Homalocephale

Homalocephale is a small pachycephalosaurid introduce in *The Forsaken ARKs* and created by DinoGamer13

## Data

### Carryable By

Pteranodon, tapejara, griffin, nyctosaurus, quetzal, argentavis, hatzegopteryx, wyverns, kaprosuchus, megalosaurus, karkinos, tusoteuthis

## **Appearance**

**Homalocephales are small pachycephalosaurs, not much larger than a bulbdog. Their heads are adorned with tiny horns and a bulbous dome. The aberrant variant’s head dome glows.**

## **Behavior**

**Homalos are defensive creatures and will get aggressive when attacked. When attacked by creatures larger than a raptor, they will flee in terror.**

## **Ecology and Lore**

### **Dossier**

#### **Wild**

**“Homalocephale nescius, while small and unassuming, can be a right pain. These little pachycephalosaurs are found along the coasts of this archipelago, hunting for berries and food. Their domed heads provide them with both offense and defense. They will often fight their predators of raptors, compies and dilos, yet will flee from anything larger than a raptor.”**

#### **Domesticated**

**“Homalocephales manage to serve two very different purposes, depending on the variant. The normal ones are very useful knockout helpers, using their blut heads to apply torpor, with only a small percentage of actual damage dealt. The aberrant forms manage to exude charge light, much like a shinehorn, bulbdog or featherlight. This variety makes them very useful tames in most locations.”**

### **Habitat Range**

**Homalocephales can be found on the beaches of the ARKepelago, the Bog biome of Reflection, and Aberration’s Bioluminescent regions.**

### **Sociality**

**Homalos are normally found alone, but can and will join together to fight predators.**

### **Diet**

**Homalocephales are exclusively herbivores, and will not eat meat.**

### **Defense Mechanisms**

**The Homalos will headbuff their opponents, often dealing large amounts of torpor. When in a group, they can very easily KO a raptor.**

### **Genetic Alterations**

**The Homalocephale has few genetic alterations with the base variant. However, Aberrant homalocephales have become immune to radiation and even can produce charge light.**

## **Attacks**

* Basic attack: Headbutt: Will hit the target with their heads, dealing damage to the enemy.
* Secondary attack: Blunt trauma: The Homalocephale can be set to this attack in the radial menu. It only inflicts 5% it’s full potential damage, but deals large amounts of torpor.
* Ability: Charge light: Aberrant Homalocephales can produce charge light identically to the quartet from the original aberration and the redone glowbug.

## **Strategy**

**Homalocephales are defensive creatures, so it is easy to simply avoid one. Otherwise, use a carno or baryonyx. These two scare Homalocephales from attacking and aren’t overkill like a rex or spino.**

### **Dangers**

**Beware the large torpor amounts dealt out by a Homalo. This is molst dangerous on a raptor, as they WILL fight back against raptors.**

### **Weaknesses**

**Homalos will flee from any predator larger than a raptor, and have low health.**

## **Taming Process**

**Normal Homalocephales are a fairly normal KO tame. However, Aberrant Homalos are a passive tame, again, like the light pets.**

### **Use**

* **KO helper:  homalos are very useful knockout helpers. Their torpor dealt is massive and they deal minimal damage. Their issue is needing to get close to the target.**

* **Light Pet: Aberrant Homalocephales can be used as another light pet.**

### **Notes/Trivia**

* **Homalocephales name roughly translates to “Unconscious Even Head”**

* **Homalocephale is the first creature to change the taming method with it’s variant.**
