As a quick tip: the only decent counter for microraptors that I know of is to just always have your mount on neutral when exploring. That way, while you’re stunned, your mount will just kill them for you
Microraptors don't aggro if ur high enough on the sky which you should in redwoods and at large creatures they don't aggro like a rex Tested with an lvl 150 allo, was able to walk into a microraptor and it ignored me completely.

One of the biggest soul crushing realizations you can have as both an Ark player and a person interested in prehistoric fauna is realizing that while there are dozens of iconic and incredible prehistoric dinosaurs, mammals, birds, insects, and aquatic creatures have not been added while things like the troodon, pego and ichthyornis have.
Fun video suggestion: Top 10 annoying Dinos that don’t hurt/kill you. I’m sure there’s better examples but the dolphins come to mind - “stop following me!”
A top 10 dinos that players think should be removed from the game would be interesting! I'm not sure if they would end up being different or similar to this list.
I have what some would call an unpopular opinion on that subject: at least everything that isn't dinosaurs or mythological creatures must go because the rest are BS and/or game-breaking and unbalanced as hell.
@@fbiopentfup The original flyers: Pteradon, Argentavis, Tapejara, and Quetzel can stay, and maybe a nerfed/balanced Wyvern, but all others, gliders included, must go. There are three sea creatures in particular that I despise: Tusoteuthis, Electrophorus, and Leedsichthys (boat-breaking mother fu---); they could all go and I would celebrate the additional freedom of Assassins Navy (my usual tribe name)! I don't mind the shoulder pets too much, but as broken as it is, I still love me some Fjordhawk fast-travel for resource collecting...
This list should be separated based on if you're a PvE vs a PvP player. I'm assuming some of the entries will be very different to see. It could be interesting.
Have to agree on all of those. I didn’t realized one sea creature was immune to the jellyfish, I always used my Spino and didn’t get stunned off because of the reach it has. Yet for now playing on Fjordur I only have a Sarco to help…
A few thousand hours into Ark, and microrapters weren't really that bad for me after the first few times I met them... although to be fair, I almost always wear ghillie armor, so that could be why. The seagull things are a delicacy for me in early game because they give you a lot of experience and are easy to one-shot with a bow; I don't like going on note runs or mass crafting hats or boats, so I choose the more fun option: violence.
@@denny4551 Lol, I'm pretty sure that happens on every server. It's not the hits aren't registering, but that you're seeing the world slightly delayed. With the seagulls, aim about 1/2 to 1/3 of their body length in front of them and every hit will register.
Fjordhawks are pretty annoying too. Almost lost all my stuff, because a Fjordhawk was nearby when I died and it was carrying my stuff and died like 100m away. Felt horrible.
Yeah, I always travel with a pack for the sole purpose of slaughtering Ichthyornis. It might be overkill to have 6 Rexes trying to kill one Ichthyornis, but I don't think so. I once even went so far as to have a flight of Wyverns attack a group of them I found.
@@nooneofimportance2110 The only methods I found of use is either stop away from them and snipe em with the long neck (which depends on you noticing them first) or strafing them with a fire wyvern. And this whole "they only take your weapons and drop them" I can't count how many times they have taken my ascendant pump shoty, then I hear that munching sound 😩
@@DJO86able I have four main groups I use for travel over land, Speed, Mobile Homes, Flight, and Death Brigade. Speed consists (not surprisingly) of fast tames (raptors, equus, dire wolves, things like that), and that usually makes it so I can outrun the damn seagulls. Mobile Homes consists of Brontos and Paracatheriums wearing platform saddles. It's tough for virtually anything to get to you when you're surrounded by walls and guns. protection from Microraptors, Pegos, Icthyornis, and just about any of the other annoyances. I also usually bring along a troop of Dilos as anti-air at the same time. Flight consists of mostly Argys but will have anything else that flies also thrown in (except backpack critters). Nothing quite as satisfying as watching a dozen Argys tear apart a flock of seagulls. Death Brigade is always made up of at least 4 Rexes, a Yut, a mated pair of Allos, and whatever other heavy hitters I can tame (still have yet to get a Carc). Surprisingly they're REALLY good at slaughtering flying pests, including the odd wyvern.
