I first saw this mostrosity when I was in a multiplayer server as an absolute noob. I wandered the shores until I found a giant structure with a ton of fancy things and wandered in. It was practically a zoo: the most exotic and hardest to find of creatures were literally right in front of me. Including 10 raptors that killed me (I had just spawned) after first being scared to death it would kill me, then investigating closer, realizing it was peaceful. It is good to know things about this- you will want to come across it, it will scare off hordes of noobs.

I am a huge dinosaur and prehistoric animal nerd. So I heard about this creature and I looked it up. I found numerous videos about “Tusoteuthis taming!” “Taming Tusoteuthis in ark!”

I was like, what is this amazing game? I downloaded it on my iPad and started playing. (December 2019.)

I started playing ark just because of the Tuso, and for over a year, I still hadn’t seen one. Then, in FEBRUARY 2021, I finally saw a Tuso when I was swimming on my dolphin on the island (I started playing pc as well as mobile btw.) I saw an ALPHA SQUID and I totally freaked out.

Now, just the other day, I tamed my first Tuso with pearls on Genesis. It is a beautiful blue color and is OP, so I named it Havoc!

I have a story for you. I once tamed a tuso by feedin it balm and pearls. We had great adventures. Everyday I would collect oil from it and make gas. One day we were swimmin around together getting angler jell. And the game glitches just as we were attacked Ng a mosa and an army of mantas. I reload the game an look for my boi tusa( his name is legs) I can't find him any where. I look in the takes place and request him just before it finished it said. Your legs has killed a mosa. Your legs has been killed by a manta.RIP legs u were an inky boi. Upydoot to pay respects.#loveulegs

So idk where to put this so I put it in encountering. Sit down ye landlubbers and hear my tale. I was hunting basilos on my kraken named blue. He could kill anything he saw. I couldn’t find even one basilo I went into a cave thinking one might be in there then beasts of horror came and trapped me and my great kraken of death. The nightmarish sharks, dunkleos, jellyfish, and more started to bite, sting, and do more horrid things. Now if ye look down into a cave ye better remember my tale. or ye won’t tell a tale cause dead men tell no tales.

Ultimus: Current Setting

Year: 2364

Location: Camacho International Forest (The last wildlife park on Earth), 11586 kilometers away from Arat Prime and 8344 kilometers away from Sanctuary

Ultimus Chapter One: Beginning

Hunter Lang and family lived in the Camacho International Forest with his wife and son. His wife Kim was the lead Biologist and was stationed here to take samples and study how the wildlife was affected after the war. He was a major computer programmer and hacker who was the main programmer on a major program that allowed him to work at home temporarily.

He sat at his desk in his home office. He was looking at hundreds of lines of code on his screen. All of it giving him a headache at the moment. He looked to the side of his desk where he had a family photo. His son Andrew is up in front. Andrew was schooling at home by computer due to being stationed. He had turned eleven several months ago and was finishing work on his first degree. He loved his son, but it was getting hard for him to do his work and be a father. Especially with what the Terran Federation pushing him harder and harder. As a high-ranking programmer and lead on the project for them his time away from the project was important time wasted for the Federation. But for him, it was necessary time spent with his family. They were trying desperately to get him to come to the main site but he continued to refuse because he was needed with his family just as much. Looking at all this code made it all frustrating to him.

His computer made a chime sound and He looked up to see he got an email. It was addressed to Kim from the Terran Federation. He was tempted to read it, but he was going to let Kim read it first. The Terran Federation assigned her to this station and they might be requesting a quarterly report. She always has one pop-up around this time of year and she had been getting it ready for their request.

Hunter got up from his computer to go look outside in the backyard. He saw Andrew playing out there with his new Rottweiler pup. Kim thought it was best for them to splurge on getting him a dog, getting a more endangered species of dog felt it would be best for the species survival, plus she didn’t want to empower this whole new trend with domestication of the species of dog that proliferated out of control to all other species of dog on Earth after the war. But in the end, Hunter agreed only for the Rottweiler to ensure the species survival and for protection over Andrew. Andrew hadn’t named him yet, he said that he was looking for the perfect name. He only had owned him for a week and he will have ten years of memories to build with him.

Hunter went to his bedroom and looked in his wife’s mirror in her vanity. Hunter was a tall man, medium build, dirty blonde with blue eyes and glasses in his late thirties. He looked to his left where two Terran Federation flags were folded neatly on the drawers. It had been over nineteen years since he and Kim met as soldiers fighting against the URE. Now he works with them, go figure. He went into the bathroom opened up a medicine cabinet and grabbed some aspirin. He took one and went back into the bedroom laid on the bed and closed his eyes.

