Wildcard Community StudioWildcard Posted November 8, 2025 Wildcard Community Posted November 8, 2025 This week brings some big moments out on the ARK. The Ossidon has stepped into the foreground at last, an imposing winter-born brute with a presence that seems to quiet the wilds around it. We also closed out another Community Creature Vote, and the winning design is now bound for the wilds of Genesis Part 1. Thank you to everyone who brainstormed, sketched, debated, rallied, and dreamed together. And on top of that, you’ve pushed us past 120k raised for Extra Life, with time still on the clock. Incredible! To keep the momentum rolling, we’ve added a new stretch goal further down. This is real-world impact made possible by a community that shows up for one another. We're grateful for your heart, your humor, and your generosity. Let’s dive in! Download in full resolution Common Name: Ossidon Species: Cryopithecus dominus Time: Necrocene Diet: Carnivore Temperament: Relentless Project Ossidon has already yielded the ideal apex protector for our people’s needs! Experimentation with the infusion of Red Element into creatures engineered for hardiness has given us a truly fearsome anthropoid that can dominate the Antarctic wastes. By design, these noble snow-beasts can be sorted at a distance by adaptation. Each specimen morphologically expresses its most useful genomic trait. The healthiest Ossidon might display a magnificent crest, while the deadliest will flash the longest teeth. Our biotech teams are laboring around the clock to gestate and domesticate as many Ossidons as possible, should the day come when they may be needed to defend against a Titan. In the near term, these glorious behemoths will be employed as our peacekeepers and guardians. Ossidon was engineered to produce excessive quantities of cryogenic mucus. This foul substance is the creature’s greatest weapon, whether rolled into an icy wrecking ball or spit in a shower of bone-chilling slush. Any rider will feel unstoppable astride one of these imposing brutes! Our mounted forces will soon become as integral to the defense of this outpost as our protective energy shield. And should any of my subjects – my esteemed colleagues – feel tempted to challenge my rule, the Ossidons under my command would prove to be an effective deterrent… With over 23k votes, Paleoctopus will be the new creature added to Genesis Part 1 for ARK: Survival Ascended. We are looking forward to sharing its concept and dossier in the weeks to come! If you are interested in seeing exactly how the voting went, check it out here. * Note that we'll be reading through these threads and using them as inspiration for how the creature will be designed; aspects suggested may change. Not loading? Click here Powered by RankedVote We’re thrilled to share that the community has raised over 120k for Extra Life! And a new stretch goal for a fifth Dino TLC at 175k has been unlocked! Thank you to everyone who has contributed. It has been inspiring to see the community come together for a cause with the energy and dedication only ARK players bring. Your generosity has helped us reach all of our donation milestones so far and will reward the community with four brand-new Dino TLC passes while unlocking a potential fifth TLC at 175k raised. There is only one week left before the first creature is locked in so get your votes in! Together, we’re making a difference for kids and shaping the future of ARK! While we won’t be able to host our usual 24-hour Extra Life livestream this year, we’re still going all-in on what matters most: uniting as a community to raise money for the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals and unlocking something special for the future of ARK: Survival Ascended. Our dedicated community has unlocked four Dino TLC passes to be released throughout 2026, breathing new life into a classic creature of the ARK with updated gameplay and style. ↑ Therizinosaurus ↓ Giganotosaurus ⚌ Megalosaurus ↓ Quetzalcoatlus ↓ Araneo ↓ Gallimimus ↓ Thylacoleo ⚌ Brontosaurus ↓ Allosaurus ↓ Carnotaurus Donate now to any team member listed here to ensure your vote counts! When donating to anyone on the Studio Wildcard Extra Life Team, not just Studio Wildcard directly, include a message with your chosen creature’s full first name preceded by a hashtag, like this (we’ll do our best to identify typos, but try to spell them correctly!): #Giganotosaurus Hello #Giganotosaurus Please give #Giganotosaurus a TLC! If no hashtag vote is included in the donation message, the donation will still count towards the TLC total, but it won’t advance any particular dino’s voting tally. Every $1 donated = 1 vote A $50 donation with #Giganotosaurus = 50 votes for Giganotosaurus Five $10 donations with #Giganotosaurus = 50 votes for Giganotosaurus (10 x 5) To keep the vote balanced and consistent, eligible creatures must meet the following criteria: Must be a creature from The Island Must be tameable Must be rideable or a shoulder pet Must not have previously received a TLC pass The following creatures have already had a TLC pass and are not eligible: Argentavis Dire Bear Direwolf Gigantopithecus Mammoth Parasaur Procoptodon Raptor Tyrannosaurus Rex Sabertooth Sarcosuchus Spinosaurus Stegosaurus Triceratops Each winner will be locked in at 1 PM Pacific on that date and revealed the same day in the Crunch. November 14 – First Winner November 21– Second Winner November 28 – Third Winner December 5 – Final Winner Ella Grace's journey began with a mysterious limp, leading to a four-year search for answers. Multiple surgeries and misdiagnoses left her family feeling lost. After finally getting a one-in-a-million diagnosis of Chronic Recurrent Multifocal Osteomyelitis (CRMO), she was relieved to hear that UF Health Shands Children's Hospital could provide what she needed for her rare bone disease. Though incurable, the hospital's specialized care and treatment plan brought stability and progress. Thanks to donations through CMN, UF Health Shands Children's Hospital provides specialized care and a comforting environment, empowering Ella Grace to face CRMO with strength. You can read the full article about Ella's journey here! All donations go directly to UF Health Shands Children’s Hospital, a nationally recognized cornerstone of the UF Health Shands campus. The hospital provides expert care across more than 20 pediatric specialties and is home to the community’s first emergency department dedicated solely to children, the UF Health Shands Pediatric ER. Serving children and families throughout Florida and beyond, UF Health Shands Children’s Hospital is a leading destination for pediatric patients from across the United States and around the world who need specialized care for complex medical conditions. UF Health Shands recently celebrated the ribbon-cutting of Unit 44, a fully renovated pediatric medicine and surgical floor designed with children and families in mind. The unit features all-new private rooms with tech-enabled amenities for families, dedicated gathering spaces for siblings, and brand-new toddler and teen playrooms equipped with four large TVs, allowing patients to use each screen independently or sync them together to play their favorite games on what might be the biggest screen they’ve ever seen, perfect for jumping into ARK and other games. Interactive healing walls and an upgraded procedure room further enhance the patient experience. The $30 million+ transformation was funded through a combination of hospital budget, state appropriations, and private philanthropy, including over $4 million from Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals supporters (that's you guys!). We’re bringing extra color to the chaos this spooky season! The community’s favorite creature colors are now live alongside the Fear Ascended color palette on the Official Network. And that’s not all — Survivors can also enjoy event items and delicious cake slices from now thru November 10th.