Raptor pounce can actually be avoided by jumping. If you jump as soon as it pounces it'll miss. It actually gives you a prompt on the buff/debuff bar but goes by so fast nobody really knows about it The prompt appears just as at switches to 3rd person
I expected Meganeura to make it into the list. Those little things that sometimes show up when you kill something, unless you're farming hide, or really need some prime meat, in which case they will definetely spawn out of nowhere to ruin your day
I wanted to mention quickly that there is a counter to the top 4. The Sinomacrops screech scares away small enemies, and as such can scare annoyances such as the Microraptor, Icthy, and Pego.
Agree a good list. Didn't know Ichtys can grab lystros but once one took from me 2k narcs and ate them.... without any effect. Hate the flying gypsis. Good video.
The only things that annoy me the most in ark are Pegos/Microraptors. I usually always recover from them really fast or get away. But the fact they just come out of NOWHERE and knock you off is so infuriating! Well made list and great video yet again! :D
Awesome vid of annoyance 😂 How about a Top 10 map exclusive dino's we want on other maps for ASA? Fjordhawk on the Island? Gryphon on Scorched? How about Shadowmane on Aberration? Maybe a Ferox on Extinction? Keep up the great content.

In regard to the Ichthyornis and Mircoraptor having no possible counter, there is 1 I've found, if you have a Sinomacrops on your back and either manually have it screech or have ot auto screech when creatures agro to you, it will scare away all small creatures including all the small annoying creatures in the video, bonus if they're a chitin creature because a Sino with high melee will insta kill those with a screech.
Luckily i got a mod that just completely removes ichtyornis and pego’s from my game and its honestly making my game 100x better. Btw the Leedsichthys can be in here aswell
@@ShawnF6FHellcatok, Andrewsarchus then 🤷 straight up immune to dismount. It's almost like, y'all are noobs, even the TH-camrs don't know what they're doing
@@unluckyluchiano6092 It's almost like Andrewsarchus was not in the game for all but a year and a half of its lifetime before ASA; not to mention everyone has their own play styles and preferences.

Microraptors are horrible but Cnidaria are literally the reason i don't go in the ocean alone. Microraptors are easy to deal with, u see one flapping while ur on a mount just act fast and kill it with a well placed hitbox
With the microraptor you missed to bit of when a group attack you, you can get stuned as soon as last stun wears off so can be stuck in place for a while
By the way, the Ichtyornises have a special counter: The Rex. The Rex's roar stun them too, and they'll slowly land on the ground. After that, they'll be easy prey for you.
Surprised the Kapro wasn't anywhere on the list. Once took a raft through the swamp with my tribe just for it to turn into a horror movie as I watch them get tackled one by one😂
Hot take: the presence of tech, fantasy, and annoying creatures is fine, and adds a lot to the experience of Ark. Not only does it reinforce the fact that Ark is, in fact, a Sci-Fi/fantasy game, but also giving challenge that cannot always be immediately outdone by a busted creature I think busted creatures should be a bit harder to get, but I think they should stay as a reward to sticking around long enough. Ark is not meant to be a game that you can advance in super quickly
If this was legacy days Electrophorus would be number two. They used to basically be super fast Cnidaria back then. They were the main reason I was terrified of going in the ocean.
Largely agree with the list However the perma stunlock of the jellyfish for me puts it at number one, especially with level 300 cave versions tanking 400+ percent crossbows for days and if your dealing with any regular creatures in a cave and it sneaks up on you then you have probably lost that mount. I would like to add the squid to the honourable mention list because of the latching attack which will kill any light mount such as a newt before release.