Ok, on with the story we started heading to the location where the tuso was, it was right next to the barrier and there was tons of threats around it me and Riptide cleared everything out and headed for the first feed.... It went well! I realized we need to feed it 3 times until it was tamed time passed I started to get anxious “what if i die?“ “what if Riptide dies?“ I realized I should go in for the next feed and so i did.... Hell broke out the tuso grapped Riptide and me and fricking slammed us throught the barrier! I lost all my stuff and my brave Riptide who fought until the end... #RIP Riptide!

Tales of Pandora

Origins of Salizar: Chapter 10 ~ Flown the coop ~

Primalis trekked through the forest, he was investigating rumors about a cave near a small lake. “Blast it all! If these plants don’t stop touching me I’ll burn this whole dammed forest!” He said angrily to his purlovia, who answered with a grunt. Primalis was not an adventurer or a spelunker, he would much rather have spent his time in the lab, or at the very least be escorted by his taskforce. Unfortunately for him the King’s word is law, he would have to find an artifact, or die trying. He eventually stumbled across the lake, (or rather his mount did) and a grin came across his face, “Huzza! Soon I will be rid of this infernal place.” He dismounted and ordered his purlovia to search, then he sat down on a fallen log as if he was exhausted, even though he hadn’t walked a step this whole expedition. His backpack was heavy, it contained a few days worth of rations, which he despised; a bedroll, which he dreaded having to use; and some other survival essentials. He also had a quiver and a crossbow. “Where did that beast run off to!” Primalis said. The “beast” came back a few seconds later, motioning for him to follow it. He of course mounted it instead. They reached the cave mouth and Primalis’s mood lightened a bit. “Well, GO.” He said harshly to the purlovia. It walked through the empty cave quickly, “odd that there’s no beasts in here, Hmm lucky me.” He said. But he was in fact, not lucky because when they got to the end of the cave there was no artifact. “WHERE IS IT!” Primalis shouted. The purlovia growled wile sniffing the ground. “What is it creature.” Primalis asked rhetorically. The purlovia looked up at him, “It’s a footprint dum-” “ahh tracks! Of.. a raptor? They look wrong somehow..” Primalis interrupted, not able to understand the purlovia. “Follow.” Primalis ordered. “FoLlOw” the purlovia mocked. Primalis took the grunt as a “yes master!” Even though it wasn’t..

“I got it boss!” Ras said with a cackle. “Good work, only two more artifacts and the gigantopithicus trophy, then we can slay the dragon and leave this ark.” Ryker said. “I hope we see that meso again, I’ve got unfinished business with him..” Killion said. “As do we all Killion, but he is not the objective, remember the plan.” Ryker said. “Of course boss.” Killion replied. “All done Ras!” Wretch said. he now had robotic arms, and they had hands, much more useful. “Let’s goooo!” Ras said excitedly. Wretch showed him the arm, which was a good replacement, a raptor like arm and claws. “Alll right! … But where are the knives..?” Ras asked. “Ras I assure you these claws are just as sharp-” “shhhhhh” Ras said with a claw over Wretch’s mandibles. “I need the knives.”

Salizar was strolling through the woods, arms crossed behind his back. he unlike Primalis enjoyed the forest. He was locked up for his entire childhood, he couldn’t stand to be cooped up in one place for too long. As he was walking he saw tracks in the mud, Ras’s, he decided it was safe to go no further in that direction, so he turned right from the tracks. He heard a twig break as he walked and he looked around suspiciously, he heard more rustling and decided to climb a tree for a better view, he say a human woman, blond, wearing torn up clothes and running for the hills (so to speak) he recognized her as one of the only kind humans he’d ever met. Dr. Flight. “Wait!” He shouted in English. She looked up and saw him, and then ran faster. “Oh right, the mask..” he said in animal. “Wait! It’s mi! Salizzer!” He said in broken English. She turned around and looked at him, she recognized him. “Salizar?” She said. “Yes.” He said. He climbed down and she walked towards him. “You can speak.. I knew you were smart.” She said. “Why you run?” He asked. “I just escaped, King Drake wanted to use me as a soaker hearder, it’s basically suicide.” She said. Salizar nodded. “W-where did you get the mask..” she asked a bit scared to hear the answer. “I, found.” He lied, he took off the mask to show his burned face. “Poor thing, those people are insane!” She said. He nodded again. “Come.” Salizar said. “Ok where to—thud—” Salizar didn’t know why she stopped talking, until he saw the arrow, it was a direct hit, straight through the heart. She dropped, dead. Salizar looked around, and saw Primalis, atop his purlovia and quite please with himself as he leaded a second shot. Salizar’s face filled with rage, he screamed in anger. The last good human was dead, in his mind all others were evil, he would never speak their infernal language again. He ran in fury. not away, but towards Primalis.
