Wildcard Admin StudioWildcard Posted January 8, 2022 Wildcard Admin Share Posted January 8, 2022 Happy New Year! We hope you enjoyed your Winter Wonderland and had some time to spend with your tribes (in and out of game 🤓). Although we are continuing to focus some development efforts on Lost Island, we want don't want you to lose sight of new content that's to come in 2022! In addition to 3 new creatures launching in June with Fjordur, we'll also be releasing Carcharodontosaurus as a separate, free update later in 2022! Let's take a look at the dossiers of 2 new creatures coming to Fjordur and announce the winner of the second Community Creature Vote. Common Name: AndrewsarchusSpecies: Andrewsarchus mongoliensisTime: Middle EoceneDiet: OmnivoreTemperament: Opportunistic Andrewsarchuses are full of surprises. These ungainly creatures seem sluggish while foraging for a meal, but they can move unexpectedly fast when provoked. Like some other whippomorphs, an Andrewsarchus will aggressively defend its territory against interlopers its size or smaller on sight. With some distance between you, it might be possible to dodge a charging Andrewsarchus, since they don’t exactly turn on a dime. Just don’t expect a river or lake to protect you from one. If its feet can touch bottom, Andrewsarchus will barely be slowed by deep water. These scavengers will tear into just about anything if hungry, but they do seem to have a sweet tooth. I've seen Andrewsarchuses pacified by honey and sweet fruit. Once tamed, Andrewsarchus is a reliably fast beast of burden, as long as you don’t need it to take any corners at full speed. Its density in water also makes it ideal for searching the ocean floors for pearls. Andrewsarchus is probably most useful for light reconnaissance, once you mount a minigun to the back of its saddle. It can't absorb as much damage as some of the ARKs' larger creatures, but it's great for harassing them. Some say a gun-saddled Andrewsarchus reminds them of a puma, a walrus, or even a warthog, but I don't see it. Common Name: FjordhawkSpecies: Parabuteo veðrfölnirTime: Mid-late AnthropoceneDiet: OmnivoreTemperament: Calculating Most of the creatures I’ve encountered here have endured thanks to their great size, strength, or ferocity. But the fjordhawk gets by on its wits and by scavenging. The bird also seems to have an almost preternatural ability to predict and avoid danger. Fjordhawks follow predators (and survivors) from on high, watching for their moment to swoop in and snatch up an easy meal. Tamed fjordhawks are surprisingly playful, and their favorite game is fetch. Indulge your bird with this play and a bit of patience, and you’ll reap the rewards. Just point out a target, and your fjordhawk will fly off to retrieve it for you. A well-trained fjordhawk can locate injured prey and communicate its find to you. These clever birds will bond with humans as wholeheartedly as any canine or primate, in a way uniquely suited to this time and place. If you should meet with some grave misfortune, your fjordhawk will immediately fly off with as many of your belongings as it can carry. As soon as you’re respawned by the ARK, your friend will track you down and return your equipment to you! With over 60K votes, Desmodus Draculae wins the second Community Creature Vote!

Onimusha759 Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 (edited) Why does it keep referencing the pigs water speed? Water never effects anyones speed "as long as feet touch bottom". Edited January 8, 2022 by Onimusha759 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmanphilli Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 The results for the vote can't be viewed, says you have to be the host of the election but of course none of us are the host. Make it public please so I can see how much the others lost by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumackay Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 I never thought I'd look forward to these crunches for the art and screenshots as much as I do. Absolutely love the creativity and talent within the community 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTwistedKeeper Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 I thought the bison or the charcha would win, I honestly didn't think the vampire bat would. I'm looking forward to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kizmiaz Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 I just wish that Andrew's saddle comes in a no-minigun version as well and not like the mammoth only with drums, minigun respectively 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrysa1is Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 (edited) "Vote for the winner to be added to the game" "Adds a dino that lost last time, and again anyway" Tell me, what was the point in voting if you are going to add a dinosaur that lost the vote TWICE?

Samdaman1995 Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Congratulations you guys let second place go to another large theropod instead of something unique...what a waste 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemonDJ Jr Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 (edited) I've waited since day 1 to have a giant ridable vampire bat in-game. Finally, my crazy dreams come true 😁 Edited January 8, 2022 by DemonDJ Jr 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zarekay Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 I never expected the bat to be the winner, and frankly I didn't vote for it. Anyway my congratulations for the victory 🥳👏🥳👏🥳👏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CosmicSkeleton Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Glad to see the desmo got the win but I'm definitely hesitant on wildcard's decision to add in a losing vote twice now. Really not the wisest idea to keep giving runnerups their wishes, as I've said before it both cheapens the effort of a vote and gives the losing camp the idea that they'll get their way eventually anyway if they just make enough noise. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryaquaza2 Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 A giant rideable bat is cool and all but I’m still kinda bummed out basically just got a another mammal and one that could probably just be Onyc TLC at that. like come on, there’s barely any arthropod games in the game. What’s wrong with a giant flying insect that can actually attack anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really can't see how the Carchardo dino or whatever its called is going to be any different to what we already have? I have a feeling it'll be lazy abilities like bleed, or the reaper statue jump animation. I hope i get surprised, because right now, i don't have much hope for this Cardigan dino lol And it literally LOST TWICE and they are still adding it?? Like what is that? So dumb.
