I actually tamed one of these on accident. I had built a trap for taming a Trike and when searching for one to agro I got jumped at by a Thyla and freaked out and ran to my base but the beast just jumped right into my trap. After that it was easy to knock him out with my tranqs. I named him Cole btw, he was a great guy. But just like any story about your perfect pet on ark.... you lose them. We were on a metal run and I was taking him because he can jump far. When I saw some metal I got off and started hitting it but suddenly I got attacked by 3 terror birds and Cole jumped right off a cliff to catch one. Normally these guys can survive a fall but after saving me from the terror bird he had fallen into a swamp :( . Instantly he was ambushed by a Kapro and two Sarcos. He fought well and killed the first Sarco but in the end he died. I have a gravestone at my old base which reads “ here lies a great frienship that came about by what seems to have been chance but was the invisible connection between him and his soon to be owner that would spend so much time together and still be protecting his beloved friend to his death.” RIP Cole 😰😥😭
This valiant Thyla who life was so unfair to. I just wish I had more time to tell him how much he meant to me. 😟
Tales of Pandora
Origins of Salizar, Chapter 17: ~extinction~
Sylver was writing on a piece of parchment as they rode to battle, she was writing a brief overview of “King Drake’s exploits” which included the spear throughout the story even though he had really just found it, the tale made him seem far more powerful and brave than he was and neglected to mention his daughter’s death or how broken he was afterwards. “Are you sure you don’t want to stay behind? We don’t know what will be in that obelisk, you don’t even know how to fight.” Grizzly said to her. “How can I write about this epic battle without witnessing it firsthand!” She said. “You did for the other two battles…” Drake said from high above on his carchar. “Yes and note how brief those sections are? I had to get people like Grizzly to tell me what even happened. I’ll be fine.” Sylver said. “Your funeral.” Grizzly said quietly.
Caesar marched along, he didn’t want to go into the obelisk for fear of his life, but he had no choice, he was bound, the man who was holding his leash snapped at him, he couldn’t understand the words, but he got the gist, “hurry up” he trodded on a bit faster.
“The humans march to the red obelisk as we speak.” The overseer said. “Good, all according to plan.” Salizar said. “I shall alert the dragon and his henchmen and have them prepared.” The overseer said. “Good … wait, is Caesar with the humans?” Salizar asked. “Affirmative.” The overseer replied. “Tell them to spare him, Caesar and I never got along, but perhaps he would be willing to help me rid the universe of the humans.” Salizar said. “Command acknowledged.” The Overseer said.
Caesar looked around him, the forest was destroyed, shattered trees littered the expanded path, huge dinosaurs surrounded him on all sides, armored for battle and ridden by humans, he could hear the cracks and bangs of trees up ahead getting bulldozed by the massive behemoths leading the way, behind him he heard the steady thrashing of the war-drums mounted atop wooly mammoths who trumpeted in support. The air stank of animal and pine. Eventually they reached the obelisk, towering above them like a shining skyscraper, its red glow barely visible in the daylight. The army crammed onto the platform below the obelisk and waited for King Drake. Caesar found himself shoved in-between a trike and a giga he wasn’t able to move but he could see Drake. He had dismounted his carchar and was now standing by the terminal, he raised his spear and began to give a speech, Caesar couldn’t understand but it was this; “MEN! WE ENTER THIS ARENA, NOT FOR POWER, NOT FOR GLORY … BUT FOR FREEDOM! WE WILL ESCAPE THIS HELL, EVEN IF I MUST DREDGE THROUGH THE MARSHES OF HADES AND FIGHT THE CERBERUS MYSELF!” The crowd cheered, “AFTER TONIGHT WE WILL HAVE CONQUERED THIS PLACE, AND WE WILL ESCAPE IT! ARE, YOU, WITH ME!” He boomed. The cheers and battle-cries riled up the savage tames who chimes in with bellows and roars, Drake grabbed his spear with both hands and said to himself, “for Dalia, for Esme…” before plunging the weapon into the terminal, the terminal sparked and the bubble appeared around them, they could see the volcanic landscape and some said things like “it is Hades!” And “what demon dwells here?” Then, the familiar white flash.
