Back to back posts! ARK: Aquatica is almost here!
[p][/p][h3]With the Aquatica DLC releasing soon with new, unique additions to the game, we wanted to make another post to highlight more creatures and a couple items. Expect more community posts to continue![/h3][p][/p][p]As a reminder, the community has its own
Discord server linked
here, for all things ARK: Aquatica community wise, we will keep a close eye on both the Discord server and the ARK Survival Evolved community hub on Steam![/p][p][/p][p]Today's post will be led off with
FOUR creature dossiers, reveals of the
unique biomes and
TWO unique items in the DLC.[/p][p][/p][h3]
Creature Dossier reveals:[/h3][p][/p][h3]
Tiktaalik[/h3][p]
Tiktaalik Roseae[/p][p][/p][p]"Even with its deficits, the Tiktaalik persists. It flees in danger, but not with exceptional speed. Its largest defense is its ability to hide in place. Saying it uses camouflage is generous. The act of covering its eyes seems to trick any hostile creature into leaving it alone."[/p][p]Initially appearing to be fearful then turning playful, the Tiktaalik will look to find a playmate and as you come across these cute creatures in the wild, don't expect them to be masters at hiding.[/p][p][/p][h3]

Onchopristis[/h3][p]
Onchopristis serratmatus[/p][p][/p][p]"This fish is both creature and tool to anyone brave enough to master them. Taming requires force and some agility to avoid their razor sharp, exposed teeth. These creatures won