Karkinos

*Karkinos Versatus is the giant cousin of modern crab species, with long, spindly limbs that remind me of the Japanese Spider Crab and a hard, stony shell. It is much more agile than its smaller brethren, but even more noticeable are its pincer claws.*
*In an extraordinary display of dexterity, Karkinos is able to wield each claw independently and precisely. This allows it to trap multiple targets in its vice like grip, or hold an enemy in one claw while it smashes a second foe with the other.*
*Domesticated*
*Many survivors have found Karkinos to be an excellent war steed, as it can snatch enemy riders from their mounts, or grab and throw smaller creatures. However, its ability to leap to great heights and its swiftness relative to its size also make it useful in caravans.*
Mek

The **Mek** is a craftable item that can only be crafted at a Tek Replicator.

## Overview

The Mek is a massive 100ft tall robot that can be used as a vehicle/mount. Crafting requires 25 Black Pearls, 225 Crystals, 40 Element, 1000 Metal Ingots, and 350 Polymer (only if crafting a lvl 51 type). It is equipped with a Plasma sword and a Plasma pistol. The pistol consumes a large amount of Element and should be used wisely. The robot also comes equipped with rocket boosters on its feet which allow it to hover off the ground for a short time before overheating. Element is also required for the rocket boosters to be used.

The robot is very slow when walking and quite fast when sprinting. It however can not be leveled up due to it having a permanent level after crafting it.
DodoRex

"Apparently they live somewhere on the beach. he can be attracted by a large concentrations of Dodo. I first encountered this creature while watching the hunting of another tribe. He suddenly appeared and attacked hunters. How could such a monster be born at all?"

The **DodoRex** is an event only creature found on the Ark.

## Trivia

* The DodoRex is actually a user-made creature by DragonAsis and Drugged Kaddy.
* In Ark Digest #11 it was asked if the DodoRex will be implemented. It was confirmed, that "it will make a limited-event appearance on certain, very special days this year."
* The Dodorex was released during the ARK: Fear Evolved event in October, and later reappeared during the ARK: Turkey Trial event in November and the ARK: Winter Wonderland event in December and January.
Megapithecus

The **Megapithecus** is an end game boss in *ARK: Survival Evolved* that can be accessed by opening a portal to the Megapithecus Arena at an Obelisk or Beacon. It can also appear in Survival of the Fittest.

## Appearance

The Megapithecus is a giant ape that can throw giant boulders. It can also summon normal, smaller Gigantopithecus and Mesopithecus which will attack anyone near.

## Location

The Megapithecus is located in the Megapithecus Arena beneath the Blue Obelisk that is exclusively accessed at an Obelisk and will not naturally spawn.

## Taming

The Megapithecus can only be tamed by using the command :**admincheat forcetame**. This command can only be used by the **admin** of the server.

## Portal to Arena

The following items are required to open the portal.

* 8 Megalodon Teeth
* 4 Tyrannosaurus Arms
* 4 Argentavis Talons
* 2 Sauropod Vertebrae
* Artifact of the Hunter
* Artifact of the Pack
* Artifact of the Clever
* Artifact of the Massive
* Artifact of the Skylord
* Artifact of the Devourer
* Artifact of the Strong
* Artifact of the Immune

Obtain all of the required items and locate an Obelisk or Beacon with the imprinted blueprint. A portal to the Megapithecus Arena will open.

## The Battle

It is recommended to find a rock in the arena; when the Megapithecus attacks with giant boulders, hide behind it. Then, after the attack, shoot over or around the rock. It can also summon "minion" Gigantopithecus and Mesopithecus.

## Loot

The Megapithecus drops two rewards: a Megapithecus Flag and Megapithecus Trophy.
Fan Art/Sinoceratops (Shadlos)

This creature/item/feature is fan created and should not be treated as confirmed.

## Sinoceratops

### **Tameable**

Yes

"Having unique jaws allows Sinoceratops to have an omnivorous diet, allowing it to ether graze on foliage or scavenge from carcasses".
"Being only slightly smaller than a Trike, Sinos capitalize on speed in place of power, although their one large horn and forward-facing frill spikes can still inflict fetal and goring wounds".
"Even before it gets up to full speed, Sinoceratops is definitely faster and more moble than their larger cousins. Although they cannot take or give as much punishment, they are more adaption, being able to outpace our outmaneuver their cousins. Their sharp beak is also ideal for harvesting not also fiber, but even choice cuts of "prime meat" as well".

**Sinoceratops** is a fan-made small omnivorous dinosaur found on the Ark.

## Trivia

* The fan-dossier was uploaded on May 6, 2016.
* The real-life counterpart was likely an herbivore and probably would not have eaten meat.

## Gallery

Fan Art/Lambeosaurus (Scriffignano)

This creature/item/feature is fan created and should not be treated as confirmed.

