What are some stories about the dilophosaur? Memorable dilophosaur stories, wild encounters, and fan fiction.
So I was on a mountain, looking for an equas (don’t judge if I spelled it wrong) and in the corner of my eye, I see something pink. I thought it wouldn’t go for my base but, I had to check. When I came to my base, I saw the bag from a dead carno. My tames killed em but something was WRONG!!! Rian my dilo was dead! I RAISED HIM MYSELF!!! I was very sad. But at least my base was fine. RIP Rian. -SpecialRaptor
Steelslaughter here,
After my lesson regarding the Moschops, I gained an ounce of wisdom and harvested meat to domesticate a carnivore for defense. Looking around, I stumbled upon one of many dilo’s to come, and knocked it out with my bare hands, further educating myself on the taming system and acquiring my first true warrior by my side. About 1 ARK year later, I had about 12 level 20-35 dilos outside my base, guarding to end’s meet. They were true forces to be reconned with.
Stay sharp,

When I started a new game I spawned in a rocky beach with a reasonable amount of trees rich with dodos and dilophosaurus, as I got better and better at surviving the dodo and dilophosaurus amount in the shore fell drastically and therizinosaurus spawned, later the triceratops disappeared along with the igaunodons, new creatures appeared for a short period of time and some raptors wandered out of the jungle and nearby river. Does anyone else have this problem? This is an example of environmental changes on earth because I am slowly destroying the dead area and I’m moving to a safe shoreline across my megalodon infested bay.
I had an army of 7 dodos on moble (single player so I had no tribe to back me up). I had the game set to brutal difficulty, and I was still level one (brutal difficulty makes you get almost no XP) I saw a dilo, and thouht we could take him, and I was wrong. It turned out to be level 225 ish and killed all but one of my dodos, and 2 shot me. I managed to recover 4 of the 6 fallen dodos inplant, but those 2 whose impants were lost will be remembered. DO NOT engage on brutal difficulty without a mount. Especially without finding its level first.
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
I tamed 4 dilo I named them alpha,gama,blue,charlie
I was preparing Trap for tickle chicken to tame it but suddenly tickle chicken attacked them 4 but blue only survived I miss the three dilo we love hunting Dino's Only blue survived like in jurrasic park
Press the button on sky to pay respect
I cant walk around, see a high level and beautiful one, and not tame it.
I like dilos so much, i have a lot of them, oof my weakness-
So uh, the first time i played ark mobile i tamed one, i dont remember her name but she was my partner for a long time, when i reached level 16/17 and builded a raft i was thinking about where i will live with her and my dodos, but a sarco came out from nowhere and i was very scared and i runned away from the sarco, i forgot my dodos and her with the sarco and they died, after this i get so sad and cried a lot, the end
Sorry, may bad english

When I was planning killing another dilo my Dilophosaur cae and killed it however when I tamed a Carbonemys and a Parasaur a Therizizinosaurus came and killed everything (except for the Dodos)
I abandoned my Dodos but I tamed a new Dilophosaur and then some Dodos now I am happy again.
The End
Let me tell you the tale of Dalia, Destiny, and Skarlet. My Dilo pack.
