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.
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.

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...

The spikers
The spikers are vicious descendants of pteranodons native to the twilight ARK, instead of the peaceful scavengers that were their ancestors, to survive spikers have become horrifying predators, striking terror into all animals below, even the normally fearless furballs.
Spikers have razor-sharp six foot long beaks that they use to quickly impale their prey before it can fight back,
The spikers have no weaknesses,
If a spiker targets you before you can find somewhere to hide, that's it.

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.

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.

Silvermane "The Ghost of the Sky"
[This is for free use, but he is mute, meaning he can't be given speaking roles. Also his death has been set in my story so you cannot kill him off ~CL1]
A silver colored Argent. Know for his incredible speed and unsettling silence, Silvermane was feared by smaller tribes, as he was notorious for stealing any creature he could carry. A few survivors found his body under a large swamp tree. One reported seeing a long shadowy figure in the tree, most likley the cause of Silvermane's death.
