I had a Spino once. His name was J.J. I loved him. But like always, good things always come to an end. We were out looking for giant turtles for their keratin when J.J. fell over the edge of a cliff. I was on my pteradon so I flew over the edge and J.J. was following me back to bace when he was killed my a therizinosaurus... I just sat there on my pteradon watching him be torn apart, unable to help... So now, my bace is called Fort J.J. in honor of him. I will always remember my most loyal friend.

me and my friend were trying to tame a dino when a whole spino spawned next our base our hearts disappeared into the shadow realm when we saw it so we made a run for our base then ark has the odacitty to spawn to pegos that steal my 83 tranc arrows so we kill those and the spino gets stuck so we approach it and its actually stuck so we kill it then we go insane after that and quit ark for a while then ark asks me how my experience was.

I posted a tip on the fact that Spinos are better than rexes, and tbh, they still are. The tip has above 600 likes. I did end up taming a pair of rexes, and breeding them. They had a baby rex that I painted blue and fully imprinted, and pumped all its points into melee. And guess what? I've only pumped a few points into melee on my spino.... AND THE MELEE IS ACTUALLY COMPARABLE! I rest my case. Spinos are also verrry fast. Lol my Spino has WAYYY more damage than my Giga.

Hello, all! Here’s a story!

I had a spino named Bubbles. He max level (150) and a BEAST. I think he had maybe 30,000 health. He was so loyal, and so brave. Until it all went down...

Me and Bubbles were out hunting for EXP for my otter, Nibbles. We found two mated rexes, and attacked. We easily killed them both, and Nibbles got plenty of experience. Once we returned to the base, my tribemate was going insane, screaming. I raced over, still mounted on Bubbles, and asked what was happening. “We’re being raided!” He shouted in a horrified fashion. I immediately turned and raced out on Bubbles. He fought to his last breath, his last attack being driving a giga away from out argy, Toriel (#PrayForToriel). Sadly, Bubbles didn’t make it. But that act of bravery and his fearsome fighting won us that battle. So now, comrades, remember to appreciate your tames. They may eventually die, defending you loyally.

So this was before I could join my server and had friends play first.

My goofy Ah friend kept leading spinous to our base and Grampa(pretty much the veteran of the game) kept leading it away. So one day he decided to lead it over again but found it dead to 2 theri. He then proceeded to lead them over so we had to use the ballista turret😭😭😭

Dont do what I did, ALWAYS BRING A LOTTA NARCOTICS. I was taming one and only had like 13 narcotics. To make a long story short, I woke up and I had to fly away on mt pteradon.

So I started a new save and was looking for some excitement, and I saw a 105 spino near my base. I immediately got the stupid idea to try and tame it on raptor back knowing full well it's faster than my raptor but oh well didn't have much to lose. I managed to tranq it after a segment of professional kiting and as I was collecting fish prime meat a pirahna bit it once, lost 2 levels and I lost a piece of my soul. It tamed up and killed the alpha raptors surrounding it. I was rewarded with a 180% revolver. I love that spino

Spino is my absolute FAV Dino. I haven’t seen one in ark cus I kinda like to keep to my own little area. There is a spino spawn thing a little farther than I have gone. Should I?

Ultimus: Chapter Three

A few hours after dinner, Kim and Hunter were talking in the living room while Andrew and his puppy were in his bedroom. Kim sat in a chair and was telling Hunter about the message she got from the Terran Federation and that she was required to relocate to Arat Prime. Hunter was livid that they were doing this.

“They can’t do this! Wh-What about your research?” Hunter said in anger yet in a quiet tone. He paced in front of her in the center of the room.

“My research is almost complete here honey. They also said that they have had better results with other research and would rather have me on their Genetic Engineering team for it.” Kim said,

“What other research?” Hunter asked in a surprised tone, Kim looked up at him and shrugged. It took a moment for him to realize what she was implying. When he did, his eyes bulged and his mouth dropped open.

“Our research isn’t conclusive nor are we sure that it would work whatsoever in the real world. Plus the Simulation is no where to be considered a fraction of being complete.” Hunter said.

“They don’t care, they see more success in your test results than the idea of using ordinary animals. They believe in it enough that they are having a project meeting with the URE about it.” Kim said,

“I can’t believe this. They see my research as the future work for the Genesis project and the URE’s project? It’s absurd.”

“Honey, it may be absurd, but it looks like it is the future for these projects.” Kim said, Hunter finally sat down. He was amazed at the accomplishment he made. He was jittering from the excitement. But a question immediately brought him back.

“So we have to go to Arat Prime?” Hunter asked,

“We have no option.” Kim said.

“What are we going to do with Andrew?” Hunter said, “You know the plan for the URE and the Terran Federation. We already know what they did with da Costa, and they plan to do it with everyone. It’s why we moved away from Arat Prime and why we were grateful they stationed you here. We didn’t want them to that to our son.” He continued.

“Well we can’t run for it as fugitives, they’d just arrest us and make us work without pay. We can’t go to the URE because they have the same plan. That leaves us with one option, we let them do it to him.” Kim said,

“What are you talking about? That’s g-.”

“You didn’t let me finish, we let them do it. Just not for a very long time.” Kim said.

“I’m not following?” Hunter said in confusion.

“Let me explain…” Kim said, she explained her plan for Andrew to avoid the Terran Federation to Hunter. He didn’t know what to think of her plan.

“I… don’t know. Give me some time to think about it.” Hunter said feeling at a lose,

“Alright, but we don’t have much left honey.” Kim said with a soft smile, this hurt her just as much as it hurt Hunter. But Hunter wasn’t as reasonable or logical when it came to his family.

He walked down the hallway to Andrew’s room. The dog looked up from its bed in the corner of the room and set it’s head back down after recognizing who it was. Andrew was asleep in his his bed with some sort of very old monster movie on his tv. Hunter watched the movie for a bit but wasn’t paying attention to it. He didn’t like Kim’s idea, it split their family and he never wanted that to happen. He looked at his son sleeping, he was so peaceful.

Hunter would do anything to keep his family safe, even sacrifice himself to do so. But would he do this? Would he split up his family to save his son. He knew the answer to that. And as much as he hated it, Kim’s plan was the only option.
