Dossier Wild: Whether its size is caused by adaptation to the island’s other inhabitants, or by cross-breeding with another larger species, Melanocetus Anglerpescum is the largest form of Anglerfish I’ve ever heard of. Typically found only among the deepest, darkest expanses of the ocean, this creature preys on smaller fish while being an excellent source of food for larger predators. Domesticated: Exploring the depths of the ocean can be difficult. The cold, the lack of air, and the shocking absence of light combine to make travel very dangerous. A tamed Anglerfish can use the natural light at the end of its stalks to illuminate the depths, makingRead More →

Dossier Wild: Found mostly in marshes and jungles, Achatina Limusegnis is a very slow, very non-threatening land mollusk. It might be the safest creature on the island to hunt and while it only provides a small amount of meat and chitin, an easy meal is always good on the island. Domesticated: There is a very disgusting, but useful, fact about Achatina that causes tribes to seek to tame them: its secretions are chemically similar to the ‘Cementing Paste’ used by many tribes for building materials. Tamed Achatina naturally build up this slime over time, which can then be collected at the tribe’s convenience. Known Information: Unlike nearly every other creature onRead More →

Here you will find the possible dyes that you can make in ARK: Survival Evolved. Dyes are created in a cooking pot, like most recipes, and will result in 5 dyes for each batch of ingredients. For each of the dyes, the table below will list the individual items that you need. However all dyes also require water, so you need to put a waterskin, water jar or canteen in the cooking pot in addition to the ingredients. Also be aware that you are not using spark powder as a fuel when creating a dye of which spark powder is not an ingredient: it mightRead More →

In this post you’ll find the table with the specific ingredient for each of the kibbles you can create in ARK. The kibbles can be created by putting the ingredients in a cooking pot and lighting the fire. After around 30 seconds a kibble will be formed. In addition to the ingredients that are present in the table, you’ll also need 2 mejoberries, 3 fiber and something filled with water (such as a waterskin, water jar or canteen) to be put in the cooking pot. Furthermore you will require fuel to light the cooking pot, such as wood or thatch. Special Case: For the Quetzal kibbleRead More →

Dossier Wild: Like most Trilobites, Trilobite Conchadurus is an opportunistic carnivore that feeds on anything smaller than itself which it can get a hold of. A sluggish creature, the Trilobite’s best defense is its incredibly hard shell. This seems to be a common adaption for the slower creatures of the island. Domesticated:The Trilobite does not seem to have enough intelligence to be tamed. This doesn’t mean it doesn’t have its uses among resourceful survivors, though. Trilobites are easily one of the best sources of high quality chitin on the island, assuming one doesn’t wish to venture into the dangerous caves. Known Information: Trilobite is not a very good source of food. The creature seems to be made mostly out ofRead More →

Dossier Wild: Apparently a cross-breed of a Triceratops and Styracosaurus, Triceratops styrax has both the characteristic three-horned face of Triceratops and the prominent horned-ridge of Styracosarus. Domesticated: A common mount for those that ride dinosaurs, Triceratops doubles as both pack animal and combat war horse. Known Information:Normally a very docile grazing animal, Triceratops becomes extremely aggressive once angered. Triceratops will chase down would-be predators (and egg-stealers) with incredible prejudice. Triceratops bony ridge is very effective as cover from frontal attack, and the creature’s charge is incredibly dangerous. I’ve seen Triceratops have an especially hostile reaction to the Tyrannosaurus on the island, with herds attacking in groups. Drops Raw Meat Hide KeratinRead More →

Dossier Wild: Titanomyrma is one of the smaller creatures on the island; A frightening thought, when you realize it is the size of a dog. A hive-minded herbivore, Titanomyrmausually goes about it’s business unless provoked. When attacked or threatened, it releases a chemical which alerts all Titanomyrma in a large range to help fight the aggressor. Domesticated: Because of its hive mentality, I’ve not seen any successfully tamed Titanomyrma on the island yet. Fortunately for lone survivors, separated Titanomyrmacan be easily picked off for a small supply of Chitin among other valuable natural resources. Known Information: I’ve seen two varieties of Titanomyrma: Drones and soldiers. Drones are smaller, faster and land-bound, and they harvest for theRead More →

Dossier Wild: Found only in the dark caves of the island, Titanoboa exornantur is an aggressive creature that prefers cold dark rocky areas. This extremely large snake, while being a member of the Titanoboa family, does not constrict its prey as most boas do. This adaption may come from coexisting with giant insects. Domesticated: As they appear immune to knockout poisons, Titanoboa exornantur is basically impossible to render unconscious. Because this crucial step can’t be done, taming this can be a challenge! Known Information: Being immune to knockout poisons, and being unable to pierce the thick chitin of the insects, the species have learned to coexist. They often even hunt largeRead More →

Dossier Wild: Stegosaurus regium has approximately 16 paired rows of plates along its back, flanked by another smaller pair of 6 plates. This is contrary to the alternating rows of Stegosaurus fossils found in museums. I’ve encountered Stegosaurus, in varying amounts almost everywhere on the island. Domesticated: Commonly used as a safe way to transport large quantities of goods. The plates on the Stegosaurus regium double as a cover against the arrows of the attackers. Unfortunately, they also make it harder to load and unload some cargo. The Stegosaurus attacks by swinging its spiked tail at the opponent, which has a wide area of attack. Care must be taken not to anger any nearbyRead More →
