It would be able to harvest meat, chitin, keratin, meat, hide, and berries. 1 man saddle. Dossier: Desmatosuchus Paluslacus Temperament reactive Time period Triassic Diet omnivore Wild: While most reptiles that thrive in ark swamps are aggressive, desmatosuchus seems to be an exception. These burly reptiles roam the swamp in search of something edible. It seems that few species eat them, as these animals are covered with armor and spikes from head to toe. However, the most interesting is their active camouflage, which consists in covering with dirt and moss. They seem to stimulate this growth by giving the plants and moss on the back nutrients directly from their bodies. This leads to anything that desmas actually notices to leave them alone, however, if something tries to attack this normally calm aetosaurus, it may become enraged before entering an extremely docile state. Domesticated: While very few tribes have managed to tame this beast, those who have found an incredibly useful companion for both war and simple survival. Due to the fact that most species lead a sedentary lifestyle, desmatosuchus is unique in that it can grow types of plants on its back. However, most edible plants seem to grow poorly, leading most survivors to grow endemic plant species x, y, and even z. However, these plants seem to make desmatosuchus hungrier and hungrier. Even their spiky tails seem to help plant growth by scaring away insects and birds. Abilities: Left mouse click - Medium Bite attack Right-click - Swipe with the tail, which deals more damage, but has more cool down Attack C-plant attacks. For Species X, he turns on their tower mode and exhausts his hunger with each shot. For Plant species Y desmatosuchus will drop 4 plant species y traps around itself, which will have cool down during which desma hunger sharply depleted. Finally, for plant species Z, desmatosuchus will blow up all the fruits of Plant Z at once and produce a powerful flash that will blind the creature for a considerable period of time and similarly have a long recovery period during which hunger is rapidly depleted, as Plant species Y. Taming: Unlike most ark creatures, Desmatosuchus seems to be resistant to tranquilizers while on guard, and it's almost impossible to knock them out when they are alert. The way to get around this is to attack Desmatosuchus until he goes into a defensive rage. Having survived this Rage, desmatosuchus will get tired and will be vulnerable to tranquilizers that allow you to tame it by knockout. The higher the level, the more damage is required to the transition to a state of rage and the longer it lasts. Cultivation of plant species: To grow plants on its back and sides, seeds are first required. After placing these seeds in the inventory, the plants will grow, and the hunger of the desmatosuchus will be depleted a little faster than usual. After about half the normal growth time, the plants will be fully grown and ready for use. None of these processes require fertilizers or water, as the plants get both from the croc. After the plants are fully grown, desma's hunger will always be depleted a little more than usual, but it will still be smaller when the plants were growing. The plants would visually be smaller and visually represent the stages of their growth, and would also be around the lateral thorns of the desma. Various: - Desmatosuchus would be about the of a roll rat. - The saddle would be placed in the middle area of the armor with the saddle attached to the two longest spikes on its back. - it would have a health score similar to allo's, but would have a large damage reduction due to his armor. - It would be quite slow and would have a large turning radius. - It will also have a pretty good carrying capacity - it would have high hunger with the usually slow exhaustion of hunger. - He could do a little above average damage - Finally, it won't have oxygen stats .
