Good Evening Ladies and Gentlemen. This is your [LATE] ARK Community News.
Since our last broadcast, several things have occurred in which are fairly big news pieces.
Firstly, two new evolutions have been introduced for the Veilwyn, the lovable Ice Fox Companion. Both being introduced in a sort of Ying-Yang to one another.
First, being the alien equivalent of a Hell Hound, the Malwyn. Being black as though charred with a glowing red belly and three sets of eyes. This ‘98 Godzilla Mutant of a creature evolves from the Veilwyn when a Veilwyn is exposed to a mysterious substance to become the Malwyn. Driven by two things, and two things only. To hunt and to kill. This beast is only driven to hunt down its target, kill it, and move on. As it’ll be a lethal weapon in your arsenal.
Much of the Yang to the Malwyn’s Ying. The Solwyn is an icy angelic in form, it’s fur almost looking like fire, it’s body translucent, being able to see its bones from the outside. Being evolved from the Veilwyn when a Veilwyn is exposed to a different substance to become a the Solwyn. Its purpose, to protect those to whom it bonded to. They will chase you through the icy landscape of Arat Prime to protect you from any danger.
Both will be ridable forms and be available day one of Lost Colony’s release on December 16th.
In other news, both the Quetzal and Giganotosaurus were locked in for their TLCs. With the next to be locked in is most likely the Therizinosaurus this Friday. As of right now, this is the ranking. But there is a significant difference in votes between sixth and fifth, so any changes in the ranking are unlikely.
1. Areneo
2. Quetzal
3. Giganotosaurus
4. Therizinosaurus
5. Megalosaurus
6. Allosaurus
7. Gallimimus
Lastly, The Paleo Ark Therizinosaurus TLC has been released. Making a more paleo accurate version of the Therizinosaurus. Increasing its size to be more akin to the size comparison it would be to ARK’s Rex as the Irl Therizinosaurus would be to the Irl Rex. It is on the ASA mod page right now and will be updated frequently to keep it balanced. This is just a TLC and is not buffed or has any new special features the regular version has.
And that is your ARK Community News.
Ben, look at this. *takes out the entire series.* *kicks the main character out* *series caves in.* and it takes me rewriting the whole thing to fit a new character.
I’m a newcomer. You are the author of The Arks: Over Heaven, the most popular Dododex series of the decade. What I know is that it must have been hard work for you to write such long chapters and keep everything consistent on a strict deadline. And not to mention… some chapters were a half hour read. Chapter 100 in full was a 3 hour read! These could’ve taken you hours each day and a lot of work. My point is: it’s not easy for me to write a consistent series, or for anyone else. People will struggle and I know it will make my series easier to write if I don’t have to worry about the characters. 12 chapters in and I already have to worry about you asking me to kill off my main character and change the series. I write for fun and because I like showing off my stories. So let’s be flexible with this. I’ll continue writing Chapter 13 and might get it out tomorrow or somewhere this week. If we get to Chapter 15 and you still don’t like my main character, I’ll switch up the characters or at least pull it in a different direction. I’ll work hard. None of us would ever be as good at writing as you. But we’re still good writers. Just don’t put pressure on this whole thing with my characters. I get you don’t like him and that’s fine. But I don’t want to feel like he’s a terrible character.
Have a good day.

Duke, yes it does. You’re going to like it a lot. In fact, I propose an idea. Everyone here should start a speedrun for 2025, a speedrun where they have to finish all story maps as fast as they can. 5 arrows to the sky and the speedrun begins. It’ll be single player so only one person at a time.
Don’t be afraid to do it and work on your stories.
Anyhoo, hope you like it! It’s ok if you don’t want to.
Also, an explanation on JTAC’s main character. Before I post chapter 13, you need to know this. Imagine you’re new to Ark and randomly join a pro PvP server and want to beat the game alone on that server. You set up a base and assume it’s easy. But then your negligence causes problems like your base and tames dying. This is the same thing with JTAC’s main character, Sodden, only on a much bigger scale. Not only is he trying to surpass dangerous tribes, he wants to do this and dominate all creatures by killing them. And he assumes destroying the heart is easy and is a small mission.
Sodden was 9 hours old in the first chapter. That means he just spawned in back then for the first time. Not only that, he accepted the mission a few days after that!! He, a new Ark dude, accepted the most dangerous task because he assumed he could handle it. But it’s clear he isn’t. He’s young, he’s not good at PvP (hence why he thought raptors are good for everything.) and he still thinks he can handle both easily. Even when he got warnings of his friends being in danger, or may be in danger, he doesn’t care all that much until they actually come, in which case it may already be too late. His negligence in Chapter 12 would lead to causing the god shotgun to fall in the wrong hands in Chapter 13 and almost lost his friends. Thus almost getting an entire tribe killed!! FOREVER!!!
Okay, it’s not all doom and gloom. Serenity was able to massively help Sodden by giving him the full scope on what’s going on. And trust me, Sodden is way better after that. He can balance what he wants and what he needs to do and not lose a friend. He just needs to do it properly.
Okay, please no more hating my character. I hate killing off main characters

