A DISEASED CREATURE WITH NEW HUNTING ABILITIES - INOSTRANCEVIA Real Creature Wiki - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inostrancevia Hello Survivor I want to introduce you to the concept of the creature Inostrancevia or Ino, a medium-sized predator in ARK with new abilities for the Aberration map. Some of these mechanics were already presented in the concept for the Lost Island map. Idk who the original creator is. I slightly modified these mechanics, although the overall conception remained the same. Inostrancevia is an extinct creature from the Gorgonopsian clade, similar in appearance to the Gorgonops, which players have already presented in other creatures' votings before. Also, I used some mechanics of the Gorgonops provided by the user "Scanova" and others, such as creature tracking, and modified them according to my vision. Inostrancevia tracks creatures and players not by scent but by the bloody trails left by injured units. DOSSIER Species: Inostrancevia morbificae Time: Late Permian Diet: Carnivore Temperament: Aggressive or neutral-territorial Wild Inostrancevia morbificae can be considered one of the best hunters in the Ark, as they are skilled at tracking and killing their prey, dividing hunting grounds among themselves. These creatures prove their advantage through hunting, and only the most skillful hunter becomes the leader among other individuals of the same species. If the beast attacks you, it inflicts deep wounds with its sharp claws, and the bacteria in its jaws cause a severe illness. However, in the case of the latter factor, Inostrancevia has developed symbiosis to such an extent that these creatures identify each other solely by the presence of contact with these microbes. Like the creature, the player is susceptible to the effects of the disease. However, it is possible to recover from it over time. But with a particular treatment method, the player can redirect the pathogen, activating its beneficial properties. Domesticated While under the influence of the distorted disease, the survivor emits a pleasant scent that aids in identification among tamed Inostrancevias. These creatures go wild upon inhaling it, and similar to pheromones, it compels them to care more about the survivor and even protect them. Inostrancevia never forgets its hunting skills, even after a long captivity. The creature still skillfully tracks its prey by detecting the bloody traces left behind after delivering lethal wounds. ABILITIES Description The primary ability - the creature infects players with a specific disease that, when properly treated, can enhance the characters and creature itself. Active Abilities Simple Bite Press the button In bite attack, Inostrancevia deals moderate damage and ignores the creature`s armor. Perhaps it cannot ignore the armor of creatures like the Rock Golem or Reaper. However, it can kill Nameless without using light sources. Or not, idk. Paw Strike Press the button A claw attack that causes bleeding to assist in tracking creatures or players. If you attack, enemy units will leave behind a bloody trail that helps you track them. When the health of creatures or characters is below 20%, the bloody trail becomes more visible, making tracking easier. Infectious Bite Press the button To inflict damage, you need to charge the attack. It applies a new debuff to characters. The new disease is Cave Fever / Redwood Fever. Another name is Inostrancevia's Bite. While the character is sick, their attributes, appearance, and interface will change over time. It is caused by wild or tamed Inostrancevia. The disease cannot be transmitted through the air, and while the character is ill, he cannot be infected by another sickness. There are four stages of infection: First stage After 3 hours. The following attributes will be reduced: Health by 15%, and Stamina by 5%. Second stage After 6 hours of infection. The following attributes will be reduced: Health by 30%, and Stamina by 10%. Third stage After 9 hours of infection. The following attributes will be reduced: Health by 45%, Stamina by 15%, and Melee Damage by 10%. Fourth stage After 12 hours of infection. The following attributes will be reduced: Health by 80%, Stamina by 30%, and Melee Damage by 20%. Upon recovery, the character will receive a new buff at any stage of the disease. It can be cured using the "Lesser Antidote" or a new kind of medicine, for which you will need a new trophy - Inostrancevia Fang, to craft it. Roar Press the button The roar, when used, makes nearby enemy Purlovias emerge from underground. (The creature also has several passive abilities related to Purlovia) Jump Press the button Jumps forward. Unlike the Purlovia, it's a poor jumper. Run Long Press Inostrancevia can run for unlimited without using stamina but is slower than most similar-sized creatures. If you give this creature unlimited sprint, you need to remove the jump. Passive Abilities Inostrancevia takes 25% more damage from