More Dung Beetle Stories Tips
I tamed one of these little cuties while doing a chitin farming run in Lower South Cave. I filled all of my available cryopods, so my Argy was carrying it on the way back to my base. Argy started running out of stamina, so we were flying lower to land and restore when all of a sudden I see “Level 46 Megatherium killed your Dung Beetle!” Apparently we flew past a Megatherium and aggroed since Dung Beetles are insects T.T I’m so sad. RIP Dungus
Why?
I tamed a dung beetle, and brought it home. But when I leveled it up on weight nothing happens. So I went to the part where you level up and it says saddle is an option. But I check and there’s no dung beetle saddle. So im like “What the heck bro?” Cause first I can’t lev up on weight and now I can’t saddle even thought there is an option!?
When I was lvl 13 I tamed one of these beasts, a truly incredible feat, so I named him Timmy! Me and timmy were best buds and we did everything together. I took him on walks often until one fateful day. One day I was savagely attacked and killed by a gnarly lvl 10 raptor. Timmy chased him deep into the woods and I havent seen timmy since. *IF YOU SEE THIS TIMMY PLEASE COME BACK I MISS YOU*
The Obelisk
-Chapter 37-
They leapt out of the cave, landing with thuds in the dirt. Forest lifted his head, panting rapidly.
“Hault!” Yelled a voice form nearby. “Who are you? State your business!”
Out of the corner of his eye, Forest noticed a Terror bird, standing tall and scowling at the five carnivores. She looked young—but incredibly fierce and furious as she marched forward menacingly.
Forest didn’t care at the moment. He was too terrified. “What was that thing?” He gasped.
“Beyla,” Rust panted.
“I asked you a question!” The Terror bird was yelling.
“A Beyla??” Crimson roared. “They’re REAL?”
“yep,” Rust hissed as the Terri bird bellowed, “answer me you—did you say Beyla?”
And then it came.
A giant leg burst from inside the cave opening, and then another appeared, and another, and another, followed by a huge set of shaking wings as the insect clawed out of the cave, hissing ferociously.
Forest screamed out his lungs, his feathers standing up as he reared onto his back legs in fear. Rust and Spark jumped back as well, horrified.
The terror bird screeched and skidded in front of the beast in battle position, followed by Crimson as she joined the soldier, looking confident as it snarled loudly, flaring it’s wings.
Several nearby creatures cried out in fear and ran away, several others fled up the trees as fast as they could. No other Terri birds were nearby.
Suddenly hundreds of smaller bugs flew from behind the Queen, slipping around and passed her like a giant cape circular cape. A swarm turned and confronted the Terror bird and Crimson, and another, larger swarm flew straight for Forest, Rust and Spark.
Forest screamed again and bolted away, but the swarm was fast, and Rust jumped over him and turned to attack the bugs—but something strange happened.
Instead of diving and attacking straight on, the swarm dove down, and pivoted away— as if Forest or Rust had a flaming torch to drive them off.
The bugs flew up and around the two—hissing but not touching a scale or feather on them. Forest ducked and covered his head with his talons, grinding his teeth together.
“Spark!” Rust yelled. The swarm had flown away, now heading and divebombing Spark with infinite danger. Spark roared and snapped several in half—but there were way to many for her to fight alone. Rust ran forward, his claws ready to help her.
Forests instincts kicked in and he leapt on the nearest insect, killing it instantly. Bug after bug flew for Spark and Rust. Forest killed more bugs than he could count. But even more strangely, as the bugs attacked the others, they didn’t touch Forest.
He collided into another drove of Beylas and ripped the nearest one apart. As he jumped forward, the sack on his shoulder slipped, and fell onto the forest floor.
At that exact moment, bugs latched onto him and bit him hard with their pincers. He yowled with pain and rage and snapped at it’s wings, but missed as it dodged and flew away. More attacked.
To his left, Crimson was brutally slashing at the Queen Beyla. Several smaller swarms scratched her up as she bit hard into the Queens leg.
The Terror bird was wrestling with a small swarm, screeching with fury. Suddenly she leapt away and flapped her wings, letting out a ear-piercing roar that echoed through the nearby ravines and trees.
A few moments later, Terror birds appeared.
At least thirty of them stepped forward from above the ravine, all with expressions of pure bravery.
At once they joined the fight. Beylas we’re slowly disappearing as the soldiers crushed them under their claws, screeching with confidence.
At once the Beyla Queen knew this. She hissed and rattled her wings, flinging the nearest attackers off her legs and abdomen. Slowly but surely, she retreated back into her cave, calling several beyla swarms with her.
Not long after, all the bugs were gone. Broken insect parts were littered acrossed the forest floor, but none were left in the sky.
The Beylas were gone.
Hi guys it’s me the dung beetle again. My tamer now has flax armor and has spikes around the base. I’m now kept in a small cage. I almost got killed by a raptor I was very low in health and my entire body was in pain. But when raptor jumped on me the tamer went insane and cut the raptor’s head off with a sword. Glad I’m on his good side. He never took me out on adventures again with him. Which was kind of sad but I couldn’t blame him.
Hello I’m a dung beetle today I’ll be talking about well me and what has happened throughout my life. Guys just a disclaimer WE DO NOT EAT POO!! WE EAT SPOILED MEAT!! Any way back to me. I’ve been tamed just a few days ago and my owner has quit a few dinos that are scary but. When you grow up ina. Dark cave will dilos, bats, giant snakes spiders and scorpions. It was hard for me to be afraid of anything he had. Accept the tamer. He wore chitin armor which is the exoskeleton of my kind and relatives as well as the spiders and scorpions in the cave I lived in.he got me when I was lvl 16 now I’m level 18 some real progress right there. A carno tried to kill me after it broke into the base but the the tamer knocked it out but didn’t kill it. Then shove meat downer her throat as well as so sort of green liquid. The. She... liked him? She kind of obeyed his commands. My tamer says I eat her poo but I turn it into fertilizer fo his garden. And oil for something.
Dodo Tales (S3 Ep1)
Not that spicey of an ending for S2, but Loki sure thought so!
"Hurry, we can find the others" said sergeant
"We should stay put, maybe they'll find us" suggested Jerry.
"But-" sergeant was cut off by a great earthquake that had begun out of nowhere.
"We're dead, we're dead, we're definitely dead!" Jerry kept saying. Something big arose from the ground and quickly dug back down.
"Giant snake!" Yelled sergeant
"Looks more like a worm to me" said Jerry
"Giant worm!" Sergeant decided.
The ground shook so hard that they could hardly hear each other.
"YOU FOOLS! I AM NOT HERE TO HURT YOU, I'M HERE TO WARN YOU OF WHAT'S- *cough, cough*
-Of what's to come. There's a giant storm coming, and it's far worse than it seems."
"Uhhhhh"
"Did I hit the ground too hard?"
"We both did"
"It must be a hallucination"
"I know the location of your allies"
"OMG IT JUST TALKED!"
"No way!"
"We're sav-" Jerry turned around and his eyes widened.
"Dude...It wasn't the worm that talked."...
When I was exploring the artifact of the clever. I met this little guy halfway through I decided to tame the beetle with spoiled meat. After a while, he was tamed and I called him companion but that was short lived as I was attacked by a swarm of spiders, scorpions, and iballisks and companion was trying to kill them, you can already guess what happened...
