Lotosaurus dating to theAnisian stage of the early Middle Triassic, about 245-237 million years ago Lotosaurus was 1.5 to 2.5 m (4.9 to 8.2 ft) long and a heavily built quadruped. It was a herbivore, shearing off leaves with its toothless, beaked jaws. Lotosaurus, like some other members of the Poposauroidea, had a sail on its back, granting it an appearance superficially similar to that of Permian pelycosaurs like Dimetrodon and Edaphosaurus, although not as high.

Are you serious? bit of a sour loser arn't you. I won 5 out of 12 times I entered and never did I think the devs favored or disliked what I do, you just need to have passion for building and for this game, if you do it just to win, you probably won't. You sound like the mod makers who didn't win and started whining about rules and unfair judging, saying they invested a lot and hence needed to win. If you say you need to win to keep building you are seriously doing it for all the wrong reasons and others will keep winning cause they display the kind of passion for Ark (and not for price money) the devs love. The way the devs supported my builds have been incredible and yes it is a game promoting tool to show of the possibilities in the game. Questioning the way vids are judged is childish and makes you a bad loser.

I shall now forever call it a SPANKY

Can't wait for the Giga/Compy hybrid

Happy Humpday Everyone ^_-

Utahraptor.

Alright, let's see if my theory holds out. We've known we're going to be getting a desert sometime soon. Let's contemplate for a second. Whether this is ARK 2 or not, probably. Next up, Devs confirmed a desert, but also said there aren't going to be many, if not, any more map extensions (like when snow biome hit and extended the map). That being said, it might be an entirely different map or Ark, like The Center. Next, let's contemplate about the first strange creature, that spined lizard. When it first showed up, almost everybody flipped their lid talking about the "New Desert Boss".... .... ...There's absolutely no evidence that it's a boss, and that was a theory made by sketchy youtubers like riot and Mau5craft. It's not a boss, and the main evidence is Megapithecus. Before we even knew what it was, we had Megapithecus's dossier, which had the tech-background. Our little spined reptile had no such dossier, but was on a standard dossier page. The Devs only confirmed 1-2 more bosses, a possible fourth aquatic boss, and a final boss after the Dragon. There's no way our "Spinedillo" friend is that final boss. Now this second strange creature, could possibly be Lotosaurus, but I also see some inconsistancies. That's not exactly a sail on it's back, more along the lines of an "armored sail" or "armored hump". For those that think it's a hybrid mutation, that's not what ark devs mean at all, so you might want to do your research on the game and it's lore. Mutations as in slightly bigger or smaller creatures, or creatures that have an unnaturally good/bad stat for their species, that's what they mean by mutations. I think this second species proves a major theory of ARK I have, the purpose behind it. I've always viewed the ARK as a sort of ecological preserve, where certain "favored" species are kept, and where humans are tested for their aptitude and "intelligence", basically, putting mankind to the test. All of this done at the whim of an extraterrestrial race. Now, if there is indeed an extraterrestrial race, then that must mean there's more than just our planet with life that isn't sentient on it, correct? Other planets have to have their own kinds of animals, and it appears Araneo proves that. On the topic of new alien species, this may indeed be such a case, with our new friend here and "spinedillo". Yet, then comes another possibility for these three species. We know that the species on ARK have been genetically tampered with. Ankylosaurus, Mammoth, Stegosaurus, T-dominum, and several others are evidence of this, but probably none more than Triceratops styrax, which is confirmed to be a genetic hybrid of Triceratops and Styracosaurus. The Manta, Manta mobula, is also estimated to be another one of these hybrids. Thus and therefore, there are two explanations I believe are the case for these creatures: A. Like Araneo may appear to be, these creatures are inhabitants of another world, brought to the ARK for the same reason as all of earth's creatures. B. The aliens might have just pulled Indominus Rex, by combining the genes of favored species together to make new animals, as it appears they have done with Araneo, Triceratops, and Manta. I believe that this might be the reason why our armored friend and spinedillo look so similar: maybe we see their predecessors within, the animals whose genomes were used to make them?... It's anybody's guess, and that's why I freaking love the ARK devs for such fascinating lore.

Not a mutation, not cross breeding, not ARK 2 lol it is a LOTOSAURUS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lotosaurus

It's definitely not useless.

a jackle?.. its a jackle.

Here is a good tip for you stop living your life as though you are always owed validation for everything you do, it is earned. The reality of life is that not everyone is a winner and if you choose to continue on thinking that everyone is a winner, you might not want to step out into the real world where people are hired and fired based on performance. The thought that you should get a pat on the back for everything done is a sign you have a lot more issues than you are probably aware of. Not trying to be rude, but children want people to tell them "Good Job! You get a star!", and I would like to think that people are capable of handling failures and criticisms. It is a measure of one's level of maturity.

Everything you are saying comes across as pure arrogance on your part and is an attempt to belittle the work of the others who are trying to have a bit of fun with the game. Having pride in your work is one thing, hubris is another, and this is just a really poor attitude and quite frankly sheds a bit of light on to what kind of person you actually are. Personally I like the other work submitted more than yours and I am sure that if they didn't win they wouldn't be out here grandstanding over it. If you are going to be petty enough to take your ball and go home crying, then just do it, with your attitude I don't see how anyone would even begin to care if you don't enter anymore.

That wagon idea is awesome ! i hope we can attach it to a trike /paracer !

I understand why you would be upset, your build was great, but you've won a lot in the past few weeks, maybe they just wanted to give some other people a chance? Judging builds will always be subjective, so the best is to try again next week, and to be thankful for the opportunity to make some $$$ while having fun.

As an XBox player I am VERY happy to learn that switching between 1st and 3rd person view will be easier. Always felt a bit annoying to have to pause the game and go to a menu to change that... Oh, I'm also happy to see Allosaurus is in the next patch

That Pelagiarctos is a pretty sweet idea,I wouldn't at all more sea based mammals like it to come into the game.Cute it raptoring mortal.
