Welcome survivors! Introducing to you, Aerosteon: The Phantom (ART DONE BY ZCI5250, known as crab, he´s great) (Also go vote for Zheny by TaronCapala!) Common Name: Aerosteon Species: Aerosteon Phantasma Time: Late Creatceous Diet: Carnivore Temperament: Aggressive Wild: Found in the incredibly dangerous Forbidden Zone, Aerosteon phantasma seems somewhat out of place among the rampant hordes of corrupted creatures. These large megaraptorids can be seen taking advantage of the vertical terrain to move around and will often try to avoid combat. I am guessing that the only reason these dinosaurs live here is that a small population was trapped here and forced to adapt. And adapt they did, to a bizarre extent. It seems that the corruption in an Aerosteon's body allows it to turn completely invisible for a certain amount of time! The only way to spot a camoflauged Aerosteon is to look for the purple mist that is emitted from its body, but the various hostile creatures of the region don't seem to have caught on to this fact. Domesticated: Tribes have found that by playing a sort of "hide and seek" game and feeding wild Aerosteon corrupted hearts, survivors can gain the Aerosteon´s trust. This ghostly theropod has several rows of long quills along its tail which are laced with neurotoxins that can induce blindness and auditory hallucinations in those affected. Hence, Aerosteon is usually used by tribes as a supporting mount in combat. I've also been told the quills can be harvested and mixed with corruption nodules to revert their effects, this can then be fed to unconscious creatures to give them sweet dreams and make them forget their precious trauma Abilities: Active abilities: Bite (, , ): A simple bite which does low damage but has fast attack speed, can be charged to do more damage by holding the button, when charged it plays a claw slice animation Phase (Click C, , ): The Aerosteon turns invisible at the cost of stamina, you can see a trail of mist left behind as it moves, this increases its movement speed but makes it unable to attack and it now takes 3x more damage Sensory Quills (, , ): It launches quills from the back of its tail laced in toxins, this quills blind the target and cause auditory hallucinations/deafness, also slows down creature, won´t slow player due to that being quite annoying Lunge (Press Space, , ): It lunges itself forward hitting creatures on a straight path, the creatures in its path will get the "Weakened" debuff, which denies any armor Climb: The Aerosteon is able to climb up walls the same way a Deinonychus would by leaping, if you press space will climbing the Aerosteon will drop down, if the “Mobility boost” is active you can lunge straight out of the cliffs onto enemies the same way a Thyla would Passive abilities: Carrion harvesting: Can harvest corrupt modules 2x more efficiently and every other resource 1.5x, he gets argy healing when eats corpses and corrupt nodules heal 20 health Pack Boost: A pack boost which can be obtained when up to 4 Aeros are together, works the same way as any other pack boost Harvest Reward: After harvesting 5 creatures your meter will fill up allowing you to choose 1 of 3 buffs -Damage buff: He gets faster attack speed and higher damage, and the effects of his attack last longer -Mobility boost: Gets more speed, and the lunge is able to go further, unlocks the ability to lunge while climbing like a Thyla -Health regen: Gets defense buff and regenerates a flat amount of health Taming Method: To tame the Aerosteon you must bring a corpse to it, once it eats it the taming process will begin, it will turn invisible you'll have to track it and interact with it, then it will turn back to normal and allow you to feed it corrupted hearts to gain affinity, then again it will turn invisible once more, rinse and repeat until tamed QoF Features and Uses: Quill Corrupted Meat: This bunch of meat is full of quill toxin and can be fed to sleeping dinos to reset their taming effectiveness or to tamed dinos to reset their levels (Only crafted in Aeros inventory) Craft: 350 corrupt nodules, 10 meat, 5 quills, 30 corrupt hearts PvP design and uses: This creature is designed to be a support mount, it can get into the head of combat of course, but the way you would want to use it is by keeping it in the side lines using the sensory quills against mounted creatures and survivors, while also using the lunge attack against soakers to be able to kill them more effectively by denying armor Aerosteon also works as a scouting