I think the leviathan fits best on the Center. That ocean gets super deep and you'd expect to see something huge down there. The hydra I think could fit pretty well on most of the noncanon maps.
ARK would be the perfect setting for a decent horror mod. Most of these creatures would be an amazing addition. Kelpie and Wendigo shocked me by not making the final cut, but I'm glad they got an honorable mention. Hydra's placement was a no-brainer, lol! Great video, as always!! :)
In terms of fantasy tames, I don't know how they'd work, but I always wanted more elemental golems like Fire, Water, Earth (meaning similar to the Forest Titan), etc.
@@arkking552 I mean completely different elements. I mean Earth in a sense of like Vines or Vegetation (more of a stretch the others), and the X-Rock Elemental is more lava than pure fire. Although, admittedly I have no idea how we'd get a saddle to make sense on them since flames aren't solid and it would need to be similar to the Magmasaur's saddle that protects you from extreme heat.
@@balderodinson502 Yeah! I couldn't word it how I was intending, but they'd disguise themselves as trees instead of rocks. Water elementals could hide in puddles or bodies of water. Fire is tough though since there's not harvestable/interactable thing that fits fire.
The really nice thing about fantasy creatures is that they really attract the attention of modders! I can name off mods for almost every creature featured in this video that either plans to add or has already added one of these mythological beasties! ARK: The Sunken World has a lot of the aquatics like the kelpie and hippocampus The Additional Creatures series has a whole cryptic based sub category with things like Mothman and the like Monsters and More adds in an eastern dragon inspired critter Kraken’s Better Dinos actually adds in functionality to the unicorn that allows it to transform into a Pegasus! With cross platform mods coming to ASA, everyone can look forward to enjoying messing around with these beasts from legend!
13:25 -Top Ten New Prehistoric Creatures People want to see in Ark 2 -Top Ten Map Exclusive Creatures -Top Ten Birds in Ark(extra fitting since currently the moa is the first bird to make it into a community final vote) Bonus that I’m separating because it’s a little different. How about a top ten favorite community creature suggestions? By this I mean going back and looking at the creatures who made it into final community votes and didn’t win, but were still loved and popular and are still things that should be added. What runner up did the community like the most?
@@Sabergamer2001 imagine just wandering in a forest nearby gathering some wood and then a wendigo just crashes you off your mount and scares the shit out of you no thank you, imagine they add scary noises to it aswell 💀 for example when a snow owl is nearby you hear hoot hoot but think about the noise that thing would be making
Thanks for talking about my suggestion, it was interesting to know what people wanted. I think a lot of these creatures would actually make great bosses. I also like the new video editing style, looking forward for the next top ten.
The Hydra would definitely fit as Mini-Bosses around the map on Extinction to test yourself on before summoning the Titans. Maybe guarding Element Veins instead of corrupted waves.
I would love to see mythological creatures in ARK, but I would also love to see new fantasy creatures made from scratch wildcards (like shadowmane, magmasaur, ...) I hope that with the new DLC canon they introduce some creature made from scratch. Nice video!
This was such a great and in-depth video! Love how you not only spoke of the origins of these creatures, but also a suggestion of where they could fit into the Ark world. I got hit with nostalgia when you mentioned the Sinbad series, I used to watch it when I was a kid and I loved it! ( Also the "hello beastie" moment, perfect 😂)
Gee, you really left us hanging! I wonder what the full story of the Greek minotaur is! What a great followup video to make for us, Raas! Surely with some helpful imagery!
Man every single one of these creatures would be awesome, even the special mentions! Hopefully we'll see something like these either on current maps or (dare I hope) new maps that Wildcard give us!
I allways felt like Ark devs missed good opportunity to implement fantastic creatures into the game... Imagine if there was one more Ark in the story, Ark that was based on human myths from all over the world... As for Hydra... It should be swamp based monster, not ocean based... There's one creature that wasn't on the list, that I think would be cool and very easy to implement is a kind of tree creature(Ent/Leshy) All they would need to do would be to just size down forest titan tbh
I love the ideas but many of them couldn’t fit too be your tames but i would love to see them as bosses because they look more like bosses and they look to op for taming
Would love a Minotaur-Labyrinth Genesis Mission. We could have to survive long enough to find tools to slay it and the mission is complete when we defeat it. Would be way better than half of the missions they have now and would fit the purpose of the system to test us.
Hydra could be added in as a mini boss with five to nine heads depending on level, with a mechanic where you need to wear it down and decapitate heads while it’s on fire (to prevent regen) until you are down to two secondary heads and a main head, an you need a mech per two or perhaps an elemental golem per secondary head to grab and hold down its heads while you do something to the primary head to knock or out to tame Or even decapitate all secondary heads successfully then cut off the main head, and take it with you to a special tek structure that’s a chemical vat that you place the head in to regrow a new body as a tamed hydra
A chimera by definition is a creature with more than one parts of two different animals. The Greeks story have just made the chimera always seem to be lion, snake and goat. But I'd still love to see all of them in Ark
I got in love with fjordur because my work is related to religion and other cultures and mythology, fenrir may not be a god devouring beast as it is in Norse mythology but it's interesting to see how wildcard put it to work You should do an video about things people want in ark (features, not dinos by example all dino breeding etc)
@@Raasclark Fair enough, i was thinking about a similar theme because i wanted to do see other stuff in the votes, by example more realistic dinosaurs so carnivores would fight each other, this would make such creatures as the giga become a real threat considering it's killing not just herbivores Also kinda cool to see that you actually read comments, there's TH-camrs who don't do it, that's an lovable and awesome quality you have raas, keep the content going and have a good week mate
wish ark had bosses on the map, instead of having to grind for months + just to fight one. Takes the fun out of it and our motivation. Especially if you play solo, without easy mode mods
Nice to hear somebody else loves those old Ray Harryhausen movies! I didnt vote for any of these but had a good laugh that the only ones that seemed interesting where ones that just didn't cut it :D How good would a shoulder pet Kitsune be that insulates you with it's tails and has a targeted hypnotic effect that works like a harpoon and net projectile?
