Species

Ceratosaurus punctura

Time

Late Jurassic

Diet

Carnivore

Temperament

Extremely Aggressive

Wild

While I'm surprised I haven't encountered them sooner, I'd rather them just vanish all-together. Ceratosaurus is as ruthless as they are quick. While not the most damaging carnivores you'll encounter, they are certainly some of the most persistent. I've seen these creatures even exhibit a sort of... stalking behavior unlike anything else I've seen on The Island. While they may not make themselves known to you immediately, they certainly know where YOU are.

Domesticated

The spines on Ceratosaurus have a very unique and powerful trait: Venom! This hemotoxin has the bizarre reaction with blood, making it incredibly nutritious to Carnivores. The more intense the venom infection, the more nutritious the blood becomes. I've witnessed tribes that have managed to tame these beasts use it to great effect against larger threats, and even the Island's guardians! Perhaps this desire to devour envenomed prey can be used against them...?

Behavior

Abilities

Left click to bite. Cerato can turn to bite opponents to their side. Right click is the spine attacks. You have a horn thrust and a tail spin. You can attack opponents to your side or behind you with the tail spin. These attacks are how you apply the venom debuff.
If you hold Right-click while above 75% speed, or right-click from a slide after reaching 75% speed, your Cerato will perform a more powerful horn thrust attack

  • Left - This key triggers a simple bite. Ceratos can turn to bite opponents to their side.

Utility

Roles

Boss Healer - The Ceratosaurus's "blood explosion" heals creatures more the more the Cera attacks.

Taming

Taming Method

To tame, you will have to hunt Ceratos and gather their venom spines. At level 75, you can learn to craft the Hemogoblin Cocktail. This is a special concoction you feed to your tamed dinos that will attract Ceratosaurus. When a Ceratosaurus attacks the cocktailed creature, it will slowly become blood-drunk. When fully blood-drunk, you can safely passively feed them. Higher level Ceratos will take longer to get drunk, and take more feeds to tame.

Notes

For information pertaining specifically to the real-world Ceratosaurus, see the relevant Wikipedia article.

  • Ceratosaurus is the second creature originating from a mod to be added to the base game, the first being the  Fenrir.
  • Ceratosaurus's design, appearance, and abilities may be a reference to or inspired by Monster Hunter's "Espinas"'"[2], a large green, thorny, wyvern that shoots toxic/poison fireballs.
    • Ceratosaurus also shares Espinas's poisonous spikes/thorns that are all over its body.
  • Ark's Ceratosaurus's eyes are reminiscent to that of geckos.
