurus electricity to power up your base (probably the same range or slightly bigger than the feeding trough). The saddle would have two power boxes/repeaters on which sides, what would lead to the operation of that system. You will also need to put your Arizonasaurus on "generator mode", this will result on it to be releasing small electrical charges that will be redistributed by the power boxes/repeaters to your electronics, this mode will also let your dino on a "passive defense state", every dino that attacks your Arizonasaurus will take damage by electrocution, which can cause the attacker to faint or even dying. Cooking Pot: When you feed your Arizonasaurus with large ammounts of corrupted nodules, it´s throath and bely will grow and glow with a slightly purple light, that means your creature is about to throw up, but also means that your dino is ready to give you some recipes, you only need to activate the "generator mode". The chemical reaction of their electricity with the conflict between it´s gastrical fluid and the alien nature of the corrupted nodules will allow you to make two exclusive recipes: Arizona´s Broth and the Camouflaged Warrior. Arizona´s Broth: An slighty safe way to experience the endless hunger of the corrupted, (almost) every carnivore hunter that drink this broth will gain a temporary buff, increasing it´s damage, resistance and stamina, but on the other hand it will drain the food of your dino, causing it to need to eat more than usual (humans can also drink that broth gaining the same buff). This can also be very useful to drain the food of your knock out tames, speeding up the tame. Recipe: Empty Water jar + an ammount of prime meat + bunch of rare flowers + bunch of stimberries. Camouflaged Warrior: The Arizonasarus "disguise" only works for itselt, this means that you and your dinos are still vulnerable, but this repice can make you and some of your tames experience that by yourselves, giving you an temporary camouflage againt the corrupted. Recipe: Empty Water jar + an ammout of spoiled meat + bunch of rare mushrooms + narcotics Only humans and some creatures (mostly herbivores, early-mid game dinos and platform-saddleds animals) can gain this "buff". When tamed, your Arizonasaurus will still have the same abilities just like a wild one. Bitting and Slashing as it´s primary attack Necrotizing Saliva that can infect any creature that comes to get bitten (temporary debuff, draining health and stamina) Electrocution as it´s secondary attack, stuning and damaging it´s enemies (the exagerate usage of this attack will lead your arizonasaurus to run out of electricity and it will need to rest, so it will be able to use it´s electrical abilities again) Sprinting, it´s third and most powerful attack And a fourth movement, an slow but powerful bite (not as powerful as the sprinting one), this bite is more applied to farm the skin of dead dinos, ignoring the meat and focusing on hide, chitin, keratin, and even corrupted nodules and scrap metal if we´re talking about corrupted and TEK dinos. -- Thank You for Reading! -- More arts soon!
