Barely knocked out a level 135 spino on my last tranq arrow πŸ˜‚ He took hours to tame, and I had to keep feeding him jellyfish narcotics to keep him asleep. After hours of waiting, he was finally finished, so I told him to follow me across a giant lake to the island my base was on… UNTIL HE WAS ATTACKED BY 8 MEGLADONS! I frantically shot at them with my crossbow and was depressed when my Sarco was killed during the conflict. They just keep coming, and I thought my Spino was a goner until he just kept killing then all! To my surprise, he swam away with 16 megladon teeth and over 1000 health to spare! Spinos are the best!

I posted a tip on the fact that Spinos are better than rexes, and tbh, they still are. The tip has above 600 likes. I did end up taming a pair of rexes, and breeding them. They had a baby rex that I painted blue and fully imprinted, and pumped all its points into melee. And guess what? I've only pumped a few points into melee on my spino.... AND THE MELEE IS ACTUALLY COMPARABLE! I rest my case. Spinos are also verrry fast. Lol my Spino has WAYYY more damage than my Giga.

Hello, all! Here’s a story!

I had a spino named Bubbles. He max level (150) and a BEAST. I think he had maybe 30,000 health. He was so loyal, and so brave. Until it all went down...

Me and Bubbles were out hunting for EXP for my otter, Nibbles. We found two mated rexes, and attacked. We easily killed them both, and Nibbles got plenty of experience. Once we returned to the base, my tribemate was going insane, screaming. I raced over, still mounted on Bubbles, and asked what was happening. β€œWe’re being raided!” He shouted in a horrified fashion. I immediately turned and raced out on Bubbles. He fought to his last breath, his last attack being driving a giga away from out argy, Toriel (#PrayForToriel). Sadly, Bubbles didn’t make it. But that act of bravery and his fearsome fighting won us that battle. So now, comrades, remember to appreciate your tames. They may eventually die, defending you loyally.

I had a Spino once. His name was J.J. I loved him. But like always, good things always come to an end. We were out looking for giant turtles for their keratin when J.J. fell over the edge of a cliff. I was on my pteradon so I flew over the edge and J.J. was following me back to bace when he was killed my a therizinosaurus... I just sat there on my pteradon watching him be torn apart, unable to help... So now, my bace is called Fort J.J. in honor of him. I will always remember my most loyal friend.

Spino is my absolute FAV Dino. I haven’t seen one in ark cus I kinda like to keep to my own little area. There is a spino spawn thing a little farther than I have gone. Should I?

A short story of Bravery and Courage.

One day, while exploring the vast greenland’s for the Lava Cave, I was pounced by a raptor. She was a beautiful purple color. I’d never tamed a raptor before. I was attempting to kill it when I accidentally knocked it out. I figured now that it’s out, I might as well try to tame her. And I did so very successfully.

Two game months later, I had tamed a male raptor. I bred them together and Had Triplets, Delta, Echo, and Larry. They all were beautiful. All males.

Then...

A Spinosaurus, the spinosaurus that we had been fending off from our territory for weeks now, wandered just feet away from our base. I prepared for battle. All My Raptors and my Trike were all facing the huge spino. I sent them to target. They all died in the process. Except for one raptor.. The female I had tamed in my first day.. Adira.

Adira now rests in my base, safe from harm.

To the others, however.. May we meet again.