Raas, I would like to see you play monster hunter world, maybe a mini series with veno or someone might be fun, or just a vid to see if people like it. Either way keep up all your awesome content! 👍
Honestly, more humanoid tames like the Minotaur would be cool. Make it like a Gigantopithecus but with a Charge attack and able to harvest Meat. I think a Pixie shoulder pet would be cute too. And definitely more Elemental golems.
i know it missed the cut but god id love the kitsune to be added in. I've been wanting a fox besides the jerboa for so long. make it the size of a direwolf but give it invisibility like the shadowmane and rock drake due to how sneaky foxes can be.
Definitely would love new water creatures especially scary boss ones also a leviathan swimming around the ring under the center would be dope and easier to just keep one world boss leviathan confined to the ring of water on the center
I loved the video and ideas but they’re where still many creatures that you missed which where the amphithere which could be a sky yuti that spawns in crystal isles and extinction, lost island, and gen2, the lindwyrn that could clock itself the spawns in fjordur and aberration and gen 1, the thunderbird which would spawn in scorched earth during thunderstorms, and ragnarok, and crystal isles, th cockatrices which could wake up knocked out creatures and spawns in the center, scorched earth, and valguero, a for legged dragon that would be like the sky spino spawning on extinction, gen 1 and 2, valguero, ragnarok, lost island, the center, and fjordur. And the jackalope that could harvest carrots from bushes and spawns in every single map. I hope you like my ideas. And I hope it’s not too much for you to put at lease 4 Four creatures I mentioned
Fun fact: Leviathan was mentioned in the Bible in relation to crocodilian or other similar large reptilian creatures But an ARK version would be incredible
Pegasus ,chupacabra , or the Rake... chupacabra on scorched earth... see there eyes glowing at night . The Pegasus on any map they hang out around valleys and rocky outcrops areas . The Rake a night time creature that tends to prowl around structures with glowing white eyes and is fast, any map !
Hear me out, a map based off Ancient Greece. Cerberus, Minotaur, hydra all that good stuff. Ruins like the buildings in Athens, new armor skins from beating the boss. Personally I think that would be sick.
Honestly, I would love to see some of these fantasy beats replaced the bosses being repurposed on maps like Valgeuro, Ragnarok, The Center or Fjordur. Or add mini bosses, (like brood mother on Valgeuro) to maps like Crystal isles or the lost isles
Really hoping to see them branch out, specifically for the center, if that happens I think the creature I came up with could completely shift how people play the map
Honestly, the fantasy creatures wildcard comes up with are so much better then anything from mythology, let’s be honest a horse with a lions head is the maximum of their creativity
interesting line up not sure I agree with it all though as there are so many other Mythology Creatures out there, but nice video nonetheless Raas, I am more interested in seeing creatures that are completely new and made up by community members rather than being from already set mythology, I always like seeing what brand new creatures people come up with
Chimera in its modern form could really be more like a grotesque mish mash of creatures. Perhaps at home in rockwells inards or being a new corrupt monstrosity. So ill make that here is an essay. In a normal version i think a mess of creatures works well. Imagine a creature with the body of a thyla, scales of a sarco, armor of an anky, spikes of a kentro, legs of a procoptodon, feet of a raptor, arms of a gigantopithecus, claws of a Therizino, the neck of a carno, horns of a trike, trumpet of para, the frill of a dilo, jaws of a megalo, eyes of tuso, teeth of a megapirhana, the long wispy tail of a diplo, and a leech head at the end of said tail. A horrorifying and rare elusive beast with great power. I think instead of a helena dossier as we have normally it would be awesome to have this creature referenced in one nerva's stone tablets. Or something like that. A creature that shrouds itself in mist and roams the dense forests of the island at night. At blazing speed inflicting annihilation upon like the night feeder in primal. Something unatural, rare, and horrifying. Yet mystic and wonderous. That concept was tameable and for something like the island. In a corrupt concept. We can be more grotesque. Having a giga sized creature walking with a limp on all fours. With a mess of 2 main legs and 2 main arms like a leg of a giga, a leg of a bronto, a rexes head and torso, and metallic tek ruins all covered in corruption make up its arms and legs. While the disfigured rex face acts as claw. Leading to mess of arms, legs, and heads coveing its shoulders and hips and corruption holding it all together. Entreals and organs, exposed bones, gore and viscera along the sides of a massive torso made of stegos and ankies stitched together. And the otherside being gears, plates, stones, and bones all cemented together by the corruption. With a tuso's beak in its chest that could open to reveal the throats of wyverns and blast a elemental beam. Burning, freezing, bleeding, scauilding, poisoning, shocking, and blasting its foes. Tentacles and screaming faces on necks like tentacles streaming from its armored back. The heads coming from sauropods, arthropods, humans and more. 2 tails made of liquid element spitting basilisks with broken jaws and empty bleeding eye sockets turned to husks by corruption. A longish pliosaur like neck with a 5th main limb poking out the side like a giant fleshy mantis claw made of human parts and corruption. A mess of tendrils forming a shaggy flesh beard on the underside of the neck and fina from reapers and wyvern wings. 