The Red Pike
Red’s story, part 9
They had traveled to the other cave, after countless hours of swimming.
“I think we’ve made it.” Red said. The mosasaurs and sharks had been quiet, and only replied when told to do something.
“We might need to fight our way here, I think I remember seeing something of the sea emperors here.” Bruce said. Once everyone entered the cave, sharks swam away from them, going to alert the others. Luckily the wounds they got from the last battle had healed, and now they were ready to fight. Two mosasaurs came to the front, but the sharks had swarmed them both, quickly killing them. They progressed further, killing everything in their path, until they got to the very end where only one squid remained.
“We suffered heavy casualties last battle, you might not have realized it, but now it’s the end of the sea emperors.” The squid said.
“Join us or die here.” Red said. The squid thought about for a second, then replied accepting to join them.
“My name is tentacles.” The squid said.
“We need to find the artifact here.” Red said.
“I have it.” Tentacles said. Tentacles handed the artifact to one of red’s tentacles, where she kept it hidden on one of her tentacles. Now they just needed to defeat The Red Legion, but not let them get the artifacts they had retrieved, to stop them from getting any artifacts.

Red’s story, part 8
The group were at their old base, kelp cave. They decided to explore it a bit more, and this time they had found a hidden room with a strange, orange glow.
“What could it be?” Red asked curiously.
“I’ve seen a few survivors in the ocean with these, they call them ‘Artifacts’ and I overheard a conversation with two of them, saying they could fight huge creatures with their rexes and theris.” Bruce said.
“We should take it before the humans can!” Red exclaimed as she grabbed it.
“Very well then, I heard there was another one in another cave.” Bruce said.
“We need to investigate there too, see if we can also get the artifact.” Red said.

Nerva’s story part ten
By Red Dragon
They scoured the redwoods for two days, when at last one soldier reported finding Goliath. Argentavis were circling him, and he was on the ground, dying. He had wounds on his chest and face. Nerva’s soldiers shot the Argentavis out of the air with ease. Nerva walked up to Goliath’s head. If something is more powerful than Goliath than, well, why would he need Goliath? He ordered many of his troops to remain here and search for the other creature. He had some other things to do. He got an Itchthyosornis letter from a soldier named Sarah Smith. She was the only survivor of when Tyrana escaped.
The Red Pike
Goliaths Story
Chapter 6 (I think)
Goliath turned to face his enemy, a gigantic dinosaur resembling a giga, but with antlers, glowing red eyes and long arms like a therezinos. The dinos name was Ghidorasaurus (a reference to the name of Godzilla’s worst enemy, King Ghidorah). Goliath roared and pounded the ground with his club as Ghidorasaurus approached him slowly. The two faced each over for a whole minute, examining every feature on the others body, trying to find a weak spot. Eventually Goliath identified one, but Ghidorasaurus had as well. Goliath charged at Ghidorasaurus (Ghidora from now on) and swung his club at the dinosaurs head, but it grabbed the club in its jaws and wrenched it out of his hands. Goliath knew this wasn’t going well, then, Ghidora went for his neck, biting onto it with his jagged teeth and drawing blood. Goliath groaned in pain and blood began to bubble out of his mouth. The ferocious creature clawed at Goliaths chest, staining it with blood, then it tugged with its jaws, tearing open Goliaths throat. Blood gushed out of the wound and Goliath collapsed to the ground. Ghidora walked away victoriously as Goliath lay, bleeding on the ground, slowly dying...
The next day...
Goliath lay on the ground, his fur matted and covered in blood, with a huge gash in his throat. Goliath was hardly breathing, and argentavis were starting to circle his dying body. Goliath was nearly dead...

