Spotted Telfinas
“ This animal is strolling along a salt pan, a swamp, a beach, a reed, or a lake. Because of these spots, this animal was more intelligent than members of its own species. It is superior than others in that it can produce green adhesive blobs and sleeping-contained water blasts.”

The Spotted Telfinas or Striped Telfinas (Delphinoguivernus maculosa), is a fictional species of flightless and aquatic wyvern-like spinosaurid introduced in Worldcraft series.
The word Telfinas, is a corrupted word from Elves and this word: "dzelfín" means "porpoise".
The color pattern of the Spotted Telfinas is a deep blue body covered in dense white speckles and stripes (countershading + disruptive camouflage in dappled water light), which is how it distinguishes itself from the common relative. Compared to the typical morph, their build is sleeker and marginally more nimble. Open-water and reef-edge specialization are suggested by the spotted pattern. They may have utilized their taller, more patterned sail for intimidation or communication. Their head has a long, crocodile-like snout with conical teeth that are closely spaced. Their forelimbs are webbed, fin-like, and adorned with horizontal dots above the forelimb. They have clawed digits for gripping prey. Its main means of propulsion was its flattened, fin-like tail.
Telfinas is a large delphine-like wyvern, evolved from theropods. Same posture resembles both Spinosaurus, ichthyosaurs, Yi Qi and even Enchodus. The color skin and color schemes for Telfinas was peach belly, light blue to royal blue color, with dolphin-like dorsal fin, whale tail fluke, and their limbs are even webbed wings and feet. Spotted Telfinas' features have light blue stripes, because of mislabeled as "spotted", with light blue gradient below the royal blue color skin.
The Spotted Telfinas was an amphibious creature that could walk or hunt in both water and on land. It was also a high-speed swimmer with tail propulsion that could go great distances across the ocean. The Spotted Telfinas, in contrast to its own relative, have a sedative bite because their upper teeth quickly paralyze prey without killing it by delivering a poison that induces slumber. A greenish-white pressurized water beam is fired by this spinosaurid, causing blunt force impacts and inducing lethargy or coma. In contrast to its common species relative, it has the ability to expel a sizable brown organic material that contains bacteria, digestive enzymes, and irritants. This is done to ward off predators or overpower intruders.
When the Spotted Telfinas shake their bodies, a sticky, gel-like substance known as "Green Choke" Secretion is released from the body or wings. This adhesive material immobilizes targets, expands in wet, and may impede breathing, simulating drowning. When the Telfinas are damaged or under stress, this capacity increases. The spinosaurid could quickly reverse course in the water, suddenly leap from underneath the surface, and move surprisingly quickly on land.
Because both Common and Spotted Telfinas have salt glands—organs in some animals that discharge excess salts to preserve internal balance—they were developed as semiaquatic wolf species that symbolize both freshwater and saltwater. To transfer salt from the blood into the gland, salt glands use active transport, which makes use of ion pumps like the sodium-potassium pump. Some birds use their noses to expel the salty solution.
Unlike its common relative, this species is hunted by ambush and incapacitation rather than just physical force in the coastal settings of Afro-Eurasia and Everrealm. The Spotted Telfinas was an apex predator in mangrove, swamp, reef-like valley, and coastal habitats. It consumes fish, shoreline animals, and marine reptiles. Their function is similar to that of a cross between a crocodile, a heron, and a dolphin. Their main predators were probably dragons, larger wyverns, saltwater and Nile crocodiles, orcas, and sperm whales.
The Telfinas' reproductive cycle is similar to that of its spinosaur relatives; unlike ichthyosaurs and real dolphins, it is oviparous. To lay clutches of four to six eggs, they go back to remote, rocky beaches. These eggs are ferociously guarded by their parents, who paralyze terrestrial egg thieves with their anesthetic saliva.
Female lays eggs like other theropods
Nests near water (riverbanks, coasts)
Parents may guard nests, similar to crocodilians
The evasive, crafty, highly clever, and perceptive Spotted Telfinas is able to differentiate between threats, neutral humans, and connected comrades. Similar to this relative, tamed members of this species are loyal and protective, forming close ties (particularly with long-term handlers), while wild animals are territorial but avoid needless combat.
Habitat destruction (coastal development).
Exploitation by groups like Templar Order, Assassin Brotherhood, and Abstergo Industries.
Overuse as biological weapons.

The Spotted Telfinas inhabits Afro-Eurasian shoreline habitats such as mangroves, estuaries, shallow seas, guyots, coral reefs, atolls, and continental shelf. This species thrives in Everrealm's Eastern Continent in warm and cold ocean shelves, bioluminescent seas, mangroves, estuaries, coral reefs, atolls, and coral-like valley environments.
When they coexist, Spotted Telfinas predominate in intricate coastal zones and Common Telfinas dominate open seas. Because of their appearance, skills, and behavior, they probably avoid one another or compete at territorial boundaries.

Then you climb up on the back of a spinosaurid once it has landed. If you give a fish or piece of flesh to a spinosaurid, it will take off, but don't worry, you won't fall. The third person is now in view. After the initial feeding, pause for a brief period before feeding it again.
Alternatively, to tame a spinosaurid, survivors must grab one of its eggs. The kids must be fed any kind of milk after hatching from these eggs, which can be obtained from a variety of sources. The fact that the survivor is always within 10 radii of the hatching egg causes all spinosaurids to become domesticated as soon as they emerge from an egg. The spinosaurid can be educated using a whip, worms, animal flesh, fish wrapped in seaweed, or fish eggs if it hasn't already been.