Hmm, Thylacoleo being an honorable mention is understandable. Those big cat-like Marsupials are almost like Microraptors except they are often hanging on the trees. Usually being hard to see until you happen to step or fly near them, dismounting and stunning you before they attempt to maul you to death. And if you happen to be flying and get pounced you can end up dying or taking massive damage from the fall itself before the mauling can even begin. (Also the fact these guys are also sometimes annoying to tame, their Torpor goes down pretty fast and unless you got a lot of Mutton or Prime Meat ready it's gonna take ages to fill the bar, especially if they are high level.)
I tend to deal with micro raptors easily now, my mount usually kills them when I'm all starry-eyed. if there is more than one, my health is usually full. Although do remember that time a number of Brontos were aggroed on me and my Argy, then a micro raptor appeared, and I died. For me 1) Terror Birds (really dislike their noises) 2) Purlovia 3) ichthyornis
The other day one of those water scorpion things attacked me while i was on top of my griffin and put me to sleep. It took it 10 minutes to finally break my helmet and kill me. The griffin had only lost a 1000 out of 6000, but damn did it take a while
Boys! Have we forgotten the TRUE Number 1 most annoying tame of all time? The carno, of course! Specifically, tamed ones! CLOMP! CLOMP! CLOMP! Its footsteps are obscenely loud!
Weirdly enough, pegos are one of my fav creatures. I keep a stack of mejos in my last slot all the time for that very reason, I've never had issues with them. Just when you least expect it something will smack you in the back and you'll just see "You've Tamed a Pegomastax!" Pop up.
Ichthyornis does have counters...if you don't want to waste any bola or ammunation, either run straight for a while to make them fly straight toward you and turn around and throw bola at them, or get a Rex, Rex's roar will force small airborne creature to land and stuns for few seconds
Wow, i really expected Nameless to be on the list, high at that too. They are super tanky if you dont have light on you aswell. Bloodstalkers are infuriating aswell, since the area they reside in on Genesis 1 is pretty terrainy and getting dragged 200m into the air isnt fun. No idea if that got fixed, i remember swinging on my own bloodstalker and getting dragged off from over 100m in full speed. Ravager, Onycs and Arthro i thought maybe make the list aswell. Baryonyx perma stun i thought may make the list.
I remember encountering Troodons for the first time. It was the Center and I was looking for chitin with my 2 Raptors on follow. I was attacked and knocked out instantly and all I could hear was the Raptors fighting the Troodons. I woke with both Raptors standing over me all bloody but victorious. What I love about Ark. You'll never know what to expect.
Doubt this will get much attention but Raas you should make a video commenting your thoughts on the recent events on conquest with tribes being unfairly banned by snail games. I understand most of your content is PVE oriented but on behalf of the pvp community we would love your help. Your reach and leveled head mind could really help us pvpers deal with publisher corruption and cheating on a game that we’re so dedicated to. And maybe your 2 cents on the topic could change ark for the better. Much love ❤
The itchy used to take a random item from your inventory and eat it, cry podded Dino’s, ascendant rifle… didn’t matter. With annoying hotboxes they were each like a mini boss. A highstakes encounter that challenged your resolve and aim.
Getting knocked out by sea scorpions is the pinnacle of getting arked. They basically fully torp you out in one hit and they do like 5 points of health damage so it takes forever to die.
I'm honestly surprised microrapter is on here. Pegos and seagulls are much worse. Especially the seagulls. Had one eat my ammo before a raid, and I had a wild one eat my cryo pods.
So I’ve learned micro raptors aren’t that awful if you go anywhere above them while they glide, they can fly up so they end up just running away, but do sometimes come back.
I'm surprised to see microraptor at the top of this list. According to steam, Ark is the game I have put the most time in and I have seldom had issues with the M-Raptor. My tops picks would have been the thieving dinos, ants, and Troodon. Troodons were my personal top most loathsome because even though they are thwarted by torches, they really make it impossible to do anything at night because I need the torch hand to use tools or weapons. This means often I just find a safe spot to park my character for the night and wait for morning.
