People see this creature add evil. I see it as amazing. I mean, it looks cool, it's fast, it tries to mimic your emotes, and I just absolutely love this creature. Even if it wasn't crazy OP it would still be my favorite ARK creature, and still my favorite creature period. I don't care if you don't agree, just know that this creature loves you, and you should love it back.

Soooo...it’s sad story time, people.
I was at my bog biome base breeding Bloodstalkers and I found one that appealed to me at first sight, with its cool orange color (not mutated, maybe the parents had the same color but I couldn’t see it.) I fully imprinted it and took it to the Arctic for a test run. I got several levels on it, and soon enough, it was a beast with 10k health. So I decided to go to the Volcano to do some missions. I settled on the Magmasaur egg stealing mission on gamma difficulty as a nice easy test run. As I stepped into the cave, my Bloodstalker tore through countless high level arthros, scorpions, magmas and even a rock golem! (He was doing extra damage because of the mission.) Eventually, he was pretty low on health, so I healed him a bit. Then we made it to the egg cavern, and I saw the egg. I also saw twenty Magmasaurs guarding it. I thought I could take them down, but they pushed me into the lava. I made it out of the lava, kentros, magmas, arthros charging at me, and then...
I died. The lava had damaged my character too, and I died right off my Bloodstalker’s back-or, well, arms. All I could see before the respawn screen appeared was a horde of Dinos attacking my Bloodstalker, who fought till the end. I respawned in my bog base and looked at my other Bloodstalkers. I swear, I will breed a Bloodstalker so strong it can go into that cave and kill every creature there, especially the Magmasaurs.

The Terrible Demise of Tortuga
Chapter nineteen.
The next morning they slept in do the whole morning the Petersons were all rushing. “Gay done with breakfast son!” Aragorn told Jack hurriedly. “Where is my hairbrush?! Josephina?! Do you know where my hairbrush is?!” Emma called to her sister. “Where’s my coffee?” Aragorn asked his wife. Finally they got out the door. Emma, Jack and Jay came in late to their class. Unfortunately their teacher was already there. “Hmm…Petersons, you’re late! Sit down, and once class is over I will find a suitable punishment.” Mizz Hawkthorne spat venomously. They carefully did so. “Now, where was I before we were rudely interrupted? Ah yes, do y’all know how islands are formed?” Aaron jr’s hand shot up so quickly and suddenly that the Flash would have been embarrassed. However Mizz Hawkthorne ignored him. “Nobody? Tsk, tsk. Islands are formed mostly from volcanic eruptions. Now there was a volcano called “el elemento or the element. This volcano had been made during the arks. Instead of lava it had melted element bc element had been put in the lave and fused together to make…melted element.” “One day this volcano erupted and…….” She continued talking about how the volcano had formed Tortuga. On and on she talked until finally… “Okay class. Before y’all go just so y’all know the maggots…I mean- the mayors are hosting a ball at their manor. Please tell your families. Everyone needs to be there, unless you are sick. Find a dance partner or just watch.” Mizz Hawkthorne said. “Now class dismissed. File out in a neat line.” The class began to, the Petersons were in the front hoping(in vain) that their teacher would forget about their punishment. She did not. “Wait! It is time for y’all three’s punishments. Hold out your right hand please.” Jay who was in the front did so. Mizz Hawkthorne pulled out a long ruler with sharp jagged edges. She quickly brung it down on Jay’s hand. He bit his lip to keep himself from crying out in pain. That would only make her happier. Next she did Jack. Then it was Emma’s turn. Mizz Hawkthorne hit Emma’s hand once, then twice then one last time. She had hit Emma’s hand two more times than the boys. Emma blinked to hold tears back. She felt like she was going to black out and her knees felt weak. Emma grasped around with her uninjured hand and grasped someone’s arm to steady herself. *Flash!* Emma’s world flashed before her eyes (no she didn’t die). Suddenly she was in another school room. There was a teacher in the front lecturing his students. Just then the door banged open and a younger child version of Mizz Hawkthorne ran in. Mizz Hawkthorne’s teacher frowned. “You are late. You must be punished.” The teacher said. The young Mizz Hawkthorne’s eyes swam with tears. “P-please n-no I was helping my mum.” She protested. The teacher pulled out a ruler with jagged edges. “Hold put your hand.” He demanded. She held out a trembling hand. Just as the teacher brought the ruler down and was about to strike her hand everything flashed again and Emma was back in the schoolroom in Tortuga. She was grasping Mizz Hawkthorne’s arm. Her teacher glared at her. Emma let go. “Sorry.” She mumbled. “Move along. And may this teach you all a lesson.” Mizz Hawkthorne said.
“Are you okay?” Andrew asked Emma. He and Emilia were checking on Emma. Despite Emma’s best efforts tears began to drip down her cheeks. She shook her head at Andrew. “Here let me see it.” Emilia said. Emma held out her hand. Emilia gently took it into her own hands. She grimaced at the sight. Emma’s hand had a deep cut in it and was bleeding terribly. Andrew yanked at his shirt sleeve and tore of a chunk. He gently but firmly tied it around Emma’s hand. “Here I know what to do. My dad is a doctor. I’m gonna take you to your house and we’ll bandage it up. Ok?” Andrew asked Emma. Emma nodded. “Thank you.” She whispered.

