Alligator

An alligator is a large carnivorous animal added by the Odyssey DLC.

Acquisition[edit]

Alligators can be found in temperate swamps, and tropical swamps. They can either be tamed by a handler or self-tame in a random event.

Summary[edit]

A female alligator produces 1.5 alligator egg every 12 day when fertilized. Alligators will not lay unfertilized eggs.

Analysis[edit]

With no default trainability without a sentience catalyst, they aren't good for anything but combat however they are only middling at that. With less wildness, higher melee DPS and health scale, and faster move speed, grizzly and polar bears and wargs are better combat animals. Their advantages in the water are rarely relevant, and are almost always insufficient to make up for their deficiencies.

Training[edit]

This animal can be trained as follows:

Guard:
Attack:
Rescue:
Haul:

*As of version 1.1.2610, all animals can be tamed. The percentage of likelihood of success depends on factors such as the Animals Wildness Percentage, Pawn Handling Skill, and others. More information can be found on the animals page.

↑ Coverage determines the chance to hit this body part. It refers to the percentage of the super-part that this part covers, before its own sub-parts claim their own percentage. For example, if the base coverage of the super-part is 100%, and the coverage of the part is 20%, 20% of hits would hit the part, and 80% the super-part. If the part had its own sub-part with 50% coverage, the chances would be 10% sub-part, 10% part, 80% super part.
↑ Target Chance is the actual chance for each part to be be selected as the target when each part's coverage has been taken into account(I.E. Neck covers 7.5% of Torso but Head covers 80% of Neck so it actually has only a 1.5% chance to be selected). This is not pure hit chance, as different damage types propagate damage in different ways. See that page for details.
↑ Note that capacities can affect other capacities in turn. Only the primary effect is listed. See specific pages for details.
↑ This is the part that everything else connects to to be considered 'connected'.
↑ If Moving drops below 16% a pawn cannot move.
↑ A Bite attack of Power 10, cooldown 2.6.
↑ A Scratch attack of Power 8, Cooldown 2.

↑ Note: This is the actual base average derived from the melee verb system updated in 1.1.2610, it may sometimes disagree with the listed value in the in-game infobox.
It may also change depending on the stats and the melee verbs available to the pawn.
↑ Assuming a melee hit chance of 62%
↑ Chance for attack to be selected. It may change depending on the melee verbs available to the pawn.
