(ALL EXPLAINED) (EXTINCT) The Dracorex is an uncommon creature, that is a mixture between many species of the Ark. It loves collecting rocks, gems and some other kinds of minerals. This creature is very territorial, I highly recommend not crosssing it's limits or you'll be in for a pretty difficult time. Having this creature by your side will greatly benefit you and your allies. It may lose trust if it doesn't get enough attention. TAMING: To gain this creatures' trust you'll have to bring beautiful rocks (in this case gems) and offer them to it. The better the gem, the more taming effectiveness you'll get. The best gems to give it are in this order: 1)Red gem 2)Blue gem 3)Green gem.( I suggest getting the red one as it's the best for taming.) ABILITIES: This creature is very capable of protecting itself alone but it has unique feature! When it devours or breaks a gem it harnesses the mineral consumed and it changes the Draco's attributes. ( If you have tamed the dracorex , you can put a gem on it's inventory so it can devour it or destroy it and get the effects of said gem (keep in mind the gems' different abilities cannot be mixed nor stacked). ABILITY 1: The Dracorex has a bite that causes a bleeding status effect during a small amount of time without reducing the other dino's speed (just draining the dino's health and causing damage overtime). ABILITY 2: The Dracorex dashes torwards it's opponent taking aid of it's wing like protrusions (They're not actual wings, sort of extended scales that make it's arms swifter) and uses it's talon like claws to latch on the back of a dino (during a small amount of time ofc, it can also attack while being attached), furthermore, it causes a speed reduction that affects mainly flyers, if affected while flying it will make it land but it won't be as effective with terrestrial dinos.There's a cooldown between the dashes. After a few seconds it'll be kicked from the dino it was attached to and lose a bit of it's stamina. ABILITY 3 (GREEN GEM): When it consumes a green gem, it increases health, adds a regeneration boost and a poison attachment to it's horns and spiky protruding osteoderms that can cause the poison status effect to enemies while/during a short period of time.This poison can affect multiple creatures at once.There is a green aura around the Draco that shows when the poison is active. ABILITY 3 (BLUE GEM): When it consumes a blue gem, it aquires resiatance against stuns and a stamina-draining effect when dealing with other dinos. When it attacks other dinos, the damaged dinos will lose stamina faster than usual and nearby allies will recharge stamina faster. The Dracorex can hit ally dinos while being in this effect to create a status where the dino gets a stun reduction for a few seconds. When it loses more than 75% of it's stamina while being affected by the blue gems' properties, it will lose 10% of it's health points to make the enemy creature or tribe be aware anytime of the Dracorexs stamina. It also gains a speed boost on all terrain.There's a blue aura around The Dracorex while said gem is active. ABILITY 3 (RED GEM): When it consumes a red gem, it gains a small amount of health from other dinos, so whenever it hits a dino it recovers an amount of the damage it has done. It also can enter into a frenzy-like status that increases it's damage but decreases it's mobility by a small percentage. Enemy dinos won't be able to heal as fast after being hit by the Dracorex while being in this status. After the red gem status ends the dracorex will lose control for a few seconds, be very cautious.There will be a red aura around it that shows when the red gem effect is active. PASSIVE: It can hit attackers directly if aimed correctly when attacking a dino. Farms more gems than usual. Poison affects 50% less to: (shadowmane poison,basilisk...) EXPLANATION: Dracorex isn't able to mix different gem powers at the same time. Once one effect is applied it won't dissapear until a determined amount of time has passed and whenever it finishes, a cooldown will be applied before it can use the abilities of other gem.The mineral extraction is similar to the one insects do but this dino has got to adapt into the environment because of evolution through time. DRAWBACKS: it cannot fly but can lift itself from the ground for a decent amount of height (A feather fall/jump almost) with its large scale flaps, If the Dracorex isn't offered enough gems it'll start being less interested in it's owner as time goes by, it's a tiny bit smaller than griffins C63R17 WINGS SIMILAR TO BAT ONES ( because of the mutations all over time and adaptations to the enviroment) Evolution theory NEAR RELATIVE

This small reptile remains hidden with a camouflage system to surprise and immobilize survivors or small animals that approach it. It is a shoulder dino and it could look like in the following image: Species: reptile (snake) Biomes: swamp, forest, jungle or desert Skills: 1- It has the option of blending in with the environment, similar to a chameleon. 2- When launching this creature it will do the same function as some bolas. 3- Activating the "turret mode" option will attack and immobilize the approaching survivor. Basically it is a proximity mine but it acts as a flesh and blood bolas. 4- También puede hacer la función de una bufanda para proteger del frío al superviviente. This creature would be very useful for bases located in caves or for ambushing other players. You could also consider the possibility that, apart from immobilizing your victim, you also apply it as a poison or sedative. And this is my proposal.

