I can imagine mixpacking players using monolophosaurus as a hunting dog to find other players
That was my thought processes about the matter
It would make sense honestly. Ravens track prey for wolves, and in turn get to eat their fill of whatever the wolves kill. I can see Monos developing a similar relationship to some other carnivores that might have trouble tracking or chasing prey.
@@Crakinator i think mixpacking isnt bad as long as it makes sense, like troodon using its venom to make X herbivore a easier prey for other carnivores, and in trade it gets good food
@@Crakinator Yeah but wolves are mammals with complex brains and ravens are incredibly smart in comparison to other birds
I’d imagine something similar with austroraptor, people using them to check if water is clear of Deinos and eventually other semiaquatics
the two monos having trouble with a singular beipi seemed concerning at first, but after learning that even jaguars hesitate to attack giant anteaters, whos claws can dig through termite mounds, the reasoning begins to make sense. though I doubt beipi has claws that strong, a tussle with the smaller theri shouldn't be taken lightly.
Really liked the vid, cant wait to see more in the future.
Yeah!!! Monolophosaurus went from being canon and absolutely out in the wild in Jurassic world and now getting its own concept in the isle
Canon?
@@Patrick3183 Yes, Camp Cretaceous is canon
The one bit I'm worried about is it being so weak, it ends up primarily tracking animals and trying to get other stuff to kill said target.
Essentially becoming a mixture of raven, raven, bloodhound, and skunk (but that's only IF nothing is added)
I believe that this could be interesting if its a crow like creature good suggestion
Yeah be cool. I can imagine a utah pack tolerateing one of these guys to use as a tracker, kinda like ravens and wolves.
@@ambrosianapier7545 That would be awesome actually tbh- them surviving off of meat scraps and the utahs tolerating them because without them, they wouldn't be able to find their food at all.
I don’t believe it’s weak just a strategist, it is brittle to balance its snot and maybe it is weak to bleed since it’s so skinny none of that was hesitation it was distracting the biepi so it’s partner could bite it don’t over exaggerate everything just cuz u think it’s something like that
Ngl it def cant b weak its the same size if not a little bigger then dilo and probably had a stronger bite too but i can see them making it mad weak
the fact that they look scared to attack beipi doesn't mean they have a weak attack, for me it means that they have a weak defense and they will play on tracking then hit and run. Or maybe the picture is realistic because even if a predator can kill his prey they also want to avoid being hit. There is also a pciture of a solo mono against a tenonto and it doesn't seem that he is afraid of it ( and we know tenonto is a strong one actually)
100%. Xzauger constantly does that weird uncharitable thing where if an animal defeats another in the concept art, it somehow now means that this defeated animal is garbage and weak and will always lose to the creature which defeated it in the concept art.
Like the spino concept showing it landing a claw swipe on the deinocheirus. He spun that into a strange argument that this now means deinocheirus is too weak to ever win and spino is now broken and OP and can kill everything with zero challenges.
It’s odd. I never see that. I just see an animal acting realistically on a confrontation and it’s just a picture of one specific encounter detailing that animals abilities or behaviors and says nothing about how often they will win or lose. Much of that is player skill when talking of two similarly sized animals.
First, Mono being in the isle and getting his concept makes me unreasonably happy and second, I feel like the two individuals trying and failing to hunt the Beipi are juveniles. Mono is around 2 meters tall and 5.5 meters long while Beipi is around 7 feet long so I think the two Monos are too small to be adults. They can still prove that they suck at hunting and fighting but I don't think they're so incompetent that a Beipi is a threat to a full grown adult. Especially since the one Mono is around the height of a Tenonto. Just wanted to voice my opinion on that
Should be noted in concept art the dinosaurs act like animals and not necessarily how players would behave playing the dinosaur in question. While Mono is more than a match for Beipi, it is a natural realistic reaction for them to be hesitant from getting a swipe with those claws meanwhile players would not show such caution.
I can see monolophosaurs with its tracking scent "mines" and offensive "spray blast" attack being one of the most powerful human hunting dinosaurs in the game. Set a scent "mine" in compound areas you know humans will likely travel through and if the spray has the potential to blind opponents like hypsi's does- makes it have a chance of confusing even armed humans.
I can see Monos building relationships with other carnivores similar to ravens’ relationships with wolves. Ravens find and track prey for wolves, and in turn get their share of whatever the wolves kill. Maybe some carnivores will have difficulty tracking or chasing prey, and the experienced ones will partner up with Mono players who can assist with those tasks like little hunting dogs.
I wish instead of simply having scent "traps" that mark things that walk through them they could mimic the scent of diet plants with their scent to lure prey into an ambush. Maybe they would need to first find and eat a source of diet plant in order to produce the scent making it a unique partial "omnivore"
Does anything like that exist in reality
@@Patrick3183 From a little research it happens with some arthropods and plants, for example some bola spiders mimic female moth pheromones to attract male moths into a trap
You know creatures like this makes me want them to implement a sort symbiotic mechanic. Some species could have a symbiot slot that only a certain other species could fill. The symbiot would be part of the group, see their name but can’t talk to.
