Inspired by Nycticebus linglom, a prehistoric primate known only from a single tooth as well as Slow lorises, the only venomous primate to exist. I figured that the Lorises venom could be adapt well to the idea of corruption and started brainstorming a bunch of ideas but feel free to share your own. Also, sorry in advance for the quality and typos! I'm a noob at making these! Wild: Being a relatively small and solitary creature, the Loris spends most of its time in the canopy of trees, only ever coming down if an opportunity to grab an easy meal appears. A rare sight due to their nature and habitat the Lorises simian intelligence along with its unique attributes has enabled it to survive outside of the protective domes significantly easier than most creatures would. The only venomous primate found on the Arks, the Lorises venom is a side effect of its diet which consists primarily of the corrupted flesh from wild creatures. This venom has a surprising amount of uses beyond just poisoning enemies that are bitten by the Loris. Corrupted creatures seem to ignore the Loris, which I assume to be because they view it as one of them. This effect also seems to apply to those near a loris which leads me to believe it has something to do with the Loris' scent or perhaps pheromones given off by the creature via special glands. Domesticated: In order to tame one of these odd primates survivors must offer them either corrupted nodules or corrupted hearts with hearts being the more effective of the two. Once tamed survivors will find that while not particularly useful in head-to-head combat the Loris does provide unique utility with its venom and other corruption-based abilities. The Lorises venom can be harvested and turned into a special elixir that when consumed can temporarily "corrupt" the consumer, granting them a boost in ferocity and causing wild corrupt creatures to ignore them. Should the Loris bite a wild corrupted creature or the creature of an enemy that creature can temporarily be forced onto your side. Lorises also gather more corrupt materials when harvesting them and make it harder for wild corrupt creatures to notice nearby survivors and tames. Though it is too small to ride it can be equipped with a specialized saddle, similar to the Hyaenodon, with the Lorises saddle acting much like a chemistry bench. To anyone who reads this, thanks in advance. I know it's not flashy or cool but I appreciate everyone who does.

Protostega is a genuis off prehistoric sea turtles. Wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protostega Name: Protostega: Group: Reptile Diet: Pesketariane: ( Cinidra Toxin, prme fishmeat) Temperament: Skittish. Dossier: Wild: Protostega is a quite large and extremly skittish but then again when your so far down the food chain I guess yor best chance is to flee not fight. Protostega spend most off there days feeding on cinidras and sea weed along the sea bed and they seem to only come on land during nesting season. it`s shell is pretty primitive and leathery and do not provide much protection but thats not that needed when you can outswim any predetor and when they first get hurt it seems like there diet off the cinida helps them quickly recover. Domesticated: As a domesticaded creature Protostega`s primary roles seem to be scouting and transporting good trhu the ocean and as a medic for other creatures. there high speed in water even when carring plenty of cargo makes them great for transporting goods over long distances quickly. And while it itself isn`t a fighter protostega helps out in battle bye emiting a chemical it produces to help it`s ally recover quickly. The chemicals protostega produces is has great properties that many tribes use in there cooking to give it a boost to there imunsystem and recovery. Abillites: 1 Bite: Left click preforms a simpel bite attack (not very strong) 2 Healing: Rightclick to preform a burst off healing ( hold down to increas range and power). When protostega kills cinadras it stores it`s toxin for later use. Using Protostega`s healing abillity uses up toxin, holding down right click gives better range and effect but consume more toxin. 3 Spin: Protostega spins around (vertical) and creates a shock wave that pushes enemies away while giving itself and it`s ally a speed boost. Saddle: The chemist`s saddle. Protostega`s saddle comes with a chemist bench and allows you to create the Proto-chemical, a chemical made from cinidra toxin that can be used in any dish to give it a healing boost. up to 3 survivers can ride on the saddle ( 1 driver +2 passengers) at the same time. the passengers can use tools/weapons while rideing. Taming: Wild Protostegas can`t be tamed. Along the beaces off the center you'll find varius mounds called protostega nests. Interacting with thees allowes you to start a minigame to grab yourself a turtle. A hatchling wil emerge from the sand and start slowly make it`s way to the ocean while wild iththyornis wild start gathering and swooping down trying to kill and eat the baby. to succseed the taming you need the fend off the birds until the hatcling reaches the ocean where it will rapidly mature and become tamed. the baby can be feed cinidra toxin to heal it but it won't get back the taming effectiveness. The further a mound is away from the ocean the higher level hatchling and longer it wil take for the hatcling to reach the ocean. Thank you for looking at my idea.