## Lambeosaurus

### **Tameable**

Yes

"When unable to run from danger, Lambeosaurus use the intricate nasal structure in its horn to deter and confuse its attacker with the ability to mimic any other animal its heard before. Too high strung to be topored and too scared of everything to be approached, many tribes believed this animal to be untamable".
"It wasnt until one tribe discovered that this animal loves music did i realize that this is possibly the easiest animals to tame walking right up to a survivor at the first hint of a tune. Once tamed though, these animals serve a unique purpose that can be useful in scouting and in war. Not only can these animals mimic others, but their hearing is so well adapted, they can locate other members of the herd/tribe anywhere on the island with almost pinpoint accuracy. Also when used in a group, these animals are so loud that it can scare off or even anger an attacking tribe's dinosaurs. I once saw a group of them enraged a Giganto to the point where it actually turned and killed its entire tribe before running off a cliff".

**Lambeosaurus** is a fan-made large herbivorous dinosaur found on the Ark.

## Trivia

* The fan-dossier was uploaded on November 9, 2015.
* The Jurassic Park Institute artwork of Lambeosaurus was used for making this dossier.
Crystal

**Crystal** is a resource found on top of mountains or in caves. Crystal is harvested from shiny white crystals by using the Metal Pick or Ankylosaurus. Using a Stone Pick will likely produce Stone, as crystals do sometimes, even with a Metal Pick. Crystals are mostly used in electronics and optics.
Diseases

**Diseases** are dangerous pathogens that can negatively impact a Survivor or creatures. On a PvE server, the contraction of diseases is limited to members of the same Tribe. Wild creatures cannot contract diseases.

## Types of Diseases

### Swamp Fever

Swamp Fever is a disease that can be contracted by a Survivor or tamed Dodo either by being bitten by the Diseased Leech found in the swamps of the Ark or from an infected Survivor or creature. Swamp Fever persists after death until the Survivor levels up and can be cured with the Lesser Antidote. Swamp Fever reduces stats, lowers stamina regeneration, increases movement speed, decreases food, water, and oxygen consumption, puts a green cloud over the Survivor's head, and makes the Survivor cough periodically until cured.
Aberration Mystery Creature 2

The **Aberration Mystery Creature 1** is one of the creatures in the ARK: Aberration expansion pack.

## Trivia

* The creature was first announced in the community crunch 102 at September 9, 2017.
* the mystery creature seems to be a Glowtail

### Trivia not relevant for the game

* This creature is perhaps inspired by the common flying dragon (Draco volans) and the various prehistoric flying lizards (Icarosaurus, Xianglong and Coelurosauravus).
Cooked Prime Fish Meat

**Cooked Prime Fish Meat** is a consumable used for food and is produced by cooking Raw Prime Fish Meat in the Campfire or Industrial Grill.

## Uses

Cooked Prime Fish Meat is a preferred food for survivors, does not cause the health loss associated with eating Raw Prime Fish Meat. Carnivores also eat it, but prefer Raw Prime Fish Meat.

Chalicotherium

* In Ark: Survival Evolved
* In Real Life

*Found in small numbers within the Island's colder regions, Chalicotherium Obsideoquus is normally a peaceful herbivore that prefers to spend its days lazing about or playing with it's family. It is very territorial, however, and the entire family, young and old, will turn against an encroaching creature at just the slightest provocation.*
*A strange scene to stumble upon is a group of Chalicotherium playing. One odd playtime activity for Chalicotherium is hurling large balls of snow or mud-rocks at each other. Smaller creatures in the area shy away from Chalicotherium during this exertion, for fear of being buried in snow or gravel.*
*Domesticated*
*While many creatures are useful while attacking a fortress, Chalicotherium can be trained as mobile artillery. Its unique playtime habit becomes a rather devastating long-range assault tactic when it is given boulders to throw, rather than snowballs!*

The **Chalicotherium** is a large herbivorous mammal found on the Ark.

### Drops

* Raw Meat
* Hide
* Raw Prime Meat

## Appearance

Perhaps the oddest mammal on the island, the Chalicotherium is best described as a hybrid between a horse, a gorilla, and a panda. Like a gorilla, it walks on its knuckles, but whereas apes have hands, the Chalicotherium bears wicked claws. These claws are usually used for pulling leafy branches towards its mouth, but can also be deadly in combat. The creature seems to bear some rudimentary intelligence not unlike an otter as troops of them can be seen hurling snowballs at each other like some sort of war game - something that also proves handy against local predators like Hyaenodons and Direwolves.

## Domestication

### Taming

The Chalicotherium is unable to be tamed through the standard tranquilize-and-feed methods, and must be tamed non-violently.

To feed it, place Beer Jars on the last slot of your hotbar, then when approached press use (default E) to feed it. You cannot feed them all the food required for taming at one time, you must wait every couple of minutes until it is hungry again to feed it more until its taming meter is filled.

## Trivia

* Chalicotherium was officially revealed by Drake on July 23, 2015.
* The dossier was revealed by Jat on January 25, 2016.
* Obsidioequus means "Siege Horse" in Latin, referring to its relation to horses and its catapult-like capabilities.

