Introduction.

Basic Info

Appearance

Ambulocetus spawn in two varieties, similar to the Gigantopithecus and its standard and yeti varieties.

  • Cool-colored variants spawn in the Snow Biome (sky, slate, white, black, speckled, etc)
  • Warm-coloured variants spawn in the Southern Islets (brown, brick, white, tan, parchment, etc)

Males are significantly larger (in the rotund sense) and have more base health; while the slender females have more base speed.

Encounter

Ambulocetus generally spawn in groups, with males being considerably rarer than females, forming harem-like social structures.

Within the water, Ambulocetus are only aggressive in nature toward kairuku unless provoked, and are naturally playful among themselves, wild Ichthyosaurus and human tribes (including tames).

On land, by contrast, the males are highly territorial (similar to the Gigantopithecus), while females are defensive.

Domestication

Stats
  • Combat - Similar stat distribution to the Castoroides.
    • Offense: High base damage and attack speed.
    • Defense: Moderate health but poor armor.
  • Carry Weight: Moderate.
  • Walking - Can walk and sprint at the same speed as the Castoroides.
  • Swimming - Does not use stamina to swim but cannot sprint. Requires oxygen.
Usage
  • LMB.svg - Bite.
  • RMB.svg - Bolt. The Ambulocetus surges forward at an incredible speed for a short duration, until it strikes a target or exits water (similar to the mantis).
  • WASD Movement - Capable of moving forward, backward and strafing.
  • Real-time Cursor Rotation.
Roles
  • Water Mount (Mobility and Combat)
