my submission is boverisuchus, I have 2 main ideas for what this creature could do ingame, but want to start with basic facts. Sciencey stuff I want to have a bunch of background info on boverisuchus cuz I feel thats important for understanding the creature. It lived not long after the asteroid hit and killed almost everything, Boverisuchus was one of those that lived through the chaos that waws post apocalyptic earth, and I think a story like that doesnt sound to far off from extinction. IRL it was 6-7 feet long or a little more than 2 meters. These bois heavily armoured skin, filled with osteoderms, but had none on its tail (the bone knobs u hind on the back of crocodiles, if u want an example look em up). A very large piece of its identity is the hoofes instead of claws. The claws were modified in a way to be hoofs allowing it to just get around better on land and is therefore a terrestrial croc. IT was also able to gallop. it was alot more dinosaur like than croc and many fossils have been mistaken for dinosaur fossils ( I want it to be a little more croc than its irl counterpart). thats basically everything important in the wiki but I have more info. I first learned this thing existed from a Trey The Explainer video on YT and he goes over the fact that theres a big debate over if this thing could stand on its hind legs. my guess is it could but only while runing (more on that later). My vision for just the model aparently this thing was alot more dinosaur than croc but I really want to lean into that croc bit. If u look at the image on the wiki the tail almost looks like it doesnt belong and is from a diff creature, my idea for the tail on the IG model is its alot more like a normal croc with those really big ridges. I also like the idea it has much longer legs than the dauchshund legged-fossil. and a much longer neck, I dont really have an ability in mid for the neck, I just like the idea. My idea for size is its a little taller than a gigantopithicus at its peak. and a little longer than a stego. Wouldnt mind these being tweaked to be larger (anything but the metric system) I have 2 ideas for the abilities. Ill start of with the base abilities and then the gimmick that puts it apart from the other creatures will be concept 1 and concept 2. concept 1 is the more reasistic one while concept 2 is an earlier idea. its basic abilities are: are a pretty normal walk, a good speed gallop, and a charge attack. Its attacks are a bite, a tail swipe similar to modern crocs. I would like to see some atleast a knockback maybe even a small stun. And then its charge attack. the charge attack is significantly faster than the gallop similar to a packy charge. Once it rams into something at the end of its charge it does a unique stun and maybe like a dinopithicus' bleed. I would really liketo see some unique animation sequence for that stun using the knockout and wake up animation, that would be really cool and really bring the creature to life. Yall did something similar in the rhynio give birth animation, one more animation plz : ) concept 1 the idea behind both concepts is that this is a creature built to be the creature u ride while doing OSDs or element veins. with concept 1 I really leaned into that and decided to have it work similar to the carch, with a meter at the bottom that fills up as you kill corrupted creatures. as it kills more and more its damage and maybe defense is buffed. The damage multiplier does more damage to normal creatures, but does its full strenth when attacking corrupteds doing insane damage when fully charged. One last minute idea is as it fills up is does a more and more powerful bleed when it charges a corrupted creature. This is a dossier example i created using concept 1. Crocs are known for surviving through all the eras and I think Boverisuchus is a perfact example of that, but these creatures are drasticly different from their not quite mezozoic cousins, these are modified creatures, with a behavioral augmentation to kill all corruption wild on the island i noticed many creatures were different from their pre-historic ancestors, these boverisuchus, are the link between us, and the machines. they are designed like cats, to kill all that they can find, these were created to rage at all corruption infested creatures they find. making swift work of the largest corrupteds, beating up creatures many times larger than itself. I guess either those that debated if it could run bipedal were correct, that or they made Boverisuchus do it, because it can run in a bipedal stance and chase down prey or knockover titans. I would hate to have any form of corruption on me, because these monsters will sniff you out and find you. No piece of corruption is safe from their cast-iron stomachs. Domesticated Boverisuchus is put in such a rage by corruption that having it while traversing the bad-lands would be invalueable, If it can catch up to a boverisuchus, it wont be able to go home and tell the tale. If one was to pasify it with the opposite of corruption, and was able to feed it and make friends to the point of taming it, these would be unstoppable in defending those sub-orbital supply drops. Fortunately, one such fellow at the camp managed to pull it off. and collecting resources to fend against everything this dying earth throws at us has been much easier. concept 2 While still focused at killing corrupteds, concept 2 was meant to do that while the doom soundtrack was going by having a turret that was capable of supporting any mountable turret, while being accesable from the rider's saddle. The turret could hold any firearm or turret (except autos). I also had this elaborate system where if its a hand held gun it does the normal damage, and if its a turret it uses the saddle armour. (25 armour = 25% damage, so primitive saddles are not good, 100 armour does 100% damage or normal damage) where if it had more than 100 armour it was capable of doing more damage than the turret would do when placed. Last part of concept 2 is it had a Tek saddle that came with a Tek cannon, capable of raw damage output way greater than that of a tek rifle, basicly a tek assault rifle. but the gun could not be switched out like on a normal saddle. concept 2 wasnt a very realistic idea of what the devs would do to boverisuchus and eventually concept 1 came to mind and thats alot more feasable than slightly different andrew. enjoy my bad drawing I posted this creature for abberation and didnt think it would do well ( it didnt). but hopefully this gets more votes, ive put alot of thought into this creature and hope he makes it. and aparently a bunch of the images i used are now top results on google images. TY for reading