fire and fiery projectiles. The hostile Purlovia runs away after seeing Inostrancevia. Also, buried Purlovias will not stun you if you are riding on this creature. When the health of creatures and players is below 20%, the creature attacks deal 50% more damage. This allows you to finish off animals and players faster, and the final blow to a creature/character, before it dies, will have a unique finishing animation. Also, while the health of enemy units is critically low, they will be highlighted to the player riding the Inostrancevia with a special marker or glow, making it much easier to track them. New positive buff "Cured" for the character If the character recovers from the illness, it will receive a new buff. Depending on the stage of the disease at which cured, this buff will have different advantages. If the character is cured at the first stage of the disease, it will receive an increase in the following attributes: Health and health regeneration by 5%. If the character is cured at the second stage of the disease, it will receive an increase in the following attributes: Health and health regeneration by 10%. If the character is cured at the third stage of the disease, it will receive an increase in the following attributes: Health and health regeneration by 15%, Stamina and Melee Damage by 5%. If the character is cured at the final stage of the disease, it will receive an increase in the following attributes: Health and health regeneration by 30%, Stamina and Melee Damage by 10%. In addition to increasing attributes, this buff grants you the infinite effect of "Lesser Antidote." New positive buff "Among relatives" for the creature If a character with the buff "Cured" approach a friendly Inostrancevia, the creature will receive a buff, which increases the value of the following attributes: Melee Damage by 25% and Damage Resistance by 20%. Collectibles Raw Prime Meat ***** Hide ***** Keratin **** Raw Meat **** Chitin *** and others organic resources and consumables. ABERRATION This section of the concept describes how this creature behaves on this map, what abilities it has that are specific to this map, and other details. Passive Abilities If the Reaper Queen is nearby and ready to impregnate characters, the tamed Inostrancevia will alert you by emitting a warning roar. Add the following abilities for the "Cured" buff: The Reaper Queen will consider you a more potential target for impregnation while you are under the effect of the "Cured" buff. And, if the player carries an embryo while under the buff, the future Reaper will also receive this buff, making it stronger and immune to radiation during pregnancy. Immunity to fungal spores or radiation. In the case of radiation, I would grant immunity that removes the blurring effect and extend the death process. Also, provide players with radiation antidote that could temporarily give total protection. This could be a new kind of medicine required to treat the illness caused by this creature. TAMING Before taming, the character must be under the effect of the "Cured" buff. To obtain this buff, the character must become infected with the "Cave Fever/ Redwood Fever" disease and effectively cure it. The character can become infected after a wild Inostrancevia attacks you with its "Infectious Bite" attack if its health drops to 20%. Alternatively, ask a tamed Inostrancevia to infect you or your tribe member using the option in the creature's menu. Inostrancevia changes its temperament from aggressive to neutral-territorial, and instead of directly attacking the player, it keeps them at a distance. When the player approaches the creature, it emits a warning roar, and if ignored and gets even closer, the beast attacks the character. To initiate taming player must hunt and acquire one large or medium-sized creature and show the creature's body to the wild Inostrancevia (required prey size varies depending on the level of the wild Inostrancevia). After the Inostrancevia assesses your prey, and if satisfied with its size, it will request an invitation to join your pack. The player must lead a pack of one or several Inostrancevias to hunt down large prey. Similar to missions in the Genesis maps, players track animals by their bloody trails. If you or your followers efficiently and quickly kill creatures without using tamed dinosaurs during the hunt, Inostrancevia gains percentages and taming effectiveness faster. The females Inostrancevias are larger and stronger than males, which makes their taming process more challenging. Also, your subordinates will regularly test you by challenging you to a hunting duel, where you must compete with a wild Inostrancevia in hunting creatures. A mini-game is activated, in which you and the wild Inostrancevia must hunt a certain number of preys within a short period, and the winner will be the one who tracks and hunt down more creatures. Remember, the final taming method may change depending on how WildCard interprets it.
