Is this a documentary about Ark or a mythology?
Fasolasauchus! ive missed a few now. binge time!
since i played scorched earth on ark ase im not able to sleep i do too much nihtmare bcs of the deathworm i got kicked from megatribe cuz i was too scared to farm black pearl on map for us to get tek replicator help
Great video. Always wanted to see something like this series! I was/ am a huge nerd about anicent creatures (Mostly Aquatic Reptiles and "Insects" from the Carbon) but lost interest over time. Currently I am rediscovering ark and my love for such things. And videos like this one are exactly what I love to watch while doing metal runs or similar boring tasks! Loved it!
thank you so much for this comment, it's really made my day 😃
chirstrians against dinosaur:"NoOoOO, tHEy WeREnt MenTIOneD In A 20o0 YeAr OlD BoOK EVeN YoU kNoW ThAt DinOSauRS WeRNt FOunD UNtiL 18o0 YeaRS AftEr"
procoptodon. ive played scortched allot back in survival evolved days never knew morelladon, thankyou for this cool fact
Maybe I'm crazy but it shares a shocking amount of visual similarity to pug moth caterpillars! The grasping limbs on the front are what tipped me off to it
I had to Google those but I see what you mean!
@@skwirrelle and, they're ambush predators too! It might not have been intended but i think they're strong competitors for what it could be related to! Maybe neotenous like axoltols? 🤔
Fasolasuchus must be another mod I guess. Anyway, I think bobbit worms are really cool, and I'm happy to see them mentioned in an Ark video.
Its the new scorched dino, and I think they managed to launch this one in the game. And thank you 🦖
"But the real ones were no less impressive" Sure if you look at them from a kinda "everyone is special and I love you just the way you are" point of view.
Or a 500 million year evolutionary history and actually existing kinda way...
@@skwirrelle Fair enough actually.

I'm happy that the death worm isn't real. Not so happy about the alternatives being real.. fantastic as always Skwirrelle!
not the most comfortable video I've ever put together tbh, although I was pretty intrigued by how similar the bobbit worms head is to the deathworms. Thanks Dom
i love this series! could you make additional creatures's gigatitan or the thorny dragon?
Thanks 😊 I'll add gigatitan to the mod list! Thorny dragon will be along soon 🦖🦖
@@skwirrelle yay thank you!
You should do the mythical stuff too. Like explaining the difference between the wyvern and dragons, etc Also the art somehow made the deathworm cute
The wyvern/dragon this would be opening a can of worms I'm sure but it would be fun!
Of course this thing was real. The creature with the 2nd most powerful bite of all time, yes even more powerful than the trex but not as powerful as the megalodon
🐊🐊🐊
thats nice thx for the info
🦖🦖🦖
no
calming voice im subbing
Thank you 🦖🦖
Faso lo chu sus

Fasolasauchus! There's violent taming, and then there's Fasolasuchus taming.
This is so true!!
Oh god when you showed the real life footage of worms I freaked out, they freak me the hell out 😨😱😂😂 BOBBIT WORMS, such a cute name for a gross creature
did you look up the story about Lorena Bobbit? The name isn't that cute... 😂 but, you're welcome for the creepy worm footage!!
There was a prehistoric Bobbit Worm the size of a shark I believe so you also have that to compare.
oh i didn't come across that one, that would have been cool to include
@@skwirrelle it’s a less recent find so I’m not too sure if it’s a valid genus anymore but Trey the Explainer did a video on it if I remember correctly.
@@gendygoblin8391 I'll have to go check it out
Do the crocodile from scorched earth
the kapro?
@@skwirrelle yes
the croc from scorched earth is fascilosuchas(idk if i spelt it right)
@@SkorpSam I wondered if they meant that, and it's the next video, but it's not really a croc in the game. The kapro is the one that lives near the water.
love the deathworm! did you know in its original concept art there are baby and juvenile forms implying it was going to be tameable and breedable at one point
I didn't know that, that would have been really cool!
what's even cooler is the taming method was going to be you need to find & kill an alpha Deathworm because its guarding a "nest" containing their blueish sand grain sized eggs & to incubate you needed a Vessel(Salt storage jar) after incubation there would be a "gestating" period in which the Vessel would violently shake as the baby Death Worms ripped each other apart until only one survived & bursts from the Vessel, Requiring the player with bug repellant to tame it with Mantis eggs or Death work horns. This OG concept breeding was ripped from dune with the glowing Blueish sand grain sized eggs, & a Reference to the Japanese insect jar curse where in you place 100 poisonous insects in a jar & burry the jar for 10 days under the targets bed room, & dig it up to find the strongest insect to curse your target.
@@Torkkar that would have been a crazy cool taming method
@@skwirrelle too bad they ran short on time
@@Torkkarif someone was ever able to make this scrapped idea a mod that would be awesome
I know the next video was meant to be on Procoptodon, but I've had massive writers block for writing that script - so you have a video on the Deathworm instead. Procoptodon video is still on the way but next time we'll be looking at the Fasolosuchus.
Gave it the time needed ! If it doesn't spark, then it is not meant to be. :)
@p.e.s.t8305 that's a good way to look at it!
Bigfoot IS Real!