LOBISOMEN PIDÃO AUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Confuciusornis sanctus Early cretaceous period of China prefers wet forest habitats omnivore favoring insects, seeds, and berries Both genders can serve as buffs, males when crowing can give a combat buff to players as well as their tames, considering them all as part of its flock while females give crafting skill buffs so you can bring higher quality weapons to fights. Both serving important purposes in raids or fights. another idea is that they can be honey guides, wild ones being find by beehives and tamed ones helping lead you and your dire bear to honey. They can likely be a compliment to the Sinomacrops in that they can be great harvesters of chitin, being tossed towards insect bodies like the fjordhawk towards body backs then fly back with a nice stack of chitin. Shoulder healer is something I have never seen in ark before. As long as its preferred food is in its inventory, it can slowly heal you over time. Taming would likely depend on what its function could be. if a honey guide than dropping sweet things like mejoberries and passively feeding it could work. If a healer then perhaps the more damaged you are the more it feels a need to tend to you so it tames faster.... if you just drained yourself to go tame bats then why not go for this guy too? Reverse of the bloodstalker and bat taming methods. I feel the forests of ark should have more small flyers in it to make the air feel more alive. The hawk and sino help with in this respective maps but I think we still need more. also Confuciusornis is about as iconic as Archeopteryx when concerning early birds. It would be a shame to not include it.

So a little while back i was playing ark and i did a little search on what animals were in fjordur again now when fjordur came out i already looked but recently i looked and there appears to be new creatures in the unique section such as the aurochs and the other voted creatures does anyone have any idea as i am very curious if they will be entering fjordur

Please update electrophorus to allow shocking attack to work when tamed against other dinos and players. Would be a great tame to be able to use. Saddled would be nice but just just the ability to use the attack would be sufficient.

Legacy TLC Ideas: I feel that with the game coming to a close… and with ARK II starting to look like a completely different game than what we have grown accustomed to in ARK… I would like to ask that you please update the Legacy Dinos with one giant TLC before the end instead of thinking of doing another community map in the extra time before ARK II’s release… I have put together what I feel would be the simplest to implement changes while being the most satisfying end result for them being on the simpler side… Any additions on top of these changes would be welcomed if they fit into the characteristics of the actual creature. Which I kept in mind through this whole process. One that is not for one particular Dino is: Carnivores repel smaller Carnivores - I think it would add a new depth to the game to allow Allosaurs to repel carnivores smaller than them, along with Rex’s repelling carnivores smaller than they are and the Giga being the largest and repelling all carnivores, to a certain radius. It would make having them during taming immensely important. And having them repel carnivores will make you have to approach carnivores you want to tame on foot to get close enough to start taming. Keeping that early game thrill alive even into late game. It just does not make sense that I have my Rex pretty much standing on something I’m taming and a Dilo feels brave enough to come try and take a bite right between the Rex’s feet lol… It would add a whole new level to carnivore tiers, to immersion, to taming mechanics, etc. I think that would be a big win for the game as a whole. Besides that these are my ideas for individual creatures in order of importance, to me at least… Plesiosaur: -New Look / Speedster / Prime Fish - First, please redesign and retexture the model to a more majestic paleo-art depiction. I will probably use “majestic” to describe how a lot of these models should look, but bear with me lol. As far as mechanics go I think leaning into the Plesi’s speed is a good characteristic to stick with. It is already fast but maybe it could be more maneuverable? A turnaround-spin like the Sarco has, plus adding a spin like the Pteranodon has for a boost underwater. Things like that could really make the Plesi a more satisfying mount to get around the oceans. Finally I would add a prime fish mechanic. Allowing it to gather a little more and from more creatures. Like how we can scrape prime fish from the Leed. Maybe the Plesi could take bites of prime from it’s side the same way? Liopleurodon: -Normal Tame / Rarer-Better-Mobility-Mini-Plesi - The Liopleurodon really just needs to be made a normal tame… it is honestly a waste as it