2 or 3 heads sit atop this neck a long thin skull like a spino that splits down the middle making the zombie like exposed jaws split in 4 directions with a titanoboa for a tongue. The second head being a mammoth with a leech mouth below its trunk and corrupt element nodes growing from its tusks. The main heaf could be a giant raptor head with trike horns that vomits like experimental giga execept the giant raptor head is made of mutilated raptor heads. The beast would have wings but wouldnt fly these could be made of a mix of parts from broken meks and a healthy mix of pachyrhinos and pteranodons to make three tattered garagantuan wings. This would only spawn from the red and purple orbital drops or in the blood hollows. Maybe even being restricted to an eclipse event. That was a untamable and massive extinction concept. Probably goaing toe to toe with the the titano and space whale. Gen 2 i think could be something like the graphorn from hogawrts legacy or perhaps something tolkien inspired. But it would also have a thin and starving look to its body. A seeker like face with the back slits too. No tentacles though, instesd a long thin snout like an ardvark. With a long thin tongue and sharp needle like teeth that are completely black. A fleshy composure as if only covered in a thin layer of raw slimy skin. A more a more lizard like body shape with but with the skull of a bird. It might walk on its hind limbs very akwardly and run quickly on all sixes. Having 2 pairs of arms for sticking to the walls of Rockwell. A stubby and flaring lobster like tail with no shell. Hands like littele scythes as if they were bird wings with no Feathers. And finally a bunch of eyes on its snout, some wolf ears on its hips, a giant vertical mouth where its sternum should be. Skin covering the eye sockets of the bird skull. The fins of its tail would lengthen like 5 little ribbons that are actually eels. Around its ardvark snout it would also have 4 trap ant jaws. Inside its mouth would be a leech for a tongue. Maybe tameable but im not sure. Definitely the smallest, only being a bit bigger than the player but standing shorter. Summary for chimera concepts For the first concept think of it as a super agile mega hybrid that in general body size is close to a carno with paleo carno or raptor like movements, and a greater length. Being a tameable normal creature with mix of reptiles, birds, dinosaurs, and mammals. Intended to be fast and good at ending the living's free trial of existence. The second is a groteswue corruption "mini-boss" concept basically designed to make either the blood hollows truly a place to fear or just to make orbital drops that much harder. The third is a smaller more humanoid yet also more fleshy rockwell resident. Designed as a new friend or foe to disgust you. I dont think we need more lions. We have a manticore, griffin, and the shadowmane. Plus the thyla which is a false lion even in name despite not being a cat and its closest relatives, are creatures like the Possum. Now even saying that i think a shadowmane or normal lion, shinehorn, titanboa could be interesting.
Now in EU 5 the creature creators MOD will have a lot of work to make all these creatures a reality, some of the mentioned already exist in mods like Pyria Mythos and Atlas Additions.
Id love to see alot of these added and I also just thought that some of these are already added in Pixark so why not Ark xD Theres already a pegasus, hippocampus, and I think even a chinese dragon on that sky map. They would just more intense, more for adults on Ark lol. I love horses and dragons so Id be pretty excited about creatures similar to them xD
People assume Grapeshot and Wildcard share some base core accepts because of Snail but this is actually incorrect. While the two survival games reference the base accepts created by the same creator, that creator is not Snail. Thou they could be related in some capacity its doubted since the creator in question does have quite a library of base fair use accepts; key words there being fair use. it is actually simply a preference for the same accepts that are classified as fair use and are present in some Indi survival games as well. So fun fact I asked a while ago peoples opinion on what would happen if say Grapeshot and Wildcard came together to kick Snail out of their games for the countless controversies they started (and oh boy is that a rabbit hole that goes further than Tea tribe's current STUNT) do you think we could see one giant game? if so what features would you like to see? I for one would love the ship building and freshwater/saltwater mechanics. I think it would be intriguing to force players to have to find fresh water sources or rely on juices form berries and fruits until they could successfully make grog or other more portable hydration methods.
