Dossier

Wild

One of the stranger creatures in the waters surrounding the Island is Basilosaurus solatiumfecit. It

Domesticated

Despite the hassle of engaging with its ornery followers, many tribes still attempt to tame the Basilosaurus, as its mammalian, warm-blooded circulation provides a rider with perfect comfort from both heat and cold. Being apprehensive in nature, Basilosaurus is equipped with a defense mechanism that prevents it from being stunned or shocked. Alternatively, Basilosaurus is hunted (perhaps too vigorously) for its special blubber, which can be efficiently refined into gasoline!

Behavior

  • Gentle and passive - will not attack unless provoked
  • Often accompanied by groups of Ichthyosaurus and Manta rays
  • Mantas will aggressively attack anyone who threatens the Basilosaurus
  • Ichthyosaurus will flee when the Basilosaurus is attacked
  • Takes damage in deep water due to pressure vulnerability

  • Creates a blood cloud when eating that attracts nearby predators
