Stories Tips
What are some stories about the glowbug? Memorable glowbug stories, wild encounters, and fan fiction.
Furball
The furball is a tiny descendant of the pegomastax that lives on the twilight ARK,
As the name suggests, it resembles nothing more than a small ball of downy feathers with a pair of big eyes.
They are intelligent and live in colonies inside trees, although they appear helpless,
Furballs have some tricks that can turn the tables on predators foolish enough to attack a furball den tree;
Although it exhausts them, they can release a devastating EMP pulse around them that can temporarily paralyse and knock back predators.
Hidden under their down is a very sharp little beak that can slice through weak metals and dismantle a small tree in minutes,
And in swarms they may well reduce a predator to a pile of mincemeat before it can even react,
The one thing that they fear is the terrifying spikers that prowl the skies above.

The Sound
Deep in the aberration, down by the element rivers, only the brave would go to there. When rock drakes came down there, they would hear a spooky sound, and then mysteriously disappear. It is unknown what would take the creatures or what is making the sound. Only very few survived this, and here’s what they said.
“It sounded like something from a horror movie... when I heard it I couldn’t see anything. I just ran, scared and hoping to survive.”
“When I was down there exploring, I heard music that I like. I went to go explore further until I heard the sound. It was scary, and I could feel something underneath the ground following me.”
Only the human who jumped into the element rivers knows what it is! Too bad he isn’t friendly though.

I will allow anybody to use this, but this creature cannot be seen or killed. It can get damaged a bit, but that’s all.
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.

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)

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.

(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)
Oh you know what, ignore what I said about keeping the amount of stories I write at the same time at a limit of two. I’m going to start a new story in Yuty.
The story will be called Fallen World and will be about an ark that malfunctions and collides with an unknown planet, fusing with its crust. The creatures on the ark then venture out and enter a stage of rapid evolution to adapt to the planet. The main characters will be dinosaurs for a change, here are their names:
Ember claw (orange yutyrannus, leader of the group, main character)
Shadow Walker (pure black therezinosaur, very mysterious past with a dark twist, very good at lying and keeping secrets)
Slime back (green diplocaulus, cleverest member of the group, really scared about getting eaten by carnivores, never fully trusts Ember Claw)
Pearl scale (pure white iguanodon, stupidly poked a glowing green crystal when she was a baby and now has strange powers)
Gizmo (cute little swampling*, literally follows Ember Claw everywhere after he saved her from a hungry Swamp Badger*, but always finds a hiding place at the slightest sign of danger)
* A lot of species went into a state of hyper evolution. The jerboa evolved into the Swampling, and the purlovia into the Swamp Badger. Not all species did do it though, the main reason there are still yutys and theris.

The second genesis ship
The second genesis ship was a different starship to the famous genesis ship, home of such creatures as the shadowmane, noglin and maewing.
The second genesis ship had four biomes;
Desavannah, a place mimicking scorched earth, and home of the same kinds of creature, from insignificant little jerboas to the mighty wyvern.
The refrigerator, an incredibly cold region populated by Pleistocene fauna and non-augmented managarmrs that had escaped the great element corruption.
the jungle: where most of the more common and well known ARK inhabitants lived,
And the caves, an Abberation like cavern system home to drakes, and with an underwater portion for aquatic life.
Eventually this ship autonavigated it's way to a new planet called MW-LSS2-4, just right for life but mainly lacking it, the creatures and humans on the ship spilled out and migrated all over the world,
Some strange things happened when they established an existence on the world;
A certain stock of achatina developed a prodigious size, carnivorous diet, and many tentacles with needles on the tips to catch prey, as well as sprouting ten all-seeing eyeballs mounted on the ends of lengthy stalks and burying themselves under the ground.
And some wyverns came into contact with the planet's only life;
Vivite, a type of sentient colony microorganisms that collected together into colourful crystals,
The vivite quickly established a symbiosis, fusing itself into the wyvern's craniums and giving any vivite infused wyvern the ability to control a mindless caste that would turn itself into a controller wyvern if it's past controller died.
The Draconis genus slowly developed sapience
And the Vivite infused wyverns became a hive mind species, with a monarch with immense size and controlling powers.

