I know there's already a million of these threads, but I'm using this one as my personal thoughts that would make bio more viable to play.

  • #1 Make bio toxic to bite with being toxic to eat. The bio toxin is not at all a deterrent when players can just choose not to eat the poor dragon. The only thing that may deter players from messing with bio is by getting toxin from biting them. Not just the tiny mushroom toxin. We all know that does nothing to any dragons. This should give a toxin effect that messes up your controls, which makes it harder for you to aim and react while also providing an opportunity for the bio to flee. I also find the idea funny to watch your bully stumble into a lake after facing the consequences of their actions. Dragons can still use bile to kill bios, but requires a bit more thought and tactics to do so. What fun is it to hunt prey that literally has 0 chance of survival? A toxic bite makes both hunter and hunted have a bit more fun with hunts.

  • #2 Give the bio a bite. A small bite for the dragon is not suddenly going to make it a PVP dragon. There are still much better options for PVP. This also wouldn't qualify as P2W. A bite that can barely damage hatchlings can hardly be considered an advantage over other players. If you want PVP, choose a different dragon. A bite will give the bio a last defense to go out fighting as many cornered animals do. It also provides some fun ankle biting to mess with friends or just being a fun troll. It would also help bio hunt bugs to feed hatchlings and have at least some use for helping nesting efforts. It would also give the bio a way to defend it's nest from micro dragons that may infiltrate their hide away holes. The bio has teeth and if we should know anything about nature, it's that anything with teeth will bite you when threatened.

  • #3 Give the bio a small knockback with it's paw that works on creatures it's own size and smaller. Just enough to punt a nosy micro out of it's hole or ledge

(I ran out of characters to continue)
there is already an animation that was made as bio's "attack" where he paws you like booping a nose, that I believe could work wonderfully for the knockback. Knockback doesn't do damage. It's just to protect it's nests and holes.

I also want to stress the importance of adding the caves with holes for the bios. The caves are very crucial for their survivability. That and putting flowers in locations that can't easily be camped. This is a common occurance. This is why dragons often rotate through center island and snipe any bios there. Because they can and bios have very few other places to go with food and there's no shelter. The shelter will make bio a lot more survivable on top of my previous suggestions here.

We're not asking for the dragon to be a combat dragon. We're asking for the dragon to be able to survive in a marketed PVP Survival game

I appreciate all your guys support in this. I've never vouched for a suggestion so hard as this one. Although it's pretty tied with the ping cap atm

These are very practical ideas. Hopefully the devs actually look at them.