I'm surprised Purlovias aren't higher, especially with the ridiculous knockback. Most of these creatures seem like the developers sat down for a meeting and asked "how can we make the game less fun?"
funny story about one of my first pego encounters i was running around on a ferox feeding it element to make it grow and a pego immediately runs up to me and steals my element and i never saw that pego again and what sucks it that it was the only element i had at the time which was 10 because i had just started breeding tek parasaurs for several hours to make the element and i go out to feed the ferox and i loose about 10 hours of progress.
In general I'd agree with this list, but I have a personal agenda against the pegos ever since one stole a cryopod with the very first equus I ever tamed 😭It also teamed up with a pack of wolves, so the wolves attacked me while the pego ran off with the cryopod and was never seen again lmao.
Remember, raptors in ark mobile ALSO have the pounce while they’re wild. But I mean ofc we’d need smth to make up for pego, ichthyornis and troodons not being found in the wild.
By the way, thylas and kapros are so annoying too, especially when you didn't see them. Or even shadowmane with drakes, if you aren't aware of their spawns. Like map with mods that adding them in somewhere god knows where Almost lost my griffin while taming giga, when that giant cat snatched on us behind me. Giga was the actual savior at the end 😂
if you spam jump, the aberrant raptors will actually not be able to pounce you. i think there's a little prompt in the game on the debuff/buff thing that tells you, but it disappears too fast. so instead, you can just spam the jump button to ensure that it doesn't pounce you
Man....nearly half of this list are some of my absolute favorite tames. Troodon and microraptors at the very top, I've even bred ichthyornis mutation stacks from zero on official before losing them all to no-life griefers... those little birds are my favorite shoulder tame, alongside micros, and whenever my tribe got raided, I would take a group of 2-3 troodon to every ob in cryos, pop them all out on neutral, following an aggressive raptor on wander...70% of the time, it worked every time... 😂
I just started playing the game like two days ago, and I'm on the island map. The creature that's been the bane of my existence so far is the stupid Dilophosaurus. Those acid spitters should have been at least an honorable mention because dear God, they're annoying af; especially if multiple are around.
In my cases, i just chilling😌 with my megatherium Edit: i managed to tame ichthy so i can easy tame an otter and a pair of hesperornis, it's not that bad as a tame support .. 1-2 tranqs should do the trick
One creature that can be annoying when taming something else is a Doedi and they commonly found where Rex, Yuty, Giga etc spawn. You knock out that beautiful Rex, you're busy in it's inventory looking at it's stats. Bam Bam the Doedi, who the Rex was fighting with 10 minutes before you tranq it, wakes up from the bush it was curled up in, sneaks up the other side, and ruins your tame. Not sure why the Megatherium is in there? What does it do? Out of all these creatures I still give Purlovia a gg when they catch me, I love/hate them and would be sad if they where taken out the game. Wish they had some use in PVE though.
Purlovias are most annoying in aberration for me personally, getting your first drake egg on a megalo is utter trauma, dismounted every 5seconds until a reaper pops up and you just have to accept your death.. The most annoying creature will always be the summoner. suprised that wasn't on any list lol. i hate them so much ;u;
Ichthyones counter: Tame a pack of pteranodons (seven should work) set them to aggressive, and leave them near your beach house. They'll slaughter even brachiosaurs.
There is actually a counter to the dismount it’s the stag. Oh, I don’t remember which platform it is, but I think it’s defensive platform or one of them makes it to where you cannot be dismounted while riding it.
I applaud our collective restraint for not voting for Snail Games in this community poll. 3:30 Dragon casually flying in the background ?! For a future poll, I'd love to see a Top10 creatures we hope follow us to ARK2. There's a few confirmed ones and a few that are suspected to follow because of elements of last year's trailer, but there are hundreds of creatures whose status is unknown at the moment... and not all will be in the sequel. I know the release is far in the future, but dev work is taking place now, maybe WildCard would take such poll discretely into account.
