TemperamentTerritorial
- Wild
Dreadnoughtus was a newly-described fossil genus in my day, named for the idea that it was so large it must’ve had nothing to fear in its own time. The current species does its namesake proud, and may even be able to defy the Titans ruling our post-apocalyptic world. A big believer in picking on creatures its own size, Dreadnoughtus will ignore anything smaller than a Spinosaur to focus on larger threats. It absorbs the fury of incoming attacks to charge up its uncanny, Element-disrupting bellow. Even then, this bruiser shows extraordinary patience, waiting until the last possible moment to come roaring back.
- Domesticated
Once tamed, Dreadnoughtus will gladly shoulder your heaviest artillery and carry it -- and you -- into battle, on a platform big enough to earn that ‘dreadnought’ name. Your walking war-machine will swallow boulders (or cannonballs!) to spit back up as acid-coated ammo. If you’re going to war with Titans, it just makes sense to recruit a titanic creature with a grudge against them. Your Dreadnoughtus ally may go down fighting, but not before softening up the adversary for a killing blow. Best of luck, and give ‘em Hell for me!

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.[1]
Dreadnoughtus
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.

Titan Slayer
Whenever the Dreadnoughtus is near to a Big creature it constantly gains 
Titan Slayer buff, increasing the 
Damage dealt and the damage resistance, the increase depends on the Drag Weight of the big creature from 5% up to 50% at 1000 Drag Weight or more.
Disdain
Whenever the Dreadnoughtus receives certain amount of damage in a short period of time it stacks a 
Disdain buff, being able to stack them up to 20 times. Every stack increases the EMP Roar damage and its effect duration, but the stacks disappears after the attack.
Platform Saddle
The Dreadnoughtus has a platform saddle, allowing the players to build on its back.
Free Movement
The Dreadnoughtus can freely move on all directions, including forward, backward, left and right.

Roles
- Titan Killer: The Dreadnoughtus gains Titan Slayer buff whenever it is near a big creature, receiving up to +50% extra damage and damage resistance when a creature of 1000 Drag Weight or more is near, making it excellent for killing most of the Titans. (Level up Health and Damage)
- Walking Mortar: The Dreadnoughtus is able to carry artillery on its back, making it helpful in ranged attacks on enemies or Titans. (Level up Health, Weight and Damage)
- Hard Knockout Taming Tool: The Dreadnoughtus' Vomit Cannon attack is able to knock out Hard Head creatures (
Titanosaur, 
Rock Elemental, 
Karkinos and 
Astrocetus), with the plus that it increases the damage done by the cannons that it vomits based on its Melee Damage stat. (Level up Damage) - Cargo: The Dreadnoughtus has an excellent base
Weight stat, this makes it a good option to transport heavy supplies. (Level up Weight) - OSD Crowd Control: A well-raised Dreadnoughtus with plenty of level-up points in melee, an average health pool of 100k, and a massive AOE attack that causes knockback, is an effective horde controller if positioned correctly at a choke point where it can almost bottleneck the corrupted horde coming from one route on its own. (Level up Melee)
- With its already high stats stacked with many damage and damage resistance buffs listed, mutations for players who want to make their Dreadnoughtus deal even more damage and hold more health, and traits to increase its damage, one Dreadnoughtus with these buff, mutations, and traits, one can cut purple drop corrupted like butter.
- Paired with Yutyrannus' set to auto courage and mammoths mounted on its platform saddle, a Dreadnoughtus' damage, and resistance can be boosted further on top of its Titan slayer buff and mate boost, making it a tough cookie even to purple OSD corrupted.
- Paired with a Fasola, the Fasola can add 25% more damage once it gets enough bites in (10).
- Paired with a Deinotherium herd, the male can add a 15% damage buff and females can add a 15% damage resistance buff
- Paired with Carchars, a Dreadnoughtus can be good at softening the corrupted coming in so riders on Carchars can quickly gain momentum in their blood rage buff.
- Paired with tesla coils set to volatile, a Dreadnoughtus and all surrounding allied dinos can deal 2.5x damage against corrupted.
- (Only if servers allow specific structures to be placed on platform saddles)
- With its already high stats stacked with many damage and damage resistance buffs listed, mutations for players who want to make their Dreadnoughtus deal even more damage and hold more health, and traits to increase its damage, one Dreadnoughtus with these buff, mutations, and traits, one can cut purple drop corrupted like butter.

Notes
For information pertaining specifically to the real-world Dreadnoughtus, see the relevant Wikipedia article.
- The species name for Arks Dreadnoughtus, "recalcitrans", means "defiant against, restraint, or difficult to manage".
- Also in real life, Dreadnoughtus's name means "fears nothing" in Greek.
- The element parts on the Dreadnoughtus's neck may be a reference to the air sacs of Prehistoric Planets Dreadnoughtus, in the documentary the sacs were used to create impressive displays to intimidate rival males and attract females.
- It's elements given it's breath ability is also reference to Legendary Godzilla Atomic Breath.
