Stories Tips
What are some stories about the onyc? Memorable onyc stories, wild encounters, and fan fiction.
So I love being in Creative mode but when I Forcetamed one of these guys it prompted me to give it a saddle and being the dumb guy I was I spent about 25 minutes on the Dododex and Ark Wiki trying to find the saddle ID. I tried the Desmodus, Rex, Quetz, Pteranodon, Tapejara, and Maewing saddle and it didn't work. Maybe Wildcard forgot to delete the programming for the Onyc is rideable type thing. I think the design for these guys is cool but I wish it would just STOP telling me to put a saddle on it.
The Final Feast
Chapter 27 [The End]
Sandman looked around the swamp. It had become strangley calm lately, not nearly as vicious. A figure flittered across the moon, its shadow swimming through the shallow water below. Sandman grinned, "Ssso," it said as it looked down from its tree, "It'sss done then?" Corvi stepped out from under the shade of the trees nearby. "They're gone," she said without inflection. The titanoboa laughed and lowered itself from the tree to the ground, leering over Corvi. "Now you underssstand? I did what I did all those yearsss ago for a reason. Silvermane was fast enough, but he would never believe me." Sandman turned its head and peered at Corvi with its last eye. "So I killed him... to get to you."
"Your brothers were weak, but you were a fire, the fire to purge the Island of the weeds the blind ones were. And now look, I was right wasssn't I?" Corvi glared silently. Sandman laughed, "I wasss. Well then, go on. You didn't just come here to tell me we won. You still want revenge. I had hoped that seeing the true purpose behind my actions would kill your little grudge, but obviousssly I was wrong." Sandman lowered its body to the ground, resting its head in Corvi's feet. "I won't fight," it sighed and grinned. "I've done my job. In the end I still won." Tired of listening to the boa's endless chatter, Corvi snapped a sharp branch from a tree. As she walked back towards the boa, it hissed mockingly, "Congratulationsss. You're a hero." Its laughter was cut off as Corvi stabbed the branch into its head.

Chapter 22
One stood outside the cave. Inside there was a swell of squeaking. The Máng Nù were hungry; they had to be for this to work. She looked behind her. Her strongest tames were all here. The rexes, Mars and Mercury, and Jet the allo, all eager to avenge Venus. The wolves, all ten of them this time, Goon the yutyrannus, and even Makunga the thyla. They were all positioned there as a clean up crew. None of the onycs would be allowed to escape, all of them had to be killed to ensure the island's safety. Red shivered on her shoulders, the bat skin covering all but her face. One looked at Corvi who was ready for her cue. This was it. She stepped into the cave, stopping for a moment to let her eyes adjust to the dark.
As she walked further, the squeaking got louder. It wasn't long before she could see movement on the roof. Glowing rocks and mushrooms lit up the ceiling, revealing their squirming, restless bodies. She stepped closer and immediatly they dropped onto her. She held in a scream as they crawled on the skin draped over her head. Red froze as they sniffed and crawled over her. If they suspected for a moment that they weren't Máng Nù, they would be eaten before they got the chance to run. They were desperate for food. After what seemed like hours, the onycs were satisfied with her disguise. and flew back up to the ceiling. There were a lot here, but the heart of the colony was further back. She took a second to let her heartrate slow a little and walked further back towards the middle of the huddle.

Chapter 2
Corvi jumped back as the boa gobbled up one of her brothers. The remaining hatchlings shrieked for help. Corvi looked up to the sky. Her father had left a while ago to find food. He had to be returning soon. As if on que, a screech filled the air, and in the blink of an eye, a large silver figure dropped down on the serpent. Corvi and her siblings hopped to the edge of the nest and watched their father and the boa struggle on the ground.

