These things are quite annoying. Back when I had just first started playing Ark, I lost my very first Dilophosaur (a fairly low-level female I had named Dixie) to these little devilfish. I had no idea about them and me and Dixie were walking along the shore, trying to get back to the base right after I'd tamed her. She never made it home, unfortunately. Now I murder these things with pure hatred and use their meat to tame and feed other carnivores.

Loki slowly knelt down, a blood-stained pike rested in the palm of both of his hands. An unmarked gravestone rested in the snow, and the wind blew ferociously upon him as he gently laid the pike onto the ground.

“I won’t let you down, Mr. Ma,” Loki muttered to himself. His hands began to shake as he moved them away, and he moved them up to rub his eyes. He got up from his knees, the crunch of snow approaching from behind.

“Who’s there?” Loki asked quietly. The crunch stopped.

“Dr. Aston,” a shaky voice replied, “It’s Chloe. She’s awake.”

Loki turned around, his eyes sparkling.

“Where?”

The crunch of snow filled the air again, and a muscular woman quickly ran to the two of them. He looked back in order and she had a bright smile across her face.

“Chloe!”

“Loki!”

The two rushed at each other and embraced in a hug.

“You’re okay,” Loki said with a smile.

“Yeah of course I am,” Chloe replied, “You saved me.”

Chloe looked past Loki and at the grave. Her smile instantly transformed into a frown.

“Loki… I’m sorry.”

Loki looked back at the grave. The snow continued to hail down on the gravesite, covering the pike up.

“It’s okay, I think,” Loki replied. He felt tears burst from his eyes, “I just didn’t want it to go that way-”

Loki began to sob again, and Chloe hugged him again.

“Come on, Loki, there’s no time for that. We need to be strong for a moment. Then, we can cry, okay? There are people here that need to be put in tip-top shape, and ready to serve this settlement for its greater good,” Chloe told Loki.

“Chloe is right,” Dr. Aston replied, looking uncomfortably at Mr. Ma’s grave, “We have work to do.”

Loki quickly wiped the tears away from his eyes and nodded in affirmation.

“You’re right. This place will collapse without Mr. Ma, we need to take charge. And there are people we need to take care of. Fast.”

Chloe raised her eyebrow.

“What do you mean by that Loki?”

Loki’s eyes wandered off into the beyond. Somewhere out there, there was a cabin that held two dangerous Knowers who could threaten the settlement as they knew it with their knowledge and power.

“Down south there are two guys who were taming a Rex. They already knew how to, and they’re too close. They need to be killed.”

Chloe looked horrified.

“Killed? But what if they’re not a threat?”

Loki shut his eyes tight and shook his head fast.

“No chance. They’ll grow too strong and we can’t take that risk. They need to be handled.”

“And how are we going to deal with this… threat?” Dr. Aston asked as he picked at his fingernail.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The ground began to shake, and Dr. Aston’s safety goggles fell off. A primal roar echoed from Crusher the Rex, and all three turned around to see a large beast twice as large as their Tyrannosaurus running toward the settlement. It had spines running down its back and large powerful bipedal legs that were as tall as the complex. Its teeth were as razor sharp as the sharks that swam in the oceans. Screams began to ring throughout the camp, and Loki squinted his eyes to see a rider atop.

“Ah shi-” Chloe almost said. Dr. Aston slapped his hand across her mouth.

“Language,” Dr. Aston warned him, “Just because you are no longer my student does not warrant you to run that foul speech around me.”

Chloe rolled her eyes, and the beast made its way to the perimeter of the settlement before quickly screeching to a halt. Chloe gasped as she spotted the rider atop the beast.

“Jerry,” Chloe muttered with gritted teeth.

“Jerry? Who’s that?” Loki asked.

“Oh just a bit of trouble on the football team. Used to be the team captain, but he always tried picking fights with anyone of any shape and size. Including me,” Chloe explained, “He tried to land a punch on me once, but-”

The rider spotted the three and gave a big grin, revealing a shiny, golden tooth that reflected the sun’s beams of light into Loki’s eyes. Loki quickly shielded his face.