### Trivia not relevant for the game

* Despite looking like a cross between a giraffe and a gorilla, Chalicotherium is a close relative of horses and rhinoceroses, with its closest living relatives being tapirs.
* Chalicotherium means "Pebble Beast" in Greek, referring to its oddly shaped teeth, which fall out when they reach adulthood.
Dilophosaurus

*Dilophosaurus Sputatrix is a strange creature. It stands at just over half the size of known Dilophosaurus and runs from agressors as often as it fights them. Dilophosaurus Sputatrix has a few traits not common in the Dilophosaurus genus. It has a very small shrill call, and a decorative ridge of skin on its neck. I believe these are used to attract mates, as well as intimidate prey and would-be predators.*
*Instead of attacking its prey outright, Dilophosaurus Sputatrix spits venom to weaken and paralyze it before moving in for the kill.*
*Domesticated*
*Because of their shrill cry and their ability to attack intruders from range, Dilophosaurus seem most suited as "guard dogs". Due to their small size, they are not suitable as mounts.*

The **Dilophosaurus** or **Dilo** is a small carnivorous dinosaur found on the Ark.

## Domestication

As with all dilos the amount of food needed to tame them and the number of Narcoberries or Narcotics to keep them unconscious depends on the level of the Dilophosaurus, but is around 15 meat and 10 Narcoberries for lower levels.

## Location

The Dilophosaurus will spawn anywhere above ground and on land and can quite commonly be seen walking throughout Ark at a steady pace, from a distance they can bare resemblance to the Raptor given their similar size.

Dilophosaurus can be found both singular and in packs from 3 to 5 and will more than likely be Mate Boosted when within packs.

## Eggs

**Dilo Egg**s are randomly dropped by Dilophosaurus, they are white with pick speckle. They can be eaten or used to make Kibble for taming Ankylosaurus, Doedicurus, or Pachycephalosaurus.

## Leveling statistics

* Base Statistics
	+ **Health:** 130
	+ **Stamina:** 100
	+ **Oxygen:** 150
	+ **Food:** 450
	+ **Weight:** 50
	+ **Melee Damage:** 100%
	+ **Movement Speed:** 100%
	+ **Torpor:** 75
		- **Torpor:** increased to by 6

## Trivia

* The name of the Dilophosaurus is derived from the Greek words di (δι) meaning "two", lophos (λόφος) meaning "crest", and sauros (σαυρος) meaning "lizard"; thus means "two-crested lizard".
* Dilophosaurus is not ridable, however, they have the ability to carry items for the player, having a base weight carry of approximately 50 weight.
* Dilophosaurus venom will slow other dinosaurs, thereby making them suitable companions when taking down fast moving animals, or fleeing from the more dangerous ones.
* Dilophosaurus are easier to kill compared to other dinosaurs and can serve as a source of food in critical situations.

* In their stomach inventory, they will rarely drop Nerdry Glasses, a reference to Dennis Nedry from the movie *Jurassic Park*, who wore these glasses and was killed and eaten by Dilophosaurus.
* *ARK: Survival Evolved* utilizes Jurassic Park's vision of the dinosaur, a small venom spitting theropod dinosaur, when in reality the Dilophosaurus was a theropod capable of reaching twenty feet (6 meters) in length. Further, there is no scientific evidence they could shoot venom or were venomous at all nor of a neck frill.
Baryonyx

*Like the Carnotaurus, Baryonyx Aquafulgur is on the smaller end of the tier of large predators. While not as powerful as some deep-sea predators or Spinosaurus, Baryonyx is an extremely fast swimmer who is still nimble enough to threaten most creatures on the island.*
*And yet despite being a fast, dangerous dinosaur, Baryonyx almost exclusively eats fish & other water-dwellers. The highly specific metabolism of Baryonyx seems to allow it to heal wounds almost preternaturally fast after feeding on nutritious fish meat.*
*Perhaps this is why Baryonx rarely attacks land animals?*
*Domesticated*
*Baryonyx's natural affinity for aquatic predation means that once tamed, it learns to kill ocean-dwellers even more efficiently.*
*Between its speed and its power, Baryonyx makes an ideal choice for anyone interested in frequently moving between water and land travel with ease, and valuing speed and agility over raw strength.*

The **Baryonyx** is a medium sized carnivorous (piscivorous) dinosaur found near water throughout the Ark.

## Trivia

* The dossier was revealed on August 14, 2015
* Its specific name means "Water Lighting".
* The dossier mentions the ability to recover health faster after ingesting fish. This may imply that the Baryonyx will gain instant health, or regenerate its health faster after feasting on fish meat obtained from Coelacanth, Megapiranha, Megalodon and Mantas.
* Like Megalodon, Baryonyx is the same size in-game as in real life (9 meters).