Chapter 3
The titanoboa curled around the argent and tried to squeeze him to death. "Sssilvermane the sssky killer... we meet at lassst." Struggling free of the serpent's grasp, the argent sliced at the boa, cutting into its left eye. The snake curled up and took one last strike at Silvermane before slithering away. It turned and look back at the nest, squinting its one remaining eye in furious anger. Silvermane screeched and hopped towards the snake, causing it to back off.
The Final Feast
Chapter 1
Corvi's eyes jolted open as a high shriek peirced the silent night. She turned her head to find the source of the disturbance. Her brothers screeched and she looked to see what had panicked them. She shivered as a large scaly face rose, its eyes peeking over the edge nest. It was a gigantic, purlpe titanoboa. It leaned closer to the nest and turned its head to look at the hatchlings. Corvi stared into the boa's large, hypnotizing eye. "My, my," it said with a hiss. "Don't you all look so... deliciousss." Without warning, it snapped up one of the hatchlings.
The Final Feast
Chapter 25
Dead onycs littered the ground. Mars and Mercury lay bloody and half-eaten. Goon was injured, but alive along with what remained of the wolves. One of Kepoi's legs was broken as a result of being dropped. Loki was missing a large part of his side. The twins were both dead. Naxos' belly had been ripped open, and Sicyon 's back and neck had been broken from a high drop. Leece and Lucca had been eaten, and One could only find half of White Fang. She stood up and looked around. Knidos was unaccounted for. Kepoi whined and walked up to her son. He had been dropped and his legs and back were broken. One left Kepoi to mourn her son as he took his last breath. Jet was still out there somewhere. She jumped on Corvi's back and flew in the direction the allo had run.
They exited the thick forest and came to a large beach. There on the sand lay Jet, surrounded by dead onycs. He refused to die without killing them all. One stepped on to the beach and sat down next to his head. They had won, but it wasn't supposed to be this way. She expected injuries yes, but she never could have imagined it going this badly. After sitting in silence for a little while she stood up and started gathering resources. Corvi watched as she made a plaque. One took her knife and engraved into it: "Jet the Allosaurus - Máng Nù Slayer." She put his saddle on top of it, looked at it for a while and then climbed back on Corvi's back.

Chapter 24
They landed and One turned around to see if the net of jaws had worked. The wolves and reptiles tore through the swarm, but more were coming out, more than One had anticipated. The plan depended on the majority of onycs staying in the cave and killing each other, but it looked like most of them had followed Corvi out of the cave and right into a King-sized feast. One watched in horror as a group of Máng Nù snatched wolves and her thyla from the ground, either tearing into them in midair or dropping them on the ground, breaking their legs. Goon quickly came to their aid, leaving the other reptiles to fight for themselves. The yuty roared and a few of the onycs backed off a little. Corvi dashed into the fray to help them, pulling injured wolves away from danger.
The rexes and Jet were faring much better than the smaller mammals, but as more of the bats left the cave they too were becoming outmatched. Mars fell, and then Mercury, both using the last of their energy to snatch down as many bats as they could. Jet, however, was still standing, dashing from side to side. The confused bats rammed and bit into each other while trying to catch him. The allo disappeared into the forest, leading the majority of the bats away. One turned around to check on the wolves, but instead found a Máng Nù bulleting towards her face. In a flash of black, it was pinned to the ground, screeching and hissing. Corvi stood over it, her talons crushing its head until it stopped squawking. One looked up. The forest had grown strangely quiet.
The Final Feast
Chapter 21
One sat on the beach, facing the ocean and an island in the distance. She held a small knife in her hands, cutting through the skin of the Máng Nù. She cut carefully, making sure to keep the skin intact. As she skinned the onyc, Corvi was above, swooping back and forth, flying from the beach to the island behind it and back again as quickly as possible. She had been doing this for weeks, working on her speed. Corvi had already proven she could outrun the Máng Nù, but while she wouldn't be eaten, she was always injured afterwards. One determined it was critical that Corvi's speed be increased if this plan was going to work.
By night, the skin was finished and Corvi was collapsed on the beach, asleep. One looked at the skin. The onyc had been large enough that she could easily cover herself with it and still have some left over. She cut a peice of it and wrapped it around Red. The otter squeaked in protest, but let One fit the skin on her. One stepped back and looked around. This could actually work, she thought to herself. The sun peaked up over the sea and light began to claw into black night. They would rest for a while, and then it would be time to move.

