Australopithecus- Humanities Return To Monkey Au-stral-O-pith-ecus OR Austal Wild - In the Wild Australopithecus live in small family groups wandering inside the sunken forest and last city as nomads. Their incredible intelligence, and humanoid appearance has led some survivors to speculate that these may in fact actually be modified humans, or at least be modified to act more like humans. This is of course just a conspiracy theory as there's no way humanity would do this to themselves, right? Either way there's no denying that these small primitive humans are actually quite successful at living on the new element polluted Earth. Taming - Wild Australs are actually quite tolerant of humans as long as their hands are empty. It seems they are actually quite happy to partake in trade for tasty foods, and basic materials they will trade tools and weapons they've found, recovered, and or possibly stolen to any survivors that approach them in good faith. After many successful trades with the same person the Austral may decide to go along with their new friend. (instead of the typical taming bar it's a random chance that increases as their traded with) Abilities - Will ride on your back like a baby monkey (Shoulder Pet). - Halved weight of items in inventory like a Sinocrops (Their a backpack). - Able to mimic human whistles to confuse enemy dinos momentarily. - Their small stature and hair covered bodies give them a natural ghillie effect hiding them from wild creatures when not being carried. - Gains an XP buff the more Australs there are. - They can equip hats, gloves, and pants. - By using level ups you can train them to be proficient in the use of one chosen firearm (Pistol, ShotGun, or AR). Damage is greatly reduced but they can train up to almost the same efficiency as a human with high level investment. Why You Should Vote - Respect your ancestors', return to MONKEY!!! - A shoulder pet wining would be a nice change of pace. - We didn't get a gun monkey last time, lets get it this time. - Only 1 other species of human in Ark, Great pick for diversity LOL. TLDR Trades with you, Backpack, Monkey Guns, Return To Monkey!!! I Honestly love that this could be made into a planet of the Apes Reference please WC, Extinction is a great map to it too.

COMMON NAME: Vulpes SPECIES: Vulpes Alopecoides TIME: Early Pleistocene DIET: Omnivores TEMPERAMENT: Timid Creature History Foxes split off from the Canidae lineage around 10 million years ago. (Canidae are wolve and later dogs) The first red foxes originated in the Middle East before beginning their journey of colonization across Eurasia to Siberia, across the Bering Strait and into North America, where they eventually founded the North American population. Dossier Wild Vulpes in the wild are usually found as individuals or as a duo and prey on small creatures like dodos to ants. Though when approached by anything bigger they either hide in bushes nearby or make a dashing escape. While not much is known about Vulpes history due to very little found in the fossil record these ones grow to a bit bigger in size compared to their modern day relatives. They still feel a little more different, as if the environment here has affected them to bring something more out of them? While being a little too big to have on your shoulders, survivors have made a little pack for their little friend to carry on their back that can quickly unfold to a harness for survivors to wear so Vulpes can have a comfortable ride along with their survivor friend. While that the mane uses it allows them to carry gear at further weight reduction and contains a portable mortar and pestle that can be usefully used when far from home. I still wonder whether this invention would work with other animals like Hyaenodon? Domesticated Once tame these fellows can become quite friendly towards you and survivors near them start to perform better in recovery to their strength. While they are very encouraging toward survivors they are also quite useful themselves being able to act like a backpack similarly to a Sinomacrops but when equipped with their harness they carry weapons and ammo at greater weight reductions. Flora appear to have a unique effect on them as I saw one eat an auric Mushroom and their tail and ears started to glow like glow pet, although the effect was temporary as it wore off later that day, I wondered what other mushrooms would do. Can be picked up in hands but too big to go on back. So special harness would allow fox to be carried on back --harness could also be used for other small creature that can be pick up but not on shoulder like hyena --harness would also act as a mortar and pestle can carry artifacts can be used as a backpack like Sinomacrops equipment and ammo weight reduced by 90% can hold torches or glow stick in their mouth for you normal colour regions back red/orange underside white ears black legs black tail red/orange face marking black happiness meter decrease slowly over time increase when feed e food will eat regular meat or berries first but when they eat/force fed(like a treat) give favourite food buff for 20 mins 25% happiness pet last for 30 minutes 25% happiness friend near (default to 25 %) 25% happiness comfy carry gear (still works if wingsuit is equipped(wingsuit take priory for visual as fox can just lay on their back when gliding)) 25% happiness mate boosted 25% max 100% 1 extra for another method encouragement buff if happiness is above 25% -weight reduction 10% -boosted stats --healing boost --speed --stamina use --melee speed --fortitude --crafting taming while they are timid in the wild, survivors need to prove them self to the vulpes by killing any predator that aggros on to them, once killed the vulpes will approach the survivor in curiosity and can follow up offering a treat like kibble or special recipe like battle tar tar (kibble less rewarding than special recipe). once started they will not fear you but still keep their distance (this will get less there more trust you build with them). once you build enough trust vulpes will join your tribe (you tamed them)