First time ever playing Ark, was unfamiliar with the game still, but knew the basics. I wandered around the beach and found my first aggressive dino, A lvl 85 greenish colored Dilo. However I didn't know it had a high level, as I assumed that early game creatures would be low level (grave mistake, I know) so I brandished the wooden club I had from the taming dodo pursuit(playing on mobile btw). I snuck up behind it and started whacking it. I didn't have a spear, and my hatchet was broken and I had yet to make a new one, so the club was the best weapon. I originally planned to kill it since it could pose a threat as it was near my base, low level or not. However after getting a few good hits in it eventually started attacking me, which was then when I realized it's level. However, I continued my onslaught and eventually,after losing at least half my health, it fell unconscious. I grab my pickaxe to begin killing it for it's much needed hide, but then I remembered you can tame things in this game (shocking, right?) so instead, I decided to tame it. It was my first EVER tame (aside from that one dod which I killed immediately),so I named the now level 100-105ish level dino Destiny, as it was Destiny that brought us together. After it stood up, I felt a wave of confidence, so I put destiny at my base, healed up, and went Dilo hunting. I found two more, a really pretty red one and a lightly colored greeny. They were wandering pretty close together so I originally thought they were mates. Yet for some reason, that didn't stop me? I wandered closer untill the green one, slightly lower level than what destiny was on, spotted me. I saw no heart and she was female, so the other one was likely female too. Anyway, the lightly green colored one chased me, but luckily the red one hadn't spotted me. I made my first real smart decision and lured her away from her friend instead of staying there to be gangbanged, and tamed her up as well. I repeated the process, naming this one Dalia and bringing her back to my base. I really wanted the red one two, as I really liked the colors, but was running low on meat. Killed some lystros, and went for it. Unfortunately, I forgot to heal, and the red one was a whopping level 115! I nearly pooped, and its bite broke half my cloth armor. I ran all the way to the base, where I debated on trying to take it, or letting my new tames kill it. Then I looked at my stats to see how much health I had, and noticed I still had engram points
I looked, and realized I could learn the Bola engram. I did so, and just BARELY had enough hide to make ONE. I did it, and found the Dilo. Bola flew through the air, and kapow. Dilo trapped. I went up close but was reminded that they could like, spot, so that was an unpleasant surprise. Nonetheless after breaking one club and panicking I eventually knocked her out and named her Skarlet, as a nod to her colors. She was by far the strongest Dilo,.so I took her and named her "Alpha" of the pack of three. Though it wasn't official since the game doesn't have any kind of pack making system in ark. I went to sleep, and awoke the next day.
Unfortunately, some time later I got too reckless and they all died while I for some reason tried to tame a lvl 64 raptor assisted by a lower level mate. I eventually did tame it, but I forgot to leave my dilos behind and they tried to fight it, which they died, but if they and at least one more in their pack they wouldn't have. Also I probably could have helped I kinda just stood away, watching..
I was still fairly new to the game leave me alone :(
The Orinthian Warrior Book 1 Part 10
Dilo had horrible visions last night (yes now I’m calling him Dilo although it sounds RIDICULOUS). First he visiualized the world dissolving before him, and in the next, raging fire… standing firmly higher than the flames was a huge dragon, about 35 times his size. His scales glinted dark red, reaching lighter near the forearms and forelegs. His yellow eyes bore into Dilo’s, and Dilo instantly recognized him as the Dragon himself.
“Everything you see before you right now… is real. I am standing in flames right now, visiting your dreams for a warning… Manticore is alive. He sent the Three Drakes after you. They will HAUNT you… and a Great Propechy is on its way…”
“But why visit ME?” Answered a cold, gruff voice. At first Dilo didn’t recognize the voice. Then he realized it was his own…
“Come forward, for the words I say will change you forever…”
“In a time when the overseers are in chains, the Orinthians will come. In a time when the world starts to frail, the Orinthians will come. The acid-spitter of gods origin, searching ever since the beginning, the rock thrower from the colony of sand, freeing the Ark will soon be at hand. The wyvern of ice who lurks in the snow, must be found and you will know, and the spider from the deep who lurks in the dirt, shalt throw your troubles down with a flirt. Of the three guardians Lysrix, Crystal and Dragon, whom must be found before he who antagons, knows that if he becomes stronger and higher, he will know the location of the Ultimacy Spire. 4 to be found on the darkest day, 4 to be found when the land turns stray, when the world is devoured, one will say, The Manticore is Coming…”
Dilo woke up shivering, and hovering above him, flapping his wings as he flew to the ground… was the ghost of Bluefeathers.
From now on I’m making these stories kind of a bit long lol. -ShadowPossessor
Okay, so, I was walking around South Zone 2 (Almost indefinitely where I’m gonna spawn every time) with my dilo. We were walking when this random sarco came up and started chomping on me. My dilo started attacking it, and somehow, I ended up getting away. Minutes later my dilo came running up with 20/150 health. I looked in it’s inventory and it had 1 sarco skin. After that, I tamed 3 more dilos, 1 turtle, a parasaur, and a dodo. I went and found him, hanged up on him, and won the battle. I named the dilo that saved me Savior.
InterARK - Ep 2
(episode 1 is in dodo section)
---???---
Mia wandered around aimlessly, the sand felt like hot coal on her feet. She spotted a bird, a dodo bird to be exact.
The dodo was near a few bushes, said bushes had a few bushels of berries of all sorts of colors.
