Rule of cool trumps all 😎

Very excited for Scorched Earth 😎

I think some people are allergic to having a good time.

Very excited for Scorched Earth

I'm excited to finally try it for myself.

Dreadnoughtus looks sick, but I am FIENDING for that trailer.

Everything sounds very promising! Looking forward to the trailer. I still can't believe it's been 8 years of Ark already.

Very insightful.

It is, in my humble opinion, perhaps the most missed opportunity when it comes Ark that the oceans and waterways are relatively devoid of any reason to visit when compared to the land. Pretty much every resource you need can be found much easier on land, and defensive/offensive aquatic creatures lack more use because people don't have as much to attack or defend in the water. One of my biggest hopes for ASA is that they make the water more interesting (the visual glow-up will help, but it needs more than that imo). Once that's done (if it gets done) I think there would be more of a reason to add to the aquatic menagerie.

It would be very fitting for such a creepy and dark biome to have some creature from the Cambrian. Imagine swimming through the waters of Aberration atop an overgrown, monstrous Anomalocaris 😯

I never even bothered with imprinting before so this is a gamechanger for me 😄

That's a good point. It's kind of getting to the point where a lot of the "end game" creatures seem more-or-less like slight variations of each other. I think the Charcharodontosarus would've worked well for a Giganotosaurus TLC, for example. Dinosaurs are still definitely the highlight of the game, tho. It would really help to just have more herbivores added, I think. I was really hoping that the Titanoceratops would win a few votes back for this reason. But like you said, some other prehistoric beasties like creatures from the Cenozoic and Permian would be great as well.

More Hadrosaur representation would be more than welcome. Perhaps a creature to help dispel the idea that Hadrosaurs were pushovers.

Because dinosaurs are better.

Wasn't my first pick, but I'd gladly take an awesome dinosaur over another otter and a big cheetah lol.

Nah it's pretty cool.

Lol it is good to see more creatures added that aren't just killing machines.

No, the vote wasn't rigged lmao. This seems to be quite a popular notion amongst those that don't get their way, but what actual proof do you have?

True

I do agree that many of Ark's creatures are at least fairly similar to their real life counterparts, and there are certainly many that go absolutely crazy, but I think that is definitely to Ark's benefit! I think many creatures would begin to feel a bit redundant if we didn't have the wacky stuff.

Yeah I would say that accuracy is not really necessary in any of these designs, as it is stated in lore that all the Ark's creatures are different species from the genera we know irl. Tyrannosaurs Dominion, Triceratops Styrak, and Utahraptor Prime are all species that never existed.

Ark: Survival Evolved.

I love Ark. Happy Birthday!

I'm not necessarily upset about the new creature we're getting for Scorched Earth, but I was REALLY hoping the Ledumahadi would win, since Ark is in serious need of some more awesome herbivores. Perhaps more than one creature could be considered? Regardless, I am interested in what Fasolasuchus will bring to the table.
