## List of Confirmed Creatures to Come

Name\* - This creature is part of the Additional Creatures TLC lineup.
Purussaurus

Purussaurus is a reptile confirmed to appear in Additional Creatures 2: Wild ARK.

Purussaurus, meaning “Purus Lizard” after the Purus River in Peru where it was found, is a giant caiman that lived in the Miocene, 10 million years ago. Purussaurus is one of the largest crocodilians to exist, being 10 meters long and 6 tons, only beaten by Deinosuchus in size. It was the top predator in its environment, coexisting and hunting large mammals, along with living alongside fish like Megapiranha.

Purussaurus has had a long history in Additional Creatures. Purussaurus leviathan was added in the original Additional Creatures mod as an elusive oceanic leviathan, being the top predator of the oceans, where it would prey on anything that moves, including mosasaurus and tusoteuthis. It had high base stats, and the ability to grab and drag away creatures up to the size of Tyrannosaurus. While it did receive a remodel partly through the mod’s lifespan, it was eventually removed with the death of the mod itself. However, it received a TLC later in Additional Creatures 2: Wild ARK, where it changed in a few key ways. It became much more powerful, armored (only weak to epxlosives), and extremely large, matching mosasaurus in length. There was a catch, however, as it needed to be fed Apex Egg Kibble to tame. It also received nerfs after its addition, such as removing the grab ability (replacing it with a lunge that caused bleed), and caused it to slowly suffocate when on land. It was eventually removed again due to numerous bugs and visual issues (floating above the saddle and the lunge being very buggy to execute), but is planned to receive another TLC in the future.

Vir'ava

The Vir'ava is a boss creature confirmed to appear in the Popular Culture Expansion.

The Vir'ava is a creature that takes inspiration from the Leshen of Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. A boss of Popular Culture, it will not be found normally in the wild. Instead, totems can be found around the world, and the Vir'ava will appear if these totems are attacked. It will apparently not be extremely large for a boss, only around the height of an allosaurus, but it will be disproportionately powerful. It will be by default quite slow, however it will be able to enter a "smoke state" where it is invincible and very fast, but it cannot attack. The attacks were described in detail as well....

* Standard melee attacks which are slow, but will inflict bleed.
* Root Snare Attack
* Summons Microraptor and Ravager Minions (which are buffed and healed by the Vir'ava)
* A "Microraptor Wave" Attack

When defeated, the Vir'ava will drop a broken totem, which will be a vital ingredient to creating one's own tamed Vir'ava, albeit it will be much weaker than the wild counterpart.
Paraentelodon

Paraentelodon are mammals confirmed to appear in Additional Creatures 2: Wild ARK.

Paraentelodon, meaning "Near Complete Tooth", are a species of entelodont that lived in Asia during the Oligocene and Miocene epochs, around 25 million years ago. Paraentelodon stands out due to its sheer size. At 2 meters tall at the shoulder and 1.3 tons, it is the largely predatory land mammal to ever exist. It should be noted, however, that it is currently believed to be more herbivorous than other entelodonts like entelodon and daeodon. It is also believed that they were social animals, living in herds of both males and females. They were also known to be sexually dimorphic, with males being larger than females.

It is unknown how Paraentelodon will be in Additional Creatures. Its concept art has been revealed, however.
Additional Creatures 2: Paranoia

**Additional Creatures 2: Paranoia** is the third member of the Additional Creatures series. While originally an expansion for Additional Creatures 2: Wild ARK, it has since graduated into its own, separate mod. It has the same style as Additional Creatures 2: Wild ARK, but focuses entirely on adding cryptids to the game, rather than prehistoric animals, as rare and exotic critters for survivors to tame.

**Additional Creatures 2: Paranoia on Steam**
Chunkyceratops

Chunkyceratops is a boss creature confirmed to appear in Additional Creatures 2: Wild ARK.

Chunkyceratops is a hybrid creature confirmed to appear in Additional Creatures. It is noted to be primarily a hybrid of the Chungkingosaurus and Eotriceratops, having characteristics of both like venom and the ability to charge and jump. It is meant to be the perfect combination of offense and defense. While its appearance and characteristics are known, its role ingame is not. It's not known if its even a boss or has characteristics akin to other hybrids, albeit it is speculatively thought to be so right now.
Elephantosaurus

Elephantosaurus are synapsids in Additional Creatures.

## Synopsis

Elephantosaurus, despite the size and name, is not a dinosaur. It is in fact, actually, a massive relative of the miniscule Lystrosaurus! A bulky herbivore, this creature is not to be understimated. It's surprisingly fast for its size, and can use its weight to its advantage in a battle. Tamed, they make excellent transport and combat mounts for their tier, being considered a "bulkier triceratops" by some.

Pezosiren

Pezosiren is a mammal confirmed to appear in Additional Creatures: Endemics.

Pezosiren, meaning "Walking Sirenian", is a very early sirenian species that lived in Jamaica during the Eocene Epoch. It still had fully functional limbs, but the structure of its jaws and teeth indicated that, like modern manatees and dugongs it is the ancestor of, it fed on marine plants. It is believed it was a semi-aquatic creature that lived in and around the saltwater lagoons that it called home, swimming around in a similar manner to a hippo.

It is unknown exactly what role Pezosiren will play in Additional Creatures. It is mostly just confirmed, although the developer has shown interest in making it "sniff out" rare resources, much like a truffle pig. The design also shows it with algae growing on its back, like with what happens with many modern sirenians.

Viperwing

Viperwings are fantasy creatures in Additional Creatures.

## Mod

Additional Creatures 2: Wild ARK (Roya Creations Expansion)

## Synopsis

A creature resembling a cross between a pterosaur and a snake. An agile aerial predator, Viperwing also boasts a potent venom, much like a normal snake. For those wanting an early flier a bit better in combat than Pteranodon, Viperwing is a good go-to. Its slightly more durable and its venomous bite allows for more hit-and-run tactics when the fight gets tough, allowing for more flexible options of attack. The only downside in combat is it has no ability to attack enemy riders directly like pteranodon. however for those who favor more direct combat, Viperwing proves its use.

Brachauchenius

Brachauchenius is a reptile in Additional Creatures.

## Synopsis

Brachauchenius is one of the ocean’s apex predators. Rivaling Prognathodon, Mosasaurus, Tusoteuthis and Purussaurus, Brachauchenius is a gigantic relative of the much smaller Liopleurodon. Most other apexes of the ocean seem to focus on sheer power. While Brachauchenius is indeed a powerful animal, it seems to have traded some strength and durability for agility. Brachauchenius uses its four long, strong flippers for surprising maneuverability and agility- lacking a drastic turning radius like many other large animals: its even capable of turning in place if needed! With knife-like teeth that shred and cause bleeding, this powerful ocean predator is a versatile must-have for any survivor’s oceanic arsenal.

The Brachauchenius can turn in place.

The Brachauchenius is immune to electrocution and resistant to electric-type attacks.

The Brachauchenius has a "hunger" mechanic, where once it has feasted on a corpse it will become neutral towards players and creatures. This pacified state is indicated by a green aura around its head, which is when it is susceptible to passive taming.

While capable of being tamed using both common methods, Brachauchenius tames 5x more effectively with passive taming.

## Notes/Trivia

* Brachauchenius means "Short Neck".
* Brachauchenius is only one of three bearers of the hunger mechanic, along with Metriacanthosaurus and the Tiger Shark.
* In ARK, Brachauchenius is one of the ocean's largest predators, being on par with Mosasaurus, and Tusoteuthis. Its only true fear is Purussaurus.
* Brachauchenius is one of the last pliosaurs known to exist before the group became extinct during an ambiguous extinction event 90 million years ago. It's unknown what caused this extinction event, but it's believed to be the cause of the extinctions of various other groups such as ichthyosaurs, allosauroid theropods, and spinosaurs.
* The Brachauchenius's design is inspired by the Liopleurodon from Walking with Dinosaurs.
Apatosaurus

## Mod

Additional Creatures 2: Wild ARK

Apatosaurus is a dinosaurs in Additional Creatures.

## Synopsis

Apatosaurus is a large, lumbering sauropod and one of the largest on the island. However, it is by far no means just a lumbering behemoth. For its size, the sauropod is surprisingly fast, and it has multiple methods of offense. While it has standard tail swings for dealing with flanking attackers and can deliver crushing stomps to anything under its feet, Apatosaurus comes is also known for utilizing the long reach of its neck to bite down on distant targets or those trying to flee, granting it a wide range of flexibility for a combat mount or harvester.

## Notes/Trivia

* Apatosaurus means "Deceptive Lizard".
* Apatosaurus is part of the family of sauropods called Diplodocids, which are known for their light build and whip-like tails. Diplodocus and Brontosaurus, who is Apatosaurus's closest relative, are also diplodocids. Apatosaurus, as well as Brontosaurus, are known to be heavily built for diplodocids, being the same size as Diplodocus despite it being 30% shorter, perhaps that also explain why Apatosaurus is fast for its size, since Diplodocus in ARK is pretty fast, faster than tamed raptor.
* Apatosaurus is meant to function as the "assault sauropod"
* Apatosaurus was originally added to the JPE Rebalance Expansion of Additional Creatures 2: Wild ARK. It was planned to eventually receive a TLC with its own distinct design, but this was scrapped, and the Apatosaurus was planned to be removed entirely with the JPE Rebalance expansion's cancellation. However, it has since received a TLC with a new model and animations, originating from Jagged Fang Designs. It is now able to be passively tamed, along with having its attacks slightly tweaked, along with the addition of a sit and back stomp attack.
Keter

Keter is a boss creature confirmed to appear in Additional Creatures: Paranoia.

Keter in Additional Creatures is a hybrid that is very obscure, as most of its description comes from outdated lore scripts. Keter is described as a gray-ish quadropedal reptilian with a bird-like head, spike-like horns, and covered with long, shaggy fur. It is noted for its rather brutal feeding style and very unstable behavior. It is unknown exactly how it will be ingame.

They are also confirmed to be less powerful than Armaedron. Known as the "Valhalla Lightning Dragon", as well as the male counterpart to Zionzora, Zionzerak is primarily at home in the air, where it can smite those below with thunder from its claws. It will also be able to use its wings to shield itself from attacks, and counterattack. The thunder from claws ability is a reference to Zeus.

It is unknown when Zionzerak will appear in Additional Creatures, all that is known is the following teaser image. It was the third monster to be teased this way.
Cryptoclidus

Cryptoclidus are reptiles in Additional Creatures.

## Synopsis

A small, extremely fluid and athletic relative of Plesiosaur and Hydrotherosaurus. Cryptoclidus is a friendly and agile predator which darts through the water after its favorite prey: smaller fish. If befriended by being fed fish, Cryptoclidus proves one of the ocean's best early game and agile mounts. It is decently fast, has great stamina, is able to deal with Jellyfish, and can undertake quick maneuvers to strike a foe while mitigating damage to itself. Quick, decently powerful, agile, and able to help harvest resources: Cryptoclidus is a great mount for any survivor wanting to get their feet wet.

Genomic Quetzalcoatlus

Genomic Quetzalcoatlus are hybrid reptiles confirmed to appear in Additional Creatures 2: Wild ARK.

While only mentioned by name and showcasing its model, it is more than likely to be a semi-hybrid akin to Genomic Spinosaurus, and obtained using the same methods. It is also known that the males will have a more pronounced crest than the females.
Partridge Creek Beast

Partridge Creek Beasts are cryptid dinosaurs in Additional Creatures.

## Synopsis

The Partridge Creek Beast was a very rarely seen cryptid from the cold north of Canada's Yukon. Sighted to be a 12 meter, ceratosaurus-like predator covered in either fur or feathers. While its safe to assume its a genetically altered ceratosaur or juvenile yutyrannus, survivors are swearing that what's hunting the mammals of the north is completely different. Its an aggressive predator that uses its size to ward off smaller foes and run down targets, while also using a fierce set of horns to gore its victims. If such a theropod did exist, it would likely be a powerful mount for exploring the frozen wastes of the tundra.

The Partridge Creek Beast gives an insulation buff to its rider.

## Notes/Trivia

* The Partridge Creek Beast was originally sighted in Partridge Creek, Yukon Canada, apparently dragging away a caribou it killed. The original sighting ruined the reputation of those who claimed to have seen the creature.
* The Partridge Creek Beast in the mod was originally planned to have spite towards mammals, in a similar way Smok saurovindico does with dinosaurs. This role, however, was given to the Emela Ntouka instead.
Crichtonsaurus

Crichtonsaurus is a dinosaur confirmed to appear in Additional Creatures 2: Wild ARK.

Crichtonsaurus, named after Michael Crichton: the author of Jurassic Park, is a small species of ankylosaur that lived 75 million years ago in China. Not much is known about this creature, only being known from a few bones, but it is known for its small size, only being around 3 meters long.

Crinchtonsaurus is planned in Additional Creatures to be almost be completely immune to damage. The only exception will be damage over time status effects like venom and bleed. The mod developer also has his own idea of it having an on-command "crouch" move, which will essentially make the chrictonsaurus act as cover for PvP players, because bullets and explosives will do absolutely nothing to it.
Anomalocaris

Anomalocaris is an invertebrate in Additional Creatures.

## Synopsis

One of the larger, and rarer, arthropods of the island. Anomalocaris boasts colors similar to a mantis shrimp...and a similar type of niche! Although it happily feeds on other smaller arthropods primarily, the Anomalocaris is a creature fully capable of puncturing through stone. If this powerful “head punch” wasnt enough, Anomalocaris is highly valued by survivors for it's unique ability to not also carry more silica and black pearls, but also gather much more of those resources than any other creature!

Anomalocaris takes 75% of incoming damage.

## Notes/Trivia

* The Anomalocaris in Additional Creatures, if one hasn't already noticed the parralels, was heavily inspired by the modern mantis shrimp.
* Anomalocaris means "Odd Shrimp".
* Anomalocaris is one of the few animals in ARK or Additional Creatures where there's very few possible comparisons to modern animals, with the closest possible comparison being to a shrimp, despite it not being a shrimp.
* The Anomalocaris is one of the few Cambrian creatures in ARK, with the only other Cambrian life being the base game's Trilobite and Jellyfish.
* Anomalocaris was originally in the original Additional Creatures mod, but has since been moved to Additional Creatures: Aquaria. It received color regions much later.
Bramatherium

Bramatherium are mammals confirmed to appear in an upcoming Additional Creatures 2 expansion.

Baramatherium, meaning "Brahma's Beast" after the Hindu god of creation, is a species of Giraffe that live throughout Asia during the Miocene and Pliocene epochs. Bramatherium is a close relative of the much larger Sivatherium, being similar in body build. It's distinct by the crown of 4 horns upon its head.

The design of Bramatherium has been revealed, but that is all that is known as of now for its addition into Additional Creatures.
Europasaurus

Europasaurus are dinosaurs in Additional Creatures.

## Synopsis

A mid-sized sauropod, Europasaurus is a relative of Brachiosaurus and a common sight in the island's various forests. Relatively placid, Europasaurus are tamed by survivors for their versatility. They are generally easier to obtain than Camarasaurus, and while they arent as powerful, they are far faster. Their smaller size allows them to safely go into a full sprint, allowing them to move quickly when needed. This further adds to the appeal of this easy-to-obtain sauropod. While not the best, it makes an excellent early tame for survivors. Capable of traveling well, defending from most smaller threats, and hauling resources easily!

* Europasaurus is one of the world's smallest sauropods. It is this small size due to being subjected to islandic dwarfism. It lived on an island, and has shrunk due to limited resources. It is believed to have become extinct due to large invasive carnivores from larger nearby isles.
* Europasaurus's model is the same as ARK's Brachiosaurus.
Atmospheric Jellyfish

Atmospheric Jellyfish are cryptid invertebrates in Additional Creatures.

