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.

@@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.

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…

For the microraptors something that helps is having a dimorph on aggressive as a shoulder pet.

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.

Didn't you mean micophonage lol good videos man keep it up 👍

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

Perhaps a top 10 of the best creatures that have been in the game since day 1 would be interesting.

SEAGULLS ARE NOT FUN really broke me LOL! Great vid raas.

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

You can find the pegos that steal your stuff, by checking the taming tracker since them stealing off you is how you tame them basically.

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.

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

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

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😂

I love these top 10s

I love the BadLipReading reference about the Yoda reference

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.

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...?

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.

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.

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.

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

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.)

No diplo? They’re one of the most annoying because they don’t even attack. They just poke you

Here's a tip for all of you guys and radclark. You can actually scare away icthys by burning them with a torch

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.

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.

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

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!

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.

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'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.

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... 😂

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.

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?
