This gargantuan freshwater fish may be one of the last creatures one would expect to find in these lands devoid of a large water body, but Rhizodus is equipped with more than enough tools to thrive in its shallow rivers. If you or your tames happen to get splashed with water from seemingly nowhere, I recommend you steer clear of any nearby water bodies, as it may be a Rhizodus attempting to lure you towards it or deter you from its territory. These creatures can fire water from its mouth with varying power for both hunting and self defense. If you ever happen to be ambushed by a Rhizodus, your best bet is to fight it off. Those who’ve thought simply retreating to land would save them may not have not been so lucky… DOMESTICATED Don't let the appearance of this creature fool you. Despite being a fish, a tamed Rhizodus is more than capable of providing use as a tame despite the lack of large water bodies present on Aberration. Capable of remaining on land for extended periods of time, Rhizodus makes for a unique and flashy travel mount, as it slides across land at surprising speeds, especially downhill. Its ability to store and shoot water can distract, attack, and intimidate wild and tamed aggressors alike. Introducing Rhizodus Real-world Animal Rhizodus was a giant predatory lobe-finned fish that lived during the Early Carboniferous period. Rhizodus was the world's largest freshwater fish, with size estimates reaching up to 5.6 meters (18'6ft) long, similar in size to a Great White Shark. Rhizodus reconstruction by Mario Lanzas Design & Ability Inspiration Rhizodus's design takes inspiration from Mudskippers (Pectoral Fin and Dorsal Fin) and Catfish (Whiskers) Rhizodus's water projectile attacks take inspiration from Archerfish Rhizodus's Amphibious traits take inspiration from Mudskippers and Lungfish Abilities & Attributes Basics/Stats Tamable Rideable Breedable 😳 Passively Tamed Rhizodus Saddle - Lvl 53 engram, has 1 passenger seat Rider Weaponry Enabled Drops Raw Fish Meat, Prime Fish Meat, Hide, Keratin Health: 600 Stamina: 350 Oxygen: Infinite Moisture: 1500 Weight: 550 Melee: 38 (at 100%) Drag Weight: 250 Land Movement & Moisture Stat Rhizodus would be the first fish capable of going on land, without dying instantly (cough cough Manta), using a unique moisture stat to stay alive on land. This moisture stat acts like the Oxygen stat, but instead depletes when Rhizodus is not touching water. Rhizodus does not need to be fully submerged to replenish Moisture, but it will replenish faster if Rhizodus is fully submerged. Moisture can also replenish by giving Rhizodus water-storing items (Water Jar, Canteen, etc). Water Storage & Projectile Attacks Rhizodus can store water to utilize for projectile attacks both underwater and on land. How much water Rhizodus can store is dependent on its weight stat, but stored water will not weigh Rhizodus down. Rhizodus has 3 water projectile attacks: Distraction Shot - Deals no damage. Used to aggro creatures from a distance, and even works on passive or skittish creatures. Less aggressive creatures will require you to shoot them more. Uses a small amount of water. Pressurized Shot - High speed shot that deals moderate damage and scales with the Melee stat. Disables cloaking, climbing, and flying on the target for a small time period. Uses a moderate amount of water. Water Vomit - A last-resort survival tool. Scares away enemies and replenishes moisture for all nearby Rhizodus. Uses a large amount of water. A setting to automatically Water Vomit with the available water and nearby targets when under 10% health can be enabled through the radial menu. Lunge Attack If Rhizodus is submerged in water, it can charge up a powerful Lunge attack. Hold the Lunge attack input to charge up, then let go for a massive speed boost that deals heavy damage to the target. This can also send Rhizodus flying out of the water, which may come in hand when traveling vertically. Slope-based Sliding Momentum Similar to a Maewing, Rhizodus will slide down hills much faster than its standard slide speed. The steeper the slope, the faster you go. With the right travel routes, Rhizodus can make for an excellent fast-travel mount using this mechanic. Rhizodus Roe Rhizodus Roe (eggs) are sought after by creatures and survivors alike for their taste and nutritional effects. Rhizodus Roe can be obtained from wild female Rhizodus by knocking them out. You can also leave a female Rhizodus submerged in water, and it will slowly produce the roe, carrying it in its mouth. Rhizodus Roe can be used as a kibble alternative for piscivores, but is also a viable egg for making Extraordinary Kibble. Taming To tame Rhizodus, place its preferred foods in the inventory of you or a creature. Sacrifice them to a Rhizodus. It will slowly eat the food overtime while leaving any other items behind. Simple and straightforward, solidifying Rhizodus's role as a mid-game all rounder mount.

Psittacosaurus, the echolocatiting combat pet
Reaverking posted a suggestion in Creature submission archive
Introducing Psittacosaurus! The newest shoulder pet on aberration Name: Psittacosaurus Petramiculator Time: Early Cretaceous Diet: Herbivore Temperament: Neutral Wild In the wild , Psittacosaurus can be seen roaming in small groups or alone. Although small, most predators seem to leave them alone. And I know why, they aren’t afraid to use their quills. I’ve seen raptors get a mouthful of quills during an attack on these little guys. Domesticated Due to the quills and attitude towards predators , I thought psittacosaurus couldn’t be tamed. Then I learned that some survivors have trained them to spit rocks at their enemies. Rock spitting isn't the only thing they’re good for. The quills glow and can be used to keep enemies away. What’s even more fascinating is their ability to echolocate, which allows them to find food and those same rocks. Some survivors use it to find other resources as well.-
