Stories Tips

What are some stories about the glowbug? Memorable glowbug stories, wild encounters, and fan fiction.
The dinosauroid
Dinosauroids are troodon descendants found on the twilight ARK.
Highly intelligent, dinosauroids can be fluent in human language, build weapons or homes for themselves, and even tame animals.
They look like a slightly larger troodon with opposable thumbs and an array of decorative horns at the back of their skills that differ between every individual.
Due to the twilight ARK always being between night and day, dinosauroids and the smaller non evolved troodons are prone to spontaneous fits of mindless aggression.

The Kraken
The Griffin, the Phoenix, the Unicorn. These are a few of the fantasy creatures in Ark. But what about the Kraken? Deep under the sea, a monster lies. Feasting on mosas, the Kraken measures over 150 feet long and 70 feet tall. It is shaped like a giant squid, but with the head of an octopus. It's suctions have hook like claws in them, that latch onto its prey. Occasionilly it will reach up and pull rafts and tames down to the ocean floor. Sometimes, it will summon a tidal wave that crashes into land. No one has seen it, and lived. No one knows how it came to be. It wasn't created by the creators of the Ark. Some people think that it was Tustthoesis, that was somehow infused with tek. Others think it was summoned by,a warlok, who wanted revenge. No one knows, and they likely never will.
This creature is free to the public domain. Sadly however, my Pradeo Homines story was until now. I am going to be using it in one of my story's. Anyways, I'd love to see someone use the Kraken.

Tyrannosaurus Gigan
Sneak peek for The Allo Tooth Necklace!
The “Raiders” as the Tooth Bearers called them, had not just wanted to raid the inhabitants of The Island, they wanted to rule them. To do this, they knew they had to have a weapon more powerful than the Bearers could handle. They created a cross-breed between Giganatosaurus and Tyrannosaurus, and created the species Tyrannosaurus Gigan. It has the loyalty of a Tyrannosaurus, so it won’t attack its rider when angry. It combines the ferocity and size of a Giganatosaurus with the Loyalty and biting force of a Tyrannosaurus. This combination of two of the top predators of The Island makes it the Ultimate fighting machine, but with weaknesses, such as its clumsiness due to having Tyrannosaurus sized legs and Giganatosaurus sized arms, so it has some slight balance issues.
Praedo Homines (Destroyer of Men)
When the Arks were being made, they experimented with some of the islands most dangerous creatures, combining them all into one. They made it so strong, that it killed everyone in the facility and escaped into The Island. Nobody knows about it because nobody has lived to talk about it. It has fifty teeth that are as sharp as steak knives and camouflage. Their is no description for it because no one has seen it and lived. it's at the top of the food chain and it knows it. Only one person has seen it and he hasn't spoken of moved in ten years. The howling noises you here aren't ambient ones, it's the Destroyer of Men.
El chupacabra
El chupacabra is a bizarre archaeopteryx descendant from the twilight ARK. in the wild they can often be spotted killing and eating small animals by using their suction cup tipped feet to tear holes in their skin and then lap up the blood as it wells up, leaving totally drained corpses with a distinctive mark of three small punctures from the suction cups, this habit has earned them the name of "El chupacabra" after the cryptid, notably it's supposed habit of sucking farm animals of their blood, leaving three small marks in similar fashion to this creature.
But some chupacabra have turned to a more sinister lifestyle, living as total parasites forever latched to a host's flesh, supping on small amounts of blood for weeks on end until the unfortunate animal finally collapses from lack of air and is suffocated by El chupucabra's continued feasting,
However, not all of these parasitic chupacabras have such a one sided and deadly relationship with a host, some chupucabras latched to humans have turned to symbiosis, feeding only on small amounts of blood and in return using their wings to allow short periods of flight for their host, although at the cost of temporary exhaustion to both members of the symbiosis, as an attached chupie will need a lot more food for a few minutes after the effort of lifting both themselves and their host.
~Poecilotheria
(Look, I know literally everyone is going to say "Archy? This is more of a microraptor!", And to be fair I couldn't agree more, but doesn't the electrical piranha pompom that is actually a pegomastax and the giant wyvern-esque predator that is really a ptera prove that life on the twilight ARK adapts in interesting ways? Not meant to sound rude, although it's pretty hard to make that noticed when you can't hear my tone of voice)
The megalocarnophobiadiceratosicario (the ridiculously long name is deliberately that long, roughly translates to
"great meat eating fear with two horns murderer"
The megalocarnophobiadiceratosicario, or MCPDCS.
Was a massive monster from the dunes of scorched earth,
MCPDCS was HUGE he was bigger even than a titan!
He looked like a giant snake, his body as large around as a titanosaur, with a massive carno like head and jagged teeth that could tear down whole mountains,
He swam under the dune sea, feeding on alpha deathworms and swallowing whole villages off the map when he felt like it,
But one day, the overseer of scorched earth, the manticore, and the two other guardians of scorched decided that he was causing too much of a problem, they sent it to the manticore's homeland,
Where it battled the manticore, the battle was finally ended when the manticore flew down MCPDCS's throat and tore apart the monster's innards,
And megalocarnophobiadiceratosicario's bones still lie in the manticore arena.

