Madtsoia, a relative to the legendary snake Titanoboa and its lesser known cousin the Gigantophis. With an incomplete fossil, paleontologists debate whether it it grows to at least 5m (15ft), or if it can grow from 15m - 20m (50ft - 65ft!). For the purposes of this concept, with it being called the Rex Strangler I am obviously making a concept on the 15m - 20m size. (Pronounced Mat-soy-ah) Picture for scale, would be slightly bigger though. Also be sure to check out some other awesome creature concepts such as the Gorgonopsid, Rhynoiognatha, Giant Otter and the Slime Mold concepts. Size = Slightly smaller in length to the basilisk, and skinnier too. Abilities: #1 Swallow - When the riding a Madtsoia, right click for it to lunge and grab any target Terror Bird size or smaller and swallow the creature whole. When a creature is swallowed in this way it will immediately die, there will be no corpse when the creature is killed, and all resources you would collect from it when harvesting it normally will enter the Madtsoia's inventory. When a creature of this size range is being ridden by a player this swallowing process will take a couple seconds instead of being instantly. If this is used on a player a duration will exist for five seconds dealing 20% of the players health every second, giving the player time to escape by dealing a significant damage to the snake. #2 Strangle - When riding a Madtsoia, right click to lunge towards any target larger than a terror bird and anything Allosaurus size or smaller to latch onto the creature. When a Madtsoia is latched onto a creature it will deal only small increments of damage, it will also bring the creature down and begin to slither around the creature strangling it. When a creature of this size is being strangled its oxygen stat will plummet very quickly suffocating it as well as "stopping blood flow" which makes it take additional damage (3.5% of its health for every second it is strangled). When a creature is killed via this method no corpse will spawn when it is killed, and all resources you would collect from it when harvesting it normally will enter the Madtsoia's inventory. When a Madtsoia strangles a creature being ridden by a player that player will be kicked off of their mount as this process plays out. #3 Suffocate - When riding a Madtsoia, hold control + right click to leap towards any target smaller than a giga and any target bigger than a Allosaurus. When a Madtsoia leaps onto a creature the creature will continue to move around (although at a smaller pace, the speed as if it had broken bones), while on a creature after leaping the Madtsoia will slowly wind itself around the creature going from its legs, then torso, then to its throat and head. When the suffocating process makes its way to the creatures head its oxygen stat will begin to plummet dealing damage to it. Amongst this it will also deal a steady 1.5% of damage every second. When the creature dies it will kick the Madtsoia off of the creature and have a dead body as normal. When a Madtsoia strangles a creature being ridden by a player that player will be kicked off of their mount as this process plays out. #4 Coil - Holding control while mounted onto a Madtsoia will make the snake slither on top of itself 4 times and hide its head under its body (this will take a duration of 5 seconds) once fully coiled up the snake will begin to rapidly heal at a rate of 0.75% of its health per second, as well as halving the cooldown on status conditions. #5 Lunge - While mounted onto a Madtsoia hold left click to charge up a leap attack, (this takes 2.2 seconds to fully charge) once fully charged the Madtsoia lunges toward a target a set distance away. When this attack lands on an opponent it will deal damage equal to 10%of their health instantly, as well as break their bones slowing them down tremendously for 10 seconds. This attack has a 15 second cooldown. Weaknesses: Coldness - This creature cannot be in cold climates with the ice cube symbol, if they do your vision will be impaired greatly, deal 50% less damage and their movement speed will decrease by 75%. When is climates with the snowflake symbol its movement speed decreases by 25% Fire - This creature will take an extra 15% damage against any weapons, or creatures that deal fire damage. Flyers - This creature will take an extra 30% damage from fliers due to their poor mobility. Taming - To tame this massive and deadly creature you must first knock out any creature of your choosing (the larger the better), when a creature is knocked out and close enough in the radius of the Madtsoia it will come and strangle it to death (corresponding with the abilities 1 - 3 depending on its size) once the unconsious creature is killed it will give a tame percentage equivalent to the creatures size. Chart for taming percentage Human - 2% Raptor - 4% Iguanodon - 7% Trike - 12.5% Diplo - 23.5% Stego - 30% Allosaurus - 45% Spino - 60% Rex - 75% Giga, Charchar, Titanosaur - 100% Bonus - When tamed and unmounted, you have an option to have the Madtsoia coiled up position similar to how you can bury basilisks, and reapers.
