They say beaches are low resource/low threat areas right? WRONG! I used to live in one close to a cold region and some of those decided to run around the beach killing everything there. Fine, I hid from them in my tatch base and once they were far enough I thought I was safe, that until another freaking pack started doing the same. I hid my Dilo (Galinha Punk, my beloved only tame, great companion) inside the base and ran through the ocean to hide on some stones. And this was way before they cold spot me. Result: I had to hold my tears and watch in horror as they destroyed the little base I put on all my effort to build, killed my poor boy and kept going like it was nothing! Their levels were way too high, I couldn't fight them, but I was so sad I tried, died, couldn't respawn there cause I had no bed anymore, and couldn't get my stuff because they were near. Of course i waited until they went away, and of course wild dilos destroyed the rest of my stuff. I shall have my revenge!
Genesis is probably the buggiest map I've played so far.
So, I'm doing the pollen mission and notice that my current tames aren't dealing enough damage. Fine, I'll get a spino instead. I find a level… 20 and a level 90 with most of its stats in food and oxygen (I play with awesome spyglass). Okay, I'll teleport to the volcano and find an allo, they're more common.
I find the PERFECT breeding pair (to me, anyway). Female with 26 points in health and a male with 26 points in melee. I start knocking out the female but underestimate just how many tranqs I'm gonna need. Spent about 60 getting the female tranqed, but managed to tame her up with some prime meat and cryo her.
I go to get the male, but I run out of tranqs halfway through, try to use a slingshot, and he's just loosing health, and my current tame is on 20% hp. I try to make a trap but I'm horribly unprepared and I have to run. Fine… I teleport out, bring my allo home, and name her "Shardarna" 36 POINTS IN HEALTH. I'm feeling GREAT. I head back to the volcano. But the other allo is… he probably fell through the map. I find a few more allos but they have awful stats, and yet somehow they nearly merk Shardarna and I reluctantly do a dino wipe because the chances I find an allo like this again are like… 2%. I kill some weaker dinos for meat, heal, etcetera etcetera. Until I decide to head to the Arctic biome in search of a nice base spot. I start the teleport, and a landslide happens just at the last second, Shardarna gets shoved out of the teleportation zone, and I'm left stranded in the ice biome with no tames.
I immediately teleport back and run over to where I last was. I can see her green outline with my spyglass but… Something's wrong, the map isn't loading properly, classic ark, it'll load when I get there. I keep running over, and she clips through the floor.
Oh well, I already cheated once. I go into ghost mode and fly down, frantically trying to cryo my rapidly falling 20k health allo, but I can't get close enough and everything is being incredibly buggy, I keep going down, down, down.
"Your allosaurus was killed"
…
I fly out of the void, get ALL my gear deleted as well because I was going too fast, and I am furious at this point. So, as any normal person would do, I give myself my four most important items back: 1. My axe, 2. My pickaxe, 3. My crossbow, and 4. My allosaurus with 36 points in health. But… How am I supposed to do that?
I spawn in at least 50 allosauruses and spend the next 20 minutes flying around this massive heap of dinosaur and tranq the one with 26 points in melee out, then lead the other guys away and kill a level 10 for prime. I tame my 115 up, and get 16 points in health and almost merked by a level 40. But he's still alive, and he has 36 points in melee. I had planned to fight and kill ALL other allos since I was cheating, but considering my stats, I teleported (fearfully) back to the Bog and returned home.
He's alright. For now. Though I plan to get one of those mods with a cryo gun, in case anyone else falls through the map.

P.S OK I HAVENT FINISHED THE OTHERS BUT WRITERS BLOCK IS GETTING TO ME SO- AND THIS STORY WILL BE IN LOST ISLAND ABC ORDER GOING THROUGH EACH DINO IN THE SECTION I HOPE EXCEPT ACHATINA I DONT WANT TO BURY ANYTHING.
I swear these guys show up everywhere.
I love horses, always have, so when my boyfriend told me there were equus’ on our map, I immediately went to work finding them and figuring out how to tame them. Eventually, through much trial and error, I managed to tame 3 Equus’ and a unicorn in the highlands of Ragnarok. I hid them in a little tower on the edge of the map so nothing could get in and hurt them.
My boyfriend build a base on the other side of the map before I went on this taming spree and the only way I could get my babies back was for him to fly our argentavis all the way out, grab one, then fly it all the way back to base. A tiring process. After relocating the unicorn and the highest level Equus, the time had come to pick up my favorite. A brown and black striped one named Cadbury. He took off with him and saw a blue supply drop.