Chapter 16
One pull out her rifle and fired a shocking tranq dart at the allo's face. It fell to the ground immediatly, already worn down by the bats. She put a peice of meat in its mouth and looked at the damage while it ate. It was a miracle he was still alive. He stood up a few minutes later and looked at One, slightly calmer than he had been. He was a shadow under the trees. "You're nothing but trouble, I can already tell," she muttered as she marked the name: "Jet" into his implant. "Let's go," she said, whistling for allo to follow her. She stepped out from under the cover the trees. Jet froze and looked up at the sky fearfully. He was afraid the bats would come back, and if One was honest, so was she. She whistled again and he stepped out reluctantly. Their return to the beach was uninterrupted. The bats didn't return, most likely well fed by the bronto carcass. She put Jet in the Rex pen. Mars and Mercury looked at him confused. Their daughter Venus however was happy to have a new friend. One walked back to her hut and pulled out her explorer notes. During the attack, something had occured to her.
Máng Nù
The cave was silent. Aside from the squeaky snores of the colony, there was nothing left to make noise. They had cleaned it out all the way to the heart of the cave. With their steady supply of food exterminated, they would have to travel back outside the cave to find more prey, but they had already gotten used to the openess of the outside world. Soon enough, they would find somewhere else outside the cave for the colony to reside, making hunting much faster and easier. Food would be scarce no longer, and larger prey would make every feeding a fulfilling meal. They burned the scent of the brontosaurus into their memory. They had found a new favorite meal.
The Final Feast
Chapter 8
As they flapped over the sleeping allos, Corvi turned to the direction of the beach, entering the skies over the swamp. Something dashed from the trees under her and Corvi dove after it. The human on her back yelped as she tried to keep from flying off of the saddle. The figure darted between the trees. Its dark purple body stood out like a shadow in the sunlit swamp. Corvi dived to pick up more momentum and landed on the shadow causing it to writhe under her grasp. It was a titanoboa, just as she expected.
"I found you," Corvi muttered. She dug her talons into the boa's face. It hissed in pain. "Let me go!" it shreiked. It turned over to reveal an unscarred left eye. It looked shockingly close to the boa she was looking for, but regardless, this wasn't it. She stepped off of the boa's neck and watched as it slithered away frantically. She sighed and began to flap her wings, frustrated. "So clossse," said a raspy voice, echoing through the trees. Corvi twisted her head around to see a large tree. She looked up. There was a shadowy figure stretched between branches like a vine. A gleam came off of one of its eyes. "But it looksss like you got the wrong sssnake." The figure slid down the tree and curled in the sunlight. It lifted its body up, its head towering high, as tall as the tree behind it. It was another boa, dark purple and missing its left eye.
The Final Feast
Chapter 20
The next few weeks for One meant raiding beaver dams. She ignored the wood; it was too heavy and not her main concern. She grabbed cementing paste if she could afford it, but her main goal was much scarcer to come by. She dug through the piles of wood to uncover a pile of rare flowers. Snatching them quickly, she ran past the angry residents of the dam and jumped on Corvi's back. She repeated this process every time she found a dam. When she wasn't raiding, she was researching. She watched the Máng Nù very carefully. When they were hunting, she watched their patterns and how they reacted to certain things.
When they were full, she followed them back to the cave and kept her distance, watching and listening from afar. They had two calls: Danger and Food. Apart from that, they were serene as long as they had food in their stomachs. When she ventured into the cave, she took Red the otter with her. They would sit in silence, the little otter squirming with nervous energy. They would listen to the calls and then when they were outside the cave, One would make Red imitate the calls. After a week or so of practice, Red could mimic them perfectly. With the raids and research complete, there was just one thing left to do.