Salizar and his Overseer stood in the viewing room, looking out into the dragon’s arena, a bright flash shone and there they were, the humans. They stomped about for a moment, looking for their adversary, then they heard it, the roar of Apex, it put fear in even their biggest beasts, the dimorphidons and pterosaurs started to fly in, grabbing men off their mounts and getting shot down by their artillery. “Quite the spectacle eh?” Salizar said. “Affirmative.” “Is the drone ready?” Salizar asked. The Overseer turned slightly to look at him, “Affirmative, shall I-” “no, I want to do it myself.” Salizar said.
Caesar’s captor dropped his leash almost immediately to focus on the fight, Caesar on the other hand ran for cover, the dragon ripped through the human forces, decimating them with fireblasts, he finally landed to do battle on the ground, Grizzly was the first to charge riding on a deinonychus, his battle axe shattered on contact with Apex’s thick scaly hide, his mount jumped onto the dragon trying to tear at his scales, it did minimal damage, Apex grabbed the deinonychus with one arm, throwing Grizzly off the saddle and down to the ground, he crushed the raptor in his claw and swallowed it whole. Grizzly crawled away from the dragon, towards Ceasar who was hiding behind a rock formation, “you- help me..” he said, but Caesar couldn’t help a burning corpse, Apex blasted a red-hot beam of fire directly at Grizzly, eviscerating him instantly. Caesar lunged backwards in fear, right into a pteranodon, the flyer looked down at him, but then just flew off. Caesar feinted.
Salizar remote controlled the tek drone into the arena, using it’s cloaking technology to be unseen, he dodged through the carnage and fire of the battle, until he found Caesar, this was just before Grizzly crawled over to him, he shot Caesar with the microchip, so small Caesar didn’t notice it through the adrenaline he was experiencing. “Mission accomplished.” The Overseer said, Salizar cackled a bit happily.
The human forces were severely depleted, but so were all of Apex’s friends, he was red with anger. “You will pay…” he said looking directly at Drake. Drake looked back, he only heard a snarl but knew a challenge when he heard one, “YOU WANT ME? COME AND GET ME” Drake roared. Caesar woke up, a little lightheaded, but he was just in time to see the fall of a king.
Drake charged forward at Apex, who charged in turn, they clashed, Drake’s carchar, who was in full bloodlust, biting onto Apex’s forearm, Apex bit the carchar’s torso to match, and Drake stabbed at Apex’s neck with his spear, Apex opened his eye and looked at Drake, glaring at him with hatred, he let go of the carchar and grabbed onto its leg instead, the carchar continued to thrash at the dragon, he shook Apex’s talons off of his leg and did a spin attack, Apex was knocked back a bit, but it wasn’t enough. He snagged both legs of the carchar out from under it, toppling it to the ground, Drake tried to escape but his leg was caught in the tangled reins, which had torn when Apex bit at the carchar, the Dragon unfurled its wings with a mighty gust of wind which sent Caesar reeling. Apex started to rise, and rise, clutching on to the powerful legs of the carchar, Drake dangling by his leg below, they rose and rose, until Caesar could no longer see them through the cloud of smoke above, the carchar struggled to brake free or bite at Apex, but it was in no position to do either, when Apex was so high that they were close to the skybox, Apex released the carchar from his grip, with a mad grin he watched, the hopeless beast roaring as it fell. Drake accepted his fate almost immediately, he closed his eyes and prayed. “My girls, I’m coming.”
The thud blew dust throughout the arena, Apex slowly glid down to the surface, scorching the remaining soldiers with one mighty blast, Caesar ducked behind the rock just in time.
“Incredible.” Salizar said watching from the hidden window.
Apex walked over to the dead carchar, Drakes spear lay nearby, he grabbed it and walked over to the ledge of the arena, by all appearances there was nothing but sky and smoke beyond the ledge, Apex knew better, he thrust the spear into the border, the fake boundaries of the arena collapsing to reveal dull greyish-blue hexagons, energy circled out of the spear creating a gateway, the red obelisk terminal visible beyond. “Soon Father and I shall be reunited.” Apex thought. He walked through the portal and flew out into Pandora. Caesar had no choice but to make a run for it, he stumbled out into the forest and ran for his life.
The Ark, was doomed.