Mono is a baby Anjanath confirmed.
if humans actually get added itll have a good niche along with troodon as a human hunter
Mono's crest is much wider and boxier than Dilo's thin pair, and since it's also an extension of the nasal bones, I thought it would be a cool mechanic for mono to use it as a resonating chamber.
Like Para's crest.
Mono could be a small underdog carnivore who has a voice much louder than it might appear, able to bluff larger carnivores into abandoning their kills so it can scavenge, or scaring away a predator trying to eat it.
They could even just go all out, and give troodon's mimicry (which it apparently isn't going to get on its release) to mono, so it has a unique playstyle of being a stealthy trickster, running circles around all the other dinos and coming out on top with no one else being the wiser.
With this playstyle, mono being weak would actually work in it's favour, since it can use loud noises and mimicry to handle other dinos in combat without being too strong.
But no, instead we get a sneeze mechanic that looks ripped straight from HodariNundu's art, and an unfinished version of what could've been a cool carnivore.
Disclaimer: I love HodariNundu's art but he does have a weird thing for dinos shooting stuff out their noses lol
Can't really have a bluff because players would pick it out very quickly and mimic is already being given to troodon
@@JadeIsPresent That's what I'm saying, since troodon isn't getting mimicry on its release what's the point, it already has venom to make it unique, give mono the mimicry ability
As for bluffing, yeah fair point but would you rather it just sneezed on stuff as its unique mechanic
Guess that's what happens when you try to have a roster of over 50 playables *_and_* try to make each one unique
This might sound now crazy but humans might use monos as tracking dogs even if it’s crazy it could happen 🍞
Bro imagine trailing a scent thinking it’s a dryo or hypsi and then ending up bumping into a rex
I think a few things that would improve this dino would be firsty the snot acts as mono's own mud. So it can roll around in the snot and remove it's scent and heal it's own bleeds.
Also the Snot should be able to trap and stick smaller dinos and humans like a web or glue. That way it can trap things, and infest human structures laying traps for humans and protecting it's nests.
It will never be released so dont worry about it
😂
I kinda imagine the concept art hints at not mono being weak, but beipi Being extremely dangerous to smaller animals, kinda like how us humans are very wary of small cats that are trying to attack us, they are small but that doesn’t mean they can’t hurt us.
Great video!
Super unique! It gives a lot of info on its ability but I wonder how strong it is
i think mono is supposed to just be hell for small tiers and younger dinosaurs, pretty much having soft wall hacks on it's prey. i also think the mucus could help locate larger more threatening predators to keep away from them. tho 2 mono's against a beipi is a joke.
I can see such a creature teaming up with a bigger carnivore in a symbiotic relationship. Like how wolves and ravens work together.
I think it be cool to have some creatures with a symbiotic relationship part of their design.
I could see them being a super annoying hit and run. Spit, bite, run, wait then return to bite and run again denying the target healing while ensuring those in its pack can safely rest and then track down the target
I mean I can still see Mono being competent, it's a Utahraptor sized animal and will probably have similar stats, maybe it can have a decent bite force compared to other things it's size.
60-90 damage per bite can go a long way if they make it agile enough.
mono might be a small prey specialist taking primarily rabbits, chickens, frogs, goats, Dryo and Homalocephale and maybe the occasional Beipi if they’re feeling lucky or carrion and not larger prey to avoid direct competition with larger carnivores which would just see it as potential prey but if it took larger prey larger carnivores would actively try to kill them. Of course this is just my opinion though and the other dinosaurs are gonna be controlled by real people so they’re probably gonna kill them anyway
Im excited for it and I think u missed a few key details in the concept. In the part where its hunting the beipi u can see above they are hunting at night. I also dont think they are struggling that much with the beipi (especially since they havent suffered any major damage) but i think they are taking adventage of its lack of vision. Seeing as the one that beipi has its eyes on is backing off while the other is going for the kill. Secondly i think it appears to be a predator that hunts small prey and sometimes go for (sorta) samesized prey. Though i am guessing it is trying to blind the larger prey to gain an advantege to land a hit. Overall it seams to be a midsized (close to utah size so from that im guessing it will be smaller that Dilo) nocturnal carnivore that rely on stealth, scent and blinding prey and might be able to stomach rotten corpses given the state of the corpse that is shown.
It could have saliva like that of a komodo dragon, a few 4 bites and after about 20 or 30 minutes the target becomes weaker and "accessible" to the monolophosaur which would be a good use for its tracking ability, transforming it into a dinosaur of patience gameplay
I am just wondering why the devs are wasting time and money into making another dinosaur with the same niche of a dilophosaurus except it appears to be worse in every aspect...