### Trivia not relevant for the game

* Baryonyx is a member of the same family as Spinosaurus, known as the Spinosaurids.
* Fossils of Baryonyx have been found with the remains of other dinosaurs, meaning that despite being a fish eating predator, Baryonyx was probably capable of taking on larger land animals, despite the dossier stating it rarely attacks land animals.
Cnidaria

* In Ark: Survival Evolved
* In Real Life

*Cnidaria Omnimorph is another example of a creature which should not exist. It has traits that seem to come from many types of jellyfish. It possesses the size and shape of large egg-yolk jellies, the powerful sting of certain box jellies, and the bioluminescence of of deep-sea jellies. This all combines to make a dangerous creature that lights up the deepest reaches of the ocean.*
*Cnidaria is not generally an aggressive creature, because it lacks normal perceptive senses. It generally just floats on the current until something gets close enough to sense, at which point it attacks. While its attacks are not directly powerful, its sting injects an incredibly strong and fast-acting sedative.*
*Domesticated*
*As Cnidaria is barely more intelligent than a plant, there's no effective method to tame one. Though as dangerous as they can be, a few tribes even keep schools of them around to harvest.*
*Most tribes kill Cnidaria on sight, then collect its reserve of powerful sedative, to use in technically advanced long-distance tranquilizers.*

The **Cnidaria** is a small carnivorous invertebrate found in the oceans of the Ark.

## Trivia

* The dossier was revealed on September 30, 2015.
* The dossier states that Cnidaria could be harvested and used for "technically advanced long-distance tranquillizers", suggesting that it may be used to craft tranquillizer darts used in the Fabricated Sniper Rifle.

### Trivia not relevant for the game

* Cnidaria is actually the name of the phylum containing all jellyfish - plus corals, anemones, and others.
* Cnidaria's genus name comes from the Greek word 'knide,' meaning 'knettle.' Its species name consists of the words 'omni,' meaning 'all' or 'of every kind;' and 'multi,' meaning 'more than one.' This refers to the fact that it resembles many different species of jellyfish rather than just one kind.
Lystrosaurus

* In Ark: Survival Evolved
* In Real Life

*Lystrosaurus Amicifidelis is a small herbivore, common to much of the island. Only about two feet long, it is not high on the food chain, and eats small plant life. The poisonous insects of the island seem to have little effect on Lystrosaurus.*
*Despite being one of the Island's tinier herbivores, Lystrosaurus is an incredibly resilient survivor. It recovers its torpor and health much faster than most creatures, which makes rendering a Lystrosaurus a rather difficult affair.*
*Domesticated*
*Not surprisingly, Lystrosaurus is an extremely loyal pet once tamed. It's a very fast learner, so it gains experience much faster than most other creatures. Additionally, its presence nearby appears to inspire allies, making them learn and gain experience more rapidly as well. Thusly, Lystrosaurus is an excellent addition to any tribe's hunting party.*

The **Lystrosaurus** is a small herbivorous mammal (synapsid) found on the Ark.

## Appearance

The Lystrosaurus is a stout mammal-like reptile often described as resembling a reptilian pig. Like wild pigs, they are usually seen snuffling the jungle floor for food using two small canine teeth and a small but strong beak. The Lystrosaurus's only true defense is their stealth, being small and quiet makes them incredibly difficult to find.

## Trivia

* Dossier revealed on August 19, 2015.
* The Lystrosaurus' name translates to "Shovel Lizard".
* Lystrosaurus' species name translates to "loyal friend".
* This creature is small enough to pass Thatch Doorframe, Wooden Doorframe, Stone Doorframe, and Metal Doorframe (each including their doors).
Flare Gun

The **Flare Gun** is a great way to light up a large area and to let others know where you are. Best used when fired directly above you. The area it lights is very large. It makes finding friends who need help at night much easier. It lasts until the flare hits the ground. Deals no damage when fired on a dinosaur or player. It sadly only has one use though but can be dyed to almost every color.

## Video Demonstration

A quick, sub 4 minute, video on how to craft flare guns and make them produce different colored flairs.
Fabricated Sniper Rifle

The **Fabricated Sniper Rifle** is the third long rifle available to be crafted. The Fabricated Sniper Rifle fires the Advanced Sniper Bullet. It fires eight shots and has a fairly fast reload and built-in scope, making it effective at long range, but it does less damage than the Longneck Rifle. It also does 4x the normal damage to any airborne dinos. It is able to be fitted with most attachments, such as the Flashlight Attachment, Laser Attachment, and Silencer Attachment.
Dreadnoughtus

**Dreadnoughtus**, (meaning "fears nothing"), is a genus of sauropod dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous period which was discovered in 2005 and described in 2014. Being 70% complete, it is one of the more complete dinosaur finds of South America.

It was once thought to have been the heaviest dinosaur, and even heavier even than a Boeing airplane, however, it is now believed to have weighed 38,000 kilograms, and was 26m long. The holotype fossil is considered a juvenile, however, so its' likely Dreadnoughtus could grow much larger. Dreadnought was also the name of all battle ships with a uniform main battery of guns.

## In Ark: Survival Evolved

Dreadnoughtus itself doesn't appear in Ark: Survival Evolved, however in the Brontosaurus dino dossier mentions that "Some may think this is an Apatosaurus, Dreadnoughtus, Argentinosaurus, or other sauropod - but this is a strange island and I'm the one doing the research" which means that people mistaken Brontosaurus for Dreadnoughtus and other sauropods that lived in the island. It's possible this could mean that Dreadnoughtus will be added to the game as a smaller, faster alternative to the Titanosaurus.
Hide

**Hide** is a resource that can be gathered from most dead creatures by punching them, using pick, hatchet, or certain creatures. The most effective way by hand is with a Metal Hatchet or by using creatures such as Giganotosaurus, Direwolf, Sabertooth, Tyrannosaur, or even Therizinosaurus.

