- Wild
The Dugong, often referred to as the Sea Cow, is a medium-sized fat creature similar to a manatee. Typically found grazing in the Seagrass Field feasting on seagrass and berries. Often sought out by predators for its tasty meat and slow speed. Sea Cow will defend itself from any such attacks by headbutting opponents and slamming them with its tail.
- Domesticated
The Sea Cow is a fairly useful creature for gathering large amounts of berries and seagrass using its flat grinding teeth and slurping mouth. While not great at proactive attacks, the Dugongs' tail is powerful enough to stun small creatures and scare off others. It can also take a fair beating and swim away just fine. While its slow speed makes it tedious, the Sea Cows exceptional endurance makes it a great mount for transporting resources. Other than its uses in transport, some will butcher these creatures for incredibly delicious meat, and while yes it is very good, I find it somewhat barbaric to use your very own trusting tames as your food, but to each their own. Personally, I prefer to just kill ones from the wild. Sadly hardly any is ever left for me, as most of it goes toward befriending wild creatures or making meat cakes.
Appearance
The Dugong is a large sea mammal, closely resembling a manatee with a forked tail. It has a cow spot pattern on its back. Males tend to be much more colorful.

Behavior
Dugong spawns in 2-3 groups. They can spawn on land or in water and are found mostly in arctic areas. They are passive and will fight back, and are attacked commonly by Orkronosaurus and Megalodon. They fight back with their tail swipe and simple bites. The tail swipe affects creatures differently depending on their mass. Smallest creatures are stunned for 10 seconds, Medium creatures are stunned for 5 seconds, Large creatures flee, and huge creatures are slowed.

Combat
Dugong packs are very powerful, mostly due to their tail attack, which can stun you off your mount or make unridden creatures flee. They don't have amazing turn radius, or DPS however. It is best to take out Dugong from long range, or riding a strong mount that would get force fled, as the flee doesn't stop a ridden creature.
Strategy
Long range KO weapons are advised, as is bringing plenty of narcotics to feed them with, as dugong has a rather high torpor drop. Killing its pack members, and nearby carnivores, or using a trap is recommended to keep it and yourself safe.
