When I was starting ark my friend had given me a Scorpion egg to start off my journey on SCORCHED EARTH (yes I was dumb and I probably still am lol) I hatched it at midnight and named him Jack black because he was kinda of a purple and blackish color . I used him to tame animals because of his poison. When I reach level 35. I set on my first adventure, to find a raptor. I eventually found one and knocked it out. But then I saw them 4 terror birds coming straight at my raptor. I quickly called Jack black and he started defending the raptor, he won but suffered many injuries so I fed him to heal him a bit. I let him guard the raptor and I was gonna come back with some meat, then I saw the message Jack black was killed by a thylacoleo . I rushed quickly only to find out a knocked out thylacoleo and a raptor with no scratches on it. I tamed both but I kept the thylocaleo in a cage for eternity. When I got good I unclaimed the thylacoleo and gave it to my friend, but I wasn’t done I asked him to attack me and my raptor. So I could finally get my revenge I fought the thylacoleo with only my pike and my raptor. And after a long fight the only one on the ground was my dead body. I lost and I got absolutely destroyed. Long story short don’t mess with Thylacoleos
