Upon entering a killing frenzy, its speed will increase.), Power Nullification & Status Effect Inducement (The Carcha is able to inflict the Shredded Debuff on opponents with its bites, which reduces the effectiveness of any healing abilities on the victim), Repulsion (Its tail swing is able to send large creatures like Diplodocus or Giganotosaurus flying backwards), Empowerment (Can increase the speed of those around it with its roar)

**Arsenal**:

* **Standard**: Saddle

**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**: Killing Frenzy and Bloodrage will slowly deteriorate if the Carcharo doesn't continue killing.

**Range**: **Tens of Metres** with Melee Attack via Size Alone

**Attacks**:

* **Bite**: A simple bite attack that inflicts the Shredded Debuff, which causes a victims healing abilities to be less effective.
* **Roar**: The Carcharodontosaurus will use all of its built up Bloodrage into a powerful roar which grants any of its nearby allies a speed increase.
* **Tail Whip**: The Carcharodontosaurus spins around, hitting everything around it with its tail, which forces them backwards.
* **Killing Frenzy**: Every time the Carcharodontosaurus kills an opponent, it gains a Killing Frenzy buff, which increases its speed and makes it immune to Stuns until it runs out.
* **Bloodrage**: Similar to its Killing Frenzy, the Carcha's Bloodrage is granted upon every killing blow it deals, with every kill, the Bloodrage will increase the Carcha's natural Regeneration rate, and increase it's damage. This ability caps at 100 consecutive Kills.

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. It should also be noted that Domesticated creatures are given Saddles by Survivors, which further boost Durability.