The dodo was picking at the bush, only picking out the purple berries.
Mia, having not eating dinner, was hungry, and if the berries were good enough for the dodo, it was good enough for her. On second thought, the berries could be poisonous, and the dodo could be the koalas of this world.
But you win some, you lose some, so Mia ran and scared away the dodo, the sound of petrified squaks slowly fading because dodos can't run very fast.
Mia picked out all of the berries, and decided to eat a few. She decided to eat the black ones, since they looked the most delicious.
After she ate some (or, rather, the whole bushel), she suddenly felt very sleepy, and fell asleep (unwillingly).
When she woke up, it was nighttime. Great.
She was still drowsy from eating the black berries, so she didn't think when she saw the red eyes glistening in the moonlight.
High pitched chirping came from the farther away bushes, and suddenly, it clicked; Mia was being hunted. The chirping became louder as more eyes were revealed.
Mia tried to quickly get up, but stumbled and lost her balance, sliding down the sand.
One pair of red eyes crawled out from the darkness revealing sharp teeth and a crested head.
Two more crested heads emerged from the darkness, and screeched, revealing frills on the side of their heads.
Mia quickly got up again, this time with success. She ran across the glistening beach, and into the forest, the sounds of hungry dilos keeping up.
No matter how fast she ran, the frilled creatures always kept up, suddenly she heard the leader screech and spit acid towards her. Luckily, Mia ran fast enough to dodge it.
She looked behind her, and saw... nothing..?
Rule number 4 of all horror movies is don't stop running, even if you think your alone; that being said, Mia kept running.
She found herself on a different beach, she slowly sat down, keeping an eye on each of her sides
Thoughts spiraled in her head, did she really survive THAT? Where even is she? What.. were those things?
Mia shook her head, trying to get disturbing thoughts out of her head.
She curled up in a ball (still sitting), since she was cold. Wait, she was semi-naked so.. um.
She heard a low grumble nearby, and looked around, panicking.
Oh wait, it was just a triceratops.
The trike was just wandering around aimlessly. Maybe not aimlessly.
It's frill was glistening in the moonlight, so pretty!
Mia soon realized that the things that were chasing her were Dilophosaurus. "Wait, no that couldn't work.. those are extinct," Mia thought.
But.. maybe.. that wouldn't be too unbelievable, I mean, a triceratops is walking around basically in front of her.
That brought some MORE questions. Is she in a place were dinosaurs are still alive? Is time travel real? Will she be crushed by a meteor tomorrow?! ...Or is this all a dream?
All of this wondering... all of these questions... if Mia didn't find out something, ANYTHING, as to where she is.. she would basically go insane, or if worst comes to worst, die.
Mia slowly got up, thinking about what she should do on this people-deprived island. One thing for sure, is that she needs weapons and protection. And food. And water.
Mia went to a fallen tree, and, almost upon instinct, punched it.
Ow. Mia grabbed her knuckles in pain. Punching a tree is a no-go.
Mia walked away from the fallen tree and found some leaves attached to a long stick. She picked the leaves and stick up and walked back to where the trike was, and sat it down.
This went on for, an hour? She had collected many sticks, leaves, stones, and- yeah you get the idea.
The sun wasn't going to rise for awhile, so Mia decided to try and craft something, but what?
"Okay," Mia said to herself, "what to do? I could craft something like... a spear? But what happens when I spend too long crafting a spear? What happens when those creatures come back, a-and I have nothing but a stick?!" Mia continued to mutter on, what she didn't notice was that she was biting her nails, and she bit the pink part, the pain snapped her back to reality.
The triceratops grunted, and started to walk towards the pile of materials.
The trike shuffled through the pile, and took out a stick, and sat it away from the pile.
"Hmm," Mia muttered.
She picked up the stick, "Well, I guess I have you for protection," Mia chuckled at the trike.
She began crafting a 'spear', putting thick sticks on top of eachother, tieing them together with thatch. She put the sharpest rock she could find on top, and tied the rock to the sticks.
Behold! A spear as efficient as eating water with a fork!
(ima just put the rest in the purple dye. also the last ep is in black dye)
Anyway, I am very good and spamming nicknames for you. All I need is a small description (since I've never met you until just now) of what you like and I'll give you 50 nicknames. I like snakes. I like the sea. I like not spelling things correctly. Bam! Seasnake.
