It was any ordinary day, raptor taming. My rifle was held was held up, tranqs darts loaded, aiming directly at a vein in the neck, knocking it out the fastest. I inched closer, then.. SNAP! I cursed myself, ah shit. The raptor turned and disappeared into the bushes. I frantically looked around, only to see it’s curious glowing eyes through the bush, I lowered my gun, reaching out to stroke the majestic dark blue and midnight black creature. I raised my gun and shot his neck, he fell over and sighed. The lvl 145 base raptor now lvl 243 is a beast. He lead a pack of 6 raptors high lvls has killed 3 bosses with his pack, including a giga and is incredible. His name is Rockstar, his unique way of not attacking me when I found him told me he was the one, He politely stood still when I tranqed him, Rockstar is now my forever retired pet. He will never be in harm’s way.

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

The ravenous hunger chapter 3

Claw eventually awoke to the human sitting on a log with a campfire nearby claw was confused for a moment before remembering the human had saved the raptor pack from the pulmoscopius why had he saved them and was not afraid of the raptors but then claw thought he would probably kill them if they fought the human as he had a gun maybe he wanted something claw fell asleep again and darkness passed across his eyes

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...... :'((

PLASTIC BAG: THE STORY OF HOW IT ALL BEGAN

Chapter two

( next chapter on rock drake, last chapter on dilo.)

After relaxing for a bit with my new pets, I ventured out to find more Dinos and some water. I noticed I was very thirsty. I took out my hatchet and walked through the woods carefully, with my tames following me. I walked in a blissful silence for a bit, then I heard a strange buzzing. “ huh?…” I shrugged and carried on. Then a bit later the buzzing came again, but stronger. I heard a painful ear piercing shriek ( or a chorus of shrieks) and looked behind me.

All of my tames were dead. Their limp little bodies… just lying on the forest floor. I felt so sad, so I walked over and knelt by them and said goodbye, even though I hadn’t known them for long. Then I heard it again. But even closer. I whipped around to see a swarm of huge angry bugs charging directly at me. And I hightailed it outta there. But with my short legs and low stamina, they caught up quickly. They swarmed around me, biting and spraying and stinging me. I flailed around, trying to shoo them away.

From the dinosaurs’ point of view I looked like an idiot waving my arms in the air and screaming. My health was getting low, and I kept on running, but nothing would stop them. I fell over, and the swarm engulfed my body. I was covered in acid, stings, bites, and scratches.

I slowly faded away, listening to the buzz of the bugs fading as well.

Then I had realized I had died.

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

The ARK Chronicles

Chapter 4: Raptor Attack!

A tall, blood-red Raptor stood menacingly in front of Selena and her Dodo. It stared at them, as if saying, “You’re on my turf now.” Selena bolted in the other direction, carrying her screeching Dodo. The Raptor was amazingly fast though, and caught up to her in seconds. It opened its mouth dangerously close to Selena’s arm, chirped, and crunched down into her flesh. Selena screamed. Blood poured down her arm as she tried to shake the Raptor off. The Dodo became angry, and squawked at the Raptor, flapping its wings. It chomped down on the Raptor’s arm, and the Raptor backed off wearily, scowling at Selena and her pet. Selena set her Dodo down and looked around. She spotted something beautiful galloping through the trees. Its hooves bashed the water, sending the salty ocean into a glistening frenzy. It was…

NEVER try and tame these guys in packed, they'll slime you and leave nothing left unless you have a dino like a sarco or anything else, I speak from experience ;(
