Atlas

Atlas Concept Art.

**Atlas** is a very late major boss that starts off as a friendly, only for you to battle him in the later on in Dinopedia: The Game. He is the rivaling brother of former boss, and summon, Tonk. He is incredibly fast, supporting the power of flight, and is also incredibly fast with attack speed.

HEAVY WIP

## History

Atlas wasn't always called the name he has now, but was originally called Tucker by his parents, family members and friends. He and Tonk were siblings, and they were great friends, until their parents were arrested for murder. They were sent to an experimentation facility seven miles away from their home as they had nowhere to go.

The researchers working at the facility did painful experiments on the two, cutting their bodies, injecting them with unknown serum, which eventually molded them into the forms they have now, and gave Atlas abilities he was never able to use, such as mind reading, and flight. The experiments eventually grew more and more painful, which broke the bond between the two until they hated eachother. Atlas eventually couldn't take any more of the pain, and attempted to escape by breaking a large hole through the room he was experimented in. He eventually found a room with a portal inside, escaping through it. Atlas was sent then to an ancient underground city beneath Cephalustown that was there for the span of three million years, and still had people and society there. When the people there saw his appearance, they believed he was a god.

Seeing an opportunity getting people to love him after he was abused in the facility, Atlas manipulated the society into confirming he WAS indeed a god. They worshipped him, and Atlas manipulated them more to do more of his bidding, even if it meant his servants had to die, or if the task was extremely hard. Atlas gave nothing in return to his favors being done, and it was like this for several years.

After meeting the player for the first time, Atlas plays it friendly and gives the player tasks to do, such as bringing him food and other things. The tasks eventually get harder though, such as bringing the "Anti-Inanis" syringe and etc. Since the player brought Tonk along, however, Atlas treated him harshly and gave him more harder tasks. After a while, the player finds out Atlas is trying to get the supplies to assasinate Tonk, and overthrow the leader of the ancient society, as Atlas is only second in control.

When Tonk and the Protagonist find out, they confront Atlas in a temple reserved for him, trying to tell him not to overthrow the leader. Atlas, in response, gets frustrated with the two and attacks them, slamming them outside of the temple's wall. After you make it outside, Atlas calls the citizens of the ancient society to attack you in a gigantic, wave based boss battle.

After you have beaten the boss battle, you face off Atlas in the same battleground. He grabs Tonk using his harpoons, and throws him into a building. Tonk is rendered unusable until Atlas reaches half health. You eventually beat him, but Atlas retreats, telling Tonk and the Main Protoganist that it's not over, which is a warning for phase two.

## Personality

On the outside, Atlas seems like a very kind, caring, and giving person, but in the inside is actually a cold, manipulative, selfish and pyschotic individual. Before any of the trauma or experiments happened to Atlas, Tucker (Past Atlas), was very talkative, but loyal to Tonk, and just as equally giving as he was loyal.

In combat, Atlas is relentless and plays mind games with his opponent, and insults them. He also insults them for past trauma they had using mind reading, and his personality can be compared to Homelander, or Eric Cartman.

## Moveset

### Goldstruck Lascerate

Atlas slices the opponent multiple times, dealing bleed and neuropathy infliction.

### Aurum Throw

Atlas throws multiple crystals at the opponent, barrage attacking them.

### Bloody Uppercut

Atlas "uppercuts" the opponent, slicing the bottom of their jaw, dealing a good amount of damage, and also inflicting bleed.

### Puncture

The harpoons on Atlas stab into your body, pull you towards him, and then Atlas slashes you with his armblades. You must spam-click "E" to remove yourself from the harpoons, as they don't remove on their own.

### Tearnado

Atlas's harpoons stab into your body again, then Atlas spins, crashing you into structures and other things, which deal damage as you hit them. You once again must spam-click "E" to remove yourself from the harpoons, as they don't remove on their own. This attack deals a ragdoll effect.

### Ground Crystallize

Atlas summons massive crystals out of the ground, damaging you if hit by them. The giant crystals then explode into pathfinding crystals thrown at you, which deal damage.

### Gash

The attack is a combo attack, where Atlas first spin-slashes the opponent, then normally slashes them, and then Atlas ends it with a vertical-airborne spin-slash. This renders great damage, bleed and ragdoll infliction.

### Retribution

Crystals are summoned out of the ground, which fire gold beams at random places, trying to hit you.

### Gold Banish

Atlas punches the enemy, which sends the victim floating in a transparent, gold form of themselves. In this form, the opponent cannot attack, or move. The effect lasts for 4 seconds.

## Stats

Being a unique boss, Atlas is the owner of many unique passive traits.

* Osteoderms: Atlas' ankylosaur build gives him lots of armor, making water attacks, bladed attacks, and conventional weaponry less effective against him.
* Boss' Resistance: Atlas is a boss, which makes the gimmick attack infliction of knockback and ragdoll ineffective.