Walkers story part Eight
By Jedi
Walker stood in the forest. The trees were wreathed in flames. Fire climbed the vines. Siyu and Nerva we're in a clearing, fighting. Siyu was losing, so Walker ran to help. But the ground became sticky, and pulled at his feet so he couldn't move. He called Siyu's name, but his voice made no sound. He drew his bow, but it crumbled to ashes in his hand. Nerva's like shot through his gut, and Li fell to the floor. Then the ground began to crack, and then fell away completely. He fell to another layer and looked up. Nerva was there, his like raised for the death blow. But then he dissipated like sand in the wind. Then Helena, his siter, stood above him. " You must stop this from happening." She said. He woke up in Siyu's house. No fires, no nothing. The cook sat next to him, making some know of medicine.He was covered head to toe in bandages. Siyu stood in the corner, watching the cook work. Christopher sat up with a groan. " Good, your alive" Li said. " We have business to discuss." The cook ran to him. " he just had a nearly fatal encounter! He needs his rest!" But Li shoved him aside. " out of the way, Harvey. We need to prep for war."
DUN DUN DUH.
Good evening ladies and gentlemen!!! This is your (UBER LATE) Ark Community News.
Before we begin, I want to start by saying I will leave a full review of the content and lore added behind the recent addition of Lost Colony. Anyway, back to the news.
First things first. I do want to say that the Lost Colony DLC has released!!! With over 13 new entities/creatures, and eight of those being completely tamable. Along with all new skill trees, roaming npcs, new structures and weapons, and dozens of cool skins. The new DLC for ASA has hit with a bang!!!!
In later new from January, Wildcard officially released a roadmap of new content DLC (mind you this does not include remade maps releasing, crossover content and possible Fantastic Tames coming within this time period) coming in the future of ASA. With this year’s DLCs being a revamp and hopefully redoing of Ark’s most beloved battle royale, Survival of The Fittest made and now run by Studio Sirens. The creators of Aquatica... Which should come between March and May.
Followed by Tides and Fortunes, the first of two Bob True Tales expansions which will release alongside the free DLC editions of Genesis Part I and Part II. This DLC is being looked at releasing Quarter II of 2026 (which for all will most likely spell out being released in July and/or August). This DLC will bring urge of booty stealing and da love of da sea to those who have an itch to be their inner Jack Sparrow as you command the sea as a filthy sea lubber. Or maybe even a scaly wag. As this DLC will most definitely be bringing Pirate themed adventures to the new and extremely expanded oceans of Genesis Part I.
The next DLC for 2026 will be that of a mini in game Dev Kit, which will be called World Creators. This is planned to release Quarter III of 2026. And is promised to be a way for Console and PC players to make their own maps and share them in the community mod page. So to those who fancy their world building and creator style building games. World Creators will be the DLC for you.
The last new paid DLC to be announced to release for Quarter IV of 2026 is by far the most anticipated DLC bt the community. Which is called Dragontopia. This DLC by Wildcard has promised to bring a HTTYD style of gameplay to their new dragons releasing with this map. Giving you more of a growing partnership with these animals over the instant domesticated animals we have in Ark currently. While not much has been said. Everyone has their ears perked in hopes of a HTTYD crossover with this new map.
And while this is the only officially revealed stuff for 2026. Next years content for 2027 has also been announced with Nekatus making a new map called Atlantis, the Star Wars themed DLC of Galaxy Wars: Bob’s True Tales for Genesis Part II newly expanded space biome, and a special edition of what is called Legacy of Santiago releasing at the end of 2027.
Speaking of Nekatus, Nekatus has announced his new content releasing for his largest map yet. The Greek Wonder that is Astraeos. This update which he calls his Mega Update releases thw new finished island of Pyranthos. The new desert wasteland filled to the brim with caves, new environments, and ruin. New monsters fill this land with such monsters being the Scorpian King, Scorpian Queen, the giant minotaur Minotarchos, the tamable Grand Tortugar. And the epic boss that is the Hydra. There will be so much more to unpack within the next few days. As the release of the Mega Update that is Pyranthos releases February 25th of this year.
And that, is surprisingly all of the recent Ark Community News of these past few months!!!
Im probably going to be getting ASA soon when the fall sale starts because me and my dad are worried Aquatica is going to ruin the game even more and that is are special thing and is it sad im making a list of Mods for Asa and im am going to die if he does not add Runic Wyverns. Also Great Apex is fully grown she has a few friends Coral my Pearl Wyvern and Snowflake my Glacier Wyvern.