@@adeptgirl3454 I don't know, that part of the video is clearly shot on Fjordur, while the DOX series is on Ragnarok. But either way the weird thing about it to me was how the Dragon was not aggressive.
wasn't it so that microraptors won't attack if you got one yourself on your shoulder? otherwise sinomacrops is always a solution for these nasty small creatures like pego or microraptor

However the perma stunlock of the jellyfish for me puts it at number one, especially with level 300 cave versions tanking 400+ percent crossbows for days and if your dealing with any regular creatures in a cave and it sneaks up on you then you have probably lost that mount.
I would like to add the squid to the honourable mention list because of the latching attack which will kill any light mount such as a newt before release.
Hmm, Thylacoleo being an honorable mention is understandable. Those big cat-like Marsupials are almost like Microraptors except they are often hanging on the trees. Usually being hard to see until you happen to step or fly near them, dismounting and stunning you before they attempt to maul you to death. And if you happen to be flying and get pounced you can end up dying or taking massive damage from the fall itself before the mauling can even begin.
(Also the fact these guys are also sometimes annoying to tame, their Torpor goes down pretty fast and unless you got a lot of Mutton or Prime Meat ready it's gonna take ages to fill the bar, especially if they are high level.)
I tend to deal with micro raptors easily now, my mount usually kills them when I'm all starry-eyed. if there is more than one, my health is usually full. Although do remember that time a number of Brontos were aggroed on me and my Argy, then a micro raptor appeared, and I died.
For me 1) Terror Birds (really dislike their noises) 2) Purlovia 3) ichthyornis
Tip for the Micros: if you can time it right, a good kick from a horse should scare them off. Used this a few times on rag and val
The other day one of those water scorpion things attacked me while i was on top of my griffin and put me to sleep. It took it 10 minutes to finally break my helmet and kill me. The griffin had only lost a 1000 out of 6000, but damn did it take a while
Top 10 weirdest creatures in ark
wait why the megatherium? I've never had any problems with them
Boys! Have we forgotten the TRUE Number 1 most annoying tame of all time? The carno, of course! Specifically, tamed ones!
CLOMP! CLOMP! CLOMP! Its footsteps are obscenely loud!
Weirdly enough, pegos are one of my fav creatures. I keep a stack of mejos in my last slot all the time for that very reason, I've never had issues with them. Just when you least expect it something will smack you in the back and you'll just see "You've Tamed a Pegomastax!" Pop up.
Something I learned to deal with microraptors is if you’re on a Petra, put it on neutral. If you get stunned it will kill them all quickly
"there is no counter"
-sino "allow me to introduce myself"
Ichthyornis does have counters...if you don't want to waste any bola or ammunation, either run straight for a while to make them fly straight toward you and turn around and throw bola at them, or get a Rex, Rex's roar will force small airborne creature to land and stuns for few seconds
Wow, i really expected Nameless to be on the list, high at that too. They are super tanky if you dont have light on you aswell.
Bloodstalkers are infuriating aswell, since the area they reside in on Genesis 1 is pretty terrainy and getting dragged 200m into the air isnt fun. No idea if that got fixed, i remember swinging on my own bloodstalker and getting dragged off from over 100m in full speed.
Ravager, Onycs and Arthro i thought maybe make the list aswell.
Baryonyx perma stun i thought may make the list.
I slaughter Bary's whenever I see them. I'm almost always on a high level tame when traveling though.
I remember encountering Troodons for the first time. It was the Center and I was looking for chitin with my 2 Raptors on follow. I was attacked and knocked out instantly and all I could hear was the Raptors fighting the Troodons. I woke with both Raptors standing over me all bloody but victorious. What I love about Ark. You'll never know what to expect.
Doubt this will get much attention but Raas you should make a video commenting your thoughts on the recent events on conquest with tribes being unfairly banned by snail games. I understand most of your content is PVE oriented but on behalf of the pvp community we would love your help. Your reach and leveled head mind could really help us pvpers deal with publisher corruption and cheating on a game that we’re so dedicated to. And maybe your 2 cents on the topic could change ark for the better. Much love ❤
I did drop a tweet on it mate. But yeah will cover in the next news vid
@@Raasclark much thanks 🙏
Why do people hate troodons so much??