Potential Spawn locations and variants Kirin Mini-boss on Fjordur in the Vannaheim realm Untamable Hippocampus A Gen1 mid-game(lvl 50 saddle unlock) Sea mount and appearing in Genesis Pt2 S.U.M.P with an R variation Tameable Chimera A Scorched Earth Boss that appears in the Buried Coliseum This will play a role as SE version of the Broodmother If the Manticore is the Dragon Chimera is the Broodmother Untamable Cerberus Make it spawn on Ragnarök in the Volcano biome at a low chance And give it a Genesis X variant Mid-Late game tame(lvl 60 saddle) Tameable Minotaur The Megapithecus of Scorched Earth Untameable Oriental Dragons Found on the Floating Island on The Center map With possible Variants with X on Gen 1 Lunar Biome Late game(lvl 70 saddle) Tameable Kraken The 4th Boss of Fjordur Terminal found in the Mosa/Tuso Cavern on Fjordur Requires the Kirin Relic and alpha tributes Untamable The Leviathan The Terror of the deep that only fears the Kraken VERY ENDGAME(lvl 100 saddle unlocks) This is the Apex predator of Genesis Pt 1 with an Aberrat variant on Fjordur Only the Daring and the Fools look to tame this mighty monster Tameable And finally The Hydra This monsters leaves no survivors in its wake A monster so chaotic it can rival the titans with its wrath Only found on Extinction in the Sulfur Fields This Titan can breath all elemental breath attacks(Fire Lighting Poison Ice) but this monster has one more breath attack up its scales Bile This Titan has a 5th head that breaths a substance similar to Ammonite Bile and it has the same effect This monster of a Titan should be avoided by any means Only the foolish even dare to awaken it Tameable* *this Titan is tameable like the other 3 titans but another note Killing it will give you an Hydrake A smaller less aggressive version of the Hydra similar to obtaining a Fenrir each Hydrake has 3 heads and only the 3 basic breath attacks If you want Ice and Bile they are a super SUPER rare chance of getting a 5 headed Hydrake They are breedable but only in the sulfur fields of Extinction*
Alright so after some brainstorming Here's what I got for how to tame them For the Kirin As I mentioned Untameable The Hippocampus It will be a passive tame If you're brave enough to confront it It will stand it's ground and try to push you away Stand your ground If it realized you're a courageous survivor It will allow you to feed it Ammonite Bile(they actually eat this in mythology) Afterward you can make a saddle at lvl 56 The Chimera It's a SE boss Untameable Just like the Manticore Boss fight is at the obelisk but it's Arena is the Coliseum I don't have a move set ot stats for any of these Cerberus It's a passive but you can't aggro it You need Sauropod Vertebrae Just give the doggy a bone and he'll be loyal It will have the Mane taming method but with Sauropod Vertebrae BUT Nothing can be around it It's very aggressive and will only lay down if nothing is nearby After you tame this You can either ride it without a saddle but you will be roasting Saddle provides temperature protection (like a Magma saddle) and is unlocked at lvl 66 The Oriental Dragons They are highly intelligent and ferocious Especially when protecting their homes Show them you can protect their homes by bringing it gifts(tribute items) Some will only accept certain items kinda like moschops If one doesn't want Rex arms it probably wants argy claws If you can successfully tame one You can make it's saddle at lvl 79 Minotaur Untameable Boss fight at the Obelisk And it will teleport you into the sunken City of Nosti(the Church cave on SE but it's a completely different area) The Kraken The new boss on Fjordur It's Terminal like the other 3 are in a cave and has a tribute list Bring the terminal the Kirin Relic and alpha tributes and you may fight it It's Terminal is located in the Abyssal Depths(the Mosa/Tuso cave) in Jörmungandr Skull do bring a radiation suit for that part Bring tames that are powerful and can't be grabbed by the Mighty Kraken like the Leviathan Speaking of the Leviathan To tame this monster of the deep It's home is on Gen1 It is a passive tame To do so You must swim down there Leave your mounts behind for they are considered a meal to the beast You are hardly worth its time You must bring it Tuso Tentacles and just swim up to feed it It's an easy tame No different from taming gigatopitecus But the really trouble is that you must be lvl 95 to be worthy and the creatures that lurk in the deep No mounts meaning no real way to defend yourself If you are victorious in acquiring one You must be lvl 100 to craft its saddle One that can act like a submarine and can use to haul tames around Now for the Titanic Hydra It is tamebale like the Forest Titan and it's brothers But to do so There are 3 nodes like the rest 1 on its back And the other 3 at the base of the neck of head 2 and 4(poison and Ice head) It is no different from taming the others But this isn't why you're here You want a Hydrake Hydrake are only obtained by kill the Hydra(taming it will get rid of the Hydrake(s)) After you kill the Serpant Titan you can check its lair for eggs There will be 1-3 for every fight you do You can take them home to hatch After that Feed them large amounts of meat They'll grow to the size of a rex in body size Length wise almost a bronto As for a saddle They do not have one To make up for it They have a 25% armor similar to reapers And this is all I have If you are reading this Tell me your ideas about this Thanks and have a good day
To be fair, when I thought of "Fantasy" creatures for Ark these real world mythological stuff popped up. What about stuff that would actually feel at home on the Arks?
Is it just me or would anyone else want all the creatures that are on these votes to make it into the game throughtout all maps? Right now for instance ocean biome seems a little behind compared to others with unique creatures. Perhaps oceans on all maps could be expanded with more unique creatures and perhaps even engrams with items and stuctures more suitable underwater.
I think the leviathan fits best on the Center. That ocean gets super deep and you'd expect to see something huge down there.
The hydra I think could fit pretty well on most of the noncanon maps.
Or the Tuso Trench on Ragnarok.
Cerberus actually sounds like a good boss
A boss you get to keep, like the Fenrir.