(sorry that was a bit long, I can't quite pack all the information harvested from my all of one week long establishment of Dracoverse lore)
Seeing as this is like APP's myths in that it's unique to my particular story universe, unless there's some unlikely crossover It cannot be used for anything
and yes I write myths now.
Aguiöl Magnificens
A group of Argentavis magnificens were once trusted, and viewed as gods, consisting of a misty white trio. They had protected the tribe for so long with their hooked talons and sharp beaks, along with the abnormal ability of passing through walls. The tribe once suggested fighting the Overseer, and the lead Aguiöl, known as Huanhugiga, flared up at the idea. The three Aguiöls destroyed the tribe with a pure anger, one that was never seen before. Some survivors believe it was the overseer in disguise, some believe they were working for it. Some believe it was the King Titan himself, but mostly they dismissed this idea. The survivors who had seen them now experience paranormal activities, such as cryptids like the Shadow Survivors, or the Desert Dome Dogman. Some say they get visited by the Aguiöl occasionally, but there is no proof for this. All we know for sure is that the Aguiöl Magnificens are out there, waiting for the next foolish tribe to fall into their talons.

Sundew Den and The Keepers
[For free use. I will allow the killing off of a few of the Keepers, but not all of them ~CL1]
A small, uncharted forest, Sundew Den is filled with only carnivorous plants. While most are only large enough to catch insects, some have overgrown to sizes that allow them to eat creatures up to the size of a raptor, humans included. Deep in the heart of the den is a mass of these oversized plants tangled into each other; they seemingly make up one aggresive plant with many mouths, often called, "The Den's Keepers" or simply "The Keepers." Few survivors have even seen this forest, and even fewer have escaped the Keepers. Those who have found they were unable to find it again.
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...

Goliath on Aberration
When Goliath ascended off Scorched Earth he ended up on Aberration, and things got weird...
Goliath was certainly shocked by the caves that surrounded him, life became lots harder for him and he had to adapt. Prey was very easy to get in Aberration, everything from raptors and ravagers to diplos and paraceras was a meal. He ventured across the fertile region, wrestling with carnos and spinos and dismembering the powerful Karkinos, before throwing their remains into the lake. He soon travelled to the bioluminescent region to continue his voyage. The boas and arthros were easy kills, but the megalosaurus and Karkinos were more of a challenge. He tore through packs of deadly nameless and swarms of seekers and even battled the mighty reapers as he journeyed to the element region. Now armed with a huge club built out of redwood wood and armour built out of the bones and scales of the mightiest creatures he had ever faced (including a reaper skull helmet), he faced Rockwell. The battle was long and hard, but eventually, Goliath decapitated Rockwell with one mighty swing from his club and ascended. Little did he know that he was now going to earth to face the Titans...

Choking Silence
[Free to use]
The Choking Silence is a deadly black mist, devouring all of the redwoods and mountains. A tribe of survivors once tried to escape it, but failed horribly and suffocated. Many many deaths trailed behind the cloud of dark, and once it moved its way to Extinction, things got a whole lot worse..
-Seaturtle, sorry I was busy spamming DTG about spamming in the discord and complaining about my stories and not respecting it so I warned him and knocked down his rank while waiting for the ban button. The myth is a bit short because I don't have time at ALL right now so bye I guess
The leviathan
The leviathan was a feared creature of the sea. There were only three leviathans in total while they were alive, but they mysteriously disappeared. They were the apex predator of the sea. They could take on an army of basilosaurus and squids. The three of them each had different abilities. The Roar, the weakest of the leviathans used terrifying roars to scare away creatures it didn’t want to fight. When it was hunting for food it would use either a distracting type of roar to get close and eat it, or a truly terrifying roar that could stun its prey for minutes, hours, or maybe even a month depending on what creature it is. The second strongest, the Mesmer (and no, that’s not a Subnautica reference.) would distract prey by switching its color in a mesmerizing way to get closer and eat it. The final and strongest leviathan, the dragon could speed through the ocean. It could create whirlpools to trap it’s prey. And also this one glows too. It is unknown what actually happened to the leviathans, but some theorize that they all fought each other and the remaining leviathan died because of how damaged it was. Another theory was that is tried to go on land. (Anyone can use this, I don’t care what happens to the leviathans.)

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 Acidosaur
The acidosaur is a species of small, dilo like creatures created for Project: Domination. They are similar in build to a ferociraptor, but much smaller, lighter and weaker, they can be quickly dispatched with a blood blade or mega bow. Acidosaurs use dilo DNA infused with BIO-X, creating acid spitting little creatures that are nothing but a real pain in the neck. Their role in Project: Domination is a mystery.
