With Lost Isle officially launched for ARK, there's been a new drove of dinosaurs added, both large and small, alongside a whole new map and biomes. The latest map has given Survivors a new array of usable dinosaurs and the current roster of favorites and not-so favorites.

Amargasaurus

Amargasaurus is the largest of the new dinosaurs to exist released and is both a tameable and rideable dinosaur. A herbivore by nature, this tall spiny lizard belongs to the same family unit as the Bronto and the Diplodocus. Unlike its graceful and peaceful cousins, this dinosaur is non approached lightly. Amargasaurus has long spines that it volition use to attack unsuspecting Survivors who go too close. Additionally, the Amargasaurus tin wield its massive regenerative spines in combat. The spines themselves tin can give off thermal waves that tin can destroy higher tiers armor. ARK devs have mentioned that to tame this spiky fauna will be done passively after gaining its trust by killing animals alongside it and then feeding it kibble.

Dinopithecus

The Dinopithecus is not the first primate-blazon mammal added to the game. Others such as the Megapithecus Boss in Ark, the Gigantopithecus, and the Mesopithecus have been around for a while. However, this is the commencement primate added in a while. Both tameable and rideable, the Dinopithecus resembles a large baboon, and like to their real-world counterparts, they travel in troops and are omnivorous. They are blastoff-oriented tames, identical to the Direwolves, and can climb vertical surfaces like the Thylacoleo. Additionally, and perhaps the most useful of the Dinopithecus' abilities is its poop-slinging function, which disables TEK when flung.

Sinomacrops

The smallest of our new additions is the Sinmacrops, a minor reptilian dinosaur that is generally docile and eats insects. It is curious and seeks out social interactions; however, information technology does react with intimidation, flashing its centre-spotted wings and screeching to stun aggressors. Being an insectivore, it is not wise to article of clothing chitin armor near the Sinomacrops as it will set on in an endeavor to eat you.

Role-wise, this shoulder dinosaur gives Survivors the ability to glide, much like the gliding suit acquired in Aberration, assuasive Survivors to traverse easily beyond difficult terrain.