I always just used to use Argys to take them out
The itchy used to take a random item from your inventory and eat it, cry podded Dino’s, ascendant rifle… didn’t matter. With annoying hotboxes they were each like a mini boss. A highstakes encounter that challenged your resolve and aim.
A simple thing to keep in mind is a lot of thing's on this list can be countered with a simple bola. Don't sleep on this useful tool!
Getting knocked out by sea scorpions is the pinnacle of getting arked. They basically fully torp you out in one hit and they do like 5 points of health damage so it takes forever to die.
Me knowing microraptor will be number 1:
I'm honestly surprised microrapter is on here. Pegos and seagulls are much worse. Especially the seagulls. Had one eat my ammo before a raid, and I had a wild one eat my cryo pods.
@@AlexEatsCats Depends on the situation, but a microraptor in redwoods...n o
@@AlexEatsCats Pegos are easy. Ichtyornis is way worse because everything is gone if they have it.
@@Sille. ever since the redwoods was added I've always built there though. They've never been a problem.
@@halica4131 Yeah obviously lol
Can’t remember if you did it already but maybe the 10 most useless creatures? Love the videos they are always a great watch!
lymantria ez number 1 spot
I love these top 10s
So I’ve learned micro raptors aren’t that awful if you go anywhere above them while
they glide, they can fly up so they end up just running away, but do sometimes come back.
I'm surprised to see microraptor at the top of this list. According to steam, Ark is the game I have put the most time in and I have seldom had issues with the M-Raptor. My tops picks would have been the thieving dinos, ants, and Troodon. Troodons were my personal top most loathsome because even though they are thwarted by torches, they really make it impossible to do anything at night because I need the torch hand to use tools or weapons. This means often I just find a safe spot to park my character for the night and wait for morning.
I'm surprised Purlovias aren't higher, especially with the ridiculous knockback. Most of these creatures seem like the developers sat down for a meeting and asked "how can we make the game less fun?"
funny story about one of my first pego encounters i was running around on a ferox feeding it element to make it grow and a pego immediately runs up to me and steals my element and i never saw that pego again and what sucks it that it was the only element i had at the time which was 10 because i had just started breeding tek parasaurs for several hours to make the element and i go out to feed the ferox and i loose about 10 hours of progress.
In general I'd agree with this list, but I have a personal agenda against the pegos ever since one stole a cryopod with the very first equus I ever tamed 😭It also teamed up with a pack of wolves, so the wolves attacked me while the pego ran off with the cryopod and was never seen again lmao.
Remember, raptors in ark mobile ALSO have the pounce while they’re wild. But I mean ofc we’d need smth to make up for pego, ichthyornis and troodons not being found in the wild.
By the way, thylas and kapros are so annoying too, especially when you didn't see them. Or even shadowmane with drakes, if you aren't aware of their spawns. Like map with mods that adding them in somewhere god knows where
Almost lost my griffin while taming giga, when that giant cat snatched on us behind me. Giga was the actual savior at the end 😂
Eurypterid is missing for me, on many maps the coastline allows it to spawn and is even more common than Trodon. Worth mentioning at least.
if you spam jump, the aberrant raptors will actually not be able to pounce you. i think there's a little prompt in the game on the debuff/buff thing that tells you, but it disappears too fast. so instead, you can just spam the jump button to ensure that it doesn't pounce you
Man....nearly half of this list are some of my absolute favorite tames. Troodon and microraptors at the very top, I've even bred ichthyornis mutation stacks from zero on official before losing them all to no-life griefers... those little birds are my favorite shoulder tame, alongside micros, and whenever my tribe got raided, I would take a group of 2-3 troodon to every ob in cryos, pop them all out on neutral, following an aggressive raptor on wander...70% of the time, it worked every time... 😂
I just started playing the game like two days ago, and I'm on the island map. The creature that's been the bane of my existence so far is the stupid Dilophosaurus. Those acid spitters should have been at least an honorable mention because dear God, they're annoying af; especially if multiple are around.
