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

Claw the Raptor part 5
I found the other raptor killed it with my sword and got more meat to give to my raptor. When my raptor tamed I gave it a saddle and named it green it was a very pretty green. We went home and I introduced everyone Claw was very happy knowing what I was planning he knew this was gonna be his mate and that they would have a baby someday. I took claw away from the others to talk to him "I dont want u to mate yet. I still want to have more adventures with u before that happens." I said "We will still have adventures!" He protested "Yes I know if I didnt I wouldn't have brought her but we will be busy for a bit with kids and it will be different. I didnt think about that before I tamed her." Claw looked at me starting to understand "Oh now I see." Claw said. "I wanna go exploring u can come if u want,Claw." I said I started feeling our friendship changing and I wasn't liking what was happening I was regretting taming this Raptor.

Claw the Raptor part 4
I left claw at base today I wanted to be alone and this was gonna be his surprise. I left alone unsure what might happen I was looking for a female Raptor I killed some boys accidentally tamed a boy Raptor I took him home and named him shiny he was such a shiny green. Claw acted angry but I knew him to well not to know that he was actually very happy I keft again and this time found a female raptor it was taming I was by a cliff. Then as I was waiting and healing a Rpator or somthing attacked! well I didnt have full life and I was by a cliff so... I think u know what happend I was almost dead then I fell off the cliff to my doom. But apparently it wasn't that high and there was a tall diplo so I just fell on the diplo then carefully made my way to the ground. I thought about what to do for a bit go back for the raptor and face the other or stay heal and find another girl raptor. I decided to go I grabbed my sword and ran my raptor was taming.

R.I.P Randy :( he sounds like a very good pet. I hope u find another good friend like Randy I love Raptors. A sarco is a very good pet too but it takes a long time to tame and its kinda slow on land but in water it's really fast and when its energy is empty when it's in water it just refills! U never run out of energy in water!

Claw the Raptor part 3
I put all the gravestones somewhat in the shallowest part of the water me claw and itchy's had a funeral right there. We were all very sad for the loss of all our beloved friends but atleast we survived. At the funeral I sang the song ready aim fire ( I think thats the name I cant remember the whole song) "I never quite thought we could loose it all. Ready aim fire ready aim fire awaaaaaayyyy..." i got my gun and fired aimlessly into the sky. After that we mostly stayed at base for about a week but we got bored. So at the end of that week me and claw went hunting together and we talked one specific thing that we talked about was Raptors "I think we should go tame another Raptor,claw. Mabey a girl." "No claw said I dont want more friends to cry over and protect especially a girl Raptor." He said. That was the end of that idea. Time went by and not much happend basically hunting small fish in the lake hunting lame animals near base and that was about it.

Claw the Raptor part 2
by time we got home it was dark. I went to bed feeling happy, but it didn't last. When I woke there was a bad smell like there was dead bodys everywhere I grabbed my sword and looked at the beach part of my "yard" suspiciously I didnt see anything so I went to the backyard where all my animals usually were there I saw it. Ckaw was fighting a alpha raptor and in a circle around them was the dead body of a spino and all my animals. I ran at the alpha raptor but I didnt need to claw killed it before I got there "so" I thought "a spino and alpha raptor attacked early this morning while I was sleeping and they killed the spino and almost the alpha raptor but died before the alpha raptor died and claw finished it off." I looked at claw he was staring at the bodys of my animals he looked very sad "we will have a funeral soon let me go make the grave stones." I said to claw he looked at me and nodded "ill stay here for a bit." he said.
-Raptor Girl. No more room

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 😪

Today I lost my raptor named reaper he was a good friend he is on SE I’m level 23 or 24 then a pack of low level alpha raptors I killed the pack there were only 2 one other raptor I don’t know if it’s wild or if it’s reaper I hope it’s him I’m going to go there if it is him
Up for reaper
( sorry it’s long)

RIP I tamed a raptor 2 seconds later a Baryonyx stunned it and killed it. 👍 For 1 time to pay respects to my raptor. 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

I had a raptor. I was around lvl 18 and kept dying, so I scouted around ‘till I found a solitary lvl 4 by the red ob. He was beautiful- amber with yellow feathers and curious yellow eyes. I tamed him pretty easily and when he woke up, he became the best companion I’ve had to date. I named him Randy and he was a lifesaver. I had gotten a little carried away in my search for him so the trek home would be long.. I hugged the coastline with Randy always by my side. Countless times I was attacked. compys, dimorps, carbos, other raptors and on several occasions mid-level sarcos! But EVERY single time, Randy pulled through. A level 7 sarco was no match for him. I would’ve died so many times without him.

