MYSTERIOUS MYSTERIES: INTRODUCING ???????

What is this?!?!??!?!?!?! LOL

A type of insect that harvests something from the red and green flower pods which you need to water, you then collect the stuff from the insect with your knife and store it in barrels.

each one is diiferent and carries different stuff?!?!?!?

One for Water, one for Oil, and one for ???

So I'm going to go ahead and take a guess and say that the green one produces water because there's a arrow pointing to the water container and I'm guessing the red one produces oil because of the oil barrel pointing to it

I'm also going to guess that they are tameable because it looks like the guy is milking ones legs? And its back pouch?

Or that you hunt them because of the guy pouring something out of the pouch thing that was on the butterfly/lightning bugs back

It also seems relatively big judging by the picture and I also think that the male might be red and the female may be green

It's also possible that they collect water and oil or produce it or maybe both

I think you've hit the nail on the head there, partner. Interesting concept, anyway. Loving these mysterious mysteries, but i'd like a good ol fashioned normal dossier reveal, ya know?

Same these are starting to get repetitive 

I think the reason the devs are doing these is so they don't get any backlash from people that only like prehistoric animals and so they can change anything about an animal before it's release without community backlash saying that's not what the dossier said

I think it makes the oil that it stores on its back. The different colors could just mean that they come in different colors. I really like the idea of getting oil this way.   Much easier than having to go underwater or in the snow biome.  I guess we will find out some day. 

I'm just gonna say this, it's a prehistoric butterfly

I thought that too but look closely at the first pair of wings which look like the protective shell like wings a beetle or a lightning bug may have, however it also looks like a butterfly so maybe it's a hybrid?

So.....giant moths AND butterflies?

Cricket thing that makes water and oil.

1up on scorpio

To me the species looks like a type of flower fly, judging on the clear proboscis and wings

Or a cricket on what Derp said as I was posting this

We just got a moth so it isn't a butterfly

Ohh... I think the lightening bug idea has some merit!  Maybe they are like the angler fish and we can use their oil to light our torches!!! 

Were getting a lot of bugs

Maybe the creature designers/devs are trying to compensate for the plethora of arthropods during the prehistoric times

What is with my grammar

That's an actually pretty neat Idea. Maybe it could also be a good beginner tame that can keep up with you and light the way

well whatever the reason i for one am enjoying these bugs just hopefully they wont add bugs ; D if yall know what i mean lol bring on the bugs ark! cause were gonna squash them! :' D 

And yet the Titanoboa can't be tamed yet.

Well, the one full of oil wouldn't technically be a lightning bug... it would go by it's other common name.  Firefly.

Well again, ARK is a science fiction game. It's not meant to be accurate, and I actually like Castoroides as it is now more than the dossier. It's much more useful. Titanosaur, I also completely understand. That thing would be overpowered, and I think the devs realized that.

People need to stop griping on ark for a lot of things, but it probably won't happen.

Anybody else notice it's carrying a flower bulb on it's back because if you look at its back the thing has flower stamen sticking out of it

True they still have some accurate ones as well, also I just think people may be more irritated about negative changes in the dossiers like the megapiranna not being tameable, the manta being aggressive and requiring a saddle, the plesiosaurus being aggressive, and of course you mentioned the Titanosaur 

But yeah the people that whine don't help, but the people who give  constructive criticism do

Also I hope they bring back normal dossiers

A flower bulb on the back?  Perhaps it's a flying Pikmin

So where are the gorgonopsids and giant crabs? Correct me if I'm wrong but weren't both creatures announced a while ago because if so they're definitely overdue for a dossier.
