This species was a massive and fierce predator, possibly even more formidable than the larger Spinosaurus that coexisted in the same region. In the world of Pixark, the Carcharodontosaurus is considered a top-tier predator that rivals the Giganotosaurus in power. It shares a massive size and a more aggressive nature, especially when it enters the special "Bloodlust" state. It is easier to control compared to the Giganotosaurus. However, it is less powerful than the Giganotosaurus in terms of stats, and it cannot enter most challenges. To date, no wild Carcharodontosaurus has been discovered in the world of Pixark; all known domesticated Carcharodontosaurus are hatched from eggs obtained by challenging the Mega Carcharodontosaurus. Its eggs can be obtained by challenge the new BOSS Mega Carcharodontosaurus. New BOSS: Mega Carcharodontosaurus A colossal and likely genetically modified or enhanced dinosaur, the Mega Carcharodontosaurus is significantly more potent than its regular counterpart. It possesses a more aggressive temperament, and anyone attempting to challenge it must be well-prepared, as the Mega Carcharodontosaurus is one of the most dangerous creatures in Pixark. Defeating it will drop a fertilized Mega Carcharodontosaurus egg with random levels. Ability 1: Normal Attack, inflicting a "Shredded" state on enemies for 9 seconds (reduces HP regen and stamina). Ability 2: Tail swing, inflicting a knockback effect. Ability 3: War Cry, activated in the second phase. The Mega Carcharodontosaurus lets out a roar that induces "Fear" in nearby dinosaurs and starts accumulating the "Bloodlust" state over the next 30 seconds. For every 20,000 damage dealt, it gains 1 point of "Bloodlust" and also receives a 10-second "Rampage" effect. Each point of "Bloodlust" increases its attack by 5%, and HP regen by 1 per second. When the "Bloodlust" reaches the maximum, it will deal x1.5 damage and an HP regen of 10 points per second. "Rampage" grants the Mega Carcharodontosaurus approximately a 20% increase in movement speed and enhanced stun resistance. Can be challenge at Ancient Wyvern King Challenge Gate.

It was one of the largest predators in the region and was well-adapted to cold environments with its feathers. In the world of Pixark, its long feathers covering its head and neck make it very majestic and stand out. Besides its formidable strength, its unique roar plays a significant role in battles. Spawn biomes: Frozen Land, Crystal Island Prairie Dog [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31873084/17d6b0d80071be9b186cbc3376f44b25e48cbc3b.jpg[/img] The prairie dog is a highly social, burrowing rodent known for its stout and slow-moving build. Despite being physically small and vulnerable to numerous natural predators, prairie dogs exhibit a high level of alertness. When they live in colonies, they often designate sentinels to stand guard and alert the group to potential threats. In the world of Pixark, prairie dogs still occupy a low position in the food chain. However, they serve a valuable role when tamed by humans. Tamed prairie dogs can help alert players to nearby threats, including dangerous creatures or other rival players, by using different alert sounds. Additionally, some players enjoy keeping prairie dogs as pets on their heads whose loud warning sounds can temporarily scare away any approaching enemy. Spawn biomes: Woodland, Grassland [h3]Old Creatures Come Back![/h3] [b]Skeleton Horse[/b] It is a skeleton war horse burning with the flames of hell.