is now… I would honestly be happy if you matched it with the speed characteristics the Plesi has and gave it some of the maneuvers I suggested for it also, like the spin-boost the pteranodon has, etc. It doesn’t even have to gather prime the same way I suggested for the Plesi but it being a rare, speedy mount would still be better than it is as of now. Maybe instead of better loot, it just makes loot crates glow a little brighter to see them better underwater. That would be balanced for a normal tame while still keeping the original idea behind the creature alive. Megalodon: -New Look / Breach / Blood Tracker - The Meg needs a cleaned up look. With the experienced artists you have now you could make an amazing new Megalodon model. As far as mechanics go I would really love to have a charged jump out the water to grab and damage flyers over the water. Which you would then drop back to the water which would release the flyer from your grab, but also make the flyer drop its rider if it has one into the water. That would be such a fun mechanic for the Meg and would be so fun to randomly see wild Megs jump out of the water at a Pelagornis once in awhile. Or at you if you fly to close to the surface. I always thought Xiphactinus should of been added to take the Meg’s coastal patrol niche and the Megs should be made a little rare and more terrifying. So like the Raptors not pouncing on survivors anymore, I would make the Meg’s jump to flyers be a rare occurrence but still possible. Finally I would just add the Dire Wolf’s blood/smell mechanic to track hurt creatures underwater in the same way to go with the Shark’s known ability to smell blood in the water. Ichthy: -Breach / Echo Location Ichthy should be able to breach the surface also, but more like the Manta. It should also have an Echo Locate ability that briefly shows you silica pearls, oil nodes and threats in a radius of it. Mosa: -Updated Look / Repels water Carnivores - Technically the Mosa does not need that much. A cleaned up model and maybe the ability to repel smaller Carnivores and the Mosa be the only creature for repelling smaller carnivores underwater. Everything giving the Mosa a wide-birth almost getting out of it’s way as it swims. Would really fit the Dino and make it a lot more ominous to see coming from a distance underwater. Giga: -Updated Look / Balanced with Carc - The Giga is a weird one to me… yes it needs a cleaned up model and really it could be all good after that. But with the Carcharodontosaurus coming I would wonder if it will really hold up to it afterwards? My suggestion is to give the Giga a new look as to not let it get completely outshined, at least make sure it is balanced with the Carc stats wise, and if they are going to be equals I would have them in different areas… Gigas with jungles, Carcs with deserts or something along those lines… just so they don’t overlap if they fill the same niche. And if the Carc gets any cool mechanics please don’t leave the Giga in the dust. Add a mechanic to the Giga if you have to, to keep them at least in competition for “biggest-theropod worth taming”. Bronto: -Stomp / Stairs / Lower - Bronto needs a more majestic look. Think /Brachiosaurus model from the base Jurassic World Evolution 2 game and the Dreadnoughtus model in the new Jurassic World Evolution 2 Biosyn DLC and branch out from there… that franchise just knows how to do majestic sauropods… Also it could use a stomp that could be used on walls and structures… we’ve needed it for a long time… Another idea is to use the head and neck as stairs some how… being able to aim the head after you walk up the neck to the direction of the elevated spot you are trying to get to. Could really make for some interesting and hard to reach base locations. Lastly is a “crouch” or “sit” mechanic for it to lower the base on its back. When you find your spot it lays down or something. Isn’t really needed honestly but it would be an awesome mechanic when you use one as your base. Using the head or tail to get up easier afterwards, or just building stairs the perfectly line up with the ground after it lays down. Obviously this is the one I’ve thought through the least but besides a new model the Bronto def needs something to make it a tad bit more relevant than just being prehistoric scenery. It def gathers berries the best but is that really it’s full potential? Quetz: -New Look / Glide / Fabricator Jet Saddle - The Quetz should be king of the skies but it has never felt like it… Again the model in the new Jurassic World Evolution 2 DLC is a good concept to start from. I just feel when it does not have a platform saddle on, repeat, when it does not have a platform saddle on it should not be so squat to the ground. More elevated and regal like a giraffe. With a much more maneuverable walk. Maybe even being the only true flyer that can actually back up while on the ground. While flying the Quetz should naturally have a glide