The L O N G N E C C boi. Name: Mamenchisaurus hochuanensis This guy is a sauropod with an incredibly long neck. Its Diplo-like body is smaller than the Bronto's, but its absurdly long neck makes it taller. It would have an HP pool at around 1,850 at level 1. Wild: Mamenchisaurus can usually be found in places where their tall necks can be useful for feeding on new needle growth on tall coniferous trees. They are usually docile if approached, however, if attacked, they will either lash out at you with their tail, which will knock you back but leave you almost unharmed due to the low damage of this particular attack, or perform a Mammoth- or Paraceratherium-like stomp attack which will do very little to knock you back, but deal a considerable amount of damage. Also, interestingly, if you pass by its head high above the ground, like while riding a flying tame, the creature will look at you, confused (giving you an easy first headshot). Taming: It's your average knockout tame, but being a sauropod, it wont go down without a fight. It will aggro you for an extended period of time and has a large amount of torpor. Unlike its cousins, the Bronto and Diplo, It does have a headshot multiplier. Since the head is located so far in the sky, it is safe to say that it would be rather hard to hit consistently. Once brought down, it takes crops and berries like any other herbivore would. Its preferred kibble is Superior Kibble. Domesticated: Its large size allows for a regular saddle and platform saddle. Both of these saddles support two seats- yes, a two-seated platform saddle. The normal saddle has room for two people- one on the back controlling the movement, and another situated on the head, controlling head movement (up, down, left, right). This seat allows for a large range of motion that can help take aim at hard-to-hit creatures or opponents. If laid forward, it can create a bridge that can allow for crossing large gaps in terrain, up cliff sides, or depositing raiders over walls in a siege. This unique platform saddle, like the normal one, has two seperate platforms, controlled similarly to the normal saddle. The platform on its back is nothing special, being the same size as a Paracer platform. However, it appears to possess the necessary neck strength and musculature to support a second, smaller platform on its head, big enough to fit a single foundation on it. Due to the fact that its head movements can be controlled independently, structures and emplacements like cannons can be aimed to fire accurately in almost any direction. This is a blessing for raiders, who can simply aim the head down from over a protective barrier and fire away at the hapless structures and tames within with impunity. There is also a ladder placed on the back of the neck connecting the two platforms for convenience. Building downwards from the platform is a useful strategy too, protecting the vulnerable head from attack and making it look like your Dino has a gleaming helmet of their own! However, structures placed on the head have increased weight due to the strain it puts on its neck.

Sauropelta: Many thanks to Aeleoart for the concept art
SlyCapybara posted a suggestion in Creature Submissions
A mid-sized territorial herbivore that wallows mainly in the swamps and sometimes rivers. The swamps lack any sort of defensive herbivore barring the paraceratherium leaving a vacant niche for this sort of creature. Being native to the swamp it has an affinity for gathering rare mushrooms and flowers as well as a resistance to leeches. We also don’t have much in the way for herbivorous semi-aquatic creatures. It wouldn’t be a particularly fast swimmer but it makes up for this with a larger carry weight than sarcos, barys and capros. Ecologically it fills a similar niche to hippos, guarding their waters and killing crocodiles. It’s platform saddle and high carry weight makes it useful for being able to craft large amounts of narcotics and forging metal on the go making it good for mid game farming and an excellent addition to any caravan. Its unique ability would be to to set it in “basking mode” causing it to lay down, becoming stationary. Basking mode can only be enabled during the day. During this state it would be soaking up the sun and gain a buff that causes it to heal faster, increases its movement speed, attack speed and slows stamina drain. It can store this energy to activate the buff when needed or the energy can be used to replace a generator, making this creature a living solar powered generator. They could also have damage recoil when attacking from the front and a herd buff which would be a good opportunity to introduce the first herbivorous ‘pack alpha’. As far as attacks it would likely have a standard bite, a front stomp and a shoulder check rather than a tail attack. The combination of scuted and blubber (from it being a hippo stand in) could allow it to take reduced damage giving it interesting soaking potential with the healing buff.

Stryder counting as 20 towards tame limit solution
SKULLxQAQxSKULL posted a suggestion in Game Suggestions
I want to say I love the stryder and I think it's a great tame but I do not think that It should be limited to this extent that you can only have 25 and no other tames. And I think it's more limited simply bc it has a bed and maybe bc of the transmitter, so to fix that I suggest giving players the option to disable them through the creature options wheel. Meaning that while they are off they cannot be accessed in any way through either inventory or laying down on the bed and potentially even disappearing from the saddle visually completely. By doing this in exchange for the loss of function the stryder counts only as a single tame. Further I would suggest when tamed they begin like this so as to not cause other dinos in the tribe to become unclaimed if the tribe is near tame cap. If players want to have the bed and transmitter back they only have to go into the stryders tool wheel and re enable them. Enabling or building on the saddle would cause the stryder to again count as 20 tames. Potentially if the devs feel like this isn't enough to reduce the stryders tame count to 1 I would suggest adding a timer so that a player would have to wait a certain amount of time before they could re enable the bed and transmitter. -

