The Olm- A giant 💦 slippery 💦 mount- Proteus anguinus
Foulwhistle posted a suggestion in Creature submission archive
The Olm The olm is a real world amohibian that has been around for thousands of years. This creature is also known as the cave salamander. They are blind and spend almost all their time in the water. They get around by sensing the electromagnetic frequencies around them they are a small amphibian only getting to around 8 inches long but they are certainly one of the most unique creatures in the world. How would they fit into Aberation? The olm in reality lives in caves and has developed its senses for this environment. It has no eyes and can sense even the slightest vibrations. There are several useful applications for this creature in the ARK. [ ] In a PVP setting, this amphibian could be able to locate and genorators and power them off from a distance. [ ] The Olm has a very fast regenerative ability that it can share with survivors and other tames. [ ] The Olm can locate creatures in a vicinity through walls and be able to locate them on your mini map, it can also give you the levels of dinos from a distance. [ ] The olm can also tell you if you have entered a dangerous area with large carnivores around [ ] This Amphibian would be scaled up so it could be rideable, when you ride this creature it could have the ability to spray a goo onto a target and slow them down or stick them in place depending on the size. [ ] The Olm is able to warn you before an earthquake happens (similarly to a jerboa). [ ] The Olm can use its slime coating to coat other survivors and allow them to breath underwater for a certain amount of time. Taming. Taming this amphibian would be a complicated endeavor. The olm is a passive tame that is reactive to your movements. Approaching the olm too quickly may scare this skittish creature off or cause it to fight back. If the olm chooses to run then do not chase it, you will cause it to attack. If the olm fights back then run away as fast as you can, if the olm sprays you with its goo, you will be stuck in place and be in danger of being eaten by another dino. Approaching any wild olms slowly is the best choice. The taming food of choice is chitin. Domestication. When these amphibians are domesticated you can ride them on land and in the water. In the water the Olm moves across the bottom of the water and can help you collect resources. On land the Olm is a slippery thing, it can move fast from place to place and can move by either slithering fast from place to place or by using its two front legs to drag its long slender body along. The Olm is breedable, though, it needs to be in the water in order to breed, if not provided with water it will not produce eggs. The eggs need water to hatch and incubate for a very short amount of time. They can produce eggs quickly and will somtimes lay more than one. Habitat. You can find this amphibian in bodies of water. They are often surrounded by large carnivores but remain unharmed. If any creature attempts to attack, the Olm will not hesitate to "goo" the predator. The Olm rarely ventures out of water. Finding the olm is not an easy thing to do. They don't show themselves as often as you would think. They prefer to stay hidden and traditionally can't be found around other Olms. Size. The Olm is larger than a titanaboa but smaller than a basilisk. They allow survivors to ride on their back with a special saddle. This saddle needs to be able to hold moisture to stop the olm from drying up. The saddle is infused with absorbent substrate. This substrate allows the olm to stay out of water indefinitely and survive. Attacks Whip- whip the target with its long body Spray- Spray a goo onto the target that sticks them in place Spin attack- only in water it can spin and knock enimies back Locate- allows them to locate enemies nearby. Suction- underwater it can suck in multiple small nuisance creatures and damage them without being damaged. Dossier- I'm not the best of artists and I don't have access to any digital drawing service so if somone would like to submit a dossier and some drawing that would help a ton and hopefully get this creature into the game (I will credit anyone who makes one that I use) The Olm is a creature I am not too familiar with. They weren't an aussie native but sure as hell could have been with their alien appearance! Back on earth they would be found in caves. They where never to big from what I remember, but it seems that somone modified them to grow to a bigger size! I had seen only a handful of these creature while on this ark and none of them seem to let me approach. So Coming face to face with the Olm for the first time was an exciting experience, it wouldn't let me approach without running off so I had no other choice but to wait. Scaring off this creature was not somthing I wanted to do seeing how rare it is, but after I approached it seemed to sense the chitin I had in my pocket and tried ro take it out! I ended up giving the Olm the chitin and it warmed up to me quickly, nothing seemed to want to mess with the Olm, even the Spinos! This is certainly one of the most unique creatures on this broken ark. Conclusion. I feel the Olm would be a great addition to ark seeing as we only have to amphibians so far! They are such unique creatures that I feel would fit the twisted world of Aberration. The Olm is an endangered species that I feel deserves more so this could really raise awareness for the species and possibly help this species do better. Please let me know if I should change/ add anything and please send me some artwork for this! Thank you! -Foulwhistle P.S.- there are alot of other great creature submission so please go support them too if I don't win that's not a big deal, but please make somone who worked hard on their creature get in! If I don't get in if you have any connections to mod makers please show them this idea, I feel it could be a good fit if done properly. Thank you!!!! Source https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olm -
Wild: Never have I met something so annoying on one of these Arks. Cacops Magnastrido, or usually just called Cacops, are small pest found in droves by the rivers of the jungle. They've been known to scream all day without any known reason, but some tribes insist they do it just to mess with them. The real problem introduces itself though when battles begin, with screams so loud it's been thought you can hear them on the other side of the Ark! It's a miracle any tribe hasn't brought them to extinction yet. Domesticated: For the few crazy enough to want these around, they're shockingly easy to obtain. Requiring only your presence, some raw meat and a lack of eardrums you can have your own living alarm. system I've heard from the larger tribes that with enough in a small area, the screams get so loud they can actually disorientate both rider and mount. If that wasn't enough, their screams can wake even the most sleep deprived of survivors, with them being so startled they find it almost impossible to sleep afterwards, no matter the solution.

In real life Acheroraptor is a smaller dromaeosaurid that was thought to have hunted small mammals reptiles and other dinosaurs, but also believed to have scavenged kills of apex predators in the area. A possibility of it in ark could be it spawning in around large carnivores and to tame them you’d need to throw down meat or other foods to lure them away. A possible purpose for taming them could be them being able as a little shoulder alarm. Due to hanging around large carnivores they got used to knowing when said carnivores saw them as a snack, meaning they could alert you when something agros to you.