## Synopsis

Atmospheric Jellyfish are absolutely massive Jellyish sighted on extremely rare occasion back on the planet of our time. Little known and little understood, most people found their existence hard to believe in. Yet here on the stations it appears people are seeing something similar in the skies of the arks. Large, luminous jellyfish which float carefree throughout the sky, collecting whatever particulate they can. A bizzare sort of filter-feeder, it has no need to hunt and seems to simply avoid contact when struck. However, the chemicals and compounds that make up its body grant it strange physical defenses. It is next to impervious to all types of physical damage, with bullets basically going straight through it and not phasing it. It is presumed that if one were to kill an Atmospheric Jellyfish, it might be better to take on a form of chemical approach..

Drops Atmospheric Jellyfish Toxin, Congealed Gas Balls, and Element.

## Notes/Trivia

* The Atmospheric Jellyfish is a cryptid that is classed as a UFO.
* The Jellyfish is the only creature in Additional Creatures so far to be untamable.
* Sightings of this cryptid are incredibly rare. It was first spotted in the Netherlands in 1974 and has been spotted a handful of times since around the world.
* The Atmospheric Jellyfish originally shared the same model as standard jellyfish, however, it was changed to the same model as the Jellyfish from Atlas.
Acrocanthosaurus

Acrocanthosaurus is a dinosaur confirmed to appear in Additional Creatures 2: Wild ARK.

Acrocanthosaurus, meaning "High-Spined Lizard", was a large meat-eating dinosaur that lived throughout North America during the Early Cretaceous, 110 million years ago. Known for its high spine, which would have formed a tall back full of muscle in life, Acrocanthosaurus is one of the largest theropod dinosaurs, easily getting up to 12 meters long and over 5 tons, reigning as the top predator of its ecosystem. Acrocanthosaurus is a carcharodontosaur, a clade of carnosaur dinosaurs known for their serrated teeth and larger sizes. Acrocanthosaurus is the only one known from North America, and one of the first to achieve such gigantic sizes. Traces from Acrocanthosaurus are very widespread, with very complete remains and trackways found all across North America, from coast to coast. These trackways are some of the most detailed known from any theropod dinosaur, with extremely rare evidence of hunting and courting behavior found through these trackways.

Acrocanthosaurus has history in Additional Creatures, being the first animal ever added alongside Megaraptor and Achillobator. It acted as a lighter, faster, status alternate to Tyrannosaurus that lived in open habitats, akin to the current Carcharodontosaurus. Unlike its two contemporaries however, it was removed due to the addition of Acrocanthosaurus into ARK Additions. Years later, it has confirmed to return with the following model, its is planned to be able to inflict a status effect that drains stamina, and disable certain abilities once the target is below 40% HP.
Protostega

Protostega are reptiles in Additional Creatures.

## Synopsis

A very large, docile sea turtle. Protostega is a common sight both in the open ocean and coastal shallows. A carnivore, its diet consists of largely jellyfish and small fish. As such, it is a completely friendly animal and one can approach without much concern. As one would expect, its large shell makes it extremely defensive. While having strong jaws with a sharp beak, Protostega is not exactly lacking in the defense department either. When in water, it is capable of giving a powerful headbutt which can knock out potential threats, giving the turtle time to escape. If tamed, Protostega is a tanky ocean traveler. Most predators don't bother the turtle due to its natural armor, and it is effective at harvesting biotoxin. So while safe, and it can defend itself if needed...be careful with more dangerous threats around!

Loch Ness Monster

Loch Ness Monster is a boss creature confirmed to appear in Additional Creatures: Paranoia.

