These are Arks thugs .. they don't care what you are doing whether it be minding your business or if your just looking to pet a dodo. They will come and they will kill you and your dodo.. Run as far as possible swim as far .carry a bola on you so you trap your friend and escape . @chief3alpha xbox

If you see a raptor that has an orange glow around its chest, then it means that raptor is... AN ALPHA! ...in its pack which means that it is a high level, probably mate boosted, does more damage, and that there are probably more raptors near you.

Note this when trying to find high level raptors as you wanna target the one with an orange aura near its chest as it has the highest level in the local area.

And to the people who are playing old ark mobile, ignore everything that I said, as this feature only exists for allosauruses on old ark mobile.

Fun fact: alpha creatures can't harvest corpses to heal themselves or be damaged by wild animals, so only tames can kill alphas.

You would think that you could hide near a brontos legs when you are being chased by an alpha raptor or carno, but this is a bad idea since you will automatically take stomping damage once the bronto gets mad at the alpha raptor or carno, and the alpha raptor or carno will continue to chase you since it has no reason to go after the bronto since wild brontos cant damage alphas.

People really are writing tips about running from alpha raptors when you can get killed in 3 bites or less if youre not riding a mount and they can outrun any land creature. That's funny cause any mount thats not smaller than a carno can kill an alpha raptor, including trikes.

Can I kill a level 10 ALPHA raptor? One bronto, 3 parasaurs, 3 carbos, 2 raptors and two baby raptors, 3 ptéranodons, and 2 trikes! Please respond cause he’s getting closer.

Noob :look it’s dilo !

Raptor : huh

Noob : it has legs that could kick the athlete

Raptor : ?

Noob : dilo may I tame you ? *punch*

Raptor : you chose death ?

In a recent PC (and very soon to console) update these little jerks can now pounce on you...and they WILL. Every. Damn. Time. They knock you off mounts and on you to the ground while they gnaw on your bones...mocking you. They’ve knocked me off an argy and therozinos several times. They’re much more deadly now. PS...alpha raptors ALSO do this.

I’m on console and so far I have tamed a carno, baryonx,bronto and a peranadon(I’m a nub) but I have not seen any raptors anywhere! Arrow up if you think I should travel west

Raptors killed my level 29 para named Birdy Bird (dont Ask Why it’s name is birdy bird). I had to abandon Birdy bird! One like for R.I.P Birdy Bird :(

If One is following you and you are not prepaired hide behind a larhe herbivore like a trike. The raptor will accidently hit it and they will fight to the death. Run while the battle is still hapening. Hope this helped. Up for noobs who have never seen a raptor

If you encounter an alpha raptor while riding a weak tame and it attacks you. go swimming under water and get out of its range I saved my raptor (lvl 20) like this.
