New dinos every once and a wile

[loudplatipus]

I miss when WC would  add new real Prehistoric creatures every few months this is a community vote.  This is a suggestion system you can up vote  the dinos that people submit and hopefuly WC sees  this and does it. 

[loudplatipus]

lets do it i think its a great idea

[Griffin998]

Well, why not? It would be super cool anyway. One upvote from me!

The first creature i will suggest is the Wiehenvenator.

This formitable dino would live on islands or coustal areas mainly feeding on any mediam or small dinos. They would be a bit smaller than an allo and would be as faster than a rex. They would have the ability to do a bite attack that could be charged for more damage as well as a claw slash. 

They would have a saddle that would refrigerate meat. You would tame them by putting prime meat into their mouth when they charge up their bite. They would have two saddle types the normal saddle that refrigerates meat and an armored saddle that would have a machean gun turret mounted at the back of the saddle that would be controled by a second rider.

And the torvasaurus which would live in forests and jungles. They are bigger than an allo and faster than the fastest rex while having similer strength. They can be tamed by earning their trust which you can do by protecting their nest, protecting their babys, or helping them hunt.

Once tamed they are great war mounts  being fast but strong. They have a nerower jaw so they can bite faster as well as dash tward enemys/prey. They work well with rexes and other large carnivores and gives them a damage buff when around them.

This is from another old post of mine about a new creature. I'll put a drawing in as well.

Hey ARKers! So, right now, a tamed electrophorus is not very useful. So, this is my idea for a variant of the electrophorus-a deep sea variant. It is technically a different creature, but anyway, let's get into it!

Aequor Anguillae: The deep sea eel

Temperament: Highly Aggressive

Tameable: Yes

Rideable: Yes

Breedable: Yes

Torpor Immune: Yes

Taming Method: Passive

Preferred Kibble: Superior

Preferred Food: Prime fish meat

Rider Weaponry: No

Humans can carry: No

Mutatable (important): Rarely

Level 1 health: 350

Level 1 damage: 100 

Wild:

Aequor Anguillae is by far the oddest creature I've ever laid eyes on. It's like the unholy child of an eel and a piranha, with a weird, huge mouth and eyes set on the top of it's head. It's body is long and stretched out, much like the Electrophorus that populate the waters of the ARKs. However, upon further examination of corpses brought to me by various survivors, I have determined that Aequor is a member of the true eel family, and not a knife fish like Electrophorus. On multiple occasions, I have seen Aequors sitting stock-still in one place with the bioluminescent lures on their head tentacles activated. When a fish small enough approaches, it lunges out and swallows it whole. I've seen this done even with survivors trying to tame the beast. Aequor will never spawn in groups, as they tend to attack and kill all creatures in sight, sometimes leading to their untimely demise by Mosasaur. There is, however, one peculiar exception to this rule. Multiple Aequor will gang up on a Plesiosaur to take it down and then feast upon the carcass. Then, they go their separate ways with absolutely no signs of aggression. Even when tamed, their instincts tend to take over, and they will attack any Plesiosaurs near them, regardless if they are allied or not. If they are ridden, they will stay the path, but they will also receive a considerable boost to their bite power and to their will to live. 

DOMESTICATED:

To domesticate this powerful creature, you must carefully swim up to it's open mouth while riding something it is cable of swallowing as it is waiting for a creature to swim too close. Before it lunges for your mount, you must dismount or risk getting eaten along with your mount. When you have fed multiple such creatures, it will begin to cautiously follow our around, during which you must feed it passively. However, if your tribe or you hit it, it will swim away, and the taming process must be restarted. After domestication, Aequor is a force to be reckoned with. Its high swim speed combined with its devastatingly sharp teeth make for a formidable foe. Capable of outswimming the fastest of megalodon, Aequor is a travel mount for those who are past the lowly Ichthyosaurs. Those sharp teeth cause a nasty gnash effect, and curve viciously, making it capable of hooking onto your mount and slowly draining it of life. Along with that, it's mouth stretches open to a terrifying extent, making it capable of swallowing creatures whole. One drawback of this creature is that the favorable mutations that are highly sought after in other creatures are exceptionally rare, almost impossible to get on these creatures. From what I gather, it's because these creatures are so secluded from other influences. They live only in the deepest oceans, so not many other creatures get to them. Weather events don't make a difference either.

