ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion

Getting spawn camped by a Spinosaurus.

I'm new to the game and I've only played it for a couple of days and a handful of hours. I have a small and rough base at the starting Island. Been making decent progress and killing a few dilophosauruses and piranhas has me feeling good about myself. As I go to look at it white supply drop I turn to see in the shadowy early morning day a medium sized dinosaur it's form hidden in Shadow. But as I move closer I realize too late it was not a medium-sized dinosaur but rather farther away than I had thought. At level 32 armed with a crossbow and stone arrows I foolishly try to fight it off only to inevitably fall. And as I respawn on the same island it is close enough to aggro as soon as I rise again. After it once again kills me I realize the only way is to lure away the creature with my numerous Corpses.
