Aberrant Variant coming soon!
Basic Information:
- Walliserops spawn on beaches, at about the same frequency as Oviraptor / Moschops.
- Walliserops also spawn on Scorched Earth, around the rivers at the center of the map.
- They spawn at about the same frequency as Kapros, and spawn in duller brown colors, compared to their more vibrant colors on other maps!
- Because of their spiky exoskeleton, most creatures ignore the Walliserops, however it can still defend itself if provoked.
- You can harvest Oil, Silica Pearls, and Chitin from them just like regular Trilobites.
- Just like vanilla trilobites, Walliserops are bottom walkers, and do not drain oxygen. (Don't throw one off your shoulder in the middle of the ocean!)
- Walliserops will only breed underwater! However their eggs can be hatched and offspring raised on land.
Taming: Taming a Walliserops is straightforward. Drag corpses to it, like an otter, but make sure you drag the right one! Walliserops are picky eaters and will ask for a random corpse from the following list:
- Coelacanth
- Dodo
- Dilo
- Lystro
(Level does NOT matter for taming effectiveness or taming amount. Also corpses can be from tamed dinos! They do not have to be wild corpses.)
Walliserops on Scorched Earth will ask for a random corpse from the following list:
- Coelacanth
- Jerboa
- Pegomastax
Abilities:
While Mounted on the player's shoulder, the Walliserops provides the following utility:
- Walliserops deals recoil damage (similar to Arthropleura and Kentrosaurus) to any attackers.
- This damage is not reduced with armor (e.g. if something bites you with no armor or with full flak armor, the reflected damage will still be the same, despite the incoming damage being reduced.)
- If a creature under 150 drag weight (carriable by an Argentavis) attacks the player while they are carrying a Walliserops, it will fire off one of the Three Spikes protruding out of the front of its head, applying a Fear Debuff that lasts 10s.
- After firing, the spikes will gradually regenerate over 60s.
Spawn Codes:
- Walliserops: cheat sdf Walliserops [1 Tamed, 0 Wild] [Level]