@Nik Nikkersoon why would the fans want such a shitty creature (game wise)?
the teno carcass in the concept art may be the same one that got spit on, so i think that the spit could maybe be a dangerous and fatal "virus" or bacteria that kills anything if untreated
I am thinking that with all of the small dinos capable of burrowing, Mono players will just put the sent puddle right outside of the burrow so that when the player inside comes out, they will immediately get the sent on them and will be able to be tracked.
I won't call Dilo weak
But Mono
She will reply at the mercy of others.
Probably they will be placed/forced into a specific biome
With a high AI/Player Homalo and Dryo population to check and hunt on.
Maybe momo will only be useful to later Tribesman by making Mono spit-tipped arrows and tracking down another player's dinosaurs.
Who knows
3:19 look at the Allos neck, the scars kinda match the ones in the theri concept, could this be the Sam allo?
For me it's an easy C tier nothing too special maybe a bit much but for a concept of one of my favorite dinosaurs it's good
Son demasiadas especies de dinosaurios.
Yo eliminaría de la lista a 8 dinosaurios que me parecen innecesarios y fácilmente reemplazables por otros animales que están en el juego.
Por ejemplo, el galli, Maggi, Adaceratops, Mayasaurus, Homalocephale.
Eliminar a esos de la lista, ayudaría a que el juego se desarrolle más rápido.
Monos should be symbiotic with other larger apex dinos.
They should scrap some of the venomous dinos there are to many tho had a new idea for NEW DINO very hypocritical after saying get ride of some but what ever Sinornithosaurus which is the only actual dino to be thought as venomous plus it would be able to glide and jump way higher plus if it rain they couldn't glide and are not that fast at running because of all the feathers so if caught in the open plains it could get caught or at least put in Microraptor
Acidic spit, its simple and easy to implement especially for the animal in question. Just have it be a toxic AOE attack that acts similar to the dilophosaurus spit from primal carnage combined with the venom effect in game. A ranged attack based playable would actually bring something logically new to the game and possibly be fun to play both against and with. Or if you want to be lame, you could just have it use its spit "attack" similarly to a short ranged pepper spray version of hypsi's blind mechanic.
I think that it will be hard to implow ment correct
mono seens to fit a coyote nich
I thought ceratos were coyotes
This creature give me special ability support vides. Most effective when teamed with a larger carnivore.
Hmmm... well the beipi one shows 2 working together (one distracting while the other goes in) and the Beipi seemed to have been caught completely by surprise. I wonder if their mucus will act as a scent hiding mechanism for other dinos. Allowing mono to surprise their prey as well as sneak around right under larger carnivores noses. Not saying I like it or dislike it... I think there are way too many dinos planned for the game but I think it *could* work.... in 10 years when they release it 😆
Though I do have a very visceral distaste for anything that blows snot rockets.... so I will probably never play this dino
I don't believe it will be weak I believe it will be a more intellect strategist maybe not the best but still cool and rugops i speculate wont be very viable as unlike carno another abelisauroid its not fast and cant be a brute force hunter like cera so what do yall think rugops will be like
If I played as that creature I would attempt to team up with a bigger carnivore. Be like their tracker pet.
I would like to some true symbiotic teamups in the isle. It’s more realistic than every species to themselves.
@@ambrosianapier7545 idk if that would be aloud if it was that would kinda discourage me from playing it cuz how would u convince it not to eat u
This game is all about concept art and the "future" and "imagine this and that" but not actual game.
I don't really feel that excited by this.
Like, we have...other mid tier carnivores.
I get this is just a concept but like, how many mid tier carnivores do we need?? I don't mind things having like, skins and such but like...how many types of dinosaurs are we going for here?
50+
Why cant the devs bring an apex already???????
pretty sure no one wanted this... think we all wound rather trike or maia or sucho or deino chierus or literally any other dinosaur
If dryo and hypsi can survive, then mono will have no issues. This reoccurring complaint of “HIw WILl X SuRvibE?!” That bandwagon Isle haters do whenever they realize the dinosaurs concept is flawless and it’s ability is extremely useful, is tiresome.
How will it survive?
Idk. By being very fast for its tier, having a ridiculously useful ability like pinpoint tracking, a blinding defensive attack to stun attackers, and the best scent in the entire game making finding prey of all sizes the easiest of all Carnivores..
Doesn’t sound like it’ll be uniquely difficult to survive, to me.
Honestly... I really disliked this concept. Sneezing feels weird, but maybe that'll be changed to spit for something else. The one that I really disliked though... is rugops. Why are we still here... just to suffer? Honestly, rugops and homalo should've both been scrapped. Also, are they actually going to add 60 dinos? Like why? What's the point?
I know, with only 100 players on a server the ecosystem will not be balanced unless they make good ai that spawn/despawn to keep a species number at a certain level. Other than that I guess they want gameplay as varied as possible. I do like stealth builds, fun being sneaky, also fun to be the juggernaut once in a while.
RUGOPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
