Erythrosuchus Guide
Erythrosuchus is yet another one of the ARK's creatures influenced by Pyria, gaining a hatred for survivors and pyrian races alike. When domesticated, it's useful as a mercenary or warband's creature, adaptable for many tasks.

Wild Erythrosuchus cannot be tamed. Beware finding roaming groups of Orcs with their own Erythrosuchus! These wild erythrosuchus are saddled, and killing them lets you gain a marginally improved saddle over basic primitive.

Erythrosuchus can be obtained by sending Neutral sentients out on hunts! When they return, there is a chance they will obtain Raided eggs. Use these (consume them) to spawn a randomly-generated fertilized Erythrosuchus egg!

////General Info
-Can be told to sit via Radial Wheel
-Reduces the weight of Scrap Metal, Silica Pearls, Cadaver Parts and Magicrystal in inventory.
-Left click bite. Deals great damage.
-Right click headbutt, stationary attack which deals knockback.
-C key stomp. Cannot be used with insufficient stam, has knockback.

////Training

Erythrosuchus can cycle through training options with Right Control. Initiate training with O. Once training begins, you cannot cycle training options or pick a new one.The following training options are below:

Anti-Dark Mentality
Damn the Darks, their selfishness and vile behavior! For those actively fighting the darks, this is for you. Killing 100 Dark Sentients rewards you with +25% Resistance and Damage towards them.

Anti-Light Mentality
Tired of the Light's Zeal, or the do-gooders meddling in your affairs? This one's for you. Killing 100 Light Sentients rewards +25% Resistance and Damage towards them.

Anti-Neutral Mentality
Sometimes, the worst side is those who refuse to be on one. Killing 100 Neutral sentients grants +25% resistance and damage towards them.

Anti-Boss Mentality
Up for more of a challenge than a crusade? You more for seeking glory than war? This mindset's for you. Erythrosuchus will gain +25% damage and resistance towards Alphas, Bosses, and Mission Dinos when training is complete. Mission Dinos grant 1 point, Alphas grant 5, and Bosses grant 10.

Anti-Undead Mentality
Really tired of the zombies groaning in your backyard? Slaughter 100 of them to gain the Anti-Undead Mentality, increasing damage and resistance to Undeads by 25%.

Basic Training
Completed in four stages, each can be done individually, but in order:

Basic Training Phase 1: Endurance Training
Simply run around with your Erythro, and you will occasionally, slowly build bar progress. Once at 100%, gain the ability to jump with spacebar, at a stamina cost and having a cooldown.

Basic Training Phase 2: Gorge Training
Kill targets 250 drag weight or greater to slowly build a penchant for abundant meat. Once full, Erythro gains an Argent-like healing buff when its bite consumes corpses.

Basic Training Phase 3: Tremor Stomp Training
Kill targets 550 drag weight or greater for to build up progress towards unlocking Tremor Stomp. Tremor Stomp augments the basic Stomp attack with a new AoE effect of base 10 damage, scaling with melee. Targets hit by this AoE that are 200 drag weight or less get thrown into the air!

Basic Training Phase 4: Parry Training
The ultimate ability for dealing with pesky fantasy-soulsborne wannabies. Augments the Headbutt, granting it longer cooldowns, but becomes able to parry targets 550 drag weight or larger, stunning them in place! Successfully parry for shorter cooldown times.
