Oviraptor

Dossier Wild: Oviraptor Philodator is a small-to-medium sized carnivore, common in the jungles and beaches of the island. Despite being a carnivore, Oviraptor’s primary source of food is eggs, which it steals from nests. Unlike any other creature, Oviraptor seems to be able to surreptitiously steal these eggs usually without attracting the attention of the irate mother. Domesticated: Too small to fight or ride, Oviraptor is still one of the more commonly tamed creatures on the island. Its pheromone release ensures an increased stream of eggs from nearby mated wild creatures, for breeding, eating, or cooking kibble. And Oviraptor will autonomously do the dirty workRead More →

Dossier Wild: Kairuku Waitaki is an amazingly docile and friendly creature, to everything but fish. Honestly, I’m not quite sure how Kairuku manages to stay populated across the island’s colder climes, with the many predators stalking these frozen lands. Domesticated: There is no reason to tame Kairuku for combat, since they are useless in a fight. Still, Kairuku are regularly tamed for their cuteness and friendly nature, and the fact that their bodies run extremely hot. Just standing near Kairuku can help keep a survivor warm through long, harsh nights on the icebergs. Known Information: It is weak, and has only one small defensive trait: suspended in Kairuku blubber are small, dense particles that act as aRead More →

Dossier Wild: Found only in the deepest depths of the waters around the island, Eurypterids are dangerous and adaptable Arthropods. As likely to hunt as they are to scavenge, a Eurypterid rarely has difficulty finding food to keep itself nourished, even at the bottom of the ocean. Domesticated: While Eurypterid are not intelligent enough to be tamed, this doesn’t mean they are without utility for tribes. They are a wonderful source of Chitin, and their digestive tract often contain Silica Pearls. They sometimes even have incredibly rare Black Pearls used for manufacturing mysterious technologies, making them among the most valuable creatures on the island. Known Information: A Eurypterid’s threat does comes not directly fromRead More →

Dossier Wild:What magic created the scarabidae gigas, I cannot say. What I can say is that this creature is a perfect symbiont for advanced human tribes. Domesticated:Scarabidae makes me think humans have been on the island for a long time. Why else would a creature evolve to be such a perfect pet? Most tribes jealously protect their scarabidae, whom are handily tamed with the skilled use of some well-handled feces. These wondrous little organic biofactories are truly a sustainable, green, eco-friendly source of resources for living off the land. Oil becomes gas, which is generator fuel. Fertilizer means crops, which is human fuel. The scarabidae can power all aspects ofRead More →

Dimetrodon

Dossier Wild: Dimetrodon Calorector is a much calmer predator than most on the island. Because it lives off smaller prey than humans, it generally ignores anything much larger than a Coelacanth. Dimetrodon is one of the few carnivores on the island that could be classified as reasonably friendly in the wild. Domesticated: If Dimetrodon was a bit larger, or didn’t have that massive sail, it would make a decent mount. However, its main use to survivors is to utilize the sail’s insulating capabilities. Just being near a Dimetrodon gives excellent protection from the heat and the cold, which has saved my life through more than one ice blizzard in the frozen mountains!Read More →

Dossier Wild: Apparently they live somewhere on the beach. He can be attracted by a large concentrations of Dodo. I first encountered this creature while watching the hunting of another tribe. He suddenly appeared and attacked hunters. How could such a monster be born at all? Domesticated: Good beast of burden, but too stupid. It seems the last who tried to tame this creatures was eaten. Additional Information The DodoRex is a fan-made dino for which also a fan-made dossier was created. However, Wildcard has announced that the DodoRex will make its appearance in the game on special events (like April 1st?). They even releasedRead More →

Compsognathus

In: Dino Dossiers
With: 0 Comments

Dossier Wild: One of the smallest predators on the island, Compognathus Curiosicarius can be seen as a pet, a pest or a threat. While alone, Compsognathus is not dangerous or aggressive. In larger packs, however, it remembers its carnivorous nature. After a group of Compsognathus grows to a certain size, their pack mentality always seems to embolden them to “attack”. Domesticated: Compsognathus’s can be tamed quite easily, so some tribes keep them for little more than friendly companionship. However they gain increasing significant attack power and speed when close proximity to other Compsognathus, as their pack aggression takes over their behavior. Additionally their distress call carries quite far, rapidly alertingRead More →

Trilobite

Dossier Wild: Like most Trilobites, Trilobite Conchadurus is an opportunistic carnivore that feeds on anything smaller than itself which it can get a hold of. A sluggish creature, the Trilobite’s best defense is its incredibly hard shell. This seems to be a common adaption for the slower creatures of the island. Domesticated:The Trilobite does not seem to have enough intelligence to be tamed. This doesn’t mean it doesn’t have its uses among resourceful survivors, though. Trilobites are easily one of the best sources of high quality chitin on the island, assuming one doesn’t wish to venture into the dangerous caves. Known Information: Trilobite is not a very good source of food. The creature seems to be made mostly out ofRead More →

Dossier Wild: Titanomyrma is one of the smaller creatures on the island; A frightening thought, when you realize it is the size of a dog. A hive-minded herbivore, Titanomyrmausually goes about it’s business unless provoked. When attacked or threatened, it releases a chemical which alerts all Titanomyrma in a large range to help fight the aggressor. Domesticated: Because of its hive mentality, I’ve not seen any successfully tamed Titanomyrma on the island yet. Fortunately for lone survivors, separated Titanomyrmacan be easily picked off for a small supply of Chitin among other valuable natural resources. Known Information: I’ve seen two varieties of Titanomyrma: Drones and soldiers. Drones are smaller, faster and land-bound, and they harvest for theRead More →

Titanoboa

Dossier Wild: Found only in the dark caves of the island, Titanoboa exornantur is an aggressive creature that prefers cold dark rocky areas. This extremely large snake, while being a member of the Titanoboa family, does not constrict its prey as most boas do. This adaption may come from coexisting with giant insects. Domesticated: As they appear immune to knockout poisons, Titanoboa exornantur is basically impossible to render unconscious. Because this crucial step can’t be done, taming this can be a challenge! Known Information: Being immune to knockout poisons, and being unable to pierce the thick chitin of the insects, the species have learned to coexist. They often even hunt largeRead More →
