Won’t be long before they will add this guy as the best flint gatherer

Suggestion: Faso is able to un-smelt iron by crunching it up. It would have a button similar to the "seed fruits" that the iguanadon has. It would be useful for crafting things that require raw metal, or maybe it would be a decent way to sort metal out. It could also have a special item called "fasolasuchus plates" that would be used on the saddle. The saddle could provide protection from sandstorm, and give the rider a temperature buff.

Everyone is downvoting the name ideas because they suck. I mean come on, Joe mama, Doug, Scaley Dingle, really? We can do better than this

Please give them ability to protect you from sand storms

Sand it goes into the sand because it is a sand shark

It harvest flint when sand swimming and only flint

(SCROLL DOWN FOR TLDR, THIS POST IS LONG)

Since some people still seem to be confused, this creature is NOT coming to ARK: Survival Evolved. The last creature being added there is the Rhyniognatha. Rather, the Fasola is going to be the FIRST new creature for ARK: Survival Ascended, an upcoming remake of Survival Evolved running on the same game engine as ARK II. It is supposed to have higher quality graphics, some fixed bugs and exploits, and even some new models for certain things. The Fasola will be coming to Scorched Earth (and likely other maps with desert areas). There will also be another new real-world creature for each canon DLC map (Aberration, Extinction, and both parts of Genesis).

As for its use (subject to change from the original submission), it will mainly function as an armor-shredding living trap. It can bury in the sand (not in any other terrain), leaving only its jaws visible. It can grab and immobilize most creatures, even up to the size of a Yuty or Rock (note that large creatures take less time to escape). This dismounts the enemy creature’s rider if it has one, and while it can fight back, it does much less damage to the Fasola while being grabbed. As mentioned above, the Fasola is much stronger against “armored” creatures, including but not limited to Doedics, Ankys, Stegos, Kentros (immune to recoil damage from it), and Rock Elementals. The Fasola thrives in the heat of the desert, it gets buffed when it’s hot and gets weaker when it’s cold (it helps its rider resist the heat as well). It also resists sandstorms and fire attacks; however, it is vulnerable to explosives. It will also be a handy harvester, it can gather stone and metal and will likely have a high weight stat and/or have weight reduction on those materials. Finally, while able to be ridden without a saddle, you can give it an advanced saddle that has two slots for turrets and three seats (one “pilot” and two gunners). Note that it can only burrow without a saddle, as it impedes its movement.

tldr: The Fasola is coming to a REMAKE of ARK 1 rather than ARK 1 itself, it will be on Scorched and will be like a living, armor-shredding trap that can equip a turret saddle.

Thank you for reading!

Spawn code is tree-dupe have fun

Your at home bear trap! Can have ballistic turrets with 3 seats, hide in sand and trap any size of creature. If it has a shell or armor the faslo will be able to crush. Tamed by dragging your tames with shell or armor to it to crush

I hope this things saddle is level 90 like the rhyniognathas also what will eat and can you fight the manticore with it
