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
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.

Acid the Dilo part 16
I woke up with a start. Something was wrong. It was a few weeks since Spitfire’s funeral. Acid and I had taken extra precautions ever since the cave. I wasn’t about to let the same thing happen to anyone else, especially not Acid. I had a spiked wall on all sides except one and that was were the danger was coming from. I quickly jumped out my front door and was almost immediately greeted by poison to the face. I screamed in agony. Wtf how was a wild Dilo right outside! I called for Acid as I flailed around in the dark. Then suddenly Rocky my little dodo ran past me pursued by a wild Dilo! The poison began to subside and I launched myself at the Dilo. I was in a panic and never realized that I had equipped my club instead of my pike. I nocked the attacking Dilo unconscious then spun around to see Acid grappling with another stronger Dilo. I ran to Acid’s aid, nocking out the second Dilo as well. I stood panting beside Acid. Not a good way to wake up. Then I realized the club in my hand. For the second time in minutes I though “wtf” to myself. “I’m such a noob. Can’t even equip the right weapon” I said to Acid. “Oh, we know.” She replied. I shook my head at her, she always has something smart to say, doesn’t she. Then looking at the two unconscious Dilos I thought to myself, maybe this could become a good thing. Long story short their names are Toxic and Karma. Toxic is teal and she’s Acids BFF, they get along great (and get a real kick out of my noob moments.) Karma is also teal but with a hint of pink in her and she is like the little sister. She’s always goofing around and getting herself stuck or lost. I love these two girls and Acid of course appreciates the help in taking care of me.
Part 17 coming soon!
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
