Giganotosaurus (Ark: Survival Evolved)/KieranH10

* Giganotosaurus
* Experimental Giganotosaurus

## **Summary**:

The **Giganotosaurus** (Or **Giga**) is an extremely dangerous creature from the game Ark: Survival Evolved, the Giga is one of the strongest and most ferocious dinosaurs in the game, being able to kill other powerful dinosaurs with ease thanks to its huge size, bleed-inducing bite, and rage ability.

## **Information**:

**Name**: Giganotosaurus, Giga, Gigant, Varies when Domesticated (Determined by Survivors)

**Age**: Varies

**Gender**: Varies

**Size**: ~43.5 Metres Long | ~120 Metres Long (Comparable to Titanosaur)

**Mass**: ~517 Tonnes

**Source**: Ark: Survival Evolved

**Power Level**: **Ranges**, At least **High 8-C**, likely **Low 7-C** | At least **Low 7-C**, likely **Far Higher**

**Classification**: Gignotosaurus furiosa

**Notable Abilities**: Ark Creature Physiology (Regular, Brute, Corrupted, Tek & R Variants), Large Size (Type 1), Bodily Weaponry, Blood Manipulation & Status Effect Inducement (The Giga's Bites inflict the Gnashed), Berserker Mode & Rage Power (The Giga's rage rapidly increases with every hit it takes, eventually sending it into a frenzy, the Giganotosaurus will enter a berserker rage which increases its statistics), Enhanced Senses (Giganotosaurus supposedly see in Thermal Vision) | Same as before plus; Large Size (Type 2) Acid Manipulation (The Experimental Giga is able to spew streams of acid from its mouth and fire projectiles from its tentacles)

**Energy Capacity**: **Ranges**, At least **Large Building Scale** (Much stronger than the likes of Alpha Deathworms and Wyverns, can contend with and kill Reaper Queens and Carcharodontosaurus), likely **Small Town Scale** (Mei-Yin's Giganotosaurus was able to fight and kill the Megapithecus), **Higher** when Domesticated | At least **Small Town Scale**, likely **Far Higher** (The Experimental Giga is far stronger than even the strongest of regular Giga's, and is able to kill Titanosaurs alone. As one of Rockwell Prime's strongest summons, should be stronger than the Guardians of the Arks, considering Rockwell Prime is more powerful than Overseer Rockwell.)

**Speed Level**: **Ranges**, At least **Superhuman** Travel Speed (Can sprint at almost 17m/s in its lowest level), **Higher** when Domesticated, **Subsonic** Attack Speed (Can hit Survivors with their attacks) | At least **Superhuman** Travel Speed (Far larger and faster than regular Giga's), **Subsonic** Attack Speed

**Strength Level**: **Ranges**, At least **Grade K** (Should be capable of pushing around others of its kind. Mei Yin's Giga was capable of grappling with the Megapithecus), **Higher** when Domesticated | Likely **Grade M** (Comparable in size to Titanosaurs, much larger and likely stronger than regular Giga's)

**Resilience Level**: **Ranges**, At least **Large Building Scale**, likely **Small Town Scale** (Can compete with others of its kind, and overwhelm incredibly powerful creatures on this scale), **Higher** when Domesticated | At least **Small Town Scale**, likely **Far Higher**

* **Resistances**: None Notable

**Arsenal**:

* **Standard**: Saddle (If Applicable)

**Intelligence**: **High Animalistic** (Every creature on the Arks inherits an intellectual capacity similar to many modern day domesticated animals, much higher than what their prehistoric incarnations would have possessed. All creatures are able to follow basic commands (Such as directions, attack calls, and more) without fail. Creatures are also able to perform basic tasks for survivors, such as gathering resources. Some creatures are even able to wield basic weaponry or utilize tools. Many creatures show signs of being domesticated in the past according to Helena)

**Weaknesses**: If tamed, it does not cause opponents to bleed upon bite (Granted, this could be Game Mechanics), the Giga's Berserker Mode will cause it to disregard its allegiance and turn on its allies.

**Stamina**: **Immense** (Creatures native to the Arks are shown to continue fighting through large gashes and near fatal damage)

**Range**: **Tens of Metres** via size alone

**Attacks**:

* **Bite**: The Giganotosaurus uses its huge jaws to perform a powerful bite, inducing the 'Gnashed' status effect, which causes opponents to bleed rapidly, slowly losing health.
* **Berserker Rage**: Upon taking damage, the Giganotosaurus will build up rage, upon reaching its critical point the Giga will fall into a berserker rage which increases its strength, ferocity, and endurance.

* **Acid Spit**: The Experimental Giga has a mutation which allows it to spew streams of acid towards its prey.
* **Tentacle Projectiles**: The Experimental Giga is able to fire projectiles from its Tentacles which

**Environment**: The Island, The Center, Ragnarok, Extinction, Valguero, Crystal Isles, Genesis Ship, Lost Island, Fjordur

**Key**: Regular | Experimental

1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 Due to their Physiology, all creatures native to the Arks are granted Ranging Tiers. This is because of the levelling system and varying statistics being canon to the lore of the game.
2. ↑ 2.0 2.1 2.2 2.3 Survivors are able to Domesticate creatures and manually level up Creatures statistics to their liking, Survivors can focus on an individual statistic and increase it much more than would naturally allow.

Thanks to the intuition of Survivors, Domesticated creatures often end up stronger than their wild counterparts, and exceed them in at least one statistic.
3. ↑ The Experimental Giga is able to fight and kill the 3 weaker Titans in-game, however this is likely a case of Game Mechanics, as the Titans would have no place on the Genesis Ship in the story of Ark.
