Fan-Made Dossier: Nigersaurus

[Imperial Diet]

Common Name: Nigersaurus

Species: Nigersaurus Specialitas

Time: Creatceous

Diet: Herbivore

Temperamant: Passive



Wild:
The common knowledge was that Brontosaurus was the only sauropod on Ark, until a discover was made. Nigersaurus Specialitas is a small sauropod growing only to about 21 ft long. They tend to be found in the dense jungles of Ark, hidden away from most other animals. They are usually found in small herds ranging from 3 to 12. A strange adaptation of Nigersaurus is it's broad mouth, allowing it to gather tons more berries in a single bite. Although seemingly helpless, Nigersaurus has quite and interesting defense. When confronted by a predator, Nigersaurus pairs up with it's fellow Nigersaurus, and together they make deafening bellows. A lone Nigersaurus can be loud, but when paired up, they have been known to cause serious head trauma. If that doesn't work, they tend to turn and flee, using their tails to hit and scare off the predator.

Domesticated:
Nigersaurus is one animal that isn't very helpful tamed alone. Even though their berry collecting rivals that of Triceratops. But once many have been domesticated, they can protect against hungry predators surprisingly well. There has even been an incident where a large group of tamed Nigersaurus warded off a young Tyrannosaurus! ALong with that, they seem to have incredible weight capacity, meaning they are able to transport materials large distances aswell as being able to defend themselves.

Author's Notes:
I have seen many dossiers have large sauropods, but not really a single one about a smaller sauropod. This is one big reason I chose Nigersaurus. Also, their sound idea came to me when I was thinking what could make them less helpless. Anyway, hope you Enjoyed this Fan-Made Dossier!

It sucks, but they said they would only consider one sauropod :(. Maybe one day someone will mod other ai with different models for fans!

[Imperial Diet]

When you mean consider, do you mean only Bronto? Or just one other sauropod?

[I Want MY Burd]

As for your idea. It's good!

Just curious: what did you have in mind for its other stats?

Nigersaurus has now been added to the Directory

I wouldn't touch this dino with a 10 ft poll due to the amount of people who would purposefully pronounce it wrong.

[Omnicide]

I completely thought this was going to be a joke due to the name. I'll just come right out and be the first to admit it.

If it's going to be a problem, he could just make it a different small-sized sauropod

[Imperial Diet]

For stats, it would have pretty high health for it's size, high weight, slow stam, medium speed, and medium torpor. Anyway, I used the full name for it's common name (For obvious reasons :D)

[LordRayken]

I'm not sure about the name of this dinosaur...

If your talking about the name, then this is how you pronounce it, 'Ni-jhir-sor-ihs'.