Hi this is Apex, I am writing because I had an interesting thought for a side story project that would follow along with my story Journey(That story is going very well right now, can’t wait to let y’all to see it.). It would be called journey at twilight. It would be a sort of a what if story that wouldn’t involve the actual story of Journey but have interesting scenarios involving memes, famous ark mascots or scenes from Ark creators like videos and stories. It’s something I thought would be fun to do and I wanted to know if anyone would like to see that. They would come out at the same time as my main story so they wouldn’t come for a while. But I still like to have all of your input about it.
Also miss you Moon, hope your doing well.
And again, Love the story SpecialRaptor. I think I am caught up, but I am not sure if I am. I am at chapter 21. But I really like the story, can’t wait to read more of it!!
Well, I am off to continue writing and reading!!! Until next time!!!

I rise again, The Hen is back in Achatina.
5 years of Dododex Fanfiction. WOW. That’s awesome. So many people came and left during this time, this community has gone through so much. But nothing could stop it, not even Silver Dye incident, and it evolved into something great.
All the stories made symbolize the community and the people who kept it going.
Moon, our founder, we would be lost without you.
Happy 5 year anniversary to this community!!

Hello everyone! I’d like to say that I think I’ve finally decided on the naming contest.
While there were several names I loved, I knew I had to pick only two. For the Deino, I immediately knew which name to choose.
I have chosen the name Sky, suggested by My Biggest Fan. I loved Breeze and Wave, but Sky was the most suiting to her for me.
As for the Carno, there were a few names, and it took much longer for me to decide. Marsh was nice, but sadly I had a minor character already with that name. Kade was so good I almost went with it, but I knew there had to be something better.
At last, Fatooie suggested I name him after something in nature. I loved the idea and immediately began looking up types of plants that matched his color.
I finally settled with Basil. (Pronounced the British-English way, BAH-zil, not Bay-zil. Google it if you need.) I thought it matched well, and decided that will be his name.
Can’t wait to write about him in the story, both him and the Sky are coming soon! Thanks for everything!

