Deinonychus

Her eyes flicked open.

Her eyes flicked open. There was nothing around her. She was lying on the beach so she decided to go inland. (It was obviously a bad idea but this was just her first time here) She didn’t run in to any danger but then she heard a squawk. She quickly ducked behind a wall. It heard then slowly walked in her direction. Then altogether it stopped. Its footstep’s faded away and it was gone. She looked around the corner and came face to face with a deinonychus. The deinonychus slashed at her face. She ran injured and bleeding when she heard something crack under her feet. She stared down at the broken eggshell OF A DEINONYCHUS EGG! Before you could say “Run before you get mauled” she was surrounded by 7 deinonychus. As the deinonychus inched closer, ready to pounce and all hope seemed lost, a shadow appeared and they all looked up to see a man riding an argentavis. The man swooped down on the argentavis and picked her up. He soared over to a large structure with seemed to be his base. He dropped her there and DIDN’T kill her like most other ark people do. She lived there and helped the man expand the base and they lived happily ever after. Except for the fact that the horrifying face of the deinonychus still haunted her.

So once I was carrying a baby deinonychus in a procotodon when I ran into a lvl 37 allosaurus and my baby fell out the pouch never to be seen again 1 up = 1 salute

I was going around collecting eggs with my argy when the power went out. When it came back on, I got back into ark only to find that I had been placed right into a pack of them. Safe to say they killed me, my argy, and my compy.🫩

Once open a time…ah forget it.

So I had a bunch of deinonychus eggs (like 9) I got them all from using a bait technique so I hatched them all

Turns out I suck at being a parent because only 1 survived *-*

I named it snowy and it died to a raptor the next day.

I just got 3 new eggs and I named the babies Denise Deborah And Destiny. They died to a raptor as well. I just got 2 eggs and one had triplets. I lost them all today. I still have 1 egg to hatch.

God I suck at being a parent.

1 up = 1 R.I.P to those who have not made it past childhood T-T

A lonely rock drake walked into The crowd moving to the Abberation Trench on Valgrueo. They arent allowed to come, so he snuck in. The crowd walked and finally came to there. They moved in just as a baby raptor was born. Said raptor loved to adventure, so the little raptor and his siblings from across the map walked to the trench. The other two died fighting a giga (they grew up along the journey) but the little clever female escaped. She walked and saw the trench, and went in. As she was clever, she escape bigger predators. She walked into the mushroom forest and saw a rock drake, a male who looked sad. They talked and apparently the rock drake, named Zoomer, had lost his family before hatching. The humand took him but dropped him whilr they were fighting something. The raptor, named Cinder, told him about how she and her sibs were adventurers, but they died coming here. They became friends, and then mates. Zoomer died fighting off a bunch of karkinos and defending the nest. Cinder escaped with the eggs and made it to the White Cliffs, settling in and hatching the eggs. They turned into deinonychus and lived across the map. The spirits of them lived on and watched as their descendants killed every last survivor venturing in their territory.

I had managed to snatch an egg that had level 140 parents had was excited to hatch my first Deinonychus and took it back to my house and then put down a bunch of standing torches to warm the egg. I went to drop the egg in the middle of the torches and looked and saw the egg had not been dropped. Then I heard a heart dropping munching sound and realized that I had eaten the egg! Moral of the story: make sure you press Left trigger and not Right trigger on console when dropping eggs you plan to hatch!

The Extinction Of Humans chapter 2: Two Friends Meet

As mentioned in our last chapter,deinonychus were really invasive and killing everything. By now most of the earth was covered by deinonychus. Except one place: the deep sea. The deinonychus were extremely smart so they tried to figure out how to get there. By now their were barely any humans,but there were very few. A kid named harry wanted to stop the deinonychus,but he didn't know how. As he was thinking in his house,a large deinonychus pounced on the glass window,latching on and trying to get in. Harry was extremely afraid, and he hesitated because he knew of the power of deinonychus. But just as he thought he was doomed,the deinonychus looked afraid and ran away. Harry had no idea why such a horrifying creature would be afraid. He looked around. As he was looking,he saw a another kid. The kid came and said: "You okay?" Harry stood up and said:"Who are you?"The kid said: "Adam" Harry: "How did you scare away a deinonychus?" Adam:"Using this" It was a flashlight,deinonychus fear it when the light enters their eyes. They have excellent vision, so turning on a flashlight in their eye would damage it. Harry: "How do we stop the deinonychus?" Adam:" We must kill the mother of all these deinonychus,the first deinonychus who was born from the experiments in jurrasic Ark (the dino park we mentioned in chapter 1) using a microraptor,a raptor,a rock drake and a thylacoleo". "I think it's hidden behind a waterfall in fjordur in the vannaheim biome". Harry: "We should go their, but how?" Adam: "I know". (Adam calls a quetz) This is pretzel,my quetzalcoatlus. I built a house on his platform saddle a week ago". "We will live on him on our journey" Harry: Let's go!

The Obelisk

-Chapter 28-

Jethezzar stepped back.

“Wrath,” he called.

A black Ravager stepped forward. “Yes, sir?”

“Find this…. Needlesss,” He ordered her. “Start a search by where he fought Ripper.”

“Yes, sir!” She said. She scampered away to the others.

“And make sure he meets the same fate as Peeri,” Jeth snarled. He paused. “In fact, find ALL her followers. Every single carnivore that believes and trusts in this prophecy of hers. And don’t stop until there are none left who breathe.”

Wrath stood up on her back legs and howled wildly, and the rest of them howled in unison. One after another, the Ravagers ran for the exit of the cave.

You think you’re so smart, Peeri.

We’ll look at where you are now.

Who’s laughing this time?

***

All acrossed Fjordur, creatures are dying.

Carnivores are slowly disappearing. Bodies are found acrossed the lands, and badly scarred Ravagers are caught fleeing the scenes.

Are the Ravagers taking over? Are they planning on overrunning the Terror birds?

If so… why are they killing innocent creatures, who seem to have nothing in common?

Carnivores are whispering to one another…

Are these targeted carnivores? Or just random victims?

Or is something more sinister going on here?

So basically these guys are great my favorite but also the source of all my pain. I play Fjordr the most I find it not overly difficult but it’s not boring plus I my favorite Dino is only on 2 maps so it’s an easy choice but they are still broken. deinonychus have many issues their strong definitely and good for caves but the glitches are a problem. Simply put I was looking for a high level Rex on Asgard with a pack of 6 they are fast plus’s I needed to level them up to why not. Near that one purple and blue biome i jump on the deinonychus as you do and as I grab a tree my game froze. Game crashed right? Not a big deal? Wait like 5 seconds and now I’m where I was 10 minutes ago didn’t kick me and I rejoined still had everything it just teleported be to where I was 10 minutes ago me and the one deinonychus I was riding the others idk so I go back to look for them it’s happened before so it’s fine right it’s rare. Nope before I can make it to where I was it happened again right back to the same place as before now I’m done with this so I go grab a maewing and I’m now looking for the missing deinonychus I left behind when I teleported no where to be found I’m going to keep looking because I put too much in to them to lose them but this is the 4th time I’ve teleported. These guys are great just don’t use them exploration especially in groups just egg kill for the exp you need at this point I haven’t found them but I hope I do.