“I won the fight.”

“YOU HAVE QUITE THE SETTLEMENT GOING ON HERE!” Jerry screamed aloud. Loki put his fingers to his lips to whistle for Crusher, but Dr. Aston quickly stopped him.

“Hold on. Don’t do anything yet. Let’s see why he’s here,” Dr. Aston decided. Jerry tugged on the reins of the saddle, and the giant beast stepped over the buildings slowly and cautiously, making his way over to the trio.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The three quickly stepped back, but there was no point in running. The beast lowered its head to sniff the three, and Jerry let out a boisterous laugh as he pointed his finger at the three.

“Chloe, it’s so good to see you again!” Jerry said in a mocking tone.

“Don’t count on reciprocation,” Chloe snapped back.

Jerry’s implant began to glow, and his eyes began to glow a bright red, “So. What’s stopping me from ordering this Carcharodontosaurus from just eating you all in one gulp? Or what’s stopping me from making your blood spill right from your guts?”

Chloe pointed her fist at Jerry, and sharp claws protruded out of her knuckles. Poison dripped from the ends of each claw onto the soft snow.

“I’ll shoot my claws out, so we’ll both end up dying if you try.”

Jerry let out another holler, and the Carcharodontosaurus began to let out a laugh too. After a few seconds, Jerry regained his composure, and tugged on the reins of the Carcharodontosaurus.

“Down, Romeo.”

The Carcharodontosaurus quickly collapsed to its bottom, laying its entire body down on the soft snow. Jerry got up from the saddle and walked along the back of the beast, his hands in his pockets. He had dead frizzy hair that seemed ready to fall out at any moment, and a gold necklace with a cross around his neck. He was shirtless in this weather, but wore gray cloth pants.

“You still have that fight left in you,” Jerry realized with joy in his eyes, “Good. But what about these other two?”

Jerry hopped off his beast and walked up to Dr. Aston, circling him and looking him in his eyes.

“And how about you, old man? Your brittle bones gonna stop you from putting up a fight?”

Dr. Aston sneered at Jerry, clenching his fists tight.

“Just because I’m old doesn’t mean I won’t fight back,” Dr. Aston replied. Jerry let out another giggle, it almost sounded like a little girl who was playing with her toys. His eyes darted to Loki.

“And what about you?”

Loki tensed up, and Jerry let out a sly smile. He looked past Loki’s shoulder and at the grave.

“Whose grave is that?” Jerry asked. Loki didn’t respond.

“Answer me boy!”

Jerry’s eyes began to glow brighter, and Loki’s heart raced. He could feel himself growing dizzier. Was this Jerry’s attribute?

“Mr. Mo’s!” Loki finally responded, “It’s Mr. Mo’s.”

Jerry let out a snort.

“The pitiful principal. I wouldn’t be surprised. That coward does not know the nature of this world. He doesn’t know anything!”

Jerry gave a ghastly grin and said,

“He deserved to die, if I’m going to be honest.”

Loki clenched his fists and instantly swung at Jerry. As his fist connected to Jerry’s cheek, he was sent stumbling to the side. Jerry let out a groan as he clenched his cheek, and a blue flame flickered in Loki’s eyes. Loki clenched his other fist and a blue glow began to emanate from Jerry. Loki lifted Jerry up into the air, gritting his teeth and seething at the man.

“You will NOT say that about Mr. Ma! He didn’t deserve to die!” Loki said. Jerry looked back at Loki and let out another laugh.

“You’re not so bad after all, huh?” Jerry cackled. He took his hands out of his pockets and shrugged. He had many gold rings on his fingers.

“Perhaps I underestimated the principal’s PET.”

Loki slammed Jerry into the wall of a nearby building, and Jerry let out a gasp of air as his head rattled back and forth. Loki began to clench his fist as tight as he could, and suddenly Jerry’s neck began to contract. He began to cough and choke, grasping at his throat as he struggled to breathe. The red from his eyes began to flicker away, and the Carcharodontosaurus looked at Jerry without reaction.