Here are the creatures in Zytharian Critters Creatures
Current creatures included are:
Misc Creations:
Dodoreaper
This is a cosmetic reskin of the Reaper with no stat changes.
It is a knockout tame and does not include a skin in the mod to apply to vanilla reapers.
Spawns in Monster Island spawners.
Dragolf
This is a cosmetic reskin of the Ravager with no stat changes.
It has a 5% chance to spawn when a vanilla Ravager spawns.
Skrillsaur
This is a mid sized carnivore in the tier of the Allo.
The stats are similar to the Allo though having slightly higher health and melee since it doesn't have any pack bonus.
They spawn anywhere a vanilla Allo will and in some mountain biomes.
Plate Wyvern
This wyvern has a stone based breath that has a very short range. Upon hitting a creature with the breath it will be turned to stone for a small period of time preventing it from moving and making it take extra damage while like this.
This wyvern can spawn anywhere that vanilla wyverns spawn as well as on Monster Island. It is acquired by stealing an egg from a nest so unless the map natively supports wyvern nests you will not be able to get the wyvern even if you do see it. Examples of this is on the island where it has a monster island spawn but no nests by default. You can use another mod like simple spawners to add in nests if you wanted to other maps.
Metal Wyvern
This wyvern has a harsh breath that shoots metal shards at its target. This inflicts immediate damage and may in the future cause bleeding.
This wyvern can spawn anywhere that vanilla wyverns spawn as well as on Monster Island. It is acquired by stealing an egg from a nest so unless the map natively supports wyvern nests you will not be able to get the wyvern even if you do see it. Examples of this is on the island where it has a monster island spawn but no nests by default. You can use another mod like simple spawners to add in nests if you wanted to other maps.
Vepent
This is a large deep sea serpent that you will find in the lower depths of the oceans similar to Mosa and Tuso. However it can also commonly be found in smaller tunnels and nears rock edges swimming around.
The males of this species include a sulfuric plume that corrodes its enemies while the females use a necrotic plague that saps the strength of their enemies.
They are a Knock out tame.
Trovant
This is a larg crab formed of stone and roots that lives deep in the forest. It can run around clubbing things and its large flat rock back can be built on similar to the Megachelon.

Nazgûl!! Hi again.
I, as you should know, am one of the writers of The Omega Timeline and a member of the crossover council(the group of people that started TOT which is the big crossover we’re working on,lol. Although technically Ben was the first one who started TOT. :)
Here are the current members in the order that they joined:
Ben (the founder of TOT, author of The Arks: Over Heaven),
SunnyFox57,me (author of The Riddles of the Phoenixes series),
Wyvernian (author of Pandora Chronicles series),
PrimalApex (director of TOT, author of Ultimus and non-canon sequel to The Obelisk, Journey),
MrGhostGamer (author of Hope’s Cry),
Sylveevee (author of Queen of Aberration),
Moon (founder of Achatina Community and author of The Obelisk).
Break-it who recently joined and will be writing in the next arc(author of Son of Rockwell.)
Moon Tales Girl who recently joined and will be writing in the next arc.( Author of Moon tales)
The story is about characters from each of our stories entering a rift within the DDEX space time continuum called the titular Omega Timeline. The characters meet and interact but trouble starts to brew At the moment, heroes and villains from all respective stories are in an all-out war. However, there are many story arcs that will occur that dive deeper into other stuff. Some of the things planned are a Zombie Apocalypse story arc, which is planned to happen after the Heroes VS Villains arc, and an Omega Rockwell story arc, which is planned to happen after the aforementioned Zombie Apocalypse arc.
How the collaboration works is one person writes a chapter, then it goes onto the next person, and then the next and the next and it cycles back to the first person. The order of the writing goes based on who joined.
The writers in TOT write in the order that they joined.
The Crossover Council has discussed whether or not to allow you in TOT.
These are the conditions:
1.Your story needs to be at least 3,000 words.
2.Your characters must have depth or personality.
3.You must have a consistent writing schedule.
4.You need to have contributed to Achatina community. You can do this by giving feedback on other stories and talking with other writers and readers.
5.Crossover Council must approve of the person.
After a bit of debate and research(Think of it like a job interview. Except we’re looking at your story/stories) we have decided to allow you entrance in. You have met most the requirements and definitely have contributed to the community a lot.
You are now the 10th member of the Crossover Council. Your chapters will be after Moon Tales Girl’s.
You will write your first chapter of TOT after we finish the Heroes and Villians arc. You’ll write in the Zombie Arc. We’ll tell you the plan once we start on it. We mostly discuss stuff on the DDEX fandom but we give the DDEX Crossover Council members all the info they need to know. (U can also join the fandom if U would like.) Try to write you chapters in a fast manner but don’t rush yourself.
Don’t stress when writing the chapters. We will all give feedback and encouragement on each chapter. It’s for fun, okay. Here’s the info you’ll need when you join.
Which characters will join. Please have 3-5 only. No more than 5 plz
When will they join in their story. Like for example, what chapter they came from. Chapter one? Chapter eight? Etc.
Please give brief character personality and facts on your cast thats joining so that those who aren’t caught up can know.
And while you wait for TOT to get to the Zombie Arc you can start catching up on the stories! You’ve done pretty well on reading most of the stories so you only have to catch up on a few. If I recall correctly there is a list of the stories listed several times here in Achatina.
Thanks again! Cya around!

