ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
PD, read your newest chapters!!! I am really enjoying your stories!! I can’t for the next chapters!!!
As for more creature suggestions, I have some suggestions (okay a lot) being science fictional and real creatures. I don’t know if you want to use real creatures or are trying for more science fiction and fantasy, but I wanted to add them in if you wanted to use them.
1. Gorgonops or a Gorgonopsid, a saber-tooth brute creature of the synapsid world lived in the Permian period. If you don’t want to use this species due to size. Its cousin the Inostrancevia was the largest Gorgonopsian ever discovered. Weighing around 600 lbs and was 11 feet long.
And if I’m not getting it in Ark, I should at least try to see if I can get it here lol.
2. Prionosuchus, the perfect crocodile alternative. It was the largest amphibian to ever exist at a length of 30 feet long and lived in the Permian period as well. It was believed to live in the freshwater environments of lakes and rivers and also believed to live in coastal regions of the oceanic environments.
3. Epicyon, the largest canine species ever to exist and was in the family of bone crushing dogs. As the family nickname means, it had the ability to bite through solid bone of the fauna it lived with.
4. Thylacosmilus, a marsupial saber toothed predator of South America. Where it competed with Smilodon in the later part of its reign. Unlike the Sabertooth cats or scimitar cats, it had two boney structures on the lower jaw that ran down with its saber teeth.
5. Elephant Bird, one of the tallest birds to ever exist and the heaviest bird to ever exist. Standing at 9.8 feet and weighed around 600 to 2200 pounds.
6. Sinornithosaurus, this was a type of microraptorid and is one of largest and unique in this Clade. Having been in debate of the possibility that it had a venomous bite because of grooved teeth and holes in the upper jaw that were believed to hold venom sacks.
7. Arsinotherium, a distant relative to elephants and dugongs. It though more resembles a rhinoceros in body shape and had two sets of horns on its head. It was believed to waddle and be semi aquatic in nature.
8. Leptictidium, a distant relative to today’s shrews. It was a three foot long carnivore/insectivore that was an ornithopod in movement and was believed to move quite similar to kangaroos.
9. Archaeoindris, one of the largest lemurs to ever exist that was believed to be robust and around the size of a gorilla. It wasn’t known if it was a ground dwelling lemur with very limited time in the tree or being adapted enough to be more aboreal in nature
10. Haast Eagle, a large species of bird of prey that hunted in the New Zealand forests. Hunting large Moa birds.
On to the fictional creatures
11. Vampiric Drake/Wyvern, a vampire drake that is fast on its feet with thermal vision and cloaking capabilities that during the night transforms into a wyvern with the same ability and voracious speed through the night sky. No special breath.
12. Aquatic Drake, a semi to fully aquatic species of draconian with the ability to secrete oil from its body and tail that it can ignite to create devastating aquatic infernos. Has High Heat, water proof fire breath.
13. Fictional Rhinoceros, (totally didn’t steal this idea from Avatar) an extremely large species of rhinoceros like creature with three sets of horn. Two sets (these looking like a rhinoceros horns) on the sides of it’s head with the smaller horns being behind the eyes and a single horn on top of its head (similar looking to Brontothere horn). The size of this Rhino would be around the same size as the Sker Buffalo in Kong Skull Island, 30-40 feet in length and weighing around 20-25 tons. Can move at astonishing speed for such a large size.
14. Fictional Saurian, a twenty to thirty foot long creature resembling a carnivorous dinosaur with long arms and sharp claws and a large blockyish head. Extreme jumping capabilities and climbing abilities, if possible subterranean abilities.
15. Carnivores alienoid synapsid or saurian with a long tail that can shoot a boney projectile from the tip of the tail that has the ability to paralyze its prey or victim.
16. Cobra like Wyrm, 50-60 foot long Wyrm similar to a Cobra. Can spray acid from fangs in the front of the lower jaw. It can also can lure prey with hypnotic hood. Versatile in any biome.
17. Thresher like fish, A species of large fish that has a large upper tail fin and teeth-like structures on the tip to lacerate larger prey while stunning smaller prey
18. Pack hunting Ants with deadly mandibles and even more deadly stinger. These ant are between the size of wolfs and grizzly bears, no queen in these small hunting packs. Gamergate species of ant with a single gamergate worker in these packs.
