For all those who are terrorized by alpha raptors;

I had an alpha roaming around my house and was scared to death of it. It blocked me off from most of the island (I live on a cliff by the south beach) and had killed me many times before so I let it alone for a while. But then it got WAY to close to my house and my tames, and I didn’t trust my spike walls to keep it at bay, so I decided enough was enough. I got in my raft and paddled a good ways out before shooting it with my long neck rifle. It obviously didn’t like that and came out int the water to show me whose boss, but little did it know that I was the boss. I kept my raft moving just a bit in front of it and drew it way far out to sea before leaving it to tire out and drown. I’m not sure of it worked but I haven’t seen it since.

So once I was going to tame a raptor with my dodo, (Rexy) and I was not expecting a WHOLE PACK OF RAPTORS to come and attack me, I took my axe and started to attack them with it, (I was new at the time) I was fighting with my dodo and she died to the alpha, I finally knocked one out. It was a beautiful teal color so I put some meat in it and I soon died to a red one, I named him Charzard and I made a grave for my dodo, 1 like= 1 respect for rexy

When I was a noob my bro tamed me a 100 forest green female. I rode her everywhere and she survived a fool’s errand that resulted in 3 allos attacking my raft. My bro told me to request her and she had 50 health left. I named her Grace for she was a survivor through everything. She was a 150 when I took her into my first cave(the clever). She made it through everything. But as I neared the artifact she was killed by 3 sarcos and two centipedes. I cried so hard for my friend I just let myself die. Since then I’ve never bonded with a creature so. I’ll make a memorial where my bro first tamed her and a garden where I planned my first base (it has a lovely view). Thank you for listening. R.I.P. Grace

Just tamed a level 122 on Dead Island no kibble and only a few narcs on me. Had to fight off a scorpion and a sabertooth to keep from it waking up. As the tame was close to finishing I was attacked from behind by two scorpions and they knock me out. As I'm getting attacked by them and I am sure that I am a goner, the raptor tames, gets the them off of me, and kills both of the scorpions. I wait in horror as my consciousness returns, hoping that I am not going to die to a patrol. I didn't, and I turn around and see a Rex almost close enough to aggro me. I put my raptor on follow ran to my raft, and escaped the island as the Rex was chasing me. I named him Saving Grace on the way back, but as I am passing the swamp, a sarco attacks my raft. It knocks my beloved raptor off, and it was swarmed by the sarco and a group of megapiranha. I try to call it to follow, and it dies almost instantly. I am utterly devastated and heartbroken...... :'((

The beautiful majestic Utah raptor what to say about this honest, sneaky, highly dangerous creature, oh what I have to say are so many things one he enjoys, causing terror as well as jumping you out of nowhere my dude is the literal equivalent of a gang leader with an arc two bro thinks he’s tough until you have a bola As well as some drink arrows and also for some reason, a slingshot, but let’s be honest the slingshot is kind of shit, bro ain’t tough when you have these things on you then to make it a real interesting. You have one of those metal swords. I’ll tell you something I actually had metal armour for the first time and I also had a metal sword with me. I was in venturing to the redwoods because I was looking for a creature. I don’t know who it was, but it was definitely someone of importance because why would I risk going to the redwoods with my level 26 spinosaurus anyway me and my spinal split the reasoning behind this is because a powerful creature with a certain ability to paralyze you with Sarah syrup was up me and his actually my spinosaurus is a girl her but if you know you know, and so, what happened was that I got split, but I had my armour and I had my sword and I got jumped by these multiple raptor, but luckily I killed them all and that is the story of how I got split up from one of my Apex predators like a noob oh by the way me and my spinal got reunited her name is siren

I had a raptor named Blue. I stayed with him all night while he was being tamed. We got home, and he instantly found a new best friend. This was Oval, my oviraptor. I would take them out together, and I swear that they had conversations. They would stand together in my base and just quietly squawk to each other. It was so sweet. So one day I got on my raft with Blue and Oval to collect eggs (Oval to pick up, Blue to ride). Well, it was a success and we got a couple of dodo eggs, a diplo egg, a trike and a carbonemyseus egg. Suddenly I noticed that Oval wasn’t with me. I look back, and I see JELLYFISH just mauling my dear sweet Oval. My Blue, loyal as ever, ran back to save his best friend, but he couldn’t. At least they will spend eternity together. 😭 Rip Blue and Oval

So I have a fun story once I was taming a level 100 raptor and while it was knocked out, I look above its head and there's a little heart, if you know, you know, I was in fear for 2 other minutes. And a raptor jumped me from a Bush, the end

I wanted to tame a raptor for a while but could not find one . When I finally did it was the day we had to put my dog down. I was so sad and when I found a raptor it was black like my dog so I named if after her. Please up for my dog. She lived a good, long life 😪