20 hours before the Titanosaur Showdown…
Around an hour after the trio killed the Alpha Rex, they returned to base to drop off the tooth they collected from the Rex. When the flyers landed outside the castle, Sodden got off, and so did Serenity. She gave the tooth to Sodden and he took it inside the castle. He walked upstairs towards the cabinet near Denine’s room that was labeled “Tributes.” Sodden opened the doors and put the tooth on the top shelf that was for Overseer tributes. Sodden closed the cabinet, then as he was about to turn around to leave, Denine tapped him on the shoulder. Sodden turned around. “We’re meeting later today. Okay?” She said. “Uh, yeah. I was going to find Red after I dropped off the Alpha Rex tooth.” Sodden said. “Yeah, well, I haven’t seen a message that anyone killed a Mosa or Tuso. I did, however, see a ton of messages that Red killed some eels. Looks like it’s a little messy down there.” Denine said. “I was going to go help him.” Sodden said. “You know what? You don’t really have to. We’ve got a ton tomorrow.” Denine said. “Yeah, but I gotta help him when I can.” Sodden said. He walked downstairs, then Denine ran to him. “Hey. You might need this.” She said, then threw a cryopod at him. Sodden caught it, and saw that it had a Mosa in it. “You have scuba, right?” Denine said. Sodden nodded, then Denine walked back to her room. Sodden walked out of the castle then to Rod and Serenity, who stood besides their Argies. “Well… let’s go find Red.” Sodden said. Everyone nodded, then got on their fliers. They took off for the western underwater cave where Red said they would be.
When the trio got to the shore of the west, everyone put their fliers in their cryopods, then Sodden walked to the water, threw out a cryopod, and a Mosa came out. Sodden put on his scuba tank, then Serenity walked to him. “Hey. Be careful down there.” She said. Sodden nodded then dived into the water, swam to the Mosa, got on it then rode it down to the cave. When he got there, he saw Red and another person there, both on their own Mosas, fighting off a alpha Mosa who came out of the cave. The normal Mosas were both bloodied, and so was the Alpha Mosa. Sodden went down to them, then Red saw it. “Oh, hey. We’re kind of in a pickle here.” He said as his Mosa kept biting the Alpha Mosa’s neck, then the Alpha started bashing its tail against Red’s Mosa, then it screeched and boosted itself to bite the Mosa’s neck, then Sodden’s Mosa looked down and opened its mouth, then bit into the body and pushed it down. The Alpha Mosa screeched and turned its head around to bite the Mosa, then Red’s Mosa swam and sunk its teeth in the head of the Mosa, causing it to not make any noise at all. Blood was coming out of the Alpha fast. Then after around a minute of holding the Mosa, it trying to shake off the Mosas killing it, it just stopped. Then the message showed up. Red swam over to the dead Alpha, then the other Mosas let go of it. Red took out the Alpha Mosasaur Tooth. He put it in his bag, then the Mosas went back up to the surface. Sodden got off, then turned to Red. “We’ll handle the Tuso. You can get back to base.” Red said. Sodden nodded. He then put his Mosa in a cryopod, then Red and his Mosa dived back down, as did his buddy. Sodden and the others threw out their fliers just then, then took back off for Nudon.
18 hours before the Titanosaur Showdown…
It was later in the afternoon. Red and his buddy arrived back at the base, and when they entered the castle, Denine sat on the chair from across the table, and Sodden and the others sat near her. Red and his buddy sat near Sodden and Rod. Then some others came in and sat down too. “Okay. Tomorrow, we set out for the Titanosaur battle. We have all the tributes. The Alpha trophies, all the boss tributes, everything. That means we’re ready for the battle. Some people of ours are putting metal and hide in the smithy with the ascendant Rex saddle. They’re going to use mindwipe tonics to get all their levels in crafting speed, so that they can speed craft them. Resources are heavy, so it’ll take a few hours for everything to be ready. Nameless will leave their mountain with their Quetzal at approximately 9, if I’m not mistaken. C Tribe may leave around the same time. We’ll start the walk to the Titanosaur with our Gigas at that time. The Rexes will protect the base and Denine. To ensure the shotgun doesn’t get taken, it’s securely hidden in the base. It was encased in the feeding trough. No one is going to get suspicious of that when we have so many Gigas, and need so much meat to feed them.” Red said. “So even if they could get past the Rexes, they would have a very hard time finding the shotgun.” Sodden said. “Yes.” Rod responded. “So what?” Sodden said. “You’re going to come with us. As will Rod and Serenity. But Nameless and C Tribe may be bringing their Gigas too. Sodden, Rod, what level are you two?” Red asked. “I’m at Level 97” Sodden said. “I’m at Level 95.” Rod said. “Okay. Still need a little bit more XP. But I think the Titan can take care of that if you have the explorer note ready. Okay. Sodden, Rod, Serenity, go prepare the Rexes, Everyone else, get resources in!” Red said. Then everyone walked out of the castle.
