This is from my first days of playing ARK. My first Spino was named Lizzie. She was awesome looking, and mildly strong to boot. 34 isn't bad for a rookie tame, right? She was a complete shadow, except for a bright red sail top. She was an impressive looking beast, to say the least. Well, I was taming a T-Rex for the first time, and the entire party, including my best friend and Lizzie, fell to the beast. We managed to tame her too, so Lizzie's sacrifice was not in vain. With my current level of knowledge, she would easily have been saved.

I still go to that familiar stretch of water, going into the swamp, where I met her. I still hope on occasion she'll meet me there again. But, because of that attachedness I make sure almost none of my Spinos fall to the wild. I do it for her.
