Sauropod IMPROVEMENTS

[Jurassic Tyrant King]

A lot of us wants to see more sauropod dinosaurs being able to defend themselves against large carnivores and other species that might consider them food so this is basically a small glimpse of what Frontier could implement into the game for all the sauropods to put into the game. Doesn't have to be Exquisite but something very similar as what we see in this video should be awesome.

For the smaller species of sauropod dinosaurs like Amargasaurus and nigersaurus maybe something about the same with smaller carnivores striking them and injuring them as a result. I don't know maybe something similar to the stegosaurus attack animation.

would love to see that.

Since our compys have also received new animations later, with the upcoming patch the stats of the sauropods will be adjusted, there may be real hope that such an animation will be introduced one day.

Nice.

I completely agree, these giant animals didn't only have size as their only defense some had armor, whip-like tails, tail clubs and maybe even just kicking small creatures. They are always depicted as gentle giants but media like Prehistoric Planet show that these creatures can be very dangerous if need be.

Agreed

Some thoughts of the Sauropods in the game from paleontologists. Something they shared was that the look of them seem plain. Interesting skins would go far for all the sauropods.

• More behavioral displays.
• Using the animals mass and weight as defense against attacks.
• More interesting skin patterns.

Sauropod defense animations

I really wish they would get proper defending animations against large carnivores. Also fighting animations against each other.
But I honestly don't have hope anymore. We are near the end of support. Can't see this getting implemented sadly.

I totally agree because for some reason sauropods need to at least show some tail whipping thwarting a theropods attack with just a simple whip of its tail or even better forcing the Predator to back off if it comes too close and you see the Brachiosaurus for example looking behind it and then you see it waving its tail warning the Predator back off and then it backs off. it would be an interesting mechanic to see.

I agree, there should be some variety in their animations too really. What would be really cool is if large sauropods like Brachi, Dread, Alamo, and Mamenchi could stomp on "Tiny" animals like Compies which is a nice throwback to the Lost World game too. Neck and tail swipes for medium/large carnivores and maybe dominance fights or something.
