I hope he will replace the t-rex in the north, I personally think that the t-rex are too common everywere on the island...

Has It Been Added Into The Game Yet?

These dossier reveals never mean the creature is now in-game, it's basically a trailer for what the dev's have planned. When they release a creature Spotlight video, that means the creature's actual addition to the game is imminent.

Thanks, @I Want MY Burd

Walking bear trap... This is going to be a fun base defender  

AAww snap son, we have a living beartrap.

Really, another theropod? On the bright side it does provide some good additions to the game. Will the decs be going back and reviewing the dossiers to decide if other animals will be getting nocturnal abilities. I personally think that utahraptor would work as a creature that can be active both day and night.

Edit : And yay for semi realistic feathers on a large theropod 

The artist did really good job with this one

I love it so much it has to be one of the best dossiers so far especially the design of how the feathers blend so well with the scales

Feathers, all of the yes!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ooooooooooooooooooooo I like this alot...

I'm looking at the size of the animal it has in its jaws, and if that's a parasaur then I'm guessing this thing is about the size, if not a little bigger than the Rex, though maybe not as powerful, except at nighttime. I'm really excited for this, as well as others.

Should be about 7m unless they scale it up.

Wanted Yutyrannus as the final theropod, but I'll take it! And bruh! It can dodge attacks... We're getting evasive maneuvers! Imagine riding this monster with a pack of Troodon at your side. It's kinda RIP to anything you come across bar a Giga. Most hype Dossier since Megalania, hands down. 

Yes but will they add it to the game or will it be like the never seen but only in the Dino dossier 

The dossier looks nice, as always, but...

Carnivores, carnivores, carnivores. Carnivores everywhere. Frickin' nothing but carnivores. Is that what this game is going to look like as a finished product? A "survival" game that plays more like an FPS because 75% of the animals on the island want to eat you, and you can't cross the next hill without running into four different species of predator? It's hard to imagine interesting predator-prey relationships arising from this population, and even more difficult to imagine that once you guys get improved AI in the mix certain species of herbivore will become excessively rare for no other reason than too many different things are trying to eat them. 

I agree we need more herbivores that were built to protect themselves and there heard iguanadons need to be put in the game it in the dossier add it already it's perfect and there bad asses who would fight like a sumo wrestler cheating (no thumbs!) or better yet more flyer I feel theres a lack of flyers in the game 

This looks baller as, most likely a mountain/snow biome creature. Should be good for base defence and even offence too! I'm hell stoked for this!

They're bringing out the Therizinosaurus too which is coming soon I believe, yea more herbivores would be cool, and more aquatic-like dinosaurs

Looks awesome ! - And scary! ;D

With the Megalosaurus introduced, carnivorous dinosaurs only outmatch herbivores by one species in Ark. And one of those carnivores is the Oviraptor that poses no threat and eats eggs. There're far more herbivorous mammals than there are carnivores, and almost half of the Reptiles and Amphibians, while they do eat meat, won't attack you ( ie. the Beezlebufo, Quetzal, Icthy, etc). People keep forgetting those 'peaceful' meat-eaters. 

But I do think it would be nice if the developers fiddled with some of the spawn rates. I mean, first seeing a Rex in the wilds in Ark is scary. But you'll probably see five more in the next two minutes and it soon becomes 'oh another Rex'. Larger carnivores should be scaled back in terms of how easy they are to find. Make it feel rewarding when you finally stumble upon one. Maybe they'll do something of the sort when hunting territories are established.
