Sarcosuchus

7.3 Update=

7.3 UPDATE
Sarcosuchus (meaning 'Flesh Crocodile') is a cathemeral (meaning active day and night) semi-aquatic prehistoric creature that was added in the 7.1 Update, the 'Flappy Pteranodon' update. They grow to approximately 1.5 blocks wide and 12 blocks long in 12 Minecraft days, and there is no sexual dimorphism between male and female. Newborns are 2.1 blocks long, and are fully grown in 12 minecraft days.

Sarcosuchus, like almost all other mobs, has a mood that can drop or be raised through various ways. Having a low mood means it may attack or avoid you, having a high mood will make it passive. Sarcosuchus requires the highest mood to not attack on sight. Right-click it with a DinoPedia to see what its mood is at.

It can drop sarcosuchus meat, sarcosuchus osteoderms, leg bones, arm bones, rib cages, vertebrae, claws, feet, and skulls upon death.

Like most other mobs in the mod, they do not spawn naturally in the world and must be created by the player.

BEHAVIOR
Sarcosuchus are semi-aquatic creatures that will break blocks weaker than iron. They are at home in the ocean, and are very fast in water, but are somewhat sluggish on land, though they are by no means bad hunters. Unless they're in a good mood, they are extremely aggressive and will attack anything that gets too close to it even if not hungry, and when damaged they will open their mouths. When they are hungry, they will seek out prey to eat. If it is brought down to 8 hp when it is at least 12 days old, it will enter "sleep mode" and lie down.

If they manage to catch something while swimming (including the player), they will perform a special attack, a death roll where they will rapidly spin around in the water with the creature in its mouth causing massive damage. This will kill the majority of mobs in a single spin.

Sarcosuchus will interact with scratching posts, bringing their mood up significantly. They are cathemeral, active throughout the day and night, allowing them to ambush most other sleeping diurnal species.

Adult Sarcosuchus can breed every five minutes as adults if there is a male and female present. The breeding probability is handled by how many individuals are nearby.

TAMING
To tame an adult sarcosuchus in the intended way, the player must attack it until it reaches 8 hp (a DinoPedia is recommended to determine the health of the creature). At 8 hp, it will go into "sleep mode." While the sarcosuchus is asleep, the player must right-click it with an aquatic scarab gem. Once this is done, the sarcosuchus will wake up at full health, now tamed. It cannot be ridden. It is ordered with a skull stick.

FEEDING
Sarcosuchus are carnivorous piscovores that will hunt most other mobs, and can also be hand-fed any type of fish (alive or cooked), Sio-Chiu-Le fish spawn, and any type of meat. They will also feed from feeders that have meat in them.

7.2 UPDATE
Sarcosuchus (meaning 'Flesh Crocodile') is a prehistoric creature that was added in the 7.1 Update. They grow to approximately 1.5 blocks wide and 12 blocks long in 12 Minecraft days. It can drop sarcosuchus meat, sarcosuchus osteoderms, leg bones, arm bones, rib cages, vertebrae, claws, feet, and skulls upon death. Like most other mobs in the mod, they do not spawn naturally in the world and must be created by the player.

BEHAVIOR
Sarcosuchus are semi-aquatic creatures. They are equally as mobile on both land and in water. They hunt when hungry and will defend themselves when injured. When they are untamed, their eyes will be red. Once they are tamed, their eyes are yellow. If it is brought down to 8 hp when it is at least 12 days old, it will enter "sleep mode" and lie down.

Sarcosuchus breed every 5 minutes as adults. The breeding probability is handled by how many sarcosuchus are nearby.

TAMING
Taming a sarcosuchus is supposed to be as difficult as taming an allosaurus or tyrannosaurus, but a glitch allows the player to tame it from birth or to tame it by hand-feeding.

To tame an adult sarcosuchus in the intended way, the player must attack it until it reaches 8 hp (a DinoPedia is recommended to determine the health of the creature). At 8 hp, it will go into "sleep mode." While the sarcosuchus is asleep, the player must right-click it with an aquatic scarab gem. Once this is done, the sarcosuchus will wake up at full health with eyes that are no longer red. It cannot be ridden. It is ordered with a bone.

FEEDING
Sarcosuchus hunt when they are hungry. Both tamed and untamed sarcosuchus can be hand-fed all meat except for rotten flesh and all types of fish.
