Welcome to another edition of the Community Crunch! This week we're dropping a sneak peek at our favorite ARK2 tiny-armed, horned stomper in the form of the Carnotaurus! Granted, it's technically the only creature with all of those characteristics combined but the point is - we love our fresh iteration of the Carno and hope you do too! We carno tell you how excited we are to drop ARK2 morsels (sorry!) {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/8729288/ccad6f47b2ed5d4c26c10ff5a49505c0da0a95a0.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/8729288/92a73942d958038d314bb7399e090d87b74bf2b6.jpg Carnotaurus: The Horned Terror {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/8729288/6b28de781a28bb1e05356e19aedb692a1a483ca9.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/8729288/dab7b02869fdf03c3bab76189edfc6fb19e15d2e.jpg Our Love Evolved EVO event is still live until February 20th!

It lived 35 million years before the first amphibians. We are excited to get this to the creature design team and start working on Rhyniognatha!

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/8729288/7155e8218372c9313841dd99afd10877cf3e110d.jpg Welcome to another edition of the Community Crunch! Since the announcement of ARK 2, we've watched the community's excitement and anticipation rise as we continued to work diligently in the background to define the new survival experience. Despite anticipating our next showing of ARK 2 to be a gameplay showcase, we see the hunger and eagerness for more ARK 2 information, and we get it. We’ve decided to give you a peek behind the curtain and begin showcasing more ARK 2 tidbits regularly as we lead up to the first gameplay trailer. We hope you enjoy these appetizers, and we can’t wait for you to get your hands on the main course 😉! As always, we love seeing the passion of the ARK community on display, and we look forward to getting more information in your hands beginning this week! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/8729288/5f2a3f072254356f771562c03645b0b5f24f7acc.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/8729288/ddb925a8776c1d1024cbc05e1a1f92ca279fde02.jpg Introducing Stegosaurus: A noble guardian from a foregone epoch. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/8729288/53eea1aa9f32144f2b63ffd4f5ea4357914bd495.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/8729288/7a783bcf3723f1ff8e0efa8ff114768b9f211106.png Introducing Brachiosaurus: An aloof behemoth. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/8729288/16909bcdf8c6ec7821ba65d996b18b45160cfe01.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/8729288/fbaee4e2bf044a6e46021d2886be59de0f1de813.jpg

We've seen some incredible fan-made designs and creature submissions in pasts contests so we can't wait to see what you come up with this time. Whether you're a seasoned player or new to the community, we encourage you to dust off those notebooks and let your creativity run wild. Feel free to create a dossier, design a creature, and tell us how you see it fitting into the current ARK meta. While we may not adopt all of the gameplay ideas, we will be looking at and considering everything submitted. Use Wikipedia links and references to help with your pitch, show us what abilities this creature might have, and what it may look like. Check out the Creature Submission Guidelines for more information on the submission process and hop over to the Creature Submission Forum to see the current entries. The entry period will end at 1PM Pacific on January 23rd, so don't wait - get your ideas in. We are looking forward to seeing your ideas come to life! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/8729288/7f445cf1c7997ade2e1d5f49297c1ac7f5a2e1b8.png
