mobile base Josephoartigasia - The Prehistoric Capybara
ThatWAFFLEGuy49 posted a suggestion in Creature submission archive
Species: Josephoartigasia Monesi Time: Late Pliocene to Early Pleistocene Diet: Herbivore Temperament: Docile Wild: Roaming the lush landscapes of The Center's swamps, the Josephoartigasia, affectionately known as the 'Prehistoric Capybara' due to their shared appearance (although they are not directly related, more like cousins) brings a unique blend of charm and strength to Ark Survival Evolved. Despite its adorable appearance, this prehistoric rodent possesses a set of intriguing abilities that make it an invaluable companion for adventurous survivors. The Josephoartigasia is a semi-aquatic creature, well-adapted for navigating between the small islands of The Center. With its powerful legs and webbed feet, it moves gracefully both on land and in water, making it a versatile creature for exploration and resource gathering. Its bite, while powerful enough to break trees (meaning it can harvest wood as well as berries) and rivals the strength of a sabertooth or terror bird, are typically only used in self-defense, due to their calming pheromones making them invisible to most predators, or for building of burrows. Domesticated: Survivors who tame the Josephoartigasia discover its true potential as a mobile base and a reliable transport companion. Its friendly nature and gentle temperament make it a docile addition to any tribe. In fact, it's so docile, dinosaurs around it are also soothed! (although it may just be because of the calming pheromones they give off). The true wonder of this creature, however, lies in its saddle wagon. Wagon Saddle Concepts: The Josephoartigasia's unique saddle has two separate designs, one that's a four-wheeled wagon and the other a two-wheeled chariot. (Something like this) The chariot design offers ample storage capacity for resources and supplies, but is limited to two riders (a driver and an armed passenger). Survivors can load up the chariot with ammo and equipment, making a quick vehicle for hit and run tactics, scouting missions, or for quick resource runs (because you're always lacking one of something, amirite?). The chariot also allows for extra chaos, allowing for the driver to reverse the effects of the Josephoartigasia's pheromones, causing any dinosaur not being ridden to go into a temporary rampage and start attacking everything in the immediately area, even tamed dinosaurs from the same tribe and friendly tribe members. The (Actual) Wagon Saddle: The wagon saddle is larger than the chariot, and can be built upon, as the saddle is the size of two foundations side by side. This allows for the wagon to be used as a stealthy mobile base (for scouting and avoiding those pesky alpha tribe patrolling the skies), traveling shops and traders (for those who love to roleplay), for sieging walled off bases as siege ladders and mobile ballista (which are a lot faster than Paracers), for looking over the treetops as sniper towers (when built tall enough), or as a mobile respawn point to protect those around it from wild dinos. Of course, there's also a normal one passenger saddle, but it's rather boring. The Tek version of the normal saddle, however, turns the Josephoartigasia into a high-speed battering ram, with a cowcatcher on the front and a built-in air tank full of the Josephoartigasia's pheromones. This tank lets the rider mix different consumables in with the pheromones to temporarily boost the Josephoartigasia. Stimulant = Faster sprinting (like giving a seven year old a mountain dew) Re-Fertilizer = Increased health regeneration & disabling the food loss from healing (as the berries in its stomach start to regrow what was already digested) Rare Flowers = Boosted damage Taming: Taming the Josephoartigasia requires patience and a gentle approach. Offering one its favorite food (which changes randomly between the different growable crops, different seeds, and beer after every feeding), petting it when it asks to be petted, and not leaving it's "pheromone range" will cause the Josephoartigasia's pheromones (now mixed with the survivor's scent) to turn against the Josephoartigasia, slowly taming it. Once tamed, survivors can begin their adventures with this adorable yet powerful creature. Size: Between an Equus and a Trike. (About this big normally, and slightly bigger for Ark) Stats: About as fast as a charging Trike with the wagon, as fast as a full speed dire bear with the chariot, and can keep up with raptors when not saddled. (forgive me for not being good with actual numbers) Now, into the abilities: (I'm on Playstation, so I'm going to explain it with those buttons) Chariot Saddle - A: Jump (not a big jump, but big enough to leap over a single wall) A (while sprinting): Leap (shorter jump, but leaps across four foundation wide gaps) Pressed left stick: Sprint Right trigger: Bite attack Right trigger (while sprinting): Headbutt Left trigger: Pheromone blast (temporarily disables the ability to attack to all dinosaurs nearby, also raises imprinting on baby dinosaurs caught in the blast by like 5%) Left trigger (while sprinting): Crop dust (releases a trail of pheromones that makes enemy dinos in range rampage) Wagon saddle - A (while sprinting): E-break (instantly stop at the cost of some stamina) Pressed left stick: Sprint (slowly builds up to top speed like a dire bear) Right trigger: Burst of speed (forgos the build-up to instantly reach max speed, however it drains a lot of stamina) Right trigger (while sprinting): Smokescreen (immediately de-aggros wild dinos and temporarily prevents enemies from attacking) Left trigger: Scared Toot (Temporarily boosts speed if an enemy is inside pheromone range, however will cause the Joe to panic and start ignoring its rider's controls until far enough away from said enemy) Left trigger (while sprinting): Fear Fart (Temporarily boosts speed and damage resistance, but will begin to panic even faster). With the Josephoartigasia by your side, you can explore the wonders of The Center map like never before. Look at this thing! Imagine it pulling ballistas up to the front gates of a base! It's so chonky! Its wagon and chariot saddles open up exciting possibilities for nomadic tribes and resourceful survivors, and can be quite the fun addition to The Center. Cast your vote for the Josephoartigasia, and see The Center from a whole new perspective. Go Joe!- 1 reply

**Art on Dossier by Lapis** Wild I've seen alot of prehistroic mammals in my time but I've never seen a Prehistoric Giraffe let alone it being the largest prehistroic relative. Sivatherium Flingerrum is a very strange creature on this ARK mainly its large horns. Unlike Modern Day Giraffes, They're very sharp and wide and I've seen even wild ones pick up and hurl Large boulders at attackers with them. They also use their horns to eat the delicious cactus sap from the cacti of Scorched to supplement their weak stomachs as Sivatherium's have a case of a sick stomach causing them to hurl up their lunch. The Sivatherium's love for Cactus sap is so strong, Sivatherium is easily tamed by letting it lick the Cactus sap off any nearby Survivor. Just don't get covered in its vomit after it takes some sap from you. Domesticated Once tamed, Sivatherium's large horns provide huge utility in raids turning it into a living catapult/slingshot able to hurl boulders or jars of pitch at enemy bases. They also have such a good run speed able to run long distances without consuming stamina and are able to carry large loads for either raids or resource harvesting. And despite the nasty vomit, I've seen survivors use it as a substitute for spoiled meat due to its putrid smell & taste & even making a special spray to scare creatures away from survivors or just hurl its vomit at an opposing force!! Talk about losing your lunch!! Left Click: Horn Slam: Sivatherium swings is large horns at its target causing decent knockback Right Click: Stomp: Sivatherium uses its front feet to hit its target with this attack hitting twice, if looking behind this attack becomes a back kick C Key: If Sivatherium is about to hurl, you can have Sivatherium spit its vomit/hurled lunch at an opponent causing them to lose health slowly while also causing them to gain large amounts of Torpor at a rapid rate due to the horrible smell. X Key: Catapult/slingshot Mode (Able to Launch Catapult Boulders and Jars of Pitch from its Horns. You also be able to create a new ammo type utilizing the vomit to make a giant stink bomb to hurl at opposing forces)(You can also use Catapult Mode to tame Karkinos and Rock Golems) Other Abilities: Sivatherium is able to Sprint without consuming any Stamina similar to Iguanodon (Attacks still cost Stamina), has a High Weight Stat to carry resources across the map, Is able to gather Cactus Sap more efficiently tree to help its weak stomach or you can use its Vomit as a substitute for Spoiled Meat or make a special spray that will scare creatures away from you for a period of time. Taming: Option 1: To Tame Sivatherium, You must approach it while you have Cactus Sap in your zero slot. Sivatherium will approach and start to lick you and the cactus sap out of your inventory. Be careful to not let it lick you for that long as after eating too much cactus sap, it will Vomit on you and the smell of the vomit will scare the Sivatherium away and ruin its taming effectiveness. Option 2: Use a Catapult on its neck causing it to hurl its lunch and stun it for a short period of time. Run up while its stunned and feed it Cactus Sap. Repeat until tamed. The Saddle can be unlocked at lv 35 and you are able to craft the boulders and jars of pitch in its inventory to use in Catapult Mode. There would also be a Wagon Saddle at Lv 50 so Sivatherium can haul stuff with huge weight reductions to items on the wagon.