Spot does sound like a good Boss
Cerberus means SPOT.....pffff

@@BlastHeart96 oh I see what you mean
The really nice thing about fantasy creatures is that they really attract the attention of modders! I can name off mods for almost every creature featured in this video that either plans to add or has already added one of these mythological beasties!
ARK: The Sunken World has a lot of the aquatics like the kelpie and hippocampus
The Additional Creatures series has a whole cryptic based sub category with things like Mothman and the like
Monsters and More adds in an eastern dragon inspired critter
Kraken’s Better Dinos actually adds in functionality to the unicorn that allows it to transform into a Pegasus!
With cross platform mods coming to ASA, everyone can look forward to enjoying messing around with these beasts from legend!

This Raas video
Im just gonna say Greek Mythology slaps when it comes to fantasy creatures!! It’s so fascinating to read and learn about.
100%
Only fantasy beast I'd like would be a corporation that care about the people that buy their product............
I think Valguero would make a great home for the leviathan. In the underground ocean, the aesthetics of it already being terrifying would be perfect
Prehistoric + Fantasy + Science Fiction = ARK creatures :)

🦊A Kitsune or a Fox like Critter would be Amazing!! 😻💕
Like the end boss in okami
Hydra could be added in as a mini boss with five to nine heads depending on level, with a mechanic where you need to wear it down and decapitate heads while it’s on fire (to prevent regen) until you are down to two secondary heads and a main head, an you need a mech per two or perhaps an elemental golem per secondary head to grab and hold down its heads while you do something to the primary head to knock or out to tame
Or even decapitate all secondary heads successfully then cut off the main head, and take it with you to a special tek structure that’s a chemical vat that you place the head in to regrow a new body as a tamed hydra
Cerberus has 3 heads and should have the ability to switch lightning fire and poison and be a PvP mount with giant leap.
A chimera by definition is a creature with more than one parts of two different animals. The Greeks story have just made the chimera always seem to be lion, snake and goat. But I'd still love to see all of them in Ark

@@Raasclark Fair enough, i was thinking about a similar theme because i wanted to do see other stuff in the votes, by example more realistic dinosaurs so carnivores would fight each other, this would make such creatures as the giga become a real threat considering it's killing not just herbivores

wish ark had bosses on the map, instead of having to grind for months + just to fight one.
Takes the fun out of it and our motivation. Especially if you play solo, without easy mode mods

A few of these are in PixArk. Great video as always. Plus loving the Atlas videos as well!
A lot are also in Pyria
Love the inclusion of Minoton from Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger! Love that film ❤

Need to have an Ent like creature like tree beard. I’m throwing that idea into the ring Raas
Definitely would love new water creatures especially scary boss ones also a leviathan swimming around the ring under the center would be dope and easier to just keep one world boss leviathan confined to the ring of water on the center
Honestly I'm just excited for any of these, though my boy wants Cerberus as it's his favorite. Minotaur would be sick though..🤔😊
This is going to come off as shocking, but the Minotaur would be amazing.
I loved the video and ideas but they’re where still many creatures that you missed which where the amphithere which could be a sky yuti that spawns in crystal isles and extinction, lost island, and gen2, the lindwyrn that could clock itself the spawns in fjordur and aberration and gen 1, the thunderbird which would spawn in scorched earth during thunderstorms, and ragnarok, and crystal isles, th cockatrices which could wake up knocked out creatures and spawns in the center, scorched earth, and valguero, a for legged dragon that would be like the sky spino spawning on extinction, gen 1 and 2, valguero, ragnarok, lost island, the center, and fjordur. And the jackalope that could harvest carrots from bushes and spawns in every single map. I hope you like my ideas. And I hope it’s not too much for you to put at lease 4
Four creatures I mentioned
My favs t hydra. Pegasus. Kitsume. Hippokompoi. Id also love to see werewolf and harpys.
I think there is a Hippocampus in ATLAS as well as the Hydra & the Kraken.
Fun fact: Leviathan was mentioned in the Bible in relation to crocodilian or other similar large reptilian creatures
But an ARK version would be incredible
Pegasus ,chupacabra , or the Rake... chupacabra on scorched earth... see there eyes glowing at night . The Pegasus on any map they hang out around valleys and rocky outcrops areas . The Rake a night time creature that tends to prowl around structures with glowing white eyes and is fast, any map !
Hear me out, a map based off Ancient Greece. Cerberus, Minotaur, hydra all that good stuff. Ruins like the buildings in Athens, new armor skins from beating the boss. Personally I think that would be sick.
I would love to see Jormungandr or Thor himself be a boss fight, and unique ones too
I’m a big Godzilla fan so seeing those references of Godzilla got more of my attention 😂
If they added other master AIs to genesis 1 I could see the Hydra being the boss for the volcanic biome.
Great suggestion
Having played with an Atlas mod on Crystal Isles, it's also an AMAZING map for them. The White Shoals are a very fitting biome for instance
Honestly, I would love to see some of these fantasy beats replaced the bosses being repurposed on maps like Valgeuro, Ragnarok, The Center or Fjordur. Or add mini bosses, (like brood mother on Valgeuro) to maps like Crystal isles or the lost isles
As an Aussie, would be cool to see a drop bear or a bunyip in Ark
Really hoping to see them branch out, specifically for the center, if that happens I think the creature I came up with could completely shift how people play the map
Honestly, the fantasy creatures wildcard comes up with are so much better then anything from mythology, let’s be honest a horse with a lions head is the maximum of their creativity
holy shit, these are all so cool, imagine a map with just fantasy creatures.