mount, by using the phase ability and climbing ability you can spy on your enemies bases/fobs while they gear up, this also allows you to get into strategic places to give you a better fighting chance PvE design and uses: As for PvE this brings a general combat mount to the table but also some QoL changes such as the Quill Corrupted Meat which works to reset the taming effectiveness of creature bringing it up to a 100% instantly, done for those times where a stupid compy attacks your 150 knocked stego and then you have to wake it up again just to get the effectiveness up to 100%. Also works as a Mindwipe for tamed dinos since being able to repurpose creature would make life less tedious, no more breeding two argies for different purposes, now you can repurpose it once you don't need it for a specific thing anymore Also vote for Darwin and Hatze, they are EXTRA cool Image by LouisBio! Thank you Louis 🫂

sound blaster Guanlong the Quill rattling Magnet
Elrad posted a suggestion in Creature submission archive
Wild: The Guanlong is one of the most unique creatures on this island…and one of the most dangerous. You’ll hear them before you see em, with their calls booming across their territory thanks to special throat sacs. At night however….do not believe everything you hear….it could be a fellow tribemate…or a cunning tropical predator. They also seem to have a…magnetic personality. Domesticated: Guanlongs are a very rare and unusual breed, with an even more unusual ability. Earning the trust of the pack is crucial, so what’s the best way to do this? Well, it may surprise you, but these hunters…are all about games! My inspiration for the Guanlongs was from the floating islands of the center itself. I figured it might have something to with Magnets….So why not a creature that can not only mimic sound….but can blast Magnetic energy waves? Any suggestions are welcome…as well as telling/showing how to make a dossier on an IPad 😅 Guanlongs use the same energy that makes the island float as a weapon. They are able to attack and repel enemies and objects with a sonic blast from their mouths, as well as use this ability in battle, granting them agility. Their quills and feathers will raise, signaling they have detected enemy tribes- 6 replies

TL;DR: Medium sized carnivore / fungivore passive unless touched, secretes toxic threads on its teeth and on quills it can fling at targets, bite and quills inflict slowness while increasing the damage and torpidity a target takes, quills can immobilize small targets and slow larger ones. Also produces Narcotic substitute Toxic Threads, which spoil into Cottonlike Threads used to repair armor and create backup armor that is automatically equipped when armor breaks. Dossier Transcription Common Name: Qianzhou Species: Qianzhousaurus radiorumtextor Time: Late Cretaceous Diet: Carnivore / Fungivore Temperament: Aggressive (when touched) Wild A species of Tyrannosaurid once only considered peculiar due to its abnormally elongated head, the Qianzhousaurus radiorumtextor appears to have taken its peculiarities to an entirely new level. Most commonly found where mushrooms grow in abundance, though the Qianzhou has been observed hunting many kinds of prey less than half the size of a person, it is in fact mostly fungivorous and will usually ignore anyone within its vicinity. Unless touched, which seems to send it into an instantaneously aggressive state. The Qianzhou oddly secretes a kind of toxin coated thread from each of its many teeth and quills, that upon entering a victim’s bloodstream slows muscles while causing considerable susceptibility to injury alongside amplifying the effects of sedatives. This same thread is also present secreted around the tips of the prominent long quills intermixed amongst the feathers at the end of its tail, that the Qianzhou can fling towards adversaries to pin smaller creatures including humans while hindering larger creatures that are hit by the quills. Domesticated Some individuals who dwell near significant fungi concentrations have somehow managed to domesticate these otherwise touch intolerant creatures to such extents to saddle and ride them, claiming the Qianzhou approached them whilst they ate mushrooms in a kind of curious jealousy, then gained its trust with enough care not to touch it while feeding it a variety of fungi. A domesticated Qianzhou offers a versatile array of functions with its unique secreted thread foremost amongst them, able to be used at both range using its quills or intermixed