Introducing the Yi Qi! The mischievous and strange phantom robber of the Island!

Common Name: Yi Qi
Species Name: Yi qiangdao (Robber's Wing)
Time: Middle to Late Jurassic
Diet: Carnivore
Temperament: Mischievous

Tameable: Yes
Rideable: No
Utilities: Pack Hunter, Thief

Wild:

A rather strange creature, Yi Qi is a dinosaur with bat-like wings and feathers. Due to its appearance, it is often mistaken for an Onyc or a Dimorphodon, although closer inspection shows it is more related to raptors and other dinosaurs.

It is often very playful and mischievous, often flying down from trees or from the skies and snatches items from humans, even at the most critical of times. However, I have found that given enough time, these animals often feel sorry or regretful and return the items to you, given that you survive your ordeal.

Domesticated:

Despite being rather difficult to tame due to its agility and its ability to take away items, it is often extremely useful against other survivors on the island. Weaker then a Dimorphodon in combat, survivors often use Yi Qi to rob enemies of their weapons or their useful items. However, its ability to steal is random and often very low, so it is useful to tame a pack of these creatures to maximize your luck!

Additional Information:

Unlike its counterpart, this creature is able to fly on its own, having developed much larger wings and stronger arm muscles. Still, it often prefer to climb up trees and glide so it wastes less stamina during its daily activities.

Author's Notes:

Honestly, I really want Yi Qi to be in this game. I mean who doesn't love a dinosaur that has bat-like wings? It's definitely one of the most unique animals in the Mesozoic world.

In addition, I think we should have more diversity in temperament, since mainly we only have (Aggressive, Docile, and Skittish) and I would love to see an animal that could troll people at the worst of times, while being extremely useful if you can tame one of these guys.

Sounds frustrating as hell.

It will probably be rare. Not as common as Dimorphodons.
Still, even with that, it's going to be frustrating.

But hey! That's ARK for you.

Well ARK is frustrating because it's buggy and unbalanced, the game-play is not.
This dino sounds like it would purposely be frustrating and I can see some major issues with it in a PvP environment.

Losing your MCraft stuff to someone who just set a dino to go to you while you were cutting down a tree, with no way to defend yourself... Not something I would want to have to deal with.

Luckily, a Yi Qi would be hard to encounter in the wild and when tamed, their ability to steal items is pretty low. It would require a pack of these to really bring out the annoying powers of these dinos.

Also, their ability of steal is very much random. A survivor has no control over what the Yi Qi could potentially steal. All he/she can do is cross their fringers.

As a result, they're more dangerous in the wild than when tamed, since their chances of stealing are higher.

Plus, they're weaker than a Dimorphodon in terms of health and damage. Just bring a Dimorphodon pack or use a pike to kill them.
