More Tusoteuthis Stories Tips
For those beginning to read this story, this is Prologue to Ultimus by PrimalApex. A story that goes in reverse aquatic and a couple other creatures that should belong in aquatic (Spino and Shasta). For warning, as I’m currently writing this, it is sad and painful to read. Warning is advised to those who don’t like that sort of thing. I hope you enjoy!!!
Ultimus Prologue
The sun beat down on the earth’s surface. Bare and desolate, the earth dead from an aftermath a millennia before. Nothing left but empty shells of what existed. The earth is in an Extinction event, and may never return from it.
In the far distance comes a noise of metal hitting earth and dropping something the noise continues for some time. The sound was metal clashing earth and tearing earth from earth only to return it to earth. The noise was coming from a man. His eyes were covered with goggles and face covered by bandannas to keep the dust and corrupted element out of his eyes and mouth. He stabbed a pile of dirt with a shovel and placed the dirt in a hole. After some time the hole slowly disappeared. When he was finished, what was a hole became a mound. The man put down his shovel and grabbed a small wooden cross and a hammer. He put the cross down in front of the mound and pounded into the ground with his hammer.
The man took his goggles off and then took off the bandannas showing a young face with hazel green eyes. His eyes red rimmed. He rolled up his sleeves and showed his forearms with no implant. He kneeled down by the cross and said down to the grave “さようなら、旧友よ” as he laid down on the ground and began to weep.
After some time, the man got up. Put his bandannas and goggles on, grabbed his hammer and shovel. and walked away from the grave. He turned and looked back at the grave.
“I will never forget you. I promise.” The man said with the sound of sobbing in his voice.
The man then continued walking away towards the mountains. He climbed up the mountains and passed a strange row of what looked like radio towers. He walked up a path along a cliff face where he walked for some time until he reached a place where the path spit to the right and left. He took the left path which seemed to end at a dead end where a land slide had occurred. He walked up to the land slide and found a crevice that lead into the mountain. The man squeezed his way through and entered on the other side…
What was written on the grave was ‘Rest in Peace, Reuben. For your death was not in vein.’. As for the man, it is inevitable Extinction for him. For he is The Last One. The Last Man on Earth. And Monsters of the Shadows wish to bring his end soon.
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!

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
Hunter Lang and family lived in 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 effected after the war. He was a major computer programmer and hacker that was the main programmer on a major program that allowed him to work at home temporarily.
He sat at his desk in his home 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 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 loves 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 their with his new Rottweiler pup. 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 blues eyes and glasses in his his late thirties. He looked to his left where two Terran Federation flags were folded neatly on the drawers. It had been over fourteen years since he and Kim met as soldiers fighting against the URE. Now he works with them, go figure. He went into the bathroom and opened up a medicine cabinet and grabbed some aspirin. He took one and went back into the bedroom and laid on the bed and closed his eyes.
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.
Found this guy after the ark gods decided "Ruin their day, again," was just swimming around with my new baryonyx, thinking "I saw a tuso in ark asa once and it was super scary, let's see if I- HOLY!?" checked it out cause I'm dumb, realized it wanted to beat me up, proceeded to swim as fast as possible to shore, found out it was muuuch faster than me, got snatched on my level 206 bary, died, and never got my stuff back… if you see one and you're not prepared, just swim, it's already chasing you.

The Fury of the Ocean
I remember it was raining. The wind was singing with the sounds of rain and I was a faded figure in the gray font. I was walking in the harbour. I was looking for a job in a boat. I had heard that a boat was looking for crew.
The boat's name was "The Marmaid", a name that a lot of people though that was bringing bad luck. I never believed in such things. While I was walking I found a tavern and I went inside. There was a lot of people inside, most of them drunk. In the background was an old man with a long white beard. He was holding a beer jar and he was feeding an Ichthyornis with small pieces of cooked fish meat. I sat down down next to him. "Are you the captain of 'the Marmaid'?" I asked. "Who is asking?" I answered "My name is Joseph Smith. I want to get a job in your ship" " In the 'Marmaid'? You're either too brave or too stupid. And, what do you know to do?" " Completely everything. My father was a captain in a schooner." He seemed to think for a while. "Ok. We set sail in the notch. You can sleep here." When I woke up, it was still night. I lit a cigarette while I was waiting. Sometime, captain and the sub crew arrived. "Enjoy your cigarette. There will be a long time before you have one of these again." On the notch we left the harbour. Now we was in the ocean and the sea wind was blowing on our faces.
