The Dracorex is a new Creature to be introduced in Ark Survival Ascended. This Creature is roughly the size of a Utahraptor and has unique skills and abilities unlike anything you’ve seen before, I have decided on the Dracorex as my Creature submission to add some more variety among the Dinos. We have only the 1 Pachycepholosaurid in ark and it’s pretty.. lacklustre, This new Beast and its taming method and abilities are in my opinion some of the Strangest and coolest that there is! Additionally, The Dracorex’s name means “Dragon king” what better nickname for a creature introduced in a fantasy map? Habitat: The Dracorex Can be found Both in and outside The Dragon Trench on Ragnarok, Either inside the trench itself, or around the outer area of the Dragon trench often appearing in pairs or by themselves. Diet: These Beast are Herbivores munching on any berrys and seeds. Temperament: Docile, they’ll chill out with you and won’t attack, unless provoked by attacking them, their friends or by stealing their eggs. Taming method: this is where the fun begins, and where the name, “Dragon king” starts to shine, to tame a Dracorex first you must find and isolate one from any other nearby Dracorex. Then. You must drop a Wyvern egg of any of the 4 Core elements Fire, Lightning, Poison, ice, The Dracorex will then Smash open the egg by ramming into it, Destroying the egg and absorbing the element of the dragon egg through its many horns on its face. The higher level the Egg is your Dracorex smashes the Higher its Taming bar will rise. Taming effectiveness is determined by how much Damage Your Dracorex has sustained, so keep it safe! Depending on what type of eggs you let it smash. and how many of them for example 6 poison Eggs and 2 fire eggs then your Dracorex will gain the “Poison Element” and Become a “Poison Dracorex”. With the powers of a poison Wyvern, it can blast Poison clouds from its horns. With the powers of a fire Wyvern, it basically becomes a living Flamethrower, with the powers of an Ice Wyvern it can Freeze Oppenents with a steam of cold air from its nostrils. And With the powers of a lightning Wyvern can shoot a stream of lighting from its horns. the basic idea of the Dracorex (Dragon king) is that it can basically mimic the powers of the dragons, but in a smaller and more compact body, making this Dino Really useful for base defence and cave Exploration and once tamed, you can let it smash any more Wyvern eggs by enabling “Egg smashing” in the Behaviour section, where it will smash any Wyvern egg in a nearby radius. Upon smashing say, 3 eggs of any element of your choosing it will change the Dracorexs element to match the eggs it has smashed, so your not locked into any 1 element once tamed. in terms of speed, the Dracorex can run roughly as fast as a Smilodon or Raptor, building up speed as it sprints, stamina barely drains as it sprints too, so it can easily go long Distances. Once you’ve reached top speed, you can use the Primary attack button to instantly destroy all obstacles in your path, Trees boulders you name it. The Dracorex is also able to use this Headbutt to deal major damage to Structures, it Can Damage up to metal grade, through it admittedly won’t take too much health out of metal structures. But anything Stone grade or below and your in for a bad (or good) time due to the Dracorex’s status of “Dragon king” it takes Half the amount of damage from All Wyvern/dragon attacks. (Including the Dragon boss) additionaly, when riding the Dracorex all wild Wyverns will ignore you unless provoked. The Dracorex also does Double Damage to all Wyverns, Rex’’s, Gigas and Charcaradontosaurus to solidify its place as “King” And you can ride around on the Dracorex without the need for a saddle. But you can Craft “Dracorex armour” from Wyvern bones. Which can be Harvested from dead wyverns. This Armour is bone Like in Appearance and Reduces all Damage from all creatures and players. but like Player Armour it has Durabilty and will need to be fixed with more dragon bones once Damaged or broken.The Dracorex also comes with “Recoil” effect, Similar to Kentrosaurus, where attacking it from the front will cause the spikes on its face to damage all those who make contact. Baby Dracorex will have the same element as their parents. If you breed a lighting Dracorex and a fire Dracorex, you’ll get a Fire/Lighting Dracorex. Which has both the powers of a Fire and Lighting Dracorex. With you being able to choose which elements you want to use while in the Radial Wheel either while riding the Dracorex or when just opening the Radial wheel when standing next to the Dracorex and looking at it. Please Consider this Herbivorous Powehouse to be added to ARK! We need more strong Herbivores and I think the Dracorex is Perfect for the job

ASK ME FIRST BEFORE USING MY ART IN OTHER MEDIA Udanoceratops is a massive and very ornery leptoceratopsid, surprisingly this animal surpasses it’s true ceratopsian cousins in both size and rage. Udano is a desert dwelling specialist able to eat and gorge on the cacti and tough vegetation however it’s bite is strong enough to crush boulders and not surprisingly the bones of anything that dares to challenge it. It’s physically quite dense and cannot swim however it can sprint and jump underwater similar to a hippopotamus. In the wild they inhabit deserts and mountainous regions, able to easily shrug off attacks from even rexes it’s comfortably at home in this inhospitable environment. Once tamed Udano is a vicious muscular tank that can shrug off many attacks, in addition it’s powerful bite is strong enough to breach even the most heavily armored vaults and bases. Being able to crunch through rock like a mining tool and reasonably crumple metal, a tribe with an Udano is a wealthy one. In addition some tribes have rigged powerful harpoon turrets to it’s backside, allowing it to be protected when boring through an enemy tribe’s base. Additionally it is excellent for shrugging off attacks from bio electric animals such as jellyfish and eels, having a thick impenetrable hide that resists unfortunate zapping. Overall Udanoceratops is a powerful and incredibly useful creature to have around and will help any tribe survive the harshest environments. Overview of Udanoceratops: -A powerful bite capable of breaking bones, rocks, and metal structures -A heavy body incapable of swimming but very capable of running underwater - Reduced attack damage from carnivores - A harpoon turret that can shoot both harpoons and nets at targets behind it -Ability to consume and subsist off of cactus -A thick hide which protects it from electrical attacks from jellyfish, eels, and lighting wyverns. Taming and other features: - Udanoceratops is tamed via cactus broth and a ghillie suit, Udano is aggressive towards players in the wild so be careful when trying to tame. -Udano can gather materials such as salt and sulfur with ease and has a weight reduction to both. -Udano deals full damage to Rock Elementals -Udano is too heavy to be picked up by wyverns and Quetzals but not by Rhyniognatha. Udanoceratops is one of my favorite animals and it definitely deserves a spot amongst the other fabulous creatures in Ark, it’s bizarre and incredibly unique and it’s just a big goober:) The artwork is an unfinished piece of these two giant brutes clashing done by me, it’s a lot of fun doing these votes and may the best vote win. One last thing I wanted to add was this spectacular Arkified Udanoceratops done by ArtSaturator, it’s some really fantastic work.