The Loch Ness Monster is perhaps the most well-known cryptid of all time, only beaten by Bigfoot in popularity. Supposedly inhabiting the Loch Ness in Scotland, the Loch Ness Monster, lovingly nicknamed Nessie, is the most well-known lake monster. It was first sighted in the 1930s, which varied in various sightings including a giant blob, to a giant otter, to a strange llama-type creature. It is the plesiosaur-like form, however, which has been popularized and sustained in pop culture over the many years. The lake monster's high popularity means it is one of the most sighted cryptids, with hundreds of known sightings, and also one of the most heavily studied, with there being countless searches for the monster, with all of them either coming out with nothing or claiming the creature to be a hoax.

The Loch Ness Monster is confirmed to be the final boss of the Paranoia Expansion. Its design has been revealed, which is reminiscent of both plesiosaurs and seals.
Additional Creatures Presents: Kulaph Creatures

**Additional Creatures Presents: Kulaph Creatures** is a collobarative mod between the Additional Creatures mod developer, Shadlos, and mod developer Askulaph (or Kulkulaph). The mod adds in the creation of Askulaph in ARK Additional Creatures, with the sole creature so far being Susecdurus.

Zionzora

Zionzora is a fantasy creature confirmed to appear in Additional Creatures: Grand Hunt.

Zionzerak and Zionzora are a pair of elder dragons (originally classified as monarch dragons) that stand on their two feet, and are known for their abnormally long claws. They are also confirmed to be less powerful than Armaedron. Known as the "Valkyrie Lightning Dragon", as well as the female counterpart to Zionzerak, Zionzora is a largely terrestrial creature. Although capable of shooting thunder from its mouth, her claws are her main weapons. Along with being a capable melee fighter, she is capable of clanging her claws together to produce an extremely loud thunder-like sound, stunning enemies.

It is unknown when Zionzora will appear in Additional Creatures, all that is known is the following teaser image. It was the fourth monster to be teased this way.
Ceratosaurus

Ceratosaurus is a species of dinosaur confirmed to appear in Additional Creatures: Kami Creations.

Ceratosaurus, meaning "Horned Lizard", was a medium-sized theropod dinosaur that lived during the Late Jurassic, 155 million years ago. Ceratosaurus is noted for being relative small compared to apex predators such as Allosaurus and Torvosaurus, but has various distinct characteristics. It is among one of the Jurassic's most widespread theropods, being known in North America, Europe, and Africa. It is also noted for having a relationship with aquatic habitats, indicating that it hunted around water sources. This would give it a different niche from the larger predators it coexisted with.

It is unknown how Ceratosaurus will be in Additional Creatures, it is only confirmed.
Kronosaurus

Kronosaurus is a reptile in Additional Creatures.

## Synopsis

A mid-sized pliosaur, Kronosaurus stands out from practically everything else in the ocean. First off, despite being an aggressive predator, it seems intelligent enough to know Humans are better left alone than hunted, so it pays them no mind unless attacked first. Secondly is its lifestyle. While mosasaurs, plesiosaurs, and pliosaurs are completely waterbound and voyage their entire life in the sea...Kronosaurus does not. Kronosaurus's body structure is very strong, as are its flippers- allowing it to haul itself on land and remain there as long as it would like- as people have often sighted these aquatic creatures hauling themselves ashore at dusk in a safe spot to sleep and avoid terrestrial predators, or snag a carcass on the beach or similar easy prey. They also tend to enjoy swimming at the surface of the water, only diving down on select occasions or when hunting. When befriended, Kronosaurus's powerful, rapid jaws can prove of use for those who want a flexible and powerful animal as their mount.

Denorchacu

Denorchacu is a fantasy creature confirmed to appear in Additional Creatures: Grand Hunt.

Denorchacu, or The Dark Thunder Beast, is a creature of the fanged beast classification with an affinity for electricity. Using the shaggy fur on its body to charge static electricity, the beast is a fast and agile predator, which shakes and flings the fur off itself, which acts as an anchor point for its thunder to shoot out at opponents. While normally immune to tranqs, the electricity on its body will short circuit when hit with a heavy attack, becoming susceptible to torpor for a short period. This allows it to be knocked out and tamed. The design and mechanics of the Denorchacu were inspired by the Sulyvhan's Beast of Dark Souls 3 and Darkbeast Paarl of Bloodborne.
Alpha Predators

Alpha Predators are creatures in Additional Creatures which have an alpha variant akin to those in the main game. These alphas are bigger and stronger than the regular variant and they are not tameable.

