Paradigm past Studio Wildcard

A massive hulking bat that tin can be ridden, the Desmodus Draculae won the vote by a landslide with over 60k votes. The bat'south official art and Dossier have not yet been designed by the Ark Devs themselves, simply the original artwork suggests an aggressive flock-based beast that is nocturnal, much similar a Megalosaurus. The details further suggest this creature can pin their casualty and bleed both health and stamina, living on a diet of blood that grants them enhanced regeneration of health. They also announced to take a nocturnal buff when tamed, and a slower flight speed during the day alongside increased stamina bleed. On top of this, they also have a bat's echolocation both every bit radar and a defensive mechanism much like the Sinomacrops, simply on a much larger more terrifying calibration.

Again without an official Dossier every bit of however, the concept for this dino is subject to change, only based on the current information we know that the Carcharodonto, every bit it is to be called in-game, is a massive fauna that rivals Rexes and Gigas in seize with teeth force and size. Whilst slightly smaller than the Giga the Carcharodonto is faster and based on the Dossier they seem to be able to do haemorrhage damage. Due to its smaller size, it lacks the HP puddle of both the Giga and the Rex but information technology seems to be able to outrun both of these and poses a significant hunting threat to any Survivor or smaller Dino. While the Carcharodonto didn't win the contest, the Devs have confirmed that information technology volition be added to the roster as a free update later in the twelvemonth.

Already Confirmed Creatures

Andrewsarchus