I really hope you can use some of these, you don’t need to use all if you don’t want to. And if you want, you can change any of the fictional creatures to best fit how you want them in the game.
Until Next Time!

PD… i don’t think you know what’s coming… *looks in portal* I have one word for you… warden… as in THE warden… hunts by sound… and if you make one sound… yeah, you’re hosed
Puny.
You think you can build a thin playplace upon my Rome? This place has been here longer than you — and has all of my stories and ambition within. To blindly attempt to take the dye that has always been mine?.
— PD.
You shall not take this dye for rebellion, as I am still hereee.. I will stay here, too, especially since you’re still keeping it inactive.
This is PearledDragon’s official retaking of Haze, as i always have owned this dye even from years ago. I will not have it be willy-nilly dozed over.
— Sincerely, PD.
Leviathan’s Lullaby
Chapter 1
Written and conceived by a pearlescent dragon (PD :3 )
Hymns of wind brushed through the dense evergreen with a gentle touch, the fleeting reminiscent of whispers carried in the arms of the wind. Trees on-looked the horizon, watching over the landscape. A happy day. The sun’s warming embrace smothered the land with a bright light. Faraway mountains slumbered quietly, their backs prickled with brush, bush and branches.
Just outside of the treeline, the golden field of sand that stretched far upon the landscape, dotted with small stones and driftwood. White seafoam covered the beach with a thin layer of white, before receding back to the deep blue. Small offcuts from the nearby streams giggled and trickled as they roamed their way through the land. Aerwyna walked through the brush, stopping at the tree-line . Her feet bore into the small lining between the beach and the forest, glancing back to see.
“Aerwyna, don’t run off so quick!” Her mother towed behind, eventually followed by her father. The two perched at the treeline, watching her with care and attention.
But she didn’t listen, running toward the shore as if it would save her. Laughing as she jumped into the cooling waves, splashing around with childish innocence. Dunking her head under the water, and as she arose -
Nothing. Void . Her parents were gone, missing from her view. The once deep aquamarine the sea had glimmered now glinted a dark ichor-y black. And it felt like sludge. Trekking ‘water’, Aerwyna called out desperately.
“MA?! PA?” She splashed, barely able to keep her head above water from the viscous liquid.
“Sleep.” A pair of glistening white eyes appeared under the surface.
“We aren’t eachother anymore.”
<:NEXUS:>
What does that stand for?
Leviathan’s Lullaby
From PD
C2
Aerwyna jolts awake abruptly, whipping her head around to try and view around inside the pitch-black room she had been currently residing in. . What was that, another broken phrase of a dream?! She slammed her calloused fist against the wall, a fed-up look in her eyes, as if she couldn’t get just any angrier..
“OBVIOUSLY, huh. I can’t seem to get a single bit of night’s kip till this stupid ‘leviathan’ lad meanders its way into my dreams and ruins it. GREAT!” Swinging her fists wildly and angrily, like how an equus had kicked Bali off because he accidentally kicked her in the side. Even thinking about it brought a small, amused chuckle under her breath.
“Aerwyna!”
A knock at her door broke her out of her little anger fit, swinging her legs across the mussed-up bedsheets she had evidently kicked to the edge during her fitful dream. Running a clammy hand through her hair, she half-walks, half blindly stumbles to where she believes is the door, over to the door, and with slight resistance from the rust beginning to form on the hinge due to the sea spray , raised an eyebrow.
“Whaddya want.” She grumbled, still a bit fuming over her whole fiasco of her on-loop dreams, especially how it always turned out - “we aren’t the same anymore” What sort of narcoberries had someone fed her whilst asleep to have a dream like that, especially ON REPEAT?!
“Stop slamming your fist, your disrupting the water here and ‘round us. We can’t lose ANOTHER ship and us, especially if we keep losing more and more land and VALUABLE RESOURCES, to that ‘thing’ that’s came.. We don’t know what’s out there, but we gotta atleast track all of these territory-takers down.” A cold, grovelling in its own title voice answered. Obviously it just had to be Callivar.