Abilities:

Basically, this thing is an absolute beast. At level 1, it does 100 damage, which is a really big amount. It does a bleed comparable to the deinonychus. Along with this, it's fast and highly agile, making it a versatile travel mount as well. As for the swallowing ability, it's a lot like the Xiphactinus from ARK Additions. That swallow attack makes it lunges toward the target, and when it hits the target, it either swallows it whole, or latches onto it, slowly draining it's health. However, to make it more balanced, the taming process is long and difficult, and requires exact timing to avoid losing your items. if swallowed whole by a wild Aequor, you will lose all of your items (tamed Aequor do not have this ability-Pvp would be destroyed). Also, it does not have a lot of health, having maybe 350 health as a base. And, it will be very difficult to mutate these creatures. Mutations are very rare, apparently because it lives so deep down. Also, about the plesi boost. If a Plesiosaur is nearby (whether tamed or wild) the Aequor will get a buff-50% extra damage, and 50% resistance. Also, to make it not so overpowered, wild Aequor will not do bleed. When tamed, they will get something called bleed affinity with each kill. When this affinity is levelled in the radial menu, the bleed damage is introduced. With one level, 1% of the target's health over 10 seconds, and so on and so forth until it eventually gets to 10% IN FIVE SECONDS. However, this will require you to kill lots and lots of creatures, so be prepared! Also, size. The eel will only be able to seat one person, and will be just a little longer than a megalodoodle. It will be able to swallow survivors whole, so watch out for those mouths! Also, there is a sort of stance change, where the eel will lure in creatures smaller than megalodon's. This is the taming stance, basically, and it's really mostly for aesthetics.

So, if there's anything I missed or anything you want me to add, comment down below. Upvote if you want the deep sea eel in the game! Happy ARKing!

That's a great idea. The thread would have to be moved to the ARK 2 forum, but why not? I agree, also. I feel like less dinos but with all of them having more purpose than "big thing hit hard" would be a great idea.

[Mangost]

WC isn't gonna add more dinos like this, so why not repurpose this thread into a suggestion for ARK II dinos?

personally i think ark 2 should have less dinos so that each one has its own purpose instead of some being better in all ways than others.

thanks. plz share with your firends and post dinosaurs.

Deinocheirus

Time:Late Cretaceous

Diet: omnivore

Temperament: docile...?

The deinocheirus is the largest omnivore that I have ever seen.They are slightly larger than a rex and much bulkier. They have two extremely dangerous weapons: first they have their sharp boney beek that can rip through flesh and bone; the second is its massive bulky arms tipped with razor sharp claws. They will eat anything from berrys to fish, they especially love prime fish meat. They can roar that stuns anyone in range and buffs any allies in range. 

They can run relatively fast for their size and can run faster than rexes. They have feathers on their arms and tail. Males are much bigger than females. The biggest difference between the one on the ark and the one from the fossil record is that the one here on the ark is much bigger and bulkier. They are not particularly aggressive unless a predator the size of a rex or bigger is neer any dino smaller than a rex is scared of this guy. After you tame this guy you can equip a saddle that can hold 4 people and has a pair of small machine gun turrets on the sides.

[loudplatipus]

The alamosaurus is a giant herbivore that lives in redwood forests and ocasionaly feeds on beehives and is compleatly amune to their stings. they can get on their hind legs and then come down on the ground with enough force to disorient people and creatures and send stones flying into their enemies. Their saddle can hold up to 7 people and you can set up different turrets on the turret attachment points on the saddle it also has multiple smithes and a small industrial forge. They can use the spikes on the sides of their bodys to slam into any creature beside them.

They can be tamed with honey or rare mushrumes that grow on the sides of red wood trees.

Since ARK 2's coming out, WC probably won't have enough time to do even more completely new dinos. They take time. Creating the model, the dossier, the code, the animations, all of it. Coding isn't easy work. It would be cool, but this probably won't be very realistic. Let's face it-Charchar is probably the last new dinos ARK 1's going to get. It's the sad, sad truth. Of course, I'm not saying WC will drop ARK 1 altogether-just that work on it will decrease. The occasional tlc maybe, the quality of life updates, the bug fixes, those will probably still be there. But probably not something as huge as new creatures every month. Since ARK 2's the latest game WC's released, all focus will be on it to make it as great of an experience as possible, even better than it's predecessor, ARK 1. Sorry to pop your bubble. But they're all really great ideas!

[loudplatipus]

I understand that but i would like this to get popular so mabey they will see it and take it into consideration.