To: SangToareGirl, DiploLover, and RelatingHen
From: Ben, & KM
Hey, saw the new chapters that came out, so I wanted to give my thoughts out for those.
SangToareGirl, I managed to catch up with The Five Talons of Aberration. So I’m telling from the setting that it takes place in Aberration (the MC Kiri has an Yi Ling and the title is based off of it). It seems that some sort of town had been built in the caves of Aberration, which Kiri is situated in. The Five Talons mentioned in the title are probably some dangerous/powerful artifacts of sorts that will be used to accomplish a goal or secure/save the world. The prologue was mysterious but very fun to decipher. The town in Chapter 1 may be linked to the Prologue, as it seems the woman in the Prologue was thrown in the pit by the villagers of the town. I’m guessing the creature that was hunting her was a Nameless, as the appearance matches (i think) and it’s described that she climbed out of the shadowy place of “no names”, which correlates to Nameless. I do not think the girl in the Prologue is the same as Kiri, but I’m sure they’ll meet (if they are different people). Anyway it’s cool so far, we can’t wait to read the rest.
DiploLover, Chapter 9 was really cool and ominous, especially Astra’s nightmare. When Shadow mentioned “powers beyond” it makes us think that there’s more than just FrostPaws and FlamePaws and whatever other Paws there are. Perhaps it’s linked to Pax’s time powers, as I don’t think a ‘TimePaw’ would be a thing (time and the elements are on completely different leagues). Also, makes us wonder why Shadow made Astra do all of the work if he’s that powerful. I suppose laziness gets to the best of us. Also I guess the main ship will be Astra and Prince anyway… sorry Pax. We’re not exactly kicking our feet and giggling, but we think it’s fun nonetheless. Anyway, cool chapter, we’ll be around for Chap 10.
RelatingHen, thanks for letting me know that Terad is Level 100. So for some reason I thought Terad had died when it was actually Sodden? I just misread it. Also it was cool to see how the respawn mechanics worked for the other humans: they lose all of their levels, which is why Sodden and Rod were so low level when the Giga killed them. It was an epic battle though for Chapter 10, and really fun to read. It was nice to see that Terad and Rod sorta made up for what happened. I’m still curious about who Rod’s old tribe/boss was, I’m supposing we see them in Aberration segment of the story. This is definitely gonna be a lengthy story, but we have the assurance you have the resilience and willpower to march through and finish it. Oh yeah, we were also pleased to see hints at meeting other tribes at the end of the chapter. It’d be nice to see their opinions on the other characters, as we haven’t really gotten any new characters so far. I hope we run into Dundo and Nesan again at some point, since I believe we haven’t seen them since the Carcha Incident. Anyway, we’re intrigued to see how Section 2 / Part 2 of the story goes!
TW: Moon tells pretty much everything about this dead computer of hers
Ok firstly, it was a touchscreen hp with a terrible camera. It worked really well and I did everything on it, even though just turning it on sounded like the loudest fan in existence. I wrote on it, played on it, and made art on it as well.
So uh, one day it fell off a chair and dented its side. The screen managed to somehow pop out so we had to have it replaced. Plot twist, three months later the screen randomly popped out again, and upon me attempting to push it back in, it cracked. This led to the whole left half of the screen just ominously crooked, the connecting part of it broken, and the computer looking like it’d honestly just been through world war three.
It still worked, though. Sometimes the screen went black so I had to adjust the top half with my hand, and then the screen would come back on. Sometimes I’d be just chilling on it or writing and the pathetic screen would just fall backwards, and I’d pull it back up like “what have I done to you smh”
Second plot twist, just a few days ago, I was turning it on, and it made its dying noises before finally glitching and turning off forever. Poor thing, it even had a name

From Ben,
Hey everyone. Chapter 16’s finally been released in Meganeura. I’m sorry if it seems mediocre at first read. There isn’t really anything to add to it except keep the plot going. The next one should be more interesting.
Before I go over other things, I want to go over my Chapter 15. I rushed it a little, but I want to explain the ending of Chap 15. IF Bob survives, and he is able to beat all the Guardians of the Ark, yk, stuff like that to beat the original game, then EVERYONE will survive. All scholars who have ever died will be brought back to life. That’s what the President meant by “nobody else has to die”. Yeah that’s about it with my story.
GhostGamer, I read Chapter 17 of Hope’s Cry, but I am more confused than anything. Who is the kid that appeared with the other dinosaurs? (i am sorry I forgot his name). Is Buddy Jake, or was I wrong the entire time and Buddy is an entirely different Purlovia? I think I need some clarification. Sorry, that chapter was just very confusing to read. Clarification or a summary on what happened would be great.
SunnyFox, my favorite character in your story is probably Emma. I didn’t really care about her at first, because I thought Jack and Jay would be the main characters, but she’s smart and doesn’t hide things just because of ‘plot’. She seems like an interesting character who has a lot of potential to grow and stuff. And my favorite explorer notes are also from Mei, she’s my favorite character in Ark. She’s very cool, and just such an interesting character. Maybe it’s because she’s from the past so when she interacts with these dinosaurs and stuff it’s really cool with the old-style way she writes notes in.
Wyvernian, you are right that naming dinosaurs won’t save them from impending doom. I guess it’s just a superstition of mine, if I name them I’ll care about them more so I’ll try my best to keep them safe? Idk. After all we can respawn, but dinosaurs cannot. And I’ll take your outline tracer mod into consideration, I’ve been trying to look for one but it’s difficult since most of these mods are kinda bad. And I don’t really want to boost any of my tamed dino stats, or modify anything. The last time I did that my dinosaurs became too unbalanced, and then things became unfun. I want to beat the game on somewhat official rates (only thing changed is Show Damage Text, and using the single player settings).
Yeah that’s about it for now. See you next time.
Moons Broken Computer (In the US National Anthem)
O say can you see
By the screens early shine
What so proudly we present
Of the screen of joy
Along with creation we see
As the screen is broken down
As the shine goes to dark
We honor the light
As weeks has been by
A new screen shall show
O say can you see
Of the glorious screen of the Obelisk
-SandmasterXD
Note: This poem is to honor Moons broken computer which chapter 96 will take some time to come out, The poem I has the Star Spangle Banner theme. Salute to moons computer. 🫡
