So my pack of dilophosaurs when I first started the game was the best dino I have ever tamed in a long time because one time I was just strolling by a river and there was 2 sacros(the giant crocodiles) and what I did was not engage yet and turn all of them on turret mode and when I hit the sarco because all of my dilos where on kill the thing that I hit when they all spit in instantly killed one sarco and then I baited the sarco until all the dilos could spit again and almost instantly killed it because it was a level 30 which is a decent level then I finished it of and I was rewarded with a sarco skin! I will definitely recommend a pack of dilos for early game not late game tho unless you want turrets for your base lol

The dodos roam the beaches as they search for their favorite kinds of berries.. mejo berries (purple berries) they squabbled and marched, hopefully nothing went wrong right?.. well something did… they barely heard the rustling in the foliage from a disastrous venomous dinosaur…. That dinosaur was called the DILOPHOSAURUS.. the dilophosaurus soon strikes and bit the neck of a bluish purple dodo, the dodo squealed as venom had been injected in their nervous system soon paralyzing the dodo, soon it died to fatal injuries as the devilish frilled lizard ate its unfortunate target. [THE END]

The Orinthian Knight Chapter 1: The Broodmother’s Awakening P7

Foreword: I haven’t uploaded in a long time… again. Very long break. But now I’m back. And if you need reminders, yeah, Dilo is a Dilophosaur lol.

Shortly after the battle, Dilo was forcefully healed by the medics working at the arena. They all had weary faces, sweating from hard work, but they were capable of getting the job done. Dilo went outside, figuring it was already night, a starry night in fact. He clutched the dark pyramid in his claws.

And it activated.

The eerie light coming from the inside of it brightened up the desert within a radius as long as a Sarchosuchus from one end to the other. It started to vibrate. Dilo turned around, and noticed that depending on where he was pointing, the vibrating accelerated or slowed.

After a quick rest and the implant-pyramid in hand, Dilo begun on another chapter of travel on the Scorched Earth. He treaded across the sand, occasionally spotting a few rocks standing out among the desert. There was one night put a sleeping bag on one of the rocks, only to discover it was a Rock Elemental.

Dilo discovered an oasis in the middle of the desert, where he was able to quench his first and fulfill his hunger off the little meat he had in his inventory. He leaped into the water, refreshed after days of walking across the desert.

And that’s when he felt the rumbling.

He got up from the water of the oasis and made his way up the lone palm tree until he reached its peak. It slightly bended under his weight, but he could get a viewing point. He observed a slight, extremely fast movement in the sand, and whatever was making the movement was one of the largest creatures in the land. A Sandworm.

He went back down onto the sandy floor. He knew the Sandworm would detect him, but Sandworms have their way of finding everyone eventually.

He remembered his early days from being trained by the Overseer, back when he was still young. The Overseer used an old Samsung TV from the 21th century to present examples of running and it displayed a human called Usain Bolt, the fastest guy alive at the time. The only reason Dilo went back to that memory was because at the chance of the Sandworm detecting him, he will have to run as fast as Usain Bolt, no, faster.

He went into a pre-sprinting position. He didn’t know why people did it, maybe likely to give them a boost. He then begun sprinting at a high speed for a Dilophosaur. His legs and feet weren’t much adapted to the heated and sand-filled environment, but he hoped they would be able to carry him far enough to get out of reach of the Sandworm. He accelerated to the point his speed matched that of the common Raptors in the other Arks where the climate was far more balanced than this one.

The Sandworm detected him.

It begun moving towards him at what he described at the speed of sound, catching up to him every passing second. An idea, a flicker of a plan, developed in his mind. He glanced behind him. The Sandworm started to dive slightly into the sand, ready to leap. In that intermission, he steered himself so he was heading straight towards the Sandworm as it approached. The Sandworm raised its upper body into the sky and steered itself downwards, threatening to swallow Dilo as it plunged towards the ground.

But Dilo thought otherwise.

He raised his claws into the air and jumped while running. His claws came in contact with the beast’s underbelly and he scrapped its flesh off as it leaped into the ground. The Sandworm groaned, then dived very deep into the sand, about to perform an attack from below.

The Sandworm suddenly appeared below Dilo’s feet, the sand collapsing from under him. He barely managed to hold on to the Sandworm’s teeth as it seemed to kiss the clouds.

He struggled to climb up and unsheathed a metal axe from his inventory. As it begun to fall into the ground, Dilo lunged and jumped inside the Sandworm. As he did, he slammed the sharpest edge of his axe against the top of the Sandworm’s mouth. He rode down towards the Sandworm’s stomach as he scrapped away at the Sandworm from the inside. The Sandworm roared in agony and tried to cough Dilo up, but it was too late. He ended up in the stomach.

He felt the Sandworm hit the ground and saw an avalanche of sand plummeting through the esophagus.

He grabbed the sticky surface of the stomach’s walls and wall-climbed out of range. He watched as the “sandalanche” tumbled into the Sandworm’s acid-filled stomach. This did not seem to affect it at all. But whatever Dilo would take out from his inventory next would. He took out a few large hand grenades and threw them. One hand grenade went near the middle of the stomach. Another hand grenade wound itself stuck on the surface of the stomach on the opposite edge. The last one, though, was stuck to his hands, so he was forced to pry it off and throw it between the locations of the first and second grenades.