Sivatherium and one of the Ark's most beloved Dino
🦖🦖🦖
Morellatops The real Megalodon was a beast compared to Ark's version. I usually call it Raptor of the water
Yeah, it was a monster, arks version is a lot tamer for sure. 🦖🦖
I haven't tame one of these in the game yet but anyways your videos are very informative about prehistoric creatures Also I forgot to say Megalodon❤❤
Thanks so much 🦘🦘
Tiny bug Still I prefer the Ark one coz it carry rexes😆😆
It's definitely better than another tiny insect!!
Procoptodon! Morellatops face some how resembles the Ankylosaurus or not maybe🤔🤔
It does look a lot like the anky
Procoptodon. Very interesting stuff. Dinosaurs (and adjacent non-dinosaurs) are cool!
They are! 🦘🦘🦘
Procoptodon! Thank you for the efforts and details put in the video
Thank you 🦘🦘
These are my favorite dinosaur in the game tbh. Somewhat fast, and carry water. So I’m just gonna go tame some and bring them back to the island.
They're pretty cool tames. Enjoy them on the island!
Do Peggle mastics next?
It's cool to find someone who nerds out over the creatures in this game like I do. Morellatops does look like an animal you would find in the Permian.
Yeah it does, that would be the perfect period for it to hang out with all the other weird and wonderful lizardy looking creatures.
both this and the throny dragon are the only dinos i am courious about why they where made for ark scorched earth
the largest weight estimate for deinosuchus is 13.5 tonnes and 14 meters
Sometimes Ark wants to add a fantastical prehistoric creature that we see in fiction (Giant bugs! Super Bats! Island Carrying Sauropods) but tacks on an unfitting prehistoric name to it. And usually its because what they're envisioning doesnt exist. It's to be expected at this point that Ark creatures are scaled up by like 2 times, sometimes 3 or 4, but stuff like Desmodus and Rhyniognatha barely have any size to back up their depictions. Arthropluera, Pulmonscorpius, Meganeura, even if oversized, could honestly be bigger to fit the fantasy of the island and few would complain. If the sizing was consistent, Rhyniognatha would be the size of a raptor.
it almost like your playing a video game where realism isn't that important....
@@zachdillenger5468 never said it was bad dude
😮 "Launch" and "new" HAHAHAHAHA No! Ya'll just new and I'm to broke atm to drop a $100 buying all this shit again. Did it once with beta from pc to xbox before Scorch first launched in 2017.
Late to the party but enjoying your videos and description about dinos❤❤
Thanks so much 🦖
Honestly this is the one creature in Ark that actually completely shocked me that it *wasn't* a real creature
I was pretty shocked too to be honest. I guess I just kinda assumed it must be real
I think everyone has tried this before
Procoptodon!

Procoptodon

In order to support an insect of such vast size, the Ark must be INCREDIBLY oxygen saturated. Possibly even poisonously so.
Thats a very good point!