The sea sausage (surprised nobody has made this yet.)
The sea sausage was a huge basilosaurus, about the size of a alpha tusoteuthis! This huge creature was king of the sea, he was very, very, lazy and told his minions to go do things for him. The things the minions mostly did was protect and find food for the sea sausage. Though, one fateful day, a human with a army of basilo, mosa, and tuso attacked the sea sausage, killing all of his minions, and injuring the sea sausage. It was said the sausage swam deeper, into a cave, and headed deeper into that cave, and because the sea sausage wasn’t smart, it died from the pressure.

The Swampling (I just had to)
The Swampling is a tiny little fuzz ball that lives in the swamps of whatever planet Fallen World takes place on (I haven’t actually decided the name of the planet). They are very similar to a jerboa in appearance, but have long, furless legs with webbed feet to help them traverse the swamps that they live in. Swamplings live in burrows with others of their kind, they live in ‘packs’ with an alpha controlling the rest of them. They are often hunted by creatures like Swamp Badgers, but are known to fight back quite viciously. Swamplings have sharp, pointed claws on their feet, they use these, along with the sharp claws on their forearms, to attack predators. However, the swamplings have two dark secrets: hidden in each of their wrists is a poisonous dart which they can stab predators with, leading to the slow and painful death of whatever was unfortunate enough to get a Swampling angry. The other secret is a pair of huge fangs dripping with deadly venom, so a single bite leads to a slow and painful death.
Bet you weren’t expecting something so cute to be so deadly!

Upea näkymätön(Finnish for great sightless one)
Upea näkymätön is a terrifying creature living in the deepest parts of Abberation,
Completely lacking eyes, instead with just two huge empty sockets, the great sightless one has such fine hearing that it can literally hear a compy breath from half a mile away.
Those who have seen it describe a creature resembling a giant nameless with thousands of tiny but incredibly sharp teeth arranged in several rows, five arms burst from around it's neck, used to grab prey even as it tears them to pieces, it's saliva is said to contain a deadly pathogen that mutates human prey into nameless even if they escape, it often prefers to take live prey back to it's lair instead of eating them, there it will blue them to the ceiling, leaving them for months until it becomes hungry, before eating them bit by bit, deliberately leaving them alive as long as possible.
(Yep, there is no denying it, this thing is a horrible monstrosity that makes a very fitting pet for
Sir Edmund Rockwell)

I’m surprised no one has made a myth about this yet.
Giganatosaurus Devourus
The Giganatosaurus Devourus was a species of Giga that was only known to live on Scorched Earth and Ragnarok. They were so huge, some could even take on Titanosaurs. They are now extinct, thankfully, but it is unknown what killed them. You can find skeletons of them scattered around scorched earth and Ragnarok. Some say the overseers chose one to become the guardian of another Ark and killed off the rest. Whatever the case, they still haunt the nightmares of survivors.
You can use Giganatosaurus Devourus, but only in two ways, otherwise it won’t make sense.
1. Your story takes place during the far past and also takes place on Ragnarok or Scorched earth.
2. You make up a new Ark (But I kind of want to do that after I finish the Allo Tooth Necklace so ask me first.) and make it the Guardian of that Ark.

Goliath
Deep in the redwoods of Valguero, a creature lurked, absolutely massive, diplos and brontos were food for it, it stood up to all of the redwoods predators and some say it even faced the Broodmother and won in hand to hand combat, this was confirmed when its rotting corpse was found in Goliaths lair. Goliath was a massive, bipedal creature with a nearly koala like appearance and claws as long as a therizinos. One day, it left the redwoods and journeyed across valguero, slaughtering Rexes, decapitating gigas, wrestling with mammoths and dragging wyverns out of the sky to bludgeon them to death with giant clubs of ice. Somehow, Goliath managed to battle and kill the bosses of valguero, and ascending off to some other Ark, nobody knows exactly where Goliath is now, but all we do know is that he is the mightiest creature on the Ark...
So, what do you think!? (And I do want an answer)

ARK Myths: Sabaku no ō
(This means King of the Desert in Japanese. Yes, I’m googling this.)
Sabaku no ō was the king of the Deathworms in Ragnarok. His army of sand worms battled the Iceworm Queen and her Ice Army for hundreds of years. One day, Sabaku no ō sent in Rock Golems to the MurderSnow along with his forces. Their brute force killed many ice worms that day. Sabaku no ō died soon after from disease, but the Ice Queen was still afraid. She took her minions into the Ice Tunnels, where they stayed forever.

The ghoul of the swamp
The ghoul of the swamp was a horrifying humanoid creature that lurked the swamps of the island, hunting the deadliest creatures. Many brave survivors had ventured into the swamps to battle, but all they find are the mutilated and decaying corpses of the ghoul’s kills, then they themselves are added to that collection. Then one day, a brave hunter from the redwoods, named John (yes he is the John from my stories, who died painfully, and then got reincarnated, and blown to a billion pieces by his own grenade. Rip John) came to the swamp, and avoided the ghoul’s traps, only to come to it’s hut, and come face to face with a pile of human corpses, many missing arms, legs and other body parts. He was ambushed by the ghoul, and after a long and hard fight, chopped off its arms and poured titanoboa venom down its throat, and then chopping off its head just before it died.
John then mounted the Ghoul’s head in his hut, which was abandoned after John’s death, and then destroyed in The Judgement of The Island.