Common Name: Brontosaurus Species: Brontosaurus lazarus Time: Late Cretaceous Diet: Herbivore Temperament: Docile Wild: Among the largest creatures I've seen on the island, Brontosaurus lazarus is larger than any sauropod I've read about. In fact, the dinosaur is so massive that it ignores most other creatures. I've seen a pack of Raptors tear apart smaller Dinosaurs while Brontosaurus continues eating, seemingly oblivious to the hunting pack. The Brontosaurus is extremely protective of its eggs and will attack if provoked. However, some may think this is an Apatosaurus, Dreadnoughtus, Argentinosaurus, or other sauropod - but this is a strange island and I'm the one doing the research. I'm convinced that this genus is Brontosaurus and no one can tell me otherwise. My study, my rules. Domesticated: Because of how docile it is, Brontosaurus makes the ideal pack-animal. Peaceful tribes use it to carry incredible quantities of resources, while warring tribes use it to mobilize their army. Unfortunately, its enormity means that most attempts to tame Brontosaurs can take longer than almost any other creature on the island. -

Common Name: Quetzal Species: Quetzalcoatlus conchapicem Time: Late Cretaceous Period Diet: Carnivore Temperament: Skittish Wild: Quetzalcoatlus is one of the largest avians on the island. It shares a similar silhouette with the Pteranodon, and nests near the absolute highest peaks. Upon closer inspection, though, Quetzalcoatlus is an enormous creature of tremendous power. I find it strange that such a large, imposing beast would be so skittish. Unlike other creatures of its size, it is more likely to flee than fight. I suppose the decision to flee from any trouble keeps the species alive on an island with so many dangerous predators. But then how does it eat enough to sustain its massive size? Domesticated: Tamed Quetzalcoatlus have a very specific role on the island. Too slow to be an efficient local transport, and too weak to be an effective warbird, the tribes I have encountered tend to employ it as a mass carrier.Quetzalcoatlus is primarily used by these masters of the skies to safely carry vast quantities of supplies, creatures and human cargo from one base to another without tiring. -

Common Name: Plesiosaur Species: Elasmosaurus remuspissa Time: Late Cretaceous Diet: Carnivore Temperament: Docile Wild: Elasmosaurus remuspissa has a strange role in the oceanic food chain. It almost exclusively hunts the smaller creatures in the waters, leaving most even moderately large creatures (such as humans) alone. The sheer size of theElasmosaurus means that the quantity of creatures it must eat to sustain itself is nothing short of enormous. Despite its imposing size, Elasmosaurus still has natural predators. Well, a natural predator: the Megalodon. Apart from that monstrous creature, I myself have only ever seen two creatures bring down an Elasmosaurus: a Spinosaurus that found its way into the deeps (not common), and humans. Though I will admit, I have yet to fully explore the staggering deep underwater caverns surrounding the island. Domesticated: Much like the Brontosaurus on land, Elasmosaurus is an excellent way to transport large quantities of goods over water. These powerful creatures are in fact so large that they can be used as mobile water bases. Ambitious tribes sometimes build bunkers right onto the backs of Elasmosaurus instead of building cargo ships. -

Common Name: Mosasaurus Species: Mosasaurus suspirita Time: Late Cretaceous Diet: Carnivore Temperament: Aggressive Wild: Until recently, I believed the Ultramegalodon to be the greatest of the ocean predators. Then I discovered Mosasaurus suspirita in the deeps. Not quite as fast, but much larger and stronger, the Mosasaurus rules the deep waters off the island. Growing up to 50 feet long, Mosasaurus is larger than almost every other aquatic creature I've encountered thus far. Contrary to common belief, Mosasaurus cannot breathe underwater. Rather, it can hold its breath an incredibly long period of time, similar to a whale. Mosasaurus is a deep-sea marine lizard, not a fish. It spends most of its time in the deeps, and only comes up to surface to breathe, or chase prey with an engulfing chomp. Domesticated: Despite its power, Mosasaurus is not ideal for all deep-water activities. Its slower swim speed makes the risk of drowning much higher when using Tylosaurus to reach oil deposits or silica pearls. Having one with you as an escort, on the other hand, is probably the best oceanic defense available! -

Common Name: Paracer Species: Paraceratherium gigamicus Time: Oligocene Diet: Herbivore Temperament: Docile Wild: Paraceratherium Gigamicus is a massive, long-necked mammal that inhabits some of the island's grasslands. It resembles a gigantic horse/rhinoceros hybrid, but is over twice the size of either. Paraceratherium is a very peaceful and friendly herbivore, and doesn't even seem to mind other creatures near its nest. Barring some... surprise... yet in store for me, I can safely say that the Paracerathrium is the largest mammal on the island. While its size means that the Paraceratherium can provide an incredible amount of food, it also makes it dangerous when hunted. Domesticated: A beast of burden second to the Brontosaurus, Paraceratherium is an excellent worker. It is a naturally friendly animal, and is not afraid of humans. However despite its normally calm demeanor, when it or its owner is provoked by aggression, the Paraceratherium can quickly become a real threat to the attacker and will use its girth to its advantage in combat.