Expect your world to be brighter, bolder, and packed with some of the community's favorite hues! 💙 Extra Life Game Day is in full swing and the support has been incredible. Together we’ve already passed 120k raised and unlocked four creature TLCs to make their way into ASA. Thank you so much to everyone donating, cheering, streaming, and showing up. This is the power of gaming communities when we come together. And we’re not done yet.

Our goal is to ensure that we're always delivering the best experience possible, and official servers exist as a way for the community to play together without having to host their own. When we launch fresh content, typically, we put up more servers than we need in the long term to match the peak in user capacity; over time, these servers become ghost towns as players have dropped off and are waiting for the next major content release. At the conclusion of the Bonus Rate Event on Monday, October 20th (around 1 PM Pacific), we’ll be opening transfers out of Isolated servers to the main network for items, characters, and creatures, as well as character transfers into Isolated for those who wish to move. As part of this process, the servers will be renamed with the “SUNSET” prefix, following the same approach we’ve used in the past. Please note that once renamed, these servers will be removed from the in-game Favorites list, so you’ll need to search for them manually to reconnect. After further evaluation, the following servers have been removed from the sunset list: Quote Asia-PVP-ConsolesSmallTribes-TheIsland8098 EU-PVP-Consoles-TheIsland1044

We’re working with our partner at Nitrado to offer these saves after the scheduled sunset through Nitrado’s interface. Please stay tuned for more details. Expire servers are temporary servers across the network that will eventually be removed, and you can find them by searching for "Expire" in the session filter. These servers will be online until 10 am PST / 1 pm EST on December 8th. We're preemptively using our allocation for future maps to host some additional sessions that players can travel onto to farm, tame, and experience the newest content Gameplay. The same transfer restrictions apply in that you are only able to download your character, but you can freely take anything off. This is to help reduce load off some of the other servers, or provide players an option for those who just want to jump onto a new map temporarily. Please note that these servers will no longer exist after 10 am PST / 1 pm EST on December 8th, so if you intend to use them, remember to transfer your items/creatures/characters off before that date, as nothing will be saved beyond that time period. Download in full resolution Darkness creeps once more across the ARK... Fear Ascended returns from now until November 12th, bringing with it a spine-tingling celebration packed with new skins, eerie creatures, and haunting surprises to discover. We’ve turned up the saturation for Fear Ascended—more colors, more variety, and more chances to spot rare shades bleeding through to the wild. Expect your world to be brighter, bolder, and packed with some of the community's favorite hues! Stay close to the fire, Survivors... you never know what’s lurking in the dark.

