TLC guy here, I have a lot of time on my hands.

I have done the Pelagornis, Carnotaurus, the Diplodocus, and now the Troodon onto the list. Though this one super easy.

Changes to appearance and stats:

Probably slightly smaller, give it better ai so a wild one will attack from behind and that’s about it, probably more damage.

Taming:

Yeah just make it a knockout tame, the whole sacrifice thing will deter a lot of players from taming this thing. It’s a giant like the Carcharodontosaurus. It’s a smaller creature mainly use to knockout players.

Abilities:

I would it make a shoulder pet, which would allow you to use the scan ability on you.

This things main idea is to hunt players. So I would have it where you can throw it at a player, where it will cut out there throat. This doesn’t work if they are wearing armor like chitin or above or if they hit them before they land.

Another ability I would add is venom. This venom, would cause a hallucination where you see all the other creatures around you attacking you, if there aren’t any creatures around you it will just be troodons. This venom would also cause nonstop run till you get knocked out. Where you can find them with the scan ability. Tames would get affected by this venom, and they would just start running away and then get knocked out by it.

Overall I think that’s all that’s needed to make it something people would use, while not making it broken.

Thank you if you read this far, sorry for any grammar mistakes, and I’m probably gonna do the gallimimus next.