“SHUT. UP.”

“O-Okay, YOU GOT ME!” Jerry struggled out his words, “I YIELD.”

The blue fire flickered away, and the blue aura around Jerry disappeared. Jerry dropped to the ground, and the Carcharodontosaurus stared at Loki with a smile. Jerry got up from the ground, the smile faded from his face. He gave another smile, putting his hands back in his pockets.

“You’re strong,” Jerry told Loki.

“I know.”

Jerry walked up to Loki, and Loki stared him down.

“I respect that fighting spirit, Loki,” Jerry said while licking his lips, “You aren’t afraid to get ya’ hands dirty. So, how about this… I’ll handle whatever hit you want me to handle. Free of charge.”

Loki looked at Chloe, and she shrugged. Loki turned back to Jerry.

“And how will I know that you will get this job done?”

Jerry held his left hand out. A red glow began to emanate from his implant.

“A blood pact. If I fail to finish the task and return in… say, three day’s time, I’ll have my heart compromised. It’ll put me in pain for a very long time, and I won’t survive for long. You won’t suffer any consequences. The only thing I ask you to do, is to let me do whatever I want around here.”

Loki grabbed onto Jerry’s hand.

“You can do whatever you want, but if I tell you to do something you’ll listen.”

Jerry grinned maniacally.

“That’s right. So do we have a deal?”

“Yes,” Loki said as he shook his hand. Loki’s implant began to glow, and then both implants stopped glowing. Jerry put his hands back in his pockets and hopped back on his Carcharodontosaurus.

“So what’s the first thing you want me to do?” Jerry asked.

Loki briefly explained about the Knowers down south, and Jerry smiled.

“They’ve got a T-Rex huh? Perfect. That’ll be a tasty snack for Romeo.”

Jerry tugged on the reins of Romeo again, and Romeo began to walk off.

“You have my word that I’ll finish the job!”

As the Carcharodontosaurus disappeared into the fog, Loki turned to Chloe and Dr. Aston.

“That’s one thing down,” Loki said, “Now we need to move to Step 2.”

“It’s time we collect our next artifact.”

I was trying to cross a river and this thing came and killed me!

So these things when I first started annoyed the heck out of me. Every time me or a tame put a TOE in the water the piranhas would drag me or the tame into the water and eat the body. One day I saw a mutated lvl 3 bronco and I decided "I can tame this." It fell in the water but for some reason the piranhas couldn't kill it. After like an hour of taming, it stood up, swung its tail once, and now there arnet any piranhas inside the river, and there hasn't been since.

So I tamed female parasauralaphus and was taming a male one to mate but then I hit a trike by accident and ran into water these things killed me. This happens way too often

these little terrors love to pick on my newly tamed giga lvl10 when it is on passive killing it while i was afk smelting metal

Yesterday or today(I can’t remember which) I lost my moschops named Jeremy to these. Rip Jeremy.

I swear I will end them I lost my carbonemys and monkes to these mf

I HATE THIS GUY It Made My rex almost die

About 50 killed my Bronto how did that happen

So I tamed a rex on Ragnarok and wanted to through that spino area thingy, however it swan after me (I was on my pteranodon) and those little f#ckers killed my lvl 149 Rex :(

KILL PIRANHAS

Ok I had a perfect house by a perfect lagoon with perfect pets. I wanted a ptaradactle (ima call it flappy Dino cus it’s easier) I was walking around the lagoon gathering when I saw the most beautiful unique flappy dino. I had no fish though so I dived in my, thought to be, piranha free lagoon and guess what. I got eaten by a piranha and lost my place and my stuff 😑 kill the piranhas!!!!!!!

So I was trying to kill a thersil or whatever they’re called, I started running from it and got killed in the water, I come back for revenge on my parry with my carbo and pachy, I kill the thing and like 15 piranhas come and kill my carbo and pachy!!! RIP carbs, pachy, and rapty 2020-2020 may you forever be in our hearts.
