Mod:Crystal Isles Dino Collection/Crystal Unka

The Crystal Unka is a creature in the Crystal Isles Dino Collection mod.

Behavior
Crystal Unkas patrol both the ground and air near the desert. They are highly aggressive and will notice the player from a decent range. They have decent speed and can chase for long distances. They have crystal spines starting from the back of their head to the tip of the tail.

Appearance
The Crystal Unka resembles a small dragon with glowing patterns, with four legs and two wings. As most crystal creatures do, they come in a variety of unusual colors. The have dragon-like wings about the size of their body with a claw protruding from each wing. They have many teeth exposed outside of their mouth as well as medium sized horns.

Combat
This section describes how to fight against the Crystal Unka.

General
Crystal Unkas are creatures that rival the wyvern. They have much more health than a wyvern and do a lot of damage with both their bite and fire breath.

Strategy
It is best to fight an Unka with a high level flying mount that has decent health, speed, stamina, and damage. The best way to take the least amount of damage is to have a flyer that is fast enough to dodge its wave of fire breath.

Dangers
Crystal Unka's fire does a lot of damage initially and then continues to burn over the next few seconds. Being able to evade its breath could be the difference between life or death.

Weakness
Crystal Unkas are usually weak to anything that can kite it, like a good wyvern or a player on a fast mount with a long range weapon.

KO Strategy
One simple strategy is to have an upgraded Longneck Rifle with preferably Shocking Tranquilizer Darts. Get a fast flyer, like a Crystal Wyvern, and get close enough to draw aggro. Fly to a landing spot far enough for it to have to fly a bit to get to you but not far enough to lose its interest, dismount, shoot it as many times as you can before it gets too close, then fly to the next spot. Repeat until it gets knocked out.

Roles

 * Jack of All Trades: Aside from having all around good stats, the Crystal Unka is good for travel on air, ground, AND underwater. This makes it one of the most versatile mounts in the mod and possibly the game, and a go-to mount once a player is strong enough to tame one. They are also able to take off from the water without having to go on land first.


 * War Mount: With high health and damage, along with unique maneuverability, they make one of the best combat mounts in all environments. Their flames can light the ground on fire, temporary blinding players on the ground. They can use both primary and secondary attacks in the air, on the ground, or in the water. Their fire breath costs less stamina than a wyvern's, so it is possible to outlast another person riding one.
