Wild

This wasteland’s full of surprises, and not exactly the good kind. There’s something out here that looks like Fasolasuchus, if those proto-crocs could swim through sand like water…

These beasts might pop up suddenly to ambush you, or swim around you fast enough to catch you in a sand-whirlpool. I can't stress enough how dangerous this deathtrap can be! Plus their tails are strong enough to whip up sand to blind predators and prey alike.

If you can help it, I recommend staying clear of those spikes. I think they’ve got acid glands at the base of their spiny fins, and in their mouths as well. Their caustic bite seems to melt through the thickest hide.

Domesticated

One of these monster sand-swimmers would make a great mount, but good luck slowing down something that can shrug off most narcotics. You could try softening one up with explosives, grabbing a spike, and steering it into a rock… But you’d have to be a bit mental to try.

I imagine the adrenaline junkies able to tame a Fasolasuchus would earn themselves a formidable ride through these scorching sands. They seem to have adapted to fighting larger prey, so I'd advise any faso-rider to steer clear of packs of smaller creatures that can swarm over its defenses.

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]

Fasolasuchus

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.

Abilities

Active

Bite 5	The Fasolasuchus bites the target for 55 damage. This attacks applies Effect Name to the target, which increases its damage that it takes for 10 seconds by 2.5%, this effect can be stack up to 10 times, decreasing the target's damage resistance until 25%, the duration also restart with each bite. Can be used every 0.67s by both a rider and the AI.

Tail Sand Throw 25	The Fasolasuchus uses its tail to throw sand at the target for undefined damage. This attacks does different effects depending if the target creatures is tamed or not: If the creature is wild it will flee from the Fasolasuchus until the effect ends (Bosses are not affected). If the creature is tamed it will be unable to attack for the duration of the effect. The duration of the effect depends on the target's drag weight up to 950, which is the highest duration of 10 seconds. Can be used every 30s by both a rider and the AI.

Bury `Space` ???	The Fasolasuchus bury itself under the ground. It cannot bury if it is above some hard surface. Once burried the Fasolasuchus can move freely under the ground, but it constantly consumes Stamina while in movement. If it collides with a rock while it is digging under the ground, it will only collect Flint from the rock.

Ambush Attack 5	While the Fasolasuchus is under the ground it can bite above it and get out of the ground for 55 damage. This attacks has the same properties as the primary attack. Can be used every 0.67s by both a rider and the AI.

Sandstorm ???	The Fasolasuchus starts moving in circles around a small area continuously, making a little sandstorm in the progress. Every player and creature inside that area will reduce its Movement Speed, players also will get dismounted of their mounts. If the Fasolasuchus loses 10% or more of its total Health this action will be cancelled.

Quicksand ???	While the Fasolasuchus is making the sandstorm this action can be used so the targets trapped inside of the affected area start to descend slowly into the quicksand. The damage that this action does not scales with the Melee Damage, however, it is percentage and depends of both the Health and drag weight of the targets trapped. Can be used every 0.67s by both a rider and the AI.

Passive

Venomous Spikes

Similar to the primary attack effect, if the Fasolasuchus receives damage from melee attacks, the aggresor will get Effect Name and it will get multiple stacks of it.

Taming

The Fasolasuchus taming requires skill and resources for the player to complete the tame. To tame a Fasolasuchus players have to wait till they bury and place C4 on top of the mound, ignite the C4 and hop onto the Fasolasuchus, when riding the player must 'drive' the Fasolasuchus into rocks to gain torpidity and ensure the control bar does not reduce to 0 otherwise the rider is dismounted. When riding the Fasolasuchus into rocks, ensure they are not cliffs as these instantly dismount the rider and the process will have to be repeated.

Combat

Utility

Roles

Combatant: The Fasolasuchus has a great combat stats, so it can be used as a combat mount (Level up Health, Stamina and Damage).
- Combat Support: The Fasolasuchus has interesting abilities that can be helpful on big fights such as reduce the target's damage resistance or prevent enemies from attacking (Level up Health and Damage).
- Big Creatures Killer: The Fasolasuchus sandstorm mechanic allows it to trap and damage targets, this is specially efective against big creatures due to the fact that this mechanic effect scales with the drag weight of the targets, but not with the Fasolasuchus' Melee Damage stat (Level up Health and Stamina).
Farmer: While the Fasolasuchus is digging under the ground and collides with a rock it harvest it and only collects Flint from there, making it the only creature in the entire game that can only collets flint from rocks, it is also good at gathering Meat and Hide (Level up Weight and Damage).
Dune Explorer: The relatively fast speed of the Fasolasuchus while digging under the ground along with the fact that medium-sized creatures that inhabit the dunes such as Mantis or Arthroplueras do not attack it makes it an excellent option to scout the dunes in search of Deathworms and Desert Loot Crates (Level up Health, Stamina and Weight).
Land Leveler: While it is digging underground the Fasolasuchus break rocks and trees by just passing under them, this is a good option to free the land before start building there.

Notes

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

The name Fasolasuchus means "Fasola crocodile" and "suchus", greek for crocodile.
It should be noted that the Fasolasuchus's abilities are very similar to Garuga123's Concavenator from the ARK Additions mod.