Hello fellow survivors, this is my first submission to a creature vote, so if any of this formatting is weird, please bear with me. Anyway, here's my submission for the Aberration creature vote and one of my favorite herbivores, the Ouranosaurus (Art made by me). Common Name: Ouranosaurus Species: Ouranosaurus anticachemicus Time: Early Cretaceous Diet: Herbivore Temperament: Reactive Wild Ouranosaurus anticachemicus is perhaps one of the weirdest herbivores I've seen on the Arks, especially compared to its relative the Iguanodon. Though it is large and bulky, with the ability to unleash punishing stomps and kicks to any aggressor, most predators leave it alone as it peacefully searches for the next berry bush or mushroom patch to feast on. However, the reason why Ouranosaurus seems to be immune to such attacks from large carnivores like Spinosaurus or Carnotaurus may lie in how often times it chews up narcotic-inducing substances and then proceeds to rub them into its skin, causing whatever attacks it to eventually knock itself out. The Ouranosaurus itself seems to be immune to any negative effects caused by its food. Or perhaps it simply has a different effect on the animal, which would certainly explain its lax behaviour! Domesticated Just when it seems this herbivore couldn't get any stranger, it just keeps on surprising! I've talked to tribes who have managed to tame the beasts, telling stories of the Ouranosaurus walking in on them while cooking up stews and curries and patiently waiting for a serving themselves. It appears that the more complex the stew and soup, as long as it contains mushrooms or berries, the more friendly an Ouranosaurus will be towards you, even if it includes meat or eggs. The tribes have also begun to use the bizarre ability to consume literally anything without repercussions and used it to grind together various substances that can be used in place of narcotics or stimulants. I even observed them using an Ouranosaurus to grind up gunpowder and gasoline, fitting a pouch under its snout to collect as the resources ran down its neck. Others decided to allow the Ouranosaurus to simply rub the narcotics all over its body as it would in the wild before riding out into danger, with every foe who attacked them collapsing not long after. No matter which way a survivor decides to use this creature, it is sure to be worthwhile. Habitat: As mentioned in the dossier, the Ouranosaurus will be near mushroom patches and berry bushes, mostly near water sources, generally untouched by most predators due to go along with the idea that predators have found out not to touch them due to their abilities idea, like how monarch butterflies are generally avoided due to being poisonous. Usability: Mobile Chemistry Bench: I can already hear "BUt WhaT About THe EqUUs" comments and how it already functions as mortar and pestle as a saddle. My goal for the Ouranosaurus was not to replace the Equus or any other similar creature, like the Iguanodon, but to offer an alternative (It's slower than both and has no lasso or infinite stamina, in case it was necessary to mention). The Ouranosaurus can make everything that the chemistry bench can, albeit of course at a slower rate to not eliminate the use of a chemistry bench completely as having one on the go can be useful. In order to activate this ability for the Ouranosaurus to grind everything up in its mouth and spit it out, I had the idea that the player must toggle whether or not it will have a pouch beneath its head to collect the resources. While this is toggled, the Ouranosaurus can still attack, but it can't activate its other ability. Chemical Covering If the resource pouch is not toggled, then anything that the Ouranosaurus consumes that has an effect, such as narcoberries, narcotics, or stimberries, the Ouranosaurus will chew up and rub the juices on its body, giving it a coating that reflects said effect onto anything that attacks it, as seen in how a Carnotaurus is knocked out after it bit the Ourano in the dossier. In order to help counteract the overpowered potential of this ability, not only will it not last, but it will also take up a lot of said resources and they will not provide the Ourano food. This process can be helped to tame creatures as this ability pairs well with the bulk and health of this herbivore. YOU CAN ONLY HAVE ONE OF THESE ABILITIES ACTIVE AT A TIME. Travel: The Ouranosaurus is somewhat slow and bulky but has a good amount of stamina, and due to its good stamina usage and recovery, it can cover a long distance with little trouble due to not aggroing many creatures outside of things like reapers, markings, or alphas. It is also immune to radiation, so anywhere is really available as long as you are up for the journey. The saddle will also have a two-person saddle, stretching across the top of the sail and each person sitting on one side, with weapon use allowed. Combat: The Ouranosaurus has two primary attacks, those being a front stomp with both legs and a back kick. Both deal a good amount of damage but lack effects as they wouldn't be necessary. The chemical covering ability can also be used to help knock out enemy tames or wild creatures to render them useless depending on whether the substance eaten has a narcotic effect, or hunger to drop if it ate something like stimberries. The Ouranosaurus itself is immune to any of these effects. Taming: Here's the drawback of taming such a creature with strong physical and unique abilities. As stated, it is necessary to use recipes to tame the Ouranosaurus as long as they have mushrooms or berries in them, and the more complex the recipe, the quicker it will tame. However, it will also follow you home if you recently ate any recipe that followed these requirements and wait around until you've either cooked up a meal for it or until the effect wears off. They will passively hang around the base unless attacked So, why did I choose Ouranosaurus? With its sail and potential for bright colorings and glowing patterns, Ouranosaurus will surely stand out from other creatures on the Ark, which I think is very important for an Ark being all about unique compared to the rest of them, with its main diet being berries and mushrooms due to them being plentiful in the Ark. I also wanted to buff out the sorely lacking herbivore representation in the game, with most of them being weak and starter tames that usually get bodied by the many carnivores that stalk the Arks, which generally isn't true in most cases in real life (Cue "it's a video game" comments. Please hush I want my funky badass hadrosauriform who is also potentially high all the time to beat the crap out of stuff). In the end, I just think it's neat. However, most importantly: If you wouldn't want something like this and would rather have something else, THATS OKAY. I hope you find something you do like and HAVE A GOOD DAY.