Hide is used in a variety of applications, including Saddles and to produce Gasoline with Oil in the Refining Forge or Industrial Forge.
Basilosaurus

*One of the stranger creatures in the waters surrounding the island is Basilosaurus Solatiumfecit. It's a powerful swimmer which has adapted to the shallows so remarkably well such that it rapidly recovers from injuries when near the water's surface. Conversely, it's vulnerable to deep water pressure, which slowly cause it harm.*
*Basilosaurus is usually closely followed around by other predatory creatures, as its eating habits leave a large amount of scraps for scavengers to consume. It's a gentle creature towards humans, and happily takes food directly from them. However, the creatures which trail the 'Basi' tend to become dangerously enraged whenever this happens, as it leaves no leftovers for them.*
*Domesticated*
*Despite the hassle of engaging with its ornery followers, many tribes still attempt to tame the Basilosaurus, as its mammalian warm-blooded circulation provides a rider with perfect comfort from both heat and cold. Alternatively, Basilosaurus is hunted - perhaps too vigorously - for its special blubber, which can be refined into a far more efficient form of gasoline!*

The **Basilosaurus** is a large carnivorous (piscivorous) aquatic mammal found in the oceans of the Ark.

## Trivia

* Basilosaurus was officially revealed by Susan Claire on March 24, 2016.
* The dossier was revealed by Jat on March 28, 2016.

### Trivia not relevant for the game

* As a primitive type of whale, Basilosaurus is the first marine mammal to be revealed.
* The dossier mentions the Basilosaurus being hunted "perhaps too vigorously" for its valuable blubber, which can be used as an excellent fuel source. This is a satirical reference to real-life whaling, which drove many species close to extinction due to the whale oil created from their blubber being used as fuel prior to the use of fossil fuels.
Metal Dinosaur Gateway

The **Metal Dinosaur Gateway** is a structure that houses the Metal Dinosaur Gate, which can accommodate all but the largest creatures. While the Tyrannosaurus Rex is technically capable of fitting through a Dinosaur Gateway, it is far easier to maneuver the Tyrannosaurus Rex through a Behemoth Gateway.

## Incompatible Creatures and Vehicles

Bauria

**Bauria** is an extinct genus of therocephalian therapsids that existed during the Early Triassic period, around 246-251 million years ago. Bauria was probably a carnivore or insectivore. It lived in South Africa, specifically in the Burgersdorp Formation in South Africa.

Bauria was named by Robert Broom in 1909 and found at Winnaarsbaken, South Africa. The first species Broom discovered, Bauria cynops, was a reasonably complete skull, but according to the first description somewhat poorly preserved, and apparently equally poorly prepared. Five other specimens were later found at different points in time, with mostly skulls being found.

Only two species of Bauria are known, with the most recent one, Bauria robusta, being discovered by J. W. Kitching in 1955 in the Burghersdorp district.

In a recent paper, it has been found that Microgomphodon oligocynus and Bauria cynops are recognized as the only valid species of southern African bauriids.

## In ARK: Survival Evolved

Bauria itself doesn't appear in Ark: Survival Evolved, however in the Purlovia dossier of a skull of the animal shown in the dossier is not of Purlovia but Bauria. The Purlovia, however, it is depicted as a carnivore, but the real life counterpart was likely a herbivore and probably would not have eaten meat.
Apatosaurus

**Apatosaurus** (A-pat-o-saur-us), is a genus of sauropod dinosaurs that lived about about 161-144 million years ago, during the Jurassic period. It was one of the large sauropods, about 4.5 meters (15 feet) tall at the hips, with a length of up to 22.8 m (75 ft) and a mass up to 35 metric tonnes (39 tons).

## In Ark: Survival Evolved

Apatosaurus itself doesn't appear in Ark: Survival Evolved, however in the Brontosaurus dino dossier mentions that "Some may think this is an Apatosaurus, Dreadnoughtus, Argentinosaurus, or other sauropod - but this is a strange island and I'm the one doing the research" which means that people mistaken Brontosaurus for Apatosaurus and other sauropods that lived in the island. It's possible this could mean that Apatosaurus will be added to the game, but it's mostly unlikely to be added because players will instantly mistake it for Brontosaurus than Apatosaurus.

## Trivia

* In 2015, the Brontosaurus genus was revived and several species of Apatosaurus were resigned to the Brontosaurus genus.
Bear Trap

The **Bear Trap** is a trap that allows for the immobilization of humans and small creatures.

## Use

Durability slowly depletes at a rate of one unit per eight seconds (could be to lag, hard to tell exact numbers) with a total durability of one hundred this takes some time to let go, unit can also be repaired with a captive in its jaws.

Once placed the trap can be picked up by anyone. If sprung it can only be demolished by either the tribe responsible, or the owner (depending on tribe settings). This works on PVE servers currently. If you are caught in your own trap you can not demolish it so use caution.

Traps can only be set within a certain distance of each other (approx 3 foundations for small traps). Traps can be placed underwater, but if a player is swimming, they do not seem to be triggered.