Important Announcement: Chapters 31+ are currently under the planning stage, I’m going to figure out what I’m going to do for the REST OF THE STORY so this may take a little while… perhaps a week at the maximum? But after planning is done I should be able to confirm the total amount of chapters before the end of the story… how much left can I predict? Still quite a bit: i wont spoil much but there are 10 artifacts in the original game…
Anyways, Paul has a message for all of you!
Heya dudes and dudettes! My name is Paul, and I’m Ben’s buddy! Long before Ben made this story of his, he created an Ark story called “Arks: Beyond Time”. It features me as the main character!!! Isn’t that amazing? Well, Ben is saying right now that I’m NOT, but I think he’s a liar. Why else would my name show up 247 times throughout that story? That must mean that I was the one destined for greatness! Nyah hah hah, Ben says it’s a flawed work that needs revision… but I disagree! Anything with ME in it automatically makes it a masterpiece! Well, I know you all may be bored waiting for the next chapter… and you know what maybe the others here won’t be able to deliver just yet. So I, the magnificent Paul, shall show you tidbits of the story as you all wait for the next chapter of The Arks: Over Heaven to finish! I promise you’ll love it, nyah hah hah! In fact, I’ve posted a tidbit right now in Archaeopteryx! I believe it will be in Aerial alphabetical… But if you want you can take a quick read! I promise you it’s much shorter than The Arks Over Heaven in length! - Sincerely, PAUL

Nerva’s Story
Part five
Nerva and his men approached the creature. The village was smoldering, and Nerva’s soldiers were worried. They approached the creature. The best way to describe it was a giant koala, but it looked savage. It also had armor and a weapon, but they were crude. Nerva commanded his men to shoot at it with their rifles, but it brushed aside the bullets, and smashed soldiers with its club. In the end, all of Nerva’s soldiers, were dead, except for Nerva himself. He looked straight into the creature’s eyes, and took out his pike. The creature roared at him, but Nerva stood his ground, bloody, bruised, and battered. He stabbed the creature right in its right eye, and partially blinded it. It roared in pain. Both of them limped away into the forest in opposite directions, knowing this wouldn’t be the last they saw of each other. Nerva was stranded in the same forest as Goliath, and his comm was broken...

It had stopped raining. That was good. On the other hand, Christopher was being approached by two bloodthirsty guards that wanted his head on their wall. He took a few steps back and unseathed his claws. Pained flashed through his broken bones and he fell to the ground. One of the guards chuckled and continued forward. Christopher grabbed a huge branch and hit them both, then stabbed them. He dug through a few documents and pulled out one. And then he learned who he was going for. Not Gauis Nerva, but his grandson.

Chapter 25 and 26 of JTAC was enjoyable. There were a few iffy moments, like how Fox and Gunner, who are creatures, randomly could talk with no explanation. Overall, the Titanosaur Showdown was the most memorable moment of the Chapter. The boss fights were okay, but they didn’t feel as special as the Titanosaur Showdown because they didn’t possess any heartfelt or interesting moments. The Gitez and Sylveevee reference were cool, i s’pose, but I wouldn’t throw their names around carelessly. If you ain’t asking permission to put them (and I’m assuming more soon) in your Multiverse, the least ya’ could do is treat their names with respect, in whatever way you use them. Anyway, I’m interested to see how the rest of the Scorched Earth Arc plays out and how Rock Death Tribe played a role in the Ravage.