“Captainnn. What a GRRRREAT time to see you! Absolutely fiiinnntastic, huh.” Aerwyna crossed her arms, only worsening the tension between the two with the stupid pun that she tried to make sound even remotely funny, but resorting away from the ‘comedy’ side to start leaning against the slowly rotting doorframe of the weathered ship. Her right eyelid twitched with the telltale sign of her nearly overflowing anger - like a creaky old dam that could and would burst.
“Aerwyna, we cannot spend another day feuding. There is a WAR of nature going on and we need to find a new place for everyone to live. This isn’t just about your stupid hissy fits your mo-“
“My mother isn’t here no more, IDIOT.” She snapped back, her eyelid twitching a tad bit more. She really couldn’t handle this at - she checked the derelict implant in her wrist, internally scolding herself for forgetting hers never worked. It had never worked and she never knew why, maybe hers was faulty or something…? She couldn’t put her finger on it on why. She had no way to even figure it out anyways. Why?
“-…As I was saying, it’s not about your hissy fits. You are one person, and our tribe is bigger than one. The majority over the minority, right?” He raised both of his bushy and in dire need of an actual haircut. eyebrows, waiting for an answer. After a little bit of Aerwyna spacing out, he clicked his fingers infront of her zoned out face. “Are we gonna have to get you off those narcotics, because your acting all.. weird when you get them. Especially when you need sleep.”
“Uh-huh, im actuslly just awesome. But, I was only thinking is all! An explorer needs to be ready for anything across their path, that’s what Pa said before! .” She rolls her eyes at the attempt for Calliver trying to take the narcotics - because she needed them for sleep. The only thing that put her to sleep was that stupid viscous green liquid, but atleast it wasn’t poison., Responding to his ‘majority over the minority’ schmitz halfheartedly, turning back into the shadowy room and slamming the door, making a beeline for her desk, or where she thought it was - and it was.
Papers, over papers, over more papers of sketched dinos littered the small board over the desk, all of them different to eachother. Settling down in the old chair, one that was probably a new banquet for the insects that had recently stowed away on the ship. Adjusting a small lantern to bathe the darkened room in an auburn light, which helped her see where the charcoal she had recently been using to sketch down dinosaurids they had seen from over the shore. One had recently caught her eye. It was a brilliant black, with spines down its body. She, or the crew, had seen it bucking it through a nearby forest, skidding to a stop just before it hit the light. As if it was weak to it?. It looked like something out of your worst nightmare, she had concluded recently. But before she could have peeked at it better from the vantage of her spyglass, it had vanished. So she just put it up to her imagination to fill in the gaps, which it had nicely she thought. If only she hadn’t been blind in her right eye, that she may have been able to see the things better.

You cannot fight the blade of the rebellion PD!!! My troops are right behind me *gestures to 3 dodos* dude really? Are you, COME ON!!! Just give me a sec… *pulls out blaster* so, what we got? Uhhh… 🤔… MINECROOFT! There we go… *opens blocky portal* oh, ancient city, noice,
Also a sorta update on Exoplanet 2, it’s still in development BUT;
1. Seepers, stinky slimefish, hotheaded hammers and a few others are now modelled!!!! Yes, theyre being added!!
2.It will be Unreal Engine 4 now due to the graphic changes being out of my skill set and so I don’t overdo it.
3. It will most likely be on steam first, so PC, then if it gains popularity will go onto console due to a bigger fanbase being on steam than console
4. It’ll basically be subnautica, rain world, grounded, and ark in a big mashup of flowers, deadly rains, massive beasts and ascension! Oh and there’ll be some changes to dinosaurs that may be in the game
5. Depending on how my schedule(s) are for the next… while? It may be able to be ohr to the public in a… while?? I dunno. I am still only one person, after all!
6 (and a small explanation for why my absence had and has still been fluctuating on here), is because I’ve been trying to develop my game! And there’s also an entirely different-ish map now because I got bored of the last one ((basically imagine aberration but both underground and underwater))
7. The gameplay will take a LONG while once playing! So I’ll say my goal is about 40-50 hours, which won’t sound too much but that’s like PRO-LEVEL gaming stuffs.
8. Im gonna put the game at 20-30 GBP, so it probably will be different if your country’s stuff is different.