mechanic that “slightly”, I repeat “slightly” regains stamina. It is only fitting and the big guy deserves it. Last thing the big guy deserves is a jet pack saddle like the Tropeognathus. With all the jets flying around now it has to get one. One that also works as a fabricator making it the ultimate end game flyer. While also having a weight buff like the Argy’s. Dilo: -New Look / Spit Commands / Slow - The Dilo’s model isn’t horrible but it could def be updated and made more vibrant. After the first half hour or so of playing it becomes a pretty useless tame but I still love them. I would love for them to spit on command though. My idea is that when you whistle attack target at something, it still chases it like normal, but it spits in that direction, instantly, and every time you whistle attack target, until it is in melee range of the target. Plus for the spit to now slow the target slightly more. That paired with a good turret mode would actually make them a great base defense and toggling between attack and stop attack could really slow down fleeing tames in the early game if done right. Would just give them A LOT more utility. Carbonemys: -Retracts into Shell / Mobile Safe - The Carbonemys is ugly but honestly does resemble it’s paleo-art. Could still be cleaned up with better walking mechanics. A lot of the legacy Dinos need less derpy walking mechanics like you fixed the Trike, Stego’s, and Sarco’s. What our beach turtle really needs is a useful mechanic. I say “Bio-Safe”. First it needs to be able to retract into it’s shell like you guys have been promising it will be able to since release… giving it a huge defense buff. After that it just needs a weight buff and it is a mobile safe. One that could potentially be more useful for holding items than the actual safe which I wouldn’t mind myself. Plus it would make the turtles no one really pays much attention to into being a staple in every base. Probably whole floors dedicated to them afterwards. Would be the biggest turn around in ARK I think. Lastly this is unneeded but would fit since we never got a sea turtle like Archelon. Allowing it to not be affected my the water shockers or at least not affected by the jelly fish and giving it a buff on the toxin gather rate. They are both slow AF so it would make sense they are predator and prey and would give a major resource buff to the turtle. Araneo: -Silk Producer / Wall Climb / Web Grapple - We’ve been asking for this and I think the response was the Bloodstalker. Which is loved and appreciated. but the Araneo still should be more than an annoying mob in my opinion… these are all real animals even though they are created by a murder computer trying to make us suffer… My idea has always been to allow to climb walls, and use its web like a grapple hook that can ONLY go up and down (or back and forth with ARK physics lol) like the grapple hook does to drop down on unsuspecting survivors. Lastly they should give Silk as drops like the Lymantria (Moths) do… and honestly should be the only tamed creature that generates Silk in it’s inventory passively. Allowing us to make Silk farms with them. Onyc: -Perches like Des / Tamed spread Rabies - Just let it land man… lol these bats have been flapping them wings for 7 years… Desmodus pops in and it can already hang from ceilings lol which is amazing but I know you can add to the Onyc easily now since it has been put into the game. Please do it would really add a lot to them dropping down from the ceiling when you enter a cave. If we could whistle to the ceiling and it would perch that would be a real plus also. And I cannot find a for sure source that can clarify if tamed Onyc pass rabies still? to base intruders or whatever? If not, they def should… and it would be great to use them like a zip line with no cord. Just a gliding decent from where ever you jump from. Would make them actually useful around the base as defense and utility without having them flapping around my head all day lol the Phoenix has that problem too but it makes up for it in Silica Pearls! lmao. Anky: -Updated Look & Animations - Honestly the Anky just needs a new clean model and some better walking mechanics… I just didn’t want to leave it out. Same with the Bronto too honestly but there is still a lot of room for improvement there, the Anky kind of already does what it needs to… it’s just ugly lol. Well compared to new more modern additions to the game. It has just been working it’s little tail club off for us since this game was in early access and I think it should be updated is all… clean up our old friend please. +Anky’s club tail attack should also do torpor damage. This last one is not really needed but I’d love it if the Bigfoot and the Baboon could sit down all relaxed like the Sloth. I really hope you guys think about this… New Maps are always great but when you do something like this Legacy TLC it reinvigorates the whole game. Thank you for your time.