"Small animals" seems to cover anything that an argent would be able to carry; Dodo, Dilophosaurus, Pulmonoscorpius, and Raptor.

Traps can be hidden in the tops of pillars.
Kentrosaurus

* In Ark: Survival Evolved
* In Real Life

*While Kentrosaurus aethiopicus is considerably smaller than its close relative, Stegosaurus Regium, it is much more formidable in matters of self defense. In fact, it is arguably the pound for pound champion of not only the Stegosauria, but when encountered in close-knit fighting packs, ranks atop the island’s herbivorous dinosaurs in general. Thanks to its wickedly sharp defensive spikes, any creature which attacks Kentrosaurus is likely to be reversely wounded in turn, and it is capable of piercing even the thickest of hides and armors when it goes on the offensive. I have personally witnessed the Kentrosaurus fell much larger predators in a single such “impaling” maneuver!*
*Underestimating Kentrosaurus can be a fatal mistake, particularly when it is in a herd. When travelling in numbers, Kentrosaurus seems to grow much more aggressive, increasing the range at which it will defend its territory.*
*Domesticated*
*Survivors have seen little success in their attempts to ride Kentrosaurus, owing to its spikes and hot-headed temperament. However, a tamed herd of Kentrosaurus can defend a compound as well as take on any larger carnivore. One swing of its deadly tail can save a survivors life, or even turn the tide of a pitched battle!*

The **Kentrosaurus** (Ken-troh-saw-rus) is a medium sized herbivorous dinosaur found on the Ark.

## Trivia

* The dossier was revealed on September 5th, 2016

### Trivia not relevant for the game

* This is the one of the few animals to keep their actual species name, as Kentrosaurus aethiopicus did exist in what is now Tanzania in the Tendaguru Formation.

Daeodon

* In Ark: Survival Evolved
* In Real Life

*Daeodon Comedentis is the largest known species of entelodont, an omnivorous family of ancient mammals that are sometimes referred to as “Hell Pigs.” Even though Daeodon has as many similarities to modern Hippopotamidae as it does to Suina, I’ve found that to be a suitably fitting nickname.*
*Daeodon is as mean as it looks, and any survivor who wanders too close to its feeding grounds will find that out the hard way. As an omnivore with a voracious appetite, Daeodon scavenges, forages, and hunts to survive. It has little qualms when it comes to its diet, and that has helped it thrive both on the Island’s dry grasslands as well as sandy ecosystems.*
*Its temper hasn’t hurt either, as many would-be predators would rather seek out less vicious prey. Its uncommonly high metabolism enables it to heal very rapidly, making it a difficult beast to bring down or even tranquilize.*
**Domesticated**
*Many tribes have made excellent use of Daeodon packs within their war parties, not only because of its fierce nature but due to its remarkable ability to rapidly heal itself. I’ve theorized that this healing factor is why it seems to have such a high rate of food consumption, which also makes it difficult to maintain; Daeodon may well eat its owners out of house and home. Far more extraordinary, however, is that this rapid regeneration is evidently able to affect nearby allies, and consequently worth the upkeep!*

The **Daeodon**, is a large sized omnivorous mammal found on the Ark.

## Trivia

* The dossier was revealed on October 4, 2016.
* The dossier says that the Daedon can "thrive both on the Island’s dry grasslands as well as sandy ecosystems" suggesting that it will be available on both The Island and Scorched Earth

### Trivia not relevant for the game

* The dossier says that Daeodon has as many similarities to modern Hippopotamidae as it does to Suina, this sentence refer to how many people call this creature "Hell Pig" even though they're whole different animal, but still closely related to pig and hippos, both are member of artiodactyl (even-toed ungulate).
Dragon

The **Dragon** is an end game boss in *ARK: Survival Evolved* that can be accessed by opening a portal to the Dragon Arena at an Obelisk or Beacon. It can also appear in Survival of the Fittest.

The Dragon is one of the largest land creatures (other contender being Titanosaurus) on the entire map, even dwarfing the size of the Tyrannosaurus Rex and the Brontosaurus. It is one of the only creatures than can breathe fire offensively, making it possess the highest DPS (damage per second) of all tameable creatures. The others are the Fire Wyvern and the Dodorex.

## Appearance

The Dragon is a giant dragon that can breath fire and fly. He can also summon normal, smaller Dimorphodon and Pteranodon which will attack anyone near.

## Location

The Dragon is located in the Dragon Arena beneath the Red Obelisk that is exclusively accessed at an Obelisk and will not naturally spawn.

## Taming

The Dragon Arena can only be tamed by using the command :**admincheat forcetame**. This command can only be used by the **admin** of the server.

## Portal to Arena

The following items are required to open the portal.

* 8 Megalodon Teeth
* 4 Tyrannosaurus Arms
* 4 Argentavis Talons
* 2 Sauropod Vertebrae
* Artifact of the Hunter
* Artifact of the Pack
* Artifact of the Clever
* Artifact of the Massive
* Artifact of the Skylord
* Artifact of the Devourer
* Artifact of the Strong
* Artifact of the Immune

Obtain all of the required items and locate an Obelisk or Beacon with the imprinted blueprint. A portal to the Dragon Arena will open.

