Dino Dossier?: The ???? (Dodorex)

Today a new dossier has been released… or has it? Unlike the other dossiers, this one doesn’t give any informations. Maybe it’s a tiny preview for the upcoming halloween. The dossier itself resembles the well feared dodosaurus rex, which has been rumored a few times and even got a fanmade dossier.

Dino Dossier: Pachyrhinosaurus

Common Name: Pachyrhinosaurus
Species: Pachyrhinosaurus Mitisaura
Time: Late Cretaceous
Diet: Herbivore
Temperament: Evasive
Domestication
Tameable: Yes
Rideable:

Yes

  • Wild: Pachyrhinosaurus Mitisaura is a medium-sized herbivore, found almost everywhere but the island’s mountains. It is generally calm, and ignores all other nearby creatures unless it is attacked, at which point it usually tries to flee.

  • Domesticated: Pachyrhinosaurus is an excellent starting mount for anyone new to taming. It is fairly easy to train, can carry enough to be a simple pack-animal, and is not as deadly as some of the larger herbivores. Additionally, Pachyrhinosaurus can release it’s unique checmial on command to protect itself and it’s rider from nearby predators, or draw attention if desired, making it a potential life saver in a pinch.

  • Known Information: Of the island’s varied creatures, Pachyrhinosaurus may possess among the most unique survival skills. When threatened, it’s massive nasal boss releases a chemical into the air that calms other nearby creatures, making them less likely to attack it. Affected creatures are sometimes hungry enough to ignore the effect and humans seem immune to it. Conversely, it can seemingly invert this phenomenon at will and induce creatures to become more aggressive towards it!

Here are the previous Patchnotes (214)

New

Here and here are the previous Patchnotes (213 & 213.1)

Dino Dossier: Angler

Common Name: Angler
Species: Melanocetus Anglerpescum
Time: Early Cretaceous - Holocene
Diet: Carnivore
Temperament: Aggressive to small fry, otherwise skittish!
Domestication
Tameable: Yes
Rideable: Yes
  • Wild: Whether its size is caused by adaptation to the island's other inhabitants, or by cross-breeding with another larger species, Melanocetus Anglerpescum is the largest form of Anglerfish I've ever heard of. Typically found only among the deepest, darkest expanses of the ocean, this creature preys on smaller fish while being an excellent source of food for larger predators.
  • Domesticated: Exploring the depths of the ocean can be difficult. The cold, the lack of air, and the shocking absence of light combine to make travel very dangerous. A tamed Anglerfish can use the natural light at the end of its stalks to illuminate the depths, making exploration not only safer, but more lucrative. Furthermore, these luminescent nodules can be harvest to create long-lasting organic light emplacements for surface dwellings!
  • Known Information: Melanocetus has an array of bioluminescent light pods at the end of stalks on its head. Like typical Anglerfish, it primarily uses these to attract smaller fish and trick them into coming close enough for Melanocetus to consume the prey. This often makes wild Melanocetus itself relatively easy to spot among the briny depths.

Taming Calculator Update

Very short information: we’ve added the new dinosaurs based on the DEVKIT data to the taming calculator. We’ll add the posibility for non-violent taming and effectivity in the near future. Currently the non violent values are a lil bit off. Stay tuned. 🙂

Dino Dossier Pegomastax

Common Name: Pegomastax
Species: Pegomastax Fructarator
Time: Early Jurassic
Diet: Herbivore
Temperament: Defensive
Domestication
Tameable: Yes
Rideable: No

 

  • Wild: Among the bottom of the island's dinosaur food chain is a small herbivore called Pegomastax Fructarator. It is content to spend all day alone, gorging itself on far more food than you might reasonably expect for a creature of its tiny stature. Its beak appears perfectly evolved for collecting food from plants while avoiding the indigestible fibrous strands.

  • Domesticated: While not pretty, and far too small to ride, tribes often keep Pegomastax around as a kind of farming aid. Its skill at scavenging means that it collects an extraordinary quantity of seeds and berries, while also handily gathering the rare Flowers, Mushrooms, and other ingredients necessary to cook up unusual concoctions.

  • Known Information: Pegomastax is likely to ignore any nearby creature and continue foraging, unless it is attacked. At which point, it turns into a very aggressive (though rather unthreatening) opponent, shrieking and wooping far above its actual threat level. You would expect a creature this small and weak to live in flocks, but Pegomastax seems to be fairly solitary in nature.