## Overview

Alpha Predators are stronger variants of regular animals in Additional Creatures. They are usually easy to spot, being much larger than their regular counterparts, sporting sharp red/white/black coloration, and having an orange cinder-like glow around them. They also have the distinct ability to damage stone structures. They've been added to the mod for a few reasons. First is that it adds to the mod's authenticity, having the same upfront purpose of the regular ARK alphas: a "miniboss" of sorts to increase difficulty. However, there is also another reason. Alpha Predators, when killed, drop Alpha Blood, which is used in the crafting of Prime Darts, as well as giving the engrams to various tek saddles for creatures in the mod, Chibi-Pets, and chests of Additional Creatures saddles and gear. Killing an Alpha Predator for the first time also unlocks the Prime Dart engram for the player. If you encounter an alpha as a new player, or as a low-level character, it is strongly suggested that you evade the Alpha.
Jersey Devil

Jersey Devil is a fantasy creature confirmed to appear in Additional Creatures 2: Paranoia.

The Jersey Devil is a demonic-like creature that supposedly exists in the Pine Barrens of New Jersey. The creature is described as mammalian and kangaroo-like in posture, with goat-like legs and head, bat-like wings, and a devil-esc forked tail. It originated as more of a local legend, as a supposed devil that was birthed by the Leeds family in the 1700's. The Jersey Devil, originally known as "Leeds Devil" was the equivalent of a ghost story or urban legend in the 1700's and 1800's. It wasn't until the 1900's that the well-known depiction of Jersey Devil was established and it was given a cryptid status, with many people claiming to have seen it in the New Hersey Pine Barrens.

The Jersey Devil in Additional Creatures is known to be a predatory omnivore that will only take apex egg kibble for taming. Its design has been revealed, with its horns taking inspiration from Geep and Markhor horns.
Voay

Voay is a reptile confirmed to appear in Additional Creatures 2: Wild ARK.

Voay is a crocodile species that used to live in Madagascar during the Holocene. It is very similar in size and appearance to the Nile Crocodile, which has since replaced it on Madagascar, but is distinct by having a pair of horn-like structures on the back of its head. It is believed that the arrival of humans on Madagascar is what caused it to go extinct, with the last individuals dieing out about 2000 years ago.

Voay is planned in Additional Creatures to live exclusively in the Element Chamber, where it swims in element rather than water. It is a creature that is planned to be quite capable as a land fighter, even if it is inherently aquatic. It will be quite mobile on land, with its movement being based around modern land-capable crocodiles like Cuban and Freshwater Crocodiles, and its role in the mod will be an indiscriminate fighter to those that are sensitive to charge and element. Nameless and seekers are its main prey in the element chamber, and its damaging abilities against these specific creatures also has it capable of be incredibly effective against corrupted creatures, although it is notable for still being too weak to affect certain species like Reapers.
Storm Drake

Storm Drakes are fantasy creatures in Additional Creatures.

## Mod

Additional Creatures 2: Wild ARK (Roya Creations Expansion)

## Synopsis

A brute-force relative of the Rock Drake, Managarmr, and Wyvern, Storm Drakes are large draconic creatures found in high-altitude environments. Despite their awkward anatomy, they are extremely strong, with powerful jaws and bulky bodies that make them vicious in close quarters combat. Storm Drake seem to be a creature augmented or influenced by Element, but in a rather unique way. It seems it uses elemental energy to create Electrical energy. It can fire this energy in a breath attack in the form of a burst-like spray, but it's only a small side effect. Storm Drake also gets its name from its ability to shoot through the air. Not flying, but a strange form of magnetic-held flight held aloft, boosting around at high speeds. While this travel is fast, it is also very clumsy in quick reflex, but excellent in long-distance travel. While it takes time to get used to the feeling and controls of a gliding Storm Drake, it offers a lighting-fast opportunity to travel.
