Species: Deinosuchus Sanguineus Temperament:Aggressive Diet: Carnivore mainly prefers mammals Tamable: yes Dossier The Deinosuchus Sanguineus is no doubt the biggest Caiman to ever exist and far exceeding the size of the Spino and Sarcosuchus hosting the strongest bite force on ark. This creature is so big it can quite literally drown any creature on par or smaller than a trike's size. And has one of the most deadly sets of chompers this ark has seen. But do to its size the creature prefers to push itself across the seafloor at alarmingly fast speeds and is extremely agile. Wild Behavior The is known as a stealth predator but unlike a normal sarco this massive reptile prefers on feeding on bigger prey and has developed a behavior that compensates for its massive size, Burying in the sand allowing it to not be bothered bye swifter creatures lurking to interrupt it's basking habits. Deinosuchus is usually seen basking near large bodies of water but don't be mistaken by this seemingly passive behavior because this creature is extremely territorial instantly sensing anything that is seeking safe passage through it's claimed territory will quickly fall victim to 1 of 3 things, none being better than the rest. 1. Insinuating you as a threat to its territory it will charge up a bite that is strong enough to critically slow its trespasser allowing the croc to put them to a swift end to the creature. 2. Latching on to the trespassing mammal with its massive jaws inflicting bleed and 5 percent of max health every failed attempt to struggle free. 3. If the creature is smaller than a stego the Deinosuchus will be able to drag the creature underneath the water depleting 15 percent oxygen every 3 seconds essentially drowning its prey.. Taming technique When the massive Caiman is basking you will have to approach it with great caution wearing a full suit of Ghillie armor. Similar to a Carcha you will have to feed it dead creatures BUT ONLY MAMMALS. This will trigger a mini game like crocodile wrestling allowing you to gain taming effectiveness. This can only happen during the day though because at night their mouths are completely shut unless they are planning to make you there next meal. Tamed behavior When tamed the Deinosuchus will allow you to diverse the ark waters like never before allowing you to safely explore the seabeds like never before with great speed. Still boasting vital fire power and an essential but slower swimming alternative faster than Spinos but slower than a Sarco's swimming speeds. Also being able to compete or even surpass arks biggest damage dealers. Abilities Enhanced Pallesthesia- this creature will have the ability to sense any and all vibrations in water. Bone Break/Shallow sand burying - These massive reptiles will be able to hide in shallow water nearly completely burying themselves in the sand so when someone is foolish enough to go for a drink of water the Deinosuchus will deliver a severe bite nearly completely crippling it's preys ability to move sealing it's victims fate. Streamline- essentially allowing the creature to become more powerful after hitting water similar to a Spino. Basking - The Deinosuchus will heal and regain stamina faster but comes at the consequence of being more susceptible to incoming damage while doing this.(Also a survivor brave enough to take advantage of the unsuspecting croc 😉)This ability is also essential to the taming process. Charged Bite- Allows for the creature to charge up a bite variation in damage the longer the attack is held Death roll with Variations!!- 1 Latching on to larger Dinosaurs with its massive jaws inflicting bleed and 5 percent of max health every failed attempt to struggle free. 2 If the creature is smaller than a stego the Deinosuchus will be able to drag the creature underneath the water depleting 15 percent oxygen every 3 seconds essentially drowning its prey.. Hippo Walk toggle- (Unlike the Sarcosuchus only being able to swim fast in open water the much larger Deinosuchus takes a much different approach.) When tamed this massive reptile can swim quite deep allowing you to toggle the Hippo Walk ability, This ability allows you to use less stamina why adventuring the centers oceans but also allowing you to essentially move faster in water by running across the variety of The Center's waterbeds. Predator of the night- The Deinosuchus Sanguineus possesses the ability to have increased movement in the night due to many now a day Caiman showing this behavior having near perfect night vision. Lunge-This creature uses its muscular build to quite literally launch out the water allowing it to catch low flying prey or unsuspecting mammals seeking a fishy meal Variations Killer- Can come with serrated teeth allowing strong gnash ability and is more equipped to run faster in short instances on land in order to catch up with prey Tanky- Can come more tanky allowing them to have reduced damage taken and enhanced damage dealing based on how long the creature is basking. Brawler- This variation seems to get a thrill from it's life being at risk, allowing it to go into some type of a frenzy that allows it to have a 20% boost in stats (not including health stat of course ) after getting below 35% health until it's health is recovered to 55% or greater. Also appears with a bulkier head than the normal Dieno. Size variation- Each Deinosuchus will have slight size variations, a bigger Dieno will have a greater Health and weight and damage. Smaller Dieno will be faster and have more stamina on land. If the Deinosuchus is in a large enough body of water it will grow to the size of a Mosasaurus. Loot- Drops a rare organic substance called leviathan hide. Drops loot similar to a Giga or Mosa. Also once tamed passively sheds its scales. Leviathan hide This hide can be equipped in the costume slot providing armor similar to shadowmanes natural armor. This rare hide will be able to be equipped to your survivor's armor like a glider suit. Once quipped to the armor it will allow the survivor wearing it to have immunity to the elements and actually giving the survivor a 5 percent damage and regen buff in hotter biomes. To balance this out the Leviathan Hide will slowly deteriorate over time when in use similar to how scuba, hazard, and Miner hats do. The Deinosuchus scales can be used as a slower way to obtain leviathan hide once tamed. PS# The variations should be based on what water they are found in. May vary if it is a river, pond, ocean,swamp ect… "Vote for the Purussaurus my gator fam."