within its bite. Interestingly it appears the Qianzhou’s thread eventually dries into a toxin devoid substance similar to threads of cotton, that I have observed some survivors create protective inner clothing from that provides both additional physical protection and protection from various poisons, venoms and toxins. Abilities List Primary Attack (Left Mouse): A wide sweeping sideways angled bite that damages a wide area in front of the Qianzhou. Causes the “Qianzhou Toxin” debuff for multiple seconds, increasing incoming damage and torpidity inflicted whilst also inflicting slowness. Secondary Attack (Right Mouse): A tailsweep that launches a few large quills off the tail forwards towards a target, which entirely immobilizes all creatures with a drag weight low enough to be carried by a Karkinos for a certain number of seconds, while significantly slowing larger creatures for a shorter amount of time. Also causes the “Qianzhou Toxin” debuff. (C Key): A shoulder slam with significant knockback, useful for distancing attackers to use the ranged attack, but highly dangerous to survivors especially during the taming process due to the risk of being pushed into other threats. (X Key): A 360 degree spin releasing a quill in every direction, each quill causes damage and might cause the “Qianzhou Toxin” debuff, but only immobilizes creatures with a drag weight low enough to be carried by a Megalosaurus. Passive Utility: Produces “Toxic Thread” within its inventory over time that can be used as a substitute for Narcotic or as a new intermediate between it and Bio Toxin. When Toxic Thread spoils it turns into “Cottonlike Thread” which doesn't spoil and can be used to create the “Cottonlike” set of backup armor. Cottonlike Thread can also either repair any armor to 50% durability within the Qianzhou’s inventory, or be used as a substitute for Hide. Taming A specific passive tame that leaves the survivor rather vulnerable during the process and requires no shortage of attention. Specifically the process entails crouching and eating a mushroom nearby a Qianzhou, causing it to jealousy approach and stare at the survivor as it leans down to look at them directly with a feed prompt appearing as it does. When fed the Qianzhou will randomly do one of three possible actions: -It will stand straight to eat, then lean downwards again allowing another mushroom to be immediately fed. -It will stand straight to eat then swiftly turn around, causing the survivor to either have to quickly crawl to avoid its tail or to suddenly move out of the way. If the survivor doesn’t move, the tail hits them and makes the Qianzhou become aggressive. -It will stand straight to eat, then after a specific delay will lean down to nip the survivor despite not becoming aggressive. If the survivor doesn’t move, all of the mushrooms in their inventory are taken. One random piece of armor is also unequipped (added to inventory or thrown forward, not deleted.) It will then turn around and walk away. All types of mushrooms can be used as regular taming food, with Mushroom Brew being akin to kibble. Alternatively, a randomized mushroom could be required at each feeding interval further adding to the vulnerability of the survivor during the process, as they would have to open their inventory to equip the applicable mushroom each time. Cottonlike Backup Armor Function: Unlike regular armor the Cottonlike set functions as backup armor that is instantly equipped when armor breaks or is removed, giving a survivor a better chance at not dying when their armor is broken or during the process of repairing their armor. Setup: When selected each piece of the Cottonlike set has a new action called “activate”, which when toggled causes the activated backup armor piece to automatically replace armor instantaneously when it is broken or removed. Only one piece for each armor slot can be activated at the same time. Details: The Cottonlike set consists of simple entirely cotton clothing created from Cottonlike Thread within a Qianzhou’s inventory or elsewhere, it having very high durability but protection between cloth and hide armor. Though has the added bonus of reducing incoming torpidity damage from poison-like sources (what Riot armor doesn’t protect against), and when activated has its armor values applied in addition to whatever armor is being worn. Cottonlike Backup Armor Visuals: Conclusion Thank you for viewing. Here is a link to the Qianzhousaurus Wikipedia page if you are curious for more information regarding it.