ShadowShadex Posted November 8, 2025 Posted November 8, 2025 As long as giga and quetzal get a TLC, I’m happy. 4
SantiagoOsorio54 Posted November 8, 2025 Posted November 8, 2025 I'm really ecxited to see both creatures roadming in Lost Colony and Genesis 1 💪 1 1
ladyteruki Posted November 8, 2025 Posted November 8, 2025 (edited) Oh interesting, the Tako Sushi was not my favorite creature in the vote, but it was also NOT my least favorite one... which is refreshing compared to some previous winners. Congratulations to the Octopus ! This was a vote that really sent the message that people want more craftables in the game (several submissions had a version of that, the Octopus had the potions and their volatile variants, we'll see if they make it into the game). Quick question, WildCard : instead of giving us a seemingly endless stream of cosmetics noone has asked for, have you considered giving us more craftables that we can, you know, play with ? There are consistently suggestions made in the creature submissions that are AT LEAST as much about adding gameplay content as they are about cool looking creatures. This past vote, for instance, was heavy in underwater submissions (on a map that could easily have favored another type of biome), had a lot of craftables, a lot of biome variants, and last but not least, a lot of creatures with minions. I don't know, I think it's interesting. It's just interesting. That feels interesting to me. I would write down how interesting it is... Now I just have to hope that the tentacles will be animated decently, because that's not the sort of appendages and movements ARK has a great history with (it just takes looking at snakes in this game to see how rigid things can often look...). PS : the Crinoid might have felt a bit redundant with the Bloodthirsty Bloodstalker, but I hope to see it again another time. EDIT : the Theriz is one of the most used creatures in the game, I can't believe people lack imagination so much that they want a TLC of an already overused tame. And then they'll complain it's less useful... Edited November 8, 2025 by ladyteruki 9
ChrisBManos Posted November 8, 2025 Posted November 8, 2025 I said I would vote for something that benefits all the biomes for Gen 1. This was it right here. 2
Scribelordd Posted November 8, 2025 Posted November 8, 2025 Rubs me the wrong way that the Theri is so high It wasn't even in the top 10 yesterday and its suddenly surpassed the Giga as number 1? Just dont sit well with me, Paleo Octopus is great news though, I had a gut feeling it was gonna win and happy to see it making it in, the Ossidon also sounds really cool, I love this thing from a conceptual standpoint and I cant wait to try it out 3

Quick question, WildCard : instead of giving us a seemingly endless stream of cosmetics noone has asked for, have you considered giving us more craftables that we can, you know, play with ? There are consistently suggestions made in the creature submissions that are AT LEAST as much about adding gameplay content as they are about cool looking creatures. This past vote, for instance, was heavy in underwater submissions (on a map that could easily have favored another type of biome), had a lot of craftables, a lot of biome variants, and last but not least, a lot of creatures with minions. I don't know, I think it's interesting. It's just interesting. That feels interesting to me. I would write down how interesting it is... Now I just have to hope that the tentacles will be animated decently, because that's not the sort of appendages and movements ARK has a great history with (it just takes looking at snakes in this game to see how rigid things can often look...). PS : the Crinoid might have felt a bit redundant with the Bloodthirsty Bloodstalker, but I hope to see it again another time. EDIT : the Theriz is one of the most used creatures in the game, I can't believe people lack imagination so much that they want a TLC of an already overused tame. And then they'll complain it's less useful... It got boosted from Syntacs stream, it rubs me the wrong way too since it wasn't even in top 10 yesterday 2
Bulborb87 Posted November 8, 2025 Posted November 8, 2025 There is no way people want the murder turkey to get a rework THIS badly, it's already a damn good tame compared to something like the Quetzal and the Araneo who are in dire needs of an upgrade 6 1 1
AmanaTishala Posted November 8, 2025 Posted November 8, 2025 Awwwwwww maaaaannnnnnm! So freaking close!!!! I wanted the Irritator soooooooooo bad! It was such a great design!!!!! 1 1
somerandombrandon Posted November 8, 2025 Posted November 8, 2025 (edited) I'm so glad the octopus won, this vote had a lot of new creatures that I wouldn't have minded winning, but the octopus and crinoid were the ones that I wanted to see win the most. now we just have to hope that one, they keep it a land creature with a aquatic option( is that how I should say that) and two, they actually animated it well, maybe get some ideas from monster hunter's Nu Udra for a good octopus rig wildcard.