## The Battle

It is recommended to find a rock in the arena; when the Dragon attacks with fire, hide behind it. Then, after the attack, shoot over or around the rock. It can also summon "minion" Dimorphodon and Pteranodon.

## Loot

The Dragon drops two rewards: a Dragon Flag and Dragon Trophy.
Eurypterid

* In Ark: Survival Evolved
* In Real Life

*Found only in the deepest depths of the waters around the island, Eurypterids are dangerous and adaptable Arthropods. As likely to hunt as they are to scavenge, a Eurypterid rarely has difficulty finding food to keep itself nourished, even at the bottom of the ocean.*
*A Eurypterid’s threat does comes not directly from its raw strength. Instead, it combines a hard defensive exoskeleton with debilitating poison to powerful effect. The sting of a Eurypterid increases torpor while reducing stamina, quickly rendering its opponent unable to defend itself.*
*Domesticated*
*While Eurypterid are not intelligent enough to be tamed, This doesn't mean they are without utility for tribes. They are a wonderful source of Chitin, and their digestive tract often contain Silica Pearls. They sometimes even have incredibly rare Black Pearls used for manufacturing mysterious technologies, making them among the most valuable creatures on the island.*

The **Jaekelopterus** or **Eurypterid** (Urr-ihp-ter-ihd) is a medium sized carnivorous aquatic invertebrate found in the oceans of the Ark.

## Appearance

Superficially resembles a Pulmonoscorpius with adaptations to fit an aquatic lifestyle. Its rearmost pair of legs are flattened into flippers. Instead of two separate claws, both of the forelimbs work in tandem with formidable spines, closing as a vice to trap and shred prey.

## Behavior

The Eurypterid moves silently along the floor of the ocean, slowly undulating its body to move through the waterways. Since they spawn in clusters of two to four, there will often be many in a single area, often around coral and seaweed. When a player approaches the area to hunt for Silica Pearl clams or for the Eurypterids themselves, the Eurypterids will swim towards the invader and attack. They can poison the player, knocking them out in the depths of the ocean, which will most likely kill them.

## Trivia

* It was officially revealed by Drake on September 8, 2016.
* The dossier was revealed by Jat on September 10, 2015.
* Although it is difficult and there is no purpose for doing so, Eurypterids can be lured to shore where they will strangely swim — almost hovering — in the air. This is most likely a bug.

### Trivia not relevant for the game

* Eurypterids are a broad group with many members. According to the dossier, Ark's Eurypterids are from the genus Jaekelopterus - in real life, these were the largest arthropods ever known to evolve, at 2.5 m (~8 feet) in length.
* Real life Eurypterids did not bear stingers as the dossier depicts. Most had tails ending in simple points, although some had flattened 'flukes'.
* Despite appearances, Eurypterids are actually more closely related to horseshoe crabs than scorpions.
* The dossier mistakenly lists Jaekelopterus as living during the Silurian, when it instead lived during the Devonian.
Arthropluera

* In Ark: Survival Evolved
* In Real Life

*The fact this creature even exists is enough to give me nightmares. Like the island's other arthropods, Arthropluera Felsanguis has become much larger than I might have believed possible. It's a very aggressive hunter, but prefers to eat meat after it has rotted for some time, and will voraciously seek out such delicacies.*
*Arthropluera's blood has a very low pH, to the point that it can dissolve many materials. This acidic blood splashes back on anything that directly attacks it, weakening the durability of melee weapons and hurting attackers. Many creatures thusly refuse to prey on Arthropluera, fearing this unique defense. If that wasn't enough, Arthropluera keeps a small reservoir of blood ready to spit at its prey.*
*Domesticated*
*Like most of the other arthropods on the island, Arthropluera is simple minded and relatively easy to tame. It is an almost entirely military mount, useful mostly for attacking at a distance. Thanks to its unique defenses, whether hunting or warring, Arthropluera is generally safe from all but the largest of creatures.*

The **Arthropluera** (Arr-throw-plur-a) is a medium sized carnivorous (carrion feeder) invertebrate found on the Ark.

## Appearance

The Arthropleura felsanguis is one of the island's most nightmarish native invertebrates - a predatory, heavily armored millipede longer than three men tall. Preferring carrion over live prey, these huge arthropods inhabit the deeper caves of the island, devouring bats and other invertebrates. Their greenish blood has an unusually low pH, a trait that, by self-rupturing delicate vessels in its head, the Arthropleura can use as a rather gruesome defense mechanism.

## Behavior

Arthropleura is tamable with rotten meat and if wild will attack with acid spit (1 acid spit after melee bite). It seems to have some sort of an aimbot because it can hit you with its acid even when it has turned around.