Thank you so much for saying Heracules' name correctly!
Took me 10 attempts
Having something like a drop bear or Mimic would be cool or more elemental golems
hey raas always been loving the content, i gotta ask how often will you be releasing dox episodes?
As often as I can mate, ngl tho it's bloody brutal atm lol. Tryin to aim for 3 a week
Happy Tuesday all!
interesting line up not sure I agree with it all though as there are so many other Mythology Creatures out there, but nice video nonetheless Raas, I am more interested in seeing creatures that are completely new and made up by community members rather than being from already set mythology, I always like seeing what brand new creatures people come up with
i love all the Godzilla references 😂❤
Chimera in its modern form could really be more like a grotesque mish mash of creatures. Perhaps at home in rockwells inards or being a new corrupt monstrosity.
So ill make that here is an essay.
In a normal version i think a mess of creatures works well. Imagine a creature with the body of a thyla, scales of a sarco, armor of an anky, spikes of a kentro, legs of a procoptodon, feet of a raptor, arms of a gigantopithecus, claws of a Therizino, the neck of a carno, horns of a trike, trumpet of para, the frill of a dilo, jaws of a megalo, eyes of tuso, teeth of a megapirhana, the long wispy tail of a diplo, and a leech head at the end of said tail.
A horrorifying and rare elusive beast with great power.
I think instead of a helena dossier as we have normally it would be awesome to have this creature referenced in one nerva's stone tablets. Or something like that. A creature that shrouds itself in mist and roams the dense forests of the island at night. At blazing speed inflicting annihilation upon like the night feeder in primal. Something unatural, rare, and horrifying. Yet mystic and wonderous.
That concept was tameable and for something like the island.
In a corrupt concept. We can be more grotesque. Having a giga sized creature walking with a limp on all fours. With a mess of 2 main legs and 2 main arms like a leg of a giga, a leg of a bronto, a rexes head and torso, and metallic tek ruins all covered in corruption make up its arms and legs. While the disfigured rex face acts as claw. Leading to mess of arms, legs, and heads coveing its shoulders and hips and corruption holding it all together. Entreals and organs, exposed bones, gore and viscera along the sides of a massive torso made of stegos and ankies stitched together. And the otherside being gears, plates, stones, and bones all cemented together by the corruption. With a tuso's beak in its chest that could open to reveal the throats of wyverns and blast a elemental beam. Burning, freezing, bleeding, scauilding, poisoning, shocking, and blasting its foes. Tentacles and screaming faces on necks like tentacles streaming from its armored back. The heads coming from sauropods, arthropods, humans and more. 2 tails made of liquid element spitting basilisks with broken jaws and empty bleeding eye sockets turned to husks by corruption. A longish pliosaur like neck with a 5th main limb poking out the side like a giant fleshy mantis claw made of human parts and corruption. A mess of tendrils forming a shaggy flesh beard on the underside of the neck and fina from reapers and wyvern wings. 2 or 3 heads sit atop this neck a long thin skull like a spino that splits down the middle making the zombie like exposed jaws split in 4 directions with a titanoboa for a tongue. The second head being a mammoth with a leech mouth below its trunk and corrupt element nodes growing from its tusks. The main heaf could be a giant raptor head with trike horns that vomits like experimental giga execept the giant raptor head is made of mutilated raptor heads. The beast would have wings but wouldnt fly these could be made of a mix of parts from broken meks and a healthy mix of pachyrhinos and pteranodons to make three tattered garagantuan wings. This would only spawn from the red and purple orbital drops or in the blood hollows. Maybe even being restricted to an eclipse event.
That was a untamable and massive extinction concept. Probably goaing toe to toe with the the titano and space whale.
Gen 2 i think could be something like the graphorn from hogawrts legacy or perhaps something tolkien inspired. But it would also have a thin and starving look to its body. A seeker like face with the back slits too. No tentacles though, instesd a long thin snout like an ardvark. With a long thin tongue and sharp needle like teeth that are completely black. A fleshy composure as if only covered in a thin layer of raw slimy skin. A more a more lizard like body shape with but with the skull of a bird. It might walk on its hind limbs very akwardly and run quickly on all sixes. Having 2 pairs of arms for sticking to the walls of Rockwell. A stubby and flaring lobster like tail with no shell. Hands like littele scythes as if they were bird wings with no Feathers. And finally a bunch of eyes on its snout, some wolf ears on its hips, a giant vertical mouth where its sternum should be. Skin covering the eye sockets of the bird skull. The fins of its tail would lengthen like 5 little ribbons that are actually eels. Around its ardvark snout it would also have 4 trap ant jaws. Inside its mouth would be a leech for a tongue.
Maybe tameable but im not sure. Definitely the smallest, only being a bit bigger than the player but standing shorter.