The Sandworm perished as the explosives went off.

To be continued.

Once upon a time I joined Ark survival evolved. The first couple creatures I tamed were dilophosaur. Much to my dismay I realized they weren’t very strong. So I tamed more and more. Then bred them for mutations. Until I had a bunch of level 250+ all with melee and health stat buffed. While on gen 2 in the Rockwell garden just southwest of the reaper cave I saw a max level shadowmane. Well the shadowmane thought I was lunch but didn’t see my 20 dilos near me ready for lunch. That shadowmane didn’t live to tell the tale. Fast forward to ark ascended first two creatures I tamed were dilos. Only this time I didn’t go as crazy to get stats. Now they are just randomly roaming around the outside of my base on aggressive. It’s been almost a month and not a thing has threatened me outside my base. I only have two. Good boy. And Barbasol (from Jurassic park). We play fetch every day. Then we laugh together when he poops — seriously they laugh when they poop. It’s hilarious

I was walking along minding my own business when I saw a dilophosaur who wasn’t being chased or chasing anything jump off a high cliff into the rocks below and died.

Apparently dinos can suffer from depression too

The tale of the shadow phoenixes

Chapter six.

“Look at all these instruments.” James marveled, fingering a guitar. “Do you play guitar?” Cole asked. James grinned. “Oh yeah, I’m great at it if I say so myself.” “What about y’all?” James asked. “I play the piano and the violin.” Arianna said. “I play the electric piano.” Cole said. “I play the drums.” Tom said. “Honestly, I don’t really play any instruments I just like to sing.” Leah said. “What about you Arianna don’t you like to sing?” Cole asked. “You have a lovely voice.” Arianna blushed. “Thanks, but I just don’t like singing in public. It’s….embarrassing.” James raised his eyebrow. “But you aren’t in public. You’re with us….you’re friends.” James said. "Yeah, sing for us Arianna.” Cole said. Arianna’s face turned even redder. “…um…no..I mean… no thanks.”

Later that day Cole and James wandered off together. “So….you wanna come to the pond with me?” James asked mischievously. “Uh sure why?” Cole asked. James grinned. “Well… Arianna and Leah are going there to just well…sit there dipping their toes in like all girls do. And my serious brother won’t be there to try to persuade me to do the “good thing”.” Cole gaped at his friend. “Wait a second, you want to mess with the g i r l s?” James nodded. “As in play a prank on them?” James nodded again. “Hey, listen I know you like Arianna and all…no don’t deny it I’ve seen the way you looked at her when y’all first met….but listen if anything goes wrong we’ll blame it on me. Ok?” James asked. “I don’t know…..” Cole began. James narrowed his eyes to where they looked like puppy eyes and stared at Cole pleadingly. Cole sighed. “Oh all right fine.”

They headed to the lake and waded in. “The girls should be here any minute but we don’t want them to see us so go underwater and your breath as long as you can then we’ll scare them.” James said.

A little while later the girls arrived to a empty lake. They dipped their feet in all the way to their ankles. “Ah this water is so refreshing and I’m so hot.” Leah said. Arianna smiled. “Yeah and we’re the only ones here so it’s so quiet.” Arianna said. Suddenly Leah looked up. “Something touched my ankle!” She exclaimed. “Yeah something touched me too! Wait we probably just touched each other, it’s fine. Besides there’s no fish or sharks in the lake.” Then Arianna and Leah felt something suspiciously like hands grab their ankles and began to tug. “Ah!” Leah yelped. “What in the…” Arianna was kicking her foot around trying to free her ankle when suddenly she struck something. A head bobbed to the surface. He had long wet black hair and his eyes were practically dancing with mischief. “Hi ladies.” James said. “James! What were you thinking?!” Leah shrieked. James shrugged. “It was Cole’s idea.” Cole surfaced, still holding his sister’s foot. “It was not!” Cole protested. “Oh you two!” Arianna exclaimed angrily. James chuckled and grabbed her foot again, and starting pulling her toward the water. “Hey you owe me. You hit my chin so hard.” James said. The girls tried to resist but eventually they gave in. They splashed each other with water and swam after one another around the lake. After a while it started to get dark outside so they headed back home. “See y’all tomorrow.” Cole called looking specifically at Arianna. She waved goodbye. James passed him, smirking. Cole punched him playfully in the shoulder.

Next chapter coming soon!

Rapter story: Chapter 1

I am hated by most animals. Why? I mean, who would want to be pounced on every time you try to walk in the woods? As normal, I was low on hunger. I wandered the beaches in need of a dodo. I didn't find a dodo, instead, I found a Dilophasaur. But, he was different. He had a name. Then a human ran Infront of me and started firing arrows at me. I tried to pounce but I was knocked out. When I woke I was inside a hut. A campfire, bed, a... A dodo! I licked my lips as I charged at the dodo but I stopped. Something inside of me was telling me that it was wrong to kill the dodo. I never felt like that in forever! Then, the human called me...

250 likes and I'll do a part 2!
