Basic Info

Species

Dakosaurus andiniensis

Diet

Carnivore

Temperament

Agressive

Approaching these beasts with the intention to fight is ill advised. That said, if you best one, you can train it to follow your command. Once Domesticated, the Dakosaurus becomes a multi-tool - weapon, transport, and storage all in one. Given their size it can be a trial just to keep them fed. When these creatures enter their natural hibernation state, they require less to keep them satisfied.

Watch for their bite in any altercation. You must also stay aware of their tails - they are not afraid to use them as a whip. The Dakosaurus is deadly from all angles.

A beast made to hunt and dominate. They are massive, covered in dense muscle and tough skin. Their size does not slow them down. A Dakosaurus can tear through the water and they are relentless once their sights are set on you.

Behavior

Dakosaurus is highly aggressive, often seen attacking other creatures.

Appearance

Dakosaurus is one of the biggest predators in Aquatica, beaten in size only to Tusoteuthis (unless we include alpha variants). Its body has two distinct colors on its back and stomach, with the colors merging on its sides into a stripe pattern.

Base Stats and Growth

Wild Stats Level-up

Type in values of a wild creature to see on which stats it's emphasized. Green values on a high-level creature are very good for breeding. If you have already tamed your creature you can try to recover the breeding stats with an external tool.

The stat-calculator does not work in the mobile-view, see here for alternatives: Apps

Note that after the creature is tamed it gets bonuses on some stats depending on the taming effectiveness. This makes it hard to retrieve the levels on a tamed creature, so this tool is only for wild ones, but gives a first impression, how well the stats are distributed.
