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