## Trivia

* The dossier was revealed on September 11, 2015.
* The dossier lists Arthropleura as being from the Permian era, but it was actually from the Carboniferous.
* Arthropleura tamed in the Lower South Cave are unable to exit due to the invisible wall at the entrance/exit. If you wish to tame one to bring back with you, find one elsewhere.
* In real life, Arthropleura ate rotting plant matter instead of rotting meat. It also lived in the Late Carboniferous as well as the Early Permian.
* The Dossier misspells Arthropl**eu**ra as Arthropl**ue**ra. Presumably, this is a typo by the author.
* The Dossier says that Arthropluera is "...An almost entirely military mount..." But next to the icon that represents it as being rideable there are question marks. - These question marks might represent the writers query as to whether or not the Arthropleura is capable of being saddled, not necessarily the capability of one being ridden.
* It can be picked up by Argentavis, so you can lure it outside the caves and move it to a safer spot. Most of the time it doesn't move while taming (like the Dung Beetle,) but some times it will. To prevent this, put it in a box made of dino doors with 4 wood floors.
Berries

**Berries** are a collectible and consumable item found in the Ark. They are harvested from bushes covering the island are collected randomly by the player(s). Berries are used as a food source for both the player(s) or herbivorous creatures and can be used to tame such creatures. They are collected by pushing 'E' on a bush with an empty hand or a torch equipped.

## Berries

* Amarberry
* Azulberry
* Mejoberry
* Narcoberry
* Stimberry
* Tintoberry

## Edibility

Berries can be consumed by the player to restore small amounts of Health and Stamina.

## Taming

Berries are used to tame the different herbivorous animals inhabiting the Ark, including Parasaurs, Dodos, etc. To tame a creature, the player must first knock the animal unconscious by increasing its torpor. This is done by hitting the animal in the head with fists or the slingshot or by shooting it with tranquilizer arrows. After the animal is unconscious, the player must feed it the correct berry to start the taming process. The taming will be complete when the Taming Bar is filled to 100%. Narcoberries are used to keep the creature unconscious by filling the Unconsciousness Bar. If this bar runs out, the creature will awake and the taming process will be reset. Upon successfully taming an animal, it will awaken, stand up, and from then on belong to the player who tamed it.

## Notes

* In a future update each berry will be obtained from a plant unique to that berry.
* Currently all herbivores tamed using berries prefer Mejoberries.
Death Worm

*The titanic Khorkoi arrakis is commonly called a "Death Worm" by the locals, but only half of this name is accurate. Khorkoi is, in fact, not a worm at all. Worms are decomposers that gain nutrients from dead or decaying materials, while Khorkoi is a carnivore.*
*Khorkoi spends most of its time burrowed beneath the desert sands, exploding to the surface only to devour its prey in a single bite. The only chance of surviving a Khorkoi attack is if its initial lunge misses, as it's momentarily immobile afterwards. Theoretically, that could provide a brief opportunity to escape its territory. I wouldn't count on such luck, though.*
*Lineus spends most of its life underground, burrowing through sand and stone. Tribes only encounter Lineus when they encroach upon its territory, at which point it unborrows and releases carnage. Fortunately, Lineus is stationary while unburrowed, so escaping is fairly straightforward...*
*Domesticated*
*Attempting to tame Khorkoi will almost certainly result in failure and a very painful death. Any survivors in this desert should avoid Khorkoi territory at all costs.*

The **Khorokoi**, more commonly known as the **Death Worm** or **Deathworm**, is one of the creatures in the *ARK: Scorched Earth* expansion pack. A variant of this creature, known as the Iceworm, is only available on the Ragnarok DLC. The Iceworm is a boss in the Frozen Dungeon and has a light blue, white and gray color scheme.
Liopleurodon

* In Ark: Survival Evolved
* In Real Life

*Liopleurodon Magicus is a mid-sized ocean predator. Typically between 20 and 25 feet long, it mostly hides within the reefs, waiting to ambush prey that swims by. Due to its low acceleration and medium speed, Liopleurodon tends not to chase prey that escape its initial devastating chomp attack.*
*The species on the island almost seem to be magical. The reptile's skin secretes an oil that, when absorbed through skin contact, makes the rider process oxygen more efficiently for extreme diving. When trawling the ocean for resources, Liopleurodon will show you the way.*
*Domesticated*
*Neither the fastest swimmer, nor the most powerful ocean predator, Liopleurodon still has its uses for those wanting to stay underwater for extended periods of time.*
*Many tribes use Liopleurodon for long duration oil-and-oyster harvesting trips. Often, those who don't believe in the Liopleurodons' qualities are shunned.*

The **Liopleurodon** is a large carnivorous aquatic reptile found in the oceans of the Ark.

## Appearance

The Liopleurodon appears as a crocodile-like reptile, with two sets of fins and a short tail. It is a pliosaur, a short-necked, large-headed type of Plesiosaur, making it closely related to the deep water Plesiosaurs. It also possesses a single long barbel on its chin to detect the presence of prey swimming past its ambush lair.

## Trivia

* The dossier was revealed on July 17, 2015.
* The name and elements of the Dossier, such as 'The species on the island almost seem to be magical', 'Liopleurodon will show you the way' and 'those who don't believe in the Liopleurodons' qualities are shunned' are most likely references to the popular viral video 'Charlie the Unicorn', which features a magical Liopleurodon that guides the way.

### Trivia not relevant for the game

* Liopleurodon means "smooth sided tooth"