In my cases, i just chilling😌 with my megatherium
Edit: i managed to tame ichthy so i can easy tame an otter and a pair of hesperornis, it's not that bad as a tame support .. 1-2 tranqs should do the trick
Hi Raas could you do a video series about all creatures in Ark what they are good for how to tame where to find them etc...?
Microraptors made the sinomacrops the MVP of shoulder mounts gonna miss it for the first few months of ASA
The ichthyones is such an annoyance to me that I started playing ark mobile instead to entirely avoid it, worth it
One creature that can be annoying when taming something else is a Doedi and they commonly found where Rex, Yuty, Giga etc spawn. You knock out that beautiful Rex, you're busy in it's inventory looking at it's stats. Bam Bam the Doedi, who the Rex was fighting with 10 minutes before you tranq it, wakes up from the bush it was curled up in, sneaks up the other side, and ruins your tame. Not sure why the Megatherium is in there? What does it do? Out of all these creatures I still give Purlovia a gg when they catch me, I love/hate them and would be sad if they where taken out the game. Wish they had some use in PVE though.
Purlovias are most annoying in aberration for me personally, getting your first drake egg on a megalo is utter trauma, dismounted every 5seconds until a reaper pops up and you just have to accept your death.. The most annoying creature will always be the summoner. suprised that wasn't on any list lol.
i hate them so much ;u;
Sino: I fear none 😎
I love these community votes videos
IchthyOnes swooped down and ATE MY NARCODICS and I'm just like.... YOU SON OF A.......
The galli needs to be on that list for ALWAYS getting in your way and luring hostiles to you
Troodons are like Ark's version of Minecraft spiders lol
Abberant Raptor also spawns on lost island in the abberent cave 😁 💚
Don't even get me started on Microraptors. I lost everything in the tek cave once because of a single one of them. Plus the world was Hardcore
So glad the microraptor is #1. I've cursed those things out in ways you didn't know were possible.
Ichthyones counter: Tame a pack of pteranodons (seven should work) set them to aggressive, and leave them near your beach house.
They'll slaughter even brachiosaurs.
No way, thanks! Ive played this game 2800 hours and i totally didnt know troodons ran from light
There is actually a counter to the dismount it’s the stag. Oh, I don’t remember which platform it is, but I think it’s defensive platform or one of them makes it to where you cannot be dismounted while riding it.
I applaud our collective restraint for not voting for Snail Games in this community poll.
3:30 Dragon casually flying in the background ?!
For a future poll, I'd love to see a Top10 creatures we hope follow us to ARK2. There's a few confirmed ones and a few that are suspected to follow because of elements of last year's trailer, but there are hundreds of creatures whose status is unknown at the moment... and not all will be in the sequel. I know the release is far in the future, but dev work is taking place now, maybe WildCard would take such poll discretely into account.
Pretty sure that was footage from his Dino Overhaul X series, that mod has dragons as a common mob.
@@adeptgirl3454 I don't know, that part of the video is clearly shot on Fjordur, while the DOX series is on Ragnarok. But either way the weird thing about it to me was how the Dragon was not aggressive.
Microraptors are the sole reason I only traverse the Redwoods on The Center on a Rex or Megatherium.. Then I only have Thylas to worry about.. :D
The Andrewsarchus with a saddle is the best counter for a Microraptor. They can't knock you off, all they do is fly around you
Just...get a Stego....
MORE DOX!!😂😂 Im having the time OF MY LIFE watching u play 💀😂😂😂
Little known fact about the raptor pounce is that you can 'cancel' it by jumping at the right time.
wasn't it so that microraptors won't attack if you got one yourself on your shoulder? otherwise sinomacrops is always a solution for these nasty small creatures like pego or microraptor
Yeees why isn't anyone else saying this they do attack you they just can't dismount you