You materialize in the bog biome, HLN-A floating beside you, you walk to a wet patch to drink, the water tastes vile but after the sulfurous taste of the water in the volcano biome it's like tasting paradise, you think about the scaly egg you just got, knowing it will hatch into a fearsome magmasaur, you pat the leathery scales of your X-parasaur, it did well getting you out of the volcanic eruption, then suddenly something long and white shoots from above and sticks to your parasaur, the terrified animal honks in distress as it is hauled into the canopy, you look up then with a thud the body of your para drops to the ground totally drained of blood with just three slits on its side, you look up again, and another white streak comes down, hitting you and pulling you up, you feel stabbing pain, see six gangly limbs, four bright red emotionless eyes, you feel something inside your body, like you're deflating, you feel unable to breath, you drop to the ground, dead
First time taming one of these:
I was casually running around on my Theri that I had tamed and levelled in the Arctic. I was just slapping everything in my way when I was suddenly yoinked off my Theri. I had no clue what was going on, so I looked up and saw the bloodstalker. I thought “Oh hey, this might be useful!” So I checked its level with my spyglass. 145… I quickly struggled out and returned to my base in the Arctic to grab my blood kit. After filling my inventory with god knows how many blood packs, I returned to the bog and to where the bloodstalker was. It was still there (thankfully) so I let it pick me up. After maybe 4 or 5 minutes, it was tamed, and thus began my absolute takeover of the Genesis simulation.
The Obelisk
-Chapter 16-
The three carnivores had been walking for a few hours. They were almost to the end of the swamp. Forest was beginning to spot the horizon through the thick mangrove forest.
Snap! Something like a stick or twig broke behind Forest. He whipped around. “What was that?”
Spark and Rust were in the front, arguing. Whatever it was, they obviously hadn’t heard it over their own bickering. Forest slowed down to listen.
Hm. Nothing. Maybe it was a Compy. According to Spark, They were very curious.
Up ahead, Forest heard Spark yell, “NO, it’s WEST, DUMMY. ‘NEVER—EAT—SOGGY—WORMS.’ See?” She whacked Rusts head with her tail.
“OK OK. I thought the last part was ‘wheat’,” Rust muttered, rubbing his head feathers.
Spark groaned, stomping even farther ahead.
“Guys,” Forest called. “I had actually heard something back there.”
“We’ll it’s gone now!” Spark called over shoulder, sounding irritated.
“Did you give her a hard time?” Forest asked Rust.”
The deinonychus gave Forest an obvious look. “Kinda. Like, I was only fifty-nine percent trying to give her hard time. The rest was all genuine.”
“Really.” Forest was not too convinced.
“Oh, hey, look up!” Rust called. “Quetzals!”
Green and blue and red creatures flew overhead, sliding on their ginormous wings. Tiny tails sales behind them as they bellowed to one another.
“They’re carnivores, aren’t they?” Forest asked. “Why can’t I understand them?”
“All fliers have this special language only they understand,” Spark said, slowing down for Forest to catch up. “There’s Carnivore, Herbivore, and the Fliers Language. I thought Omnivores had a language, too, but I’m not so sure anymore.” She stopped to take a breath.
Snap!
Dodo tales (Ep16 S1)
Sand. All he knew was there was sand all over him. He spat out all of it from his mouth, And remembered what had happened.
"Anyone!?! Anyone else he-" a hand clasped over his mouth "quiet down, you're going to attract predators" it was Eden.
Relief came over Jerry, and then he remembered what had happened to Rick
"There's nothing we can do now. If we go back for Rick, we'll get captured, or killed" Eden said as if reading his thoughts. "We can still save hi-" Jerry jumped in surprise as his dodo pecked his leg. He patted the Dodo's head and said "at least I've got you"
"I suggest we build shelter, because there's no way we're getting back to my house before nightfall." Said Eden
Jerry still felt a little sore from his injury, so he didn't argue.
"It kinda sucks that Rick saved my life twice, and I can't even repay him for it."
"I know how you feel, my friend got eaten by a sarco a couple months ago." Eden replied
Then they started preparing for the night...
