Intro: Saichania is known as the "Beautiful one" and that title is well deserved. The saichania is a genus of herbivorous ankylosaurid dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous period of Mongolia and China. Saichania was more robustly built than other members of the Ankylosauridae, measuring 16–23 ft in length and 1.5–2.2 short tons in body mass. Its body was flat and low-slung, standing on four short legs. The forelimbs were very powerful. The head was protected by bulbous armour tiles. It could defend itself against predators like reapers. Wild: Saichanias are extremely territorial and are aggressive to whomever decides to approach them. If survivors wish to tame it, it's recommended that survivors approach the Saichania with ghillie armor. Taming: In order to get a Saichania, a survivor must come equipped with mushroom brew. Once the survivor is close enough, it must crouch and approach the beast and then initiate the taming mini game; In this mini game the survivor will grab on to the tail of the Saichania and time perfectly when to give it mushroom brew. If the survivor happens to not give the mushroom brew on time it will be slammed to the ground by the beast's destructive tail. Tamed: After swinging around on a Saichania's tail you will now find a very special creature in your arsenal: -It can dig and make a temporary house in case of need for shelter, where you can also deposit items and pick them up later. -Also Saichanias could potentially burrow through the cave walls and floors but survivors beware,this drains Saichanias stamina, making it vulnerable to whatever awaits on the other side. -It can locate underground threats such as purlovias,nameless,basilisks and more! -Helpful in raids due to its armor Saddle: The saddle could be some sort of metal hut, similar to the andrewsarcus and it's perfect for those who want to explore the depths or the surface of aberration. Personal thoughts: -Saichania would be slightly bigger than an Ankylosaurus and faster.(Speaking of Ankylosaurus, how is this not just a reskin?) Saichania will not have the ability to gather rocks but it will have the ability to run and break through them.(Helpful to clear space for bases) -Finally the Saichania should have a "depth buff" which increases both mele and stamina by 10% when facing off with a basilisk/reaper/karkinos due to the fact that it has evolved to deal with them. Commands: Right click: Tail swing (builds up torpor and stuns but does not gather) Left click: Head butt (gathers berries) C : Dig in X: Ground pound (makes a dust cloud that forces smaller enemies out of the ground whilst stunning them. Any small creature or human that is caught in this dust cloud will become slow and will be disoriented, making an easy meal for larger dinos)Effects last for 5-10 seconds. Space: Locates underground enemies Weakness: -Water -Net guns -Flying creatures -Rock Drakes
