The games first herbivorous marine mount.

Basic Info
Pezosirens are the quadrupedal ancestors of the manatee, dugong and the recently extinct Stellar's Sea Cow. A combination of the creature's poor quality meat and surprising capability to throw their weight around has seen the pezosiren go ignored by many of the Island's predators - they're simply not worth the time to kill for how fatty the meat is. Also being one of the Island's only herbivorous marine creatures leaves me with no doubts as to how they've managed survive as long as they have.
 * Appearance

Pezosirens are fairly docile creatures, and would sooner flee than retaliate to combat. Their land speed is comparable to the dimetrodon; while their base swimming and sprint-swimming speeds are comparable to the land speeds of the phiomia. Their first bite is exceptionally powerful and will leave most aggressors stunned, but they lack the endurance to sustain assaults (although they will take a beating).
 * Encounter

Similar to the Trilobite, they are capable of sticking to the ocean floor - but will kick off to swim if engaged.

Domestication
Pezosirens have a unique twist on the standard Passive Tame: instead of pressing E to Feed, you instead have to drop valid food items on the ground. The Pezosiren is naturally attracted toward discarded items, and Taming Affinity will be credited to whoever dropped the item.

 * Usage
 * LMB.svg - Headbutt.
 * RMB.svg - Chomp. Deals 3x damage and stuns the target. 10 second cooldown.
 * W - Capable of moving forward. Turns based on facing direction, with a turning circle similar to a swimming Ankylo.
 * SPACE / C - Capable of ascending and descending on the spot.
 * X - Capable of "landing" on the floor of the ocean (or aquatic platforms), becoming functional like a terrestrial dino. While connected to the ground they will use their walking speed. Kicking off from the ground grants a burst of speed that decelerates to normal over a few seconds, and will knock back surrounding creatures similar to the Wyvern's Gust ability.


 * Roles
 * Aquatic Mount - A fairly durable combat mount that is capable of stunning-and-running. Does not use Stamina to swim.
 * Bush/Coral Harvester - Their primary attack will harvest from bush and coral nodes (coral nodes would subsequently be interactable by any bush-harvester, but the Pezosiren would have an affinity for it).
 * Hoover Mouth - To date, the only creature that is capable of picking up loose items on the floor (stones, pearls and dropped items).
 * Ocean Floor Mount - To date, the only tameable creature that is capable of sticking itself to the ocean floor. This can be used at any depth, similar to flying creatures.
 * Automated Hoover - While set to Wander Enabled, the Pezosiren will autonomously pick up nearby loose items, as well as harvesting from bush/coral nodes. The Pezosiren, similar to other automated dinos, can still perform this function while encumbered provided either it or the valid resources are moved nearby.
