I am hyped for this thing. Hopefully Valguero doesn’t get delayed.

When I found it it was hunting a elder claw with a carno and carchas didn't attack it was Carnos were around it alot

It got delayed again to October 7 hope this helps too others wondering where it is

Fanmade dossier from the guy that made the taming idea

Again, this is Fanmade, i just wanted to do something for fun since this won’t be added.

Species

Megaraptor zykquaii

Time

Late Cretaceous

Diet

Carnivore

Temperament

Nocturnally Aggresive

Wild

An intelligent hunter, megaraptor zykquaii are noticeably devious, even more then the likes of the swift Utahraptor prime. Individuals have been seen stalking people and dinosaurs alike. They seem to have the knowledge to decide if a fight is worth it, and will even back away before one even starts. Should a victim stick around for long periods of time, and it might reappear at night, much aware the moon empowers its strength. Noticeably, individuals of this species have been seen interacting with packs of the lands other native, Deinonychus magna pede, and the two even seem smart enough to form symbiotic relationships. Should this happen, a megaraptor will fiercely protect a packs eggs. In return, the pack of deinonychus will assist in hunts, which allows the two to engage in combat against larger enemies. Should one encounter this trickster, it is advised to loose it in the trees, rather then lead it to your tribe. Who knows what could happen if it learns about the location of a few unwell survivors?

Tamed

Taming one is no easy task. Should one go after a megaraptor, the survivor should be aware of its intelligence. Individuals have been seen to pretend run away, only to turn back and snatch unaware survivors straight into its jaw. If you do manage to finish this task, one might find the abilities of megaraptor zykqualli useful. Besides being a strong combat mount, one should also use its intelligence. Trained individuals are smart enough to sometimes lure creatures and enemy survivors in traps alike, slowly moving as if it was injured until the enemy is in a bad position. One should also take advantage of its strength at night, becoming a powerful foe being strong enough even rival the power of a pack of Allosaurus. A tribe able to take advantage of both of these factors will have a powerful, all rounded hunter should you be able to meet its random and tricky nature while domesticated.

For the person who asked why don't they just call it Utahraptor. The Ark Raptor is actually the Utah raptor. I do tips to help people so hopefully this one helps

To the person who said Another dromaeosaur… No, wrong, incorrect, Utahraptor is a dromaeosaur, this is a megaraptorid, it says raptor, but it isnt a dromaeosaur, megaraptor, 9m long megaraptorid,

Its called a megaraptor as the original bone found for it was from its claws but scientists thought it was a toe claw from a dromaeosaur(correct me if im wrong on that) but later found it to be another dinosaur itself(again, correct me if im wrong)

It seams to me a lot like a indoraptor

IDK why, but I have a feeling to tame this, it’s probably be like taming a troodon, gigantoraptor, or maybe you’ll have to steal it’s eggs like wyvern and deinonychus

Is lost colony out yet I haven’t played ark for a month

One of my favorite tames. SEE THIS WILDCARD. This is called a fun Dino to play with. See! You learned something today ☺️

Imagine if this thing could mimic roars and voices that be so cool. Think of urself just chilling in ur base at night and u hear "Help me..." and then this thing just busts in and murks u

Fun fact: despite it's name it's not a raptor, it's closely related with allosaurs

We still need lythronayx, utharaptor, and apatosaurus….

I already tamed 4 of theses they are pretty scary but yea

A vampiric bite would be cool like regen health by doing damage.

Anyone else think these are oversized deinonychus?

This would be awesome if it had stealth that worked in pvp and could be used in sneaky raids.

Hope they make it stalk the player before attacking , I’d love for this thing to be the ark version of Gargen’s cave dweller minecraft mod

It’s finally here!!!!! But ARK won’t let me play any of the arks 😭

I can't wait until it comes out it looks fun to ride around on and to see it's abilities