Summary for chimera concepts
For the first concept think of it as a super agile mega hybrid that in general body size is close to a carno with paleo carno or raptor like movements, and a greater length. Being a tameable normal creature with mix of reptiles, birds, dinosaurs, and mammals. Intended to be fast and good at ending the living's free trial of existence.
The second is a groteswue corruption "mini-boss" concept basically designed to make either the blood hollows truly a place to fear or just to make orbital drops that much harder.
The third is a smaller more humanoid yet also more fleshy rockwell resident. Designed as a new friend or foe to disgust you.
I dont think we need more lions. We have a manticore, griffin, and the shadowmane. Plus the thyla which is a false lion even in name despite not being a cat and its closest relatives, are creatures like the Possum.
Now even saying that i think a shadowmane or normal lion, shinehorn, titanboa could be interesting.
Have ceburus guard underworld on the centre
Raas we need to get you into the Kraken fight in Atlas. ;)
You should do a Top 10 of all your Top 10 vids seeing how you only need 11 more vids in your Top 10 videos playlist
Maybe for vid 100 lol
Raas, how about top ten non flying travel creatures next?
More POLLS!!! i love these videos!
I actually would prefer Wendigo, Kitsune or Kelpie above the Hydra. Any one of those would be such a cool tame.
Okay but why do the honorable mentions sounds better than some of the ones on the list?? Especially a Wendigo!
Now in EU 5 the creature creators MOD will have a lot of work to make all these creatures a reality, some of the mentioned already exist in mods like Pyria Mythos and Atlas Additions.
Cerberus and Minotaur? Yes.
As long as were going on horse creatures i wish there was a sleipnir from norse myth. An 8 legged horse and odins personal mount.
It’s not the TOP 10 Fantasy Creatures we want in ARK
No it’s the TOP 10 Fantasy Creatures we NEED in ARK
Honey wake up raasclark uploaded 🎉
Love the vid
at first i was shocked there was no werewolf or vampire of some sort then i realized that is just the ferox and desmodus lol
I kinda wonder how Schylla would look if made in Ark. I imagine Charybdis would be a lot like Modor.
Quilin just sounds like a fancy Equs skin
My question did you ever play Monster Hunter?
YES! But very very briefly
Ohh you really gotta play more xd
It get's really intense.
Also which game did you play?
Kraken is already in ATLAS , also. But id like to see it in ARK. ^^
I still think there should be a Balor Demon (Balrog, for those not privy to D&D) or Pit Fiend boss lol
Id love to see alot of these added and I also just thought that some of these are already added in Pixark so why not Ark xD Theres already a pegasus, hippocampus, and I think even a chinese dragon on that sky map. They would just more intense, more for adults on Ark lol. I love horses and dragons so Id be pretty excited about creatures similar to them xD
The hail hydra was gold lol
Does anyone know the mod the kraken creature is? It look cool
You have a mod on ark i have seen with the minotaur in it, if you want to know 😅
People assume Grapeshot and Wildcard share some base core accepts because of Snail but this is actually incorrect. While the two survival games reference the base accepts created by the same creator, that creator is not Snail. Thou they could be related in some capacity its doubted since the creator in question does have quite a library of base fair use accepts; key words there being fair use. it is actually simply a preference for the same accepts that are classified as fair use and are present in some Indi survival games as well.
So fun fact I asked a while ago peoples opinion on what would happen if say Grapeshot and Wildcard came together to kick Snail out of their games for the countless controversies they started (and oh boy is that a rabbit hole that goes further than Tea tribe's current STUNT) do you think we could see one giant game? if so what features would you like to see? I for one would love the ship building and freshwater/saltwater mechanics. I think it would be intriguing to force players to have to find fresh water sources or rely on juices form berries and fruits until they could successfully make grog or other more portable hydration methods.
bro the eastern dragon would be so cool if they added it to the game
Cerberus would be cool in the center underworld
Ahhh kitsune, i proposed that
Potential Spawn locations and variants
Kirin
Mini-boss on Fjordur in the Vannaheim realm
Untamable
Hippocampus
A Gen1 mid-game(lvl 50 saddle unlock) Sea mount and appearing in Genesis Pt2 S.U.M.P with an R variation
Tameable
Chimera
A Scorched Earth Boss that appears in the Buried Coliseum
This will play a role as SE version of the Broodmother
If the Manticore is the Dragon
Chimera is the Broodmother
Untamable
Cerberus
Make it spawn on Ragnarök in the Volcano biome at a low chance
And give it a Genesis X variant
Mid-Late game tame(lvl 60 saddle)
Tameable
Minotaur
The Megapithecus of Scorched Earth
Untameable
Oriental Dragons
Found on the Floating Island on The Center map
With possible Variants with X on Gen 1 Lunar Biome
Late game(lvl 70 saddle)
Tameable
Kraken
The 4th Boss of Fjordur
Terminal found in the Mosa/Tuso Cavern on Fjordur
Requires the Kirin Relic and alpha tributes
Untamable
The Leviathan
The Terror of the deep that only fears the Kraken
VERY ENDGAME(lvl 100 saddle unlocks)
This is the Apex predator of Genesis Pt 1 with an Aberrat variant on Fjordur
Only the Daring and the Fools look to tame this mighty monster
Tameable
And finally
The Hydra
This monsters leaves no survivors in its wake
