So I was taking a 135 and I knocked out, put in my soothing balm and waited for it to eat my kibble, I put spikes around it just in case. Then when I came back it was at like 83 percent and I was pumped, I leave it for a second to go get my Pteranodon but it was gone, then when I looked back THESE FREAKING BUMHOLES WERE KILLING IT AND MY PTERANODON WENT TO GO FIGHT THEM AND IT DIED. So then I get SUPER PISSED OFF and I pull my gigs and call the tribe to hunt them down and kill them, we found their base with the parasaur and then we POPCORNED EVERYTHING, KILLED ALL OF THEIR TAMES, AND DESTROYED THEIR BASE, they got super mad and left the server and I eventually found a 145 and tamed it peacefully.
The End.
I had a Griffin. His name was Theniden. He was the most frustrating tame, both me and my tribe mates went through so much trouble getting it. He was a lvl 70.
After the Griffin was knocked, upon my tribe mate asking, the admin came to help us get him tamed quicker. Not only did she get it tamed in an instant (bless her soul, thanks Xkay), but she also lvled him up to 450.
Now the thing is, I had heard that a tame would be wiped if it’s lvl went over 450. Worried, I asked if that was true. They told me it wouldn’t go over it. And, they were right, it didn’t…
For two weeks.
I was out lvling up all my tames, when I finished up and spotted his name. 451. Instantly full of guilt, I went, and I apologized to him. I really did. He was never my favorite tame, but now I loved him more than I had before. And soon he would be gone.
Later that day, instead of letting him disappear, I stupidly decided to unclaim him. Yes, I knew he’d hold a grudge. I knew he’d be wild again and attack me. But I wanted him to have just a few moments of freedom before he disappeared.
And I did, I brought him to the top of Griffin Mountain where all of his kind went. Right after he was unclaimed he flew up and attacked me and everything in sight.
Sorry for this long as heck story, hope you enjoyed it.
RIP, Theniden. He died free.

I was going on a hike with my giga named Compy and my Compy named Giga, so no one gets confused i will call my Giga named Compy One, and my Compy named Giga Two. So we were going up a mountain and FINALLY got to the top, and Two (Compy named Giga) thought it was a good idea to bite a Royal Griffin. The royal griffin then killed Two and killed me, i went back up the mountain with my pteranodon named Flying Dodo quickly… One (Giga named Compy) died!!! I worked so hard on taming One. And so i quickly tried to kill the Griffin but it killed me and my Pteranodon.
1 Up = 1 respect to Compy The Giga (One) Giga The Compy (Two) and Flying Dodo the pteranodon
So yesterday i went to the griffins mountain (to find a high level griffins), and i found one! A female 280lvl, unfortunately, i have no kibble, and i don't have any allosaurs either! So, what did i do? I searched around the map like 12hours to find ambers on drops to buy a kibble bench for 25 ambers (i don't remember what it called lol), and to buy the mixes a 90 ambers, and i got 54 of allosaurs kibble, and then i tried to tame the 280lvl griffin (i already trapped it btw), so, the kibble is still not enough! It's stuck on 80%, but i managed to get enough prime meat before the time is up, so now i got it! Her name is ✨Krilriyss✨
Stayed up 2 hours taming this level 2 griffin with my allo kibble. It wasn’t enough, so I just kept giving it prime. It was at 94%. Yup. Then guess hwta happened? A allo. A allo pack spawned on top of the griffin. I got killed. It got killed. My heart is broken. I wasted my sleep for what? For what? Rip Barryys.:/
The Animal That Made Me Rage Quit Ark.
So after finally reaching level 85 so I could be respected to tame a Griffin, I grinded for AGES to get allo kibble, enough meat, enough amber for major soothing balm, all the materials for fridges, generators, longneck rifles, ammo etc. Set up my trap, a spiked perimeter near the mountain and caught one. Level 405 (I play on the hardest difficulty). Female. And stunning colours, I was so happy. Spent half hour knocking her out, did the dododex maths for a starve tame and realised I couldn't be bothered because I would also like enough time to realise if I'm low on meat to go grab more, so I just did the basic method. Ran out of kibble and prime eventually and regular raw meat was giving me 0.1%. Ain't nobody got time for that so I left and went nearby to grab some more prime, stego's and brontos etc. Came back. AND SHE HAD DESPAWNED. Ark Mobile really needs to fix this because how can PC players leave their creatures still taming and come back and they're fine, but mobile can't?