After scouting the area and determining it as safe, he landed, setting Cadbury down while he ran up and grabbed the supplies. When he returned, three Allosaurus’ were on Cadbury. Prior to this trip, I put all of my Equus’ on Neutral, so upon being attacked, he fought back. It didn’t take long for them to wear him down :(
These guys come out of nowhere!! They’re fast and Cadbury probably couldn’t have outrun them anyway. Watch out - especially along the treeline!!
The Island- chapter II
Marcel’s hands hurt. Badly. He spent the past hour hauling huge branches to a spot on the beach he could build a small shelter. He couldn’t remember how he got here or much of anything for that matter, but he could remember basic survival skills. Food, water, and shelter were essentials if you were going to last more than a day. And since he had a water source right nearby, and the small bushes on the beach yield plenty of berries, Marcel felt he didn’t have to focus much on food or water. So now he was able to begin building a shelter. Nothing fancy, just a teepee style structure. He spent the next thirty minutes leaning the large branches together. Once he finished, he stepped back to admire his work. It was sizable and would keep him sheltered from the elements until he could figure something else out. His hands still hurt but it was worth it. He then realized how hungry he was. Apparently the berries weren’t as filling as he thought. He saw a few dodos on the beach about 100 feet away. He figured, worst comes to worst, he could kill then with his bare hands and eat them raw, but if he could find an easier way to kill then he would. His gaze fell down to the beach and he noticed a large, sharp rock, glistening in the sunlight. He picked it up. It was quite sharp, and a grayish color. He wondered, could I make something with this? He went back to his shelter and picked up a stick and some fiber-like material he acquired while picking berries. He then sat down and strenuously worked, tying the sharp roch to them end of the branch with the fiber material. His end result wasn’t pretty, but he was satisfied. It was a pick. A very primitive pick, but for now it would work as a tool and a last minute weapon, need be. He then turned his gaze to the dodos. As he turned around, he heard a high pitched hissing sound. He turned around and saw a short, two legged dinosaur barreling towards him. He was shocked but he raised his pick axe, ready to defend himself. All of a sudden, the dinosaur stopped. Marcel thought it was second guessing his decision to attack. Marcel, after all, was tall and muscular. The dinosaur cocked its head back, and its head snapped forward and his eyes burned. The dinosaur had spit something in his eyes. He panicked and started flailing his primitive weapon around. He could only see blurry outlines but he knew he hit the thing at least once, in the side. The dinosaur emitted a shrill cry and pounced onto Marcel, biting his throat. Marcel gurgled, and dropped to the ground. Dead.
Hey guys thanks for reading! Just a quick note, I’m trying to make my fanfic as real to the game as possible😅. Remember these are based on my experiences from playing the game, but as you will see later there are some differences between the gameplay and the actual story. Also I will be going through the list of creatures amd dropping a chapter in each. I started with the snail thing and I’ll end on the yutyrannus, then I’ll circle back. Thanks again for reading!
Fires and the Flood, Prologue...
Kaen...
You. Yes you. You know that I'm talking to you.
I can't believe you did what you did. I thought you loved me! I... loved you. But then you turned on me. You tried to kill me! Believe me... I tried... to forgive you. I see you over there, sitting on that cliff. Looking at all those wyverns. As if you saved them from something... as if I was a threat. A danger. I wasn't before, but I'm thinking perhaps it is best if I become one. Perhaps there is no other way to survive. You are the danger to me... and I will become a danger to you, to everyone. Just because I am not of your kind... I am different... I was not a villain. But you, you are. You all fear what you don't know. You are cowards. You turned my own parents against me. You will fall, everyone who stands against me will fall. You monster. I refuse to let you hurt anyone else. Believe me, I wish that I could change my fate. That I was born as anyone, anything else. Just to avoid this pain. The pain that you caused me.
And you...
You will never see the light again.
By the Fires and the Flood.
There is a storm coming.

These things can be a real pain early on. My brother and I had just started on Valgaro and we where doing good. We had a nice house with a great view of the river, a breeding pair of raptors and a bunch of other various animals. Life was good. one day we decided to explore the other side of the river. At first everything seemed fine, but then on our way back we saw them, two allosauruses blocking our home. We tried to sneak past but they saw us and chased us all the way home. Suddenly they turned and we thought we were safe. But then we saw why they turned. They had found our beloved pets and were attacking them. The battle was fierce and it looked like we might when win. But then one by one our pets showed up in the death chat until only our raptors where left, the prize of our position. By now one of the allosaurus had died and there was just one left. But that one was to much and we lost everything. moral of the story run away from your hour not towards.