A monster so chaotic it can rival the titans with its wrath
Only found on Extinction in the Sulfur Fields
This Titan can breath all elemental breath attacks(Fire Lighting Poison Ice) but this monster has one more breath attack up its scales
Bile
This Titan has a 5th head that breaths a substance similar to Ammonite Bile and it has the same effect
This monster of a Titan should be avoided by any means
Only the foolish even dare to awaken it
Tameable*
*this Titan is tameable like the other 3 titans but another note
Killing it will give you an Hydrake
A smaller less aggressive version of the Hydra similar to obtaining a Fenrir each Hydrake has 3 heads and only the 3 basic breath attacks
If you want Ice and Bile they are a super SUPER rare chance of getting a 5 headed Hydrake
They are breedable but only in the sulfur fields of Extinction*
Alright so after some brainstorming
Here's what I got for how to tame them
For the Kirin
As I mentioned
Untameable
The Hippocampus
It will be a passive tame
If you're brave enough to confront it
It will stand it's ground and try to push you away
Stand your ground
If it realized you're a courageous survivor
It will allow you to feed it Ammonite Bile(they actually eat this in mythology)
Afterward you can make a saddle at lvl 56
The Chimera
It's a SE boss
Untameable
Just like the Manticore
Boss fight is at the obelisk but it's Arena is the Coliseum
I don't have a move set ot stats for any of these
Cerberus
It's a passive but you can't aggro it
You need Sauropod Vertebrae
Just give the doggy a bone and he'll be loyal
It will have the Mane taming method but with Sauropod Vertebrae
BUT
Nothing can be around it
It's very aggressive and will only lay down if nothing is nearby
After you tame this
You can either ride it without a saddle but you will be roasting
Saddle provides temperature protection (like a Magma saddle) and is unlocked at lvl 66
The Oriental Dragons
They are highly intelligent and ferocious
Especially when protecting their homes
Show them you can protect their homes by bringing it gifts(tribute items)
Some will only accept certain items kinda like moschops
If one doesn't want Rex arms it probably wants argy claws
If you can successfully tame one
You can make it's saddle at lvl 79
Minotaur
Untameable
Boss fight at the Obelisk
And it will teleport you into the sunken City of Nosti(the Church cave on SE but it's a completely different area)
The Kraken
The new boss on Fjordur
It's Terminal like the other 3 are in a cave and has a tribute list
Bring the terminal the Kirin Relic and alpha tributes and you may fight it
It's Terminal is located in the Abyssal Depths(the Mosa/Tuso cave) in Jörmungandr Skull do bring a radiation suit for that part
Bring tames that are powerful and can't be grabbed by the Mighty Kraken like the Leviathan
Speaking of the Leviathan
To tame this monster of the deep
It's home is on Gen1
It is a passive tame
To do so
You must swim down there
Leave your mounts behind for they are considered a meal to the beast
You are hardly worth its time
You must bring it Tuso Tentacles and just swim up to feed it
It's an easy tame
No different from taming gigatopitecus
But the really trouble is that you must be lvl 95 to be worthy and the creatures that lurk in the deep
No mounts meaning no real way to defend yourself
If you are victorious in acquiring one
You must be lvl 100 to craft its saddle
One that can act like a submarine and can use to haul tames around
Now for the Titanic Hydra
It is tamebale like the Forest Titan and it's brothers
But to do so
There are 3 nodes like the rest
1 on its back
And the other 3 at the base of the neck of head 2 and 4(poison and Ice head)
It is no different from taming the others
But this isn't why you're here
You want a Hydrake
Hydrake are only obtained by kill the Hydra(taming it will get rid of the Hydrake(s))
After you kill the Serpant Titan you can check its lair for eggs
There will be 1-3 for every fight you do
You can take them home to hatch
After that
Feed them large amounts of meat
They'll grow to the size of a rex in body size
Length wise almost a bronto
As for a saddle
They do not have one
To make up for it
They have a 25% armor similar to reapers
And this is all I have
If you are reading this
Tell me your ideas about this
Thanks and have a good day
To be fair, when I thought of "Fantasy" creatures for Ark these real world mythological stuff popped up. What about stuff that would actually feel at home on the Arks?
Really wish mods and custom maps would come to console im sure I’d be able to have whatever creatures I could think of then 😭
Is it just me or would anyone else want all the creatures that are on these votes to make it into the game throughtout all maps? Right now for instance ocean biome seems a little behind compared to others with unique creatures. Perhaps oceans on all maps could be expanded with more unique creatures and perhaps even engrams with items and stuctures more suitable underwater.
Leviathan is in the game. Well dead it’s the big serpent in fjordur
Mods mods mods. What the devs dont give us can usually be found in the Mods. God loves the Mods.
Doesn't the very etymology of the word 'Unicorn' indicate that it in fact has but ONE horn?😆😂🤣
Leviathan should be the main boss on an Atlantis map.
Leviathan is the most epic hands down if it is put in it wil need to be 2.5 times the size of the king titain minimum
the hydra is not a sea creature, it is a land creature that can swim
Pixark already took the hippocampus lol
Sinbad and, clash of titans. My first time I learnt about myths
Right there with you!
Atlas is so underrated
I understand why Kelpie didn't win, I dont think players want to try tame an horse then get molded to the horse and drown.
