Dino Dossier: Oncorhynchus – Sabertooth Salmon

Common Name  Sabertooth Salmon
Species Oncorhynchus Grexlamia
Time Miocene - Mid Pleistocene
Diet Carnivore
Temperament Evasive, Aggressive when attacked
Domestication
Tameable No
Rideable No
  • Wild: Fairly unremarkable by the Island’s standards, Oncorhynchus Grexlamia is a generally passive fish. Far smaller than a human, its main form of protection is swimming in a large school. Oncorhynchus does not like conflict, and generally swims away from anything larger than it at very high speeds.

  • Domesticated: Like many of the smaller fish found on or around the Island, Oncorhynchus can not be tamed, but it is often herded and raised for its resources. In particular, certain cuts of Oncorhynchus meat are considered superb quality, and are often referred to as “Prime Fish” used for specific high-end concoctions.

  • Known Information: Once provoked, however, Oncorhynchus becomes very aggressive along with its nearby brethren. It locks onto the aggressor with its long “saberteeth” and begins draining that creature’s blood. This loss of blood is not too dangerous alone, but when a school of Oncorhynchus attack at once, their would-be aggressor quickly loses speed and stamina from bloodloss, drowning if it cannot breath underwater.

Dino Dossier: Chalicotherium

Common Name: Chalicotherium
Species: Chalicotherium obsidioequus
Time: Late Oligocene - Early Pliocene
Diet: Herbivore
Temperament: Territorial
Domestication
Tameable: Yes
Rideable: Yes
Saddle:  
Command:  
  • Wild: Found in small numbers within the Island's colder regions, Chalicotherium obsideoquus is normally a peaceful herbivore that prefers to spend its days lazing about or playing with it's family. It is very territorial, however, and the entire family, young and old, will turn against an encroaching creature at just the slightest provocation.

  • Domesticated: While many creatures are useful while attacking a fortress, Chalicotherium can be trained as mobile artillery. Its unique playtime habit becomes a rather devastating long-range assault tactic when it is given boulders to throw, rather than snowballs!

  • Known Information: A strange scene to stumble upon is a group of Chalicotherium playing. One odd playtime activity for Chalicotherium is hurling large balls of snow or mud-rocks at each other. Smaller creatures in the area shy away from Chalicotherium during this exertion, for fear of being buried in snow or gravel.

Dino Dossier: Titanosaur

Common Name Titanosaur
Species Titanosaurus vagacastrum
Time Late Cretaceous
Diet Herbivore
Temperament Passive, Unless Approached
Domestication
Tameable Yes
Rideable Yes
  • Wild: Today I witnessed an unforgettable sight: the extremely rare Titanosaurus Vagacastrum. Essentially a walking mountain, it is an absolutely enormous sauropod which has developed armored plates of bone protrusions all over its body.

  • Domesticated: I suspect that a Titanosaur, for all its sheer size, is overkill for a lone rider. Rather, for those elite tribes powerful enough to bend one of these titans to their will, the epic creature is employed as a mobile superfortress, capable of ferrying obscene amounts of weight, structures, defenses, and creatures across the island. Some nomadic tribes even have their main base on the back of a Titanosaur!

  • Known Information: Between these plates and its unparalled size, Titanosaurus is extremely difficult to put down. In addition, Titanosaurus seems outright immune to any sort of narcotic effects. They often inadvertently crush nearby creature underfoot with every step they take. While most sauropods ignore non-hostile creatures, Titanosaurs take issue with creatures invading its personal space. This is probably because they aggressively feed off any and all plants they can find. Titanosaurus eats constantly, which certainly helps recover health quickly, even after fighting off numerous carnivores such as Giganotosaurus.