Goliath on Extinction
On Extinction, Goliath was faced with more threats then ever. He made his home in the ruins of a building in the sanctuary and hunted its many creatures, including the defence units and enforcers. He used their tek parts to create his own partial armour. He then ventured out into the wasteland, battling hordes of corrupted creatures as he travelled to the desert dome. Once there, he battled the many creatures there before facing the Desert Titan. The battle was hard. He used a giant chunk of building from the sanctuary to knock the Titan to the ground (after many attempts) and then constantly bludgeon it to the point of near death. He then tore off its bottom jaw, punched into its skull and ripped out its brain.
The victorious Goliath then journeyed to the snow dome to battle the Ice Titan. He fought through the many managarmrs and mammoths before finally facing it. The two wrestled ferociously for hours, until Goliath pushed him to the ground and used his club to stun the Titan. He tore off one of its horns and used it to slice open the Ice Titan and punch into its heart.
Goliath then travelled to the Sunken Forest and battled its many creatures, before facing the Forest Titan. Unfortunately for the Titan, Goliath was much bigger and stronger, allowing him to overpower it and tear it apart, completely destroying it.
While out in the wasteland, Goliath encountered a player, his mek and his many tames. Goliath battled through the players army of tames before facing the mek. Goliath quickly tore off its arms and punched into the cockpit, killing the pilot. He stripped the mek of its tek and used it to create his own tek armour. He then tore out the insides of the players tames and splattered the blood over his armour, before facing the king Titan. After a long and epic battle, Goliath brutally ripped open the King Titan, destroying the corruption and saving the world and everything else. Goliath was a god, and he was happy about that.

The Great Albino
This is actually canon, check the Leedschithys (I think that’s how you spell it) dossier.
The great albino was a Leedschithys that was very big and five times more deadly when it attacked rafts than a normal Leedschithys. It was pale white in appearance. Many hunters try to hunt this creature, and it drives many hunters mad because of its elusive nature. It is incredibly hard to find and incredibly powerful. Those that have survived an attack, often become traumatized and don’t dare venture into the water again.
-Red Dragon
Bloodlust
Bloodlust lives deep in the caves of the island, occasionally coming out to hunt. Bloodlust resembles a nameless crossed with an onyc that can’t fligh. It is the mightiest predator of the islands caves, Bloodlust thought he was the strongest creature on the island until one hunt out in the redwoods lead to a brutal battle which he quickly lost. Bloodlust retreated back into the caves, the left side of his face ripped off. The creature he battled was none other than Goliath. He swore to get revenge one day, he continued his life, hunting and battling many creatures until he felt strong enough to face Goliath, at this point he has grown to twice the size he was before. As he headed to the Redwoods he spotted something in the distance, the Red Legion preparing its ranks to take over the island. Soon, Bloodlust made it to the redwoods and met his old enemy...

ARK Myths: Venenum Tenebris- By Swamp Guy
(Venenum Tenebris approximately means Dark Poison in Latin)
Venenum Tenebris was a massive Megalania who waited in the depths of aberration for prey to come. Once, a giga wandered there from some unseen place. The skeleton of that unfortunate giga still lies in the Grave of the Lost.
The venom of Venenum Tenebris was strong enough to melt element. Every day, he would bathe in the molten element. His hide was so thick, not even a tek bomb could break it.
One day, Venenum Tenebris was searching for his prey when he came upon a survivor with an army of Basilisks. The fearsome snakes slayed the Megalania minions of VT. The survivor then sent them on Venenum Tenebris. The giant beast’s hide was finally penetrated, and when it was knocked into the element, a hole was carved through it, killing it.
The minions of Venenum Tenebris fled Aberration, never to return. They hid on the ceilings of the other ARK’s caverns, killing any survivor who crossed their path.
Swamp Guy- Yep, I’m writing myths now. Yep, I found an English-Latin converter on google.
Máng Nù
[For free use but you must stay true to the character. Máng Nù are mindless creatures and attack whatever isn't one of them. I will allow the killing off of a few, but not all ~CL1]
Discovered by explorer Mei-Yin Li, Máng Nù is a swarm of an ancient species of Onyc, usually identified by its pale skin and lack of eyes. Because of this, Li named the monstrosity "Máng Nù," meaning "Blind Fury." Their adept noses can bypass bug repellent and their fangs can easily pierce through armour. However, Máng Nù always go for the biggest meal, bones and all. Many humans have survived their attacks by having one of their larger tames with them. All reports claim Máng Nù can consume creatures up to the size of an Allo in under 7 seconds, depending on how many Onycs there are. Many attaempts have been made to find a weakness for these monsters, but their ferocity and speed makes them almost invunerable... almost.
