I was chilling in my hidden lake base around level 37. I had just moved from herb island and only had my level 11 raptor. I was setting up behemoth gates in the walkways into the area. Suddenly I was attacked by a level 20 carno. My raptor was with me and I watched in horror as my raptor charged it with about 224 health. I had become attached to this raptor and didn’t want it to die so I hopped onto my raptor. I tried to run but my injured raptor was too slow. At this moment a wild raptor pounced on me and knocked me off my raptor. My raptor went back to fighting the carno while I freed myself from the wild raptor. Once the wild raptor was dead I spun to help my raptor. Just to see the carno lying dead on the ground. My jaw dropped as I checked my raptor and saw it’s health was 1! 1! That raptor has stayed with me for my whole journey and I have used it to breed an army of carno killer babies.

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

I was playing on the island and died because i got jumped by a raptor, I ran back to where I died and it was dead no blood no injuries a few feet away from my dead body and it only took me about 30 seconds to get back so the injuries couldn’t have disappeared

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

I had once a blue red/brown Raptor named Sada. She was the second Raptor I tamed, I lost the first one to a Trike. Anyways, I was in the south Area of the Island with Sada and we were killing a lot of smaller Dinos to get Hide so I could craft a Saddle for her. We went into a Forest and suddenly, I got the "dangerous Area" message. I looked around, if there was anything dangerous and saw another Raptor. I thought that maybe I can tame this one, and KOed it. I turned around and saw Sada fighting with two other Raptors and tried to help her. One of the Raptors then attacked me and pinned me down, and Sada killed the other one. Then, she ran over to me and attacked the raptor. I had low health, so I ran away from there to heal myself. After I healed myself, I returned to Sada, but she was killed by the wild raptor. I finished what Sada started and tamed the remaining one, and named him Turo.

RIP Sada. She was the best Raptor I ever had.

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...... :'((