Corvus102323 Posted November 8, 2025 Posted November 8, 2025 Congratulations to Paleoctopus for winning! I look forward to seeing it in the simulation next year. 1

Gave me big Nu Udra vibes with the coating mechanic, my favorite Monster in Wilds and MH in general so I cant wait to see that implemented (I feel confident it'll be implemented with the multi biome mechanic being perfect with it) 2

It's doesn't need abilities it needs model update thats all! I love the theri and it needs a update everyone uses it 1
Randrewf Posted November 8, 2025 Posted November 8, 2025 I hate democracy. The top 3 creatures in the extra life TLC have no business being there. I'm also not thrilled at the land octopus that makes potions but at least I can understand people wanting something different. I do wish Wildcard would actually enforce the needs to be a prehistoric creature rule harder tho. People just picking modern animals then looking for an extinct similar genus to slap the name on the dossier but really it's just a modern animal. There were several cool exotic prehistoric species this time and we got a land octopus. 2
Embanii Posted November 8, 2025 Posted November 8, 2025 Therizinosaurus wasnt even on the list in the last community crunch! Real "underdog takes the lead" moment right there. Im glad the Quetz is still in the top 4, at least, but Im not understanding why Megalosaurus is still on the list. It's the star of the Rockwell fight and is nasty in PvP. Doesnt look half bad, either. There are definitely others who need a TLC far more desperately 2 1

None of the tames we see commonly in videos and on servers should be at the top of that list, if it were up to me. Only tames noone uses, because CLEARLY they need a makeover the most. But nooo, Giga and Theriz. This is why we can't have nice things. Like, I dislike the Galli as much as the next survivor, but that's precisely why it needs to be higher too. Basically, pick the least popular creatures in ARK, and TLC those. Except the Ichthyornis, naturally, which just deserves to DIE DIE DIE. 42 minutes ago, Randrewf said: I do wish Wildcard would actually enforce the needs to be a prehistoric creature rule harder tho.

There were several cool exotic prehistoric species this time and we got a land octopus. Technically it's "extinct" not "prehistoric". At least we don't have a single octopus in the game already. Unlike those damn Theropods that seemed to almost always get all the votes previously, there was an actual diversity of creatures this time around. And I say this as someone who submitted two creatures, one of them being a Theropod (and who might be guilty of the phenomenon you describe XD but I don't think it's a bad thing, lots of creatures in ARK are bastardized that way, it's called fiction). At some point we have to recognize that if we need rules to be super restrictive for certain creatures to get a chance to be voted on... it's that people don't want these creatures unless forced to. If you have to say "ok, but no creature that could remotely be associated to a modern animal, and no Theropod, and we've had enough carnivores, and...", it's not so much of a COMMUNITY vote, is it ? 2
TyranntX Posted November 8, 2025 Posted November 8, 2025 Oh goodie, an octopus no one's going to use... 1 1

I know you’re against theropods lately, but an octopus? Cause in real life they can climb on surfaces, fit through tight spaces, can camouflage really well. Plus, based on the submission that was made, ARKs Palaeoctopus might create potions that could be great utility in the biomes of Gen 1 (EX: a potion that could reduce oxygen consumption while in water or give you resistance to fire). And you think no one going to use an octopus? 🐙 Edited November 8, 2025 by ChrisBManos 3
MalarOpossum867 Posted November 8, 2025 Posted November 8, 2025 Phew. The winner was FINALLY not a standard carnivorous theropod dinosaur! 1

Lalara Posted November 8, 2025 Posted November 8, 2025 (edited) Ossidon's dossier thingy looks REALLY COOL. Can't wait for Lost Colony!!! Why on earth did Syntac vote for a therizino tlc..?I guess therizino is just THAT ugly to him XD Well that's his opinion, even tho I personally wouldn't vote for it, I still wanna see what WC will do to it... Imagine it could stab dinosaurs and perhaps carry them around while being impaled on it's huge claws.. hah! Edited November 10, 2025 by Lalara I had misheard some info mb
Sharethy Posted November 8, 2025 Posted November 8, 2025 As someone who has been here since the start of ark, I'm so excited to see the Giga shown some love, After the first nerf Its never been the same! 1
