Ceratops is a dubious genus and little is known. Sometimes it’s called Protoceratops. Whatever it’s history it’s still an important in the history of dinosaurs as it is the type genus after which Ceratopsia and Ceratopsidae have been named.
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.

Slight correction, Camels don’t store water in their humps, but they can last about a week without water due to their oval shaped and elastic red blood cells, which allows their blood to flow more easily even when they are low on water.
that's fair, I should have phrased that better. I didn't know about the blood cells though and that's really interesting, thank you for sharing.
@@skwirrelle That’s cool. I didn’t really know about the blood thing either until I looked it up to try and see how camels can go without water for days at a time.
Interesting, it even walks like a camel, moving both left legs at once and then both right legs.

I have watched hours of video of these guys and not once did I notice that 🤣🤣
I really do wish Ark’s dinos were more of these fictional chimera. The “Evolved” in the title would be more emphasized and the artists do an incredible job at making them interesting visually while feeling probable.
Yeah that would be really cool, and it would fit with the lore about the Ark's regenerating things as they experiment with building a stable environment. The morellatops was a fun hybrid to research
There is a few base game dinos that are kinda that, the trike is kinda a hybrid of a trike and a styracosaurus, even having styracus (i think) as the subspecies name, the stego while mostly nornal has a lost nore plates than usual and has 6 or 8 thagomizer spikes so there were a few odd dinos before they went spec evo
When I first heard about this game I thought mutations would be ACTUAL mutations. Boy did I feel fooled.
@aircobraman1375 yeah, sadly they're quite underwhelming!
The dossiers are Helena’s personal interpretations on the creatures. She saw the creature then decided to call it morellatops because of its features, but it’s possible it’s not a hybrid at all, but rather a creature that the humanists/transhumans creating the ARKs found engrammatic matrixes of via fossils (that exist in their universe but not our’s) that only resembled a hybrid in appearance
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 😃
Another awesome video Skwirrelle! Getting better and better with these! Procroptodon
Thanks so much Lance, I really appreciate all your support. 🦕
Yaay new Video, as always great work, also Procoptodon
Thank you so much 🦕
The big chunky fuzzy boy!
I love the morrelo. I thought it was real when i was younger
🦕🦕🦕
this is such a cool series idea
Thanks so much 🦕
Procoptodon! Thank you for the efforts and details put in the video
Thank you 🦘🦘
These videos are amazing for anyone who has a kid that plays this game very educational and fun
Thank you so much 🦕🦕
so I realized something, morelladon means Morella tooth, Morella Castelle the place, and tops just means face... doesn't that mean that morellatops just means morella face or face of morella
That's it a very good point! They made a "proper" dino name when combining the two creatures
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
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!
Have you done an episode on the dilo? Its a hybrid as well!
Procoptodon.
Not yet. I'm going to work on scorched creatures for now but dilo will come in the future
@skwirrelle ok, that's cool. Very curious to see your dives into wacky native fauna of scorched.
dilo isnt really a hybrid, the only ones that we 100% know are hybrids are morellatops and trike
Procoptodon!
Probably the only example where "pouch gunner" makes sense.

It’s inferred that some of the creatures In Ark were genetically created
It is. I wish the lore was more accessible to explain all of that because most people dont read the explorer notes, there's some good videos that explain the story though
I like the Rex’s scientific name in the dossier, Tyrannosaurus Dominum as it’s not the T-Rex and in fact a separate species in the genus and perhaps a genetically evolved one.
@gendygoblin8391 they've been clever there. All of the creatures have a new species name and some of them mean really interesting things or hint towards that creatures in game purpose. I wish they had found an easier way to share that information in game so it was more obvious
@@skwirrelleDo you really mean all? Because there’s a lot of Dino’s that share their real life’s name
@@JurassicEdits1993 There are a lot of genus names that are used which are the same. But I've not come across a species name that's the same as reality yet.
For example, the dodo in game is called Raphus replicare, where as the real life dodo is known as Raphus cucullatus. The ingame Rex is called Tryannosaurus dominum, where as we know the real life version as Tyrannosaurus rex - the game version just gets called the Rex because that's what we're all familiar with.
So, the names look familiar, but they've changed them slightly to make them unique to the ark. It's all kind of hidden in the dossiers though so not the easiest to find. The species name is often based on that creatures in game purpose too, it's pretty clever.
Procoptodon. Very interesting stuff. Dinosaurs (and adjacent non-dinosaurs) are cool!
They are! 🦘🦘🦘
both this and the throny dragon are the only dinos i am courious about why they where made for ark scorched earth
Procoptodon!
Morellatops face some how resembles the Ankylosaurus or not maybe🤔🤔
It does look a lot like the anky
Do Peggle mastics next?
First!
Procoptodon ❤
🏆🏆🏆
Morellotops is really cool, its the only vanilla creature that can drink water in game besides the player! ive always loved them and procoptodons
Oh that's a cool fact. 🦕🦘

Would it be crazy if I said I live really close to Morella and I actually went to te highschool that's there? Cuz it's true
That's pretty crazy! 🦕🦕

I already know this one isn't real.
In reality, though, Ark, like Jurassic Park, is full of hybrids, not real dinos. In the Jurassic fandom, most people incorrectly think that Indominus Rex, Indoraptor and Scorpius Rex are the only hybrids, but in reality, they were always hybrids from the start. In the very first movie, and book, Jurassic Park, it was explained that they filled in gene sequence gaps with dna from other animal, like frogs. In Jurassic World every member of the raptor squad is a hybrid, with each one being mixed with some different animal.
Likewise, as I understand it, the dinosaurs in Ark are reconstructions, rather than 1 for 1 clones. Some of the creatures, like Wyverns and Griffons are constructed from misinterpretating human myths as historical accounts. Others are created from scratch using existing genomes for a very specific purpose, like Morellotops. The final form of creature in Ark are the monstrocities created by Rockwell, like Shadowmane, and the mutants created by element corruption on Earth, like the Titans.

The Wyvern is likely actually an evolved monotreme!
It produces milk, lays eggs, and is definitely warm blooded (fire/lightning wyverns) and the ARKs are known to rapidly evolve animals
