Mod:ARK Additions/Concavenator

The Concavenator is a dinosaur in ARK Additions.

Behavior
The Concavenator never strays far from the dunes of Scorched Earth, Ragnarok, Aberration, Extinction, Genesis: Part 1, and Crystal Isles. The Concavenator can dig into and swim through the ground.

The Concavenator also has a pack bonus and can stir up sand using its tail, which will inflict the Sandblasted debuff. it tends to employ a Hit and Run tactic when doing this.

Appearance

Combat
This section describes how to fight against the Concavenator.

General
When encountering the Concavenator, it usually dives beneath the ground and subsequently approaches the survivor at alarming speed. The Concavenator then proceeds to barrage the survivor with its attacks, lingering beneath the ground until it is forced out by explosives.

Weaponry
Ranged Weapons are highly recommended due to its Sand Clouds preventing direct melee attacks.

As for Settlements Auto Turrets prove the most effective.

Dangers
It's Dust Cloud can potentially end a player and his/her mount, because it can drain certain stats of the creature and the player, like health, stamina, oxygen, as well as speed debuff and etc, but if the player is wearing SCUBA Armor, the Dust Cloud is ineffective towards the player, but the creature takes the damage.

A Concavenator near a hoard of Tamed Dinos can severally injure or kill them due to it creating a line of Sand Clouds while the Dinos attempt to chase after it.

Weakness
Explosives like s are able to knock the Concavenator out of the ground and out cold, you can either kill it while it is unconscious, or rather tame it instead.

Any Creatures lacking a Oxygen Stat such as are presumably unaffected by the Dust Cloud's Oxygen Drain (Verify)

Taming Method
To tame a Concavenator, the survivor must knock it out of the ground using explosives, at which point it can be tranquilized through normal means. When forced out of the ground, Concavenator will receive some, which may or may not knock it out.

Although the Concavenator can be knocked out utilizing normal means, inflicting using explosives is recommended, as the time the Concavenator spends out of the ground is minimal. Additionally, its declines rapidly, making the use of tranquilizers more likely to damage, and possibly even kill the Concavenator. Explosives such as s may prove optimal in knocking the Concavenator out, as one can place a bunch of them in one spot and subsequently detonate them. As the Concavenator nears its maximum, it is wise to detonate one at a time, avoiding the risk of damaging it as it falls unconscious.

It is recommended to bring a fast creature like the Gallimimus or the Sabertooth, when at a distance from the creature chasing you, place a  when being chased by a Concavenator at a distance, and make sure you don't make it lose it's aggro, or else it will stop chasing you and leave you alone, when the creature is 5-15 meters away from the, detonate it and the creature will be forced out of the ground and out cold.

It is recommended to use, because the Concavenator will make Dust Clouds in the taming process, as said in the dangers section, and the dust clouds take away certain stats like, health, oxygen, as well as stamina and etc.