15 hours before the Titanosaur Showdown…
After the Rexes were organized in groups across the outside of the walls, and groups of people were taking metal ingots and hide stacks from the Argies and Gigas into the castle, Sodden sat on the top of the volcano, overlooking the entire Island. He spent the last two hours finding and killing a few creatures on his list. His pteranodon sat with him, as did his raptor. The sun began to fall below the horizon, and the evening light was dimming. Sodden’s last evening on The Island would come to a close soon. The next day, he would fight a Titan, then go fight the bosses and ascend off the Ark and go to Scorched Earth. As he looked around, Serenity came from below on her Argy. She landed it next to Sodden, hopped off, then walked to him. She sat down next to the raptor and Sodden, and Sodden looked at her. “Can’t believe we’ve come this far. We’re about to ascend off the Ark.” Sodden said. “Yeah. It’s exciting. We will come back, but not for a while. But someday, we will.” Serenity said. “Yeah. So I guess that’s going to be it. The last creatures, the last battle… then it’s time for Scorched Earth.” Sodden said. “Then after that… Aberration.” Serenity said. “Let’s hope the tribe there that tried to kill you via Reaper Queen is gone.” Sodden said. “They probably are. Terad said he wiped them out before he left.” Serenity said. “Good. Then our biggest concern is what happens when we return.” Sodden said. “We’ll think about that later. Let’s enjoy the final evening here.” Serenity said as she nudged closer to Sodden. “Okay. Just take it all in.” Sodden said. Serenity put her arm around Sodden and he put his head on Serenity’s shoulder as they looked at the sunset. The final day was complete. And the two friends spent the last sunset together, then Rod came over, got off his Argy, and hugged the two as he sat down. As the light disappeared, Sodden could see it in his head; a huge battle for his tribe, a fight to ascend, and hopefully he could reach Dead Earth before Terad caught him.
But that was a long way from now.
Until then…
They had The Island, Scorched Earth, Aberration, Ragnarok, Crystal Isles, Lost Island, and Fjordur to do.
And Sodden’s journey on the Island was about to end…
Tune in for the finale of his journey on The Island soon…
In the Section I Finale…
Tune in to Titanosaur soon to catch Chapter 25a…

Hope u enjoyed my little story!
i once had a Thyla called Mango. Mango was light orange with brown stripes. Then I found a black female thyla who had rlly good stats. I built a zoo at that time and I had them all on wandering to make it realistic but I forgot to neuter my thylas… now mango and nyx (the black one) have millions of children. (They had triplets) I named them Orange, Banana and Maple Syrup. I love my triplets and my Thylas. So once the triplets grew up, I took Maple Syrup on a trip to my friend’s base across the ocean. My Wyvern dropped them in the ocean and they got attacked by a megalodon and killed. R.I.P Maple Syrup. 1 like = 1 flower for Maple Syrup.
Me and my friend started a server. We managed to clutch tame a 162 thyla. After she nearly attacked or knocked out carno. After dealing with 2 golems we finally got her tamed. We named her queen. She was a champ... We loved her. She helped us defeat the ice queen on rag several times. Thyla blood op am i right. We used her on the golem boss. We defeated it.... As we were leaving.... I was jumping a gap of lava.... A lag spike hit rubber banding me back... She fell into the lava... She gave her life so i could grapple to safety.... We have a grave set up for her on her favourite spot.... She leaves us with her children... Mutated thylas named ruby shade and topaz..
Shell forever remaim in our hearts and minds... Rest in peace queen our best friend....