We were almost home. There was just one stretch of shallow water to cross. I whistled for him to follow, finally relaxing at the prospect of coming back to my base. We paddled through the water together, me on his back. We barely had to swim, it was so shallow, so I assumed it was safe. I was wrong. Two incredibly high-level megapirahna came at us from behind. I urged him forward, jumping off to give him more mobility. I tried to aggro them onto me, but they kept attacking him. I whistled for him to come, but hen I realised he was still on neutral, which had saved me so many times. Frantically, I whistled passive, and then come again. He turned and paddled towards me, the two fish hard on his heels. I urged him on, desperate. He was almost at the shore- no more than 5 steps away. Closer, closer.. he was almost there...

and then. The notification every ARK player dreads. ‘Your Randy was killed by a megapirahna.’ His body fell limp to the floor, his head flopping onto the sand that would have been his safety.

Since then, I have never let a megapirahna live. Nothing will bring him back, but I can avenge him. Every time I see one of those bastards I remember him, and I murder it.


Rest easy Randy, you will never be forgotten.

Taming my first raptor... I was always bait, so my mentor could tranq it. But we both went onto boulders, and we endlessly tranqed it it it passed out. Takes like 15 raw meat. Then when I was offline, my mentor got November, my FIRST raptor killed. He was gathering cementing paste from the dams.

Maloi the Baryonyx.

Claw the Raptor part 1
I was out exploring alone near the cave I had my pike and was looking for things to kill when I saw a raptor running around i was scared unsure what to do I had never seen one before so I grabbed my bat and attacked it fell asleep soon. As it was taming I was thinking "Oh a raptor a lovely raptor I always wanted one!" Then my raptor tamed and we were going home when I was pinned on the ground I screamed no idea what was happening then I saw a raptor on me I screamed again but after I did I saw my new raptor killing this one once ot got off me I got my spear and was about to attack when it fell to the ground dead I carved it put and gave all the meat to my lovely raptor claw he was gonna be great I knew. Part 2 coming soon!

A(kind of) wholesome story
I once hatched a raptor and fully imprinted it. He was green like emerald and was just beautiful. We did together so many cave runs and he always came out without a scratch. We were together all the time and as I progressed through levels, i started to tame a lot better dinos. One day I wanted to tame a rex, but I had too much tames. I didn't know, who else to unclaim, than my raptor. So I did what I had to. I didn't tame the rex. I love my raptor too much! And from that day I stayed with my raptor. We went on walks, i occasionally handfed him, and we even went on hunts! And we still do! I have this raptor for too long to let it go! And i always come back to my old base to thank him for all the good times we had together.

One time I was out in the forest riding my para, I was determined to tame a raptor that day. A bit moseying around later and I finally found a gray, silver like raptor. I was excited like “ Oh my god this is gonna be my first raptor! “ I walked up to it with my bola and it attacked me and I forgot that my para was on neutral. My para started attacking the raptor and I got overwhelmed and it took me a bit to change my para to passive. When I was done with that, the raptor was already dead. -Rip random Raptor in the Forest ( Ps if you are planning to tame one and you see a raptor, remember to put ur Dino on passive before you bola it. )

👏👏 STORY TIME!!!
So one day I was taking my 40 level 10 dodos for a walk and my sis came up to me and said “Why do you have so many dodos?” I was about to answer but I fell of a cliff...
So I went back to get my stuff, at this point your probably like “WhAt DoSe ThIs HaVe To Do WiTh RaPtOrS?” Well when I got my stuff back I turned around and there it was, a majestic raptor flying at my face while I screamed like two year old girl watching a horror movie. Up-v0t3 for more
👏👏STORY TIME!!! On other Dino’s

For your information, you CAN kill a alpha raptor with enough pets. I have 3 trikes, 2 raptors, 1 petra, 1 parasaur, took out a aplha raptor, no deaths. The highest level pet I have is 37. The raptor was at 19.

So I had my new raptor named “Rappy” I go out with him in hunt, when I’m about to lvl up for raptor saddle, I go a quick hunt with Rappy, I saw alpha raptor 3 metres away running towards me, I run away and saw Rappy saved me from Alpha raptor and died. R.I.P Rappy, I’ll neve forget you.

Alpha Raptors are pretty easy to kill in my experience. Logged onto my server with my friend and there was an Alpha roaming around next to our base. We quickly set up spike walls because we didn’t know how the heck to kill one at level 23. There was a regular raptor with her and so I tried to trap the Alpha in a classic raptor trap. Oops; it can break wood. I died, got on my raft with a primitive bow, led it out into the ocean and kept shooting it in the head (headshots do a lot of damage!) and eventually killed it. Tamed the 280 raptor that was with it and his name is Warzone. Oh, my, god. Over the next span of three days, I had killed FOUR more Alphas around our base with a crossbow! The loot was so worth it. Here’s a tip: have it kill something, get it distracted on the body (make sure nothing helps it eat it) and shoot!
