ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion

New creatures for Urthaa:

Wre’don: (Translated: Brutal Beast) Mid-sized reptilian creatures believed to be distantly related to the Ter’vaan, with prehensile tails and two long, muscular forelimbs with ridged claws, and short hind limbs with large claws that are primarily used to assist in climbing up the brutal mesa cliffs of the Southeastern Badlands. Wre’don are eternally starving, and will willingly hunt even the largest of creatures. They have gray-brown, plate-like scales with small spikes that grow larger on the tail, and pitch-black eyes capable of seeing in both visible and thermal light. They very commonly infight, due to their hypervory. They will often scavenge corpses and from battlefields.

Xiir’tor: (Translated: Great Shadow) It is unknown what these creatures are related to. Many suspect Boggr’u, though Xiir’tor completely lack the distinctive Bog’rene (the term used for the entire Boggr’u family) venom-fire. They are expert climbers and gliders, and are carnivorous, though they often scavenge dead Tur’naak from Bogeii’makor, and hunt in Zerrs (Translated: ‘Ghosts’) of up to 7. They are intelligent enough to assign roles. Their relatively thick feathers are often red or black, for both warmth in the cold Weio’bogeii and signaling others in their Zerr, and they have slightly curved, reverse-serrated teeth for ripping. Due to the odd chemicals in the Weio’bogeii, which affect genetics, Xiir’tor are capable of rendering themselves—and, prominently, anything organic in contact with them, i;e, saddles, riders, smaller creatures—completely invisible.

Context: the Weio’bogeii is the gargantuan cavern underneath most of the main Urthaan continent, Pan’griik, and there are semi-radioactive elements in there that affect DNA.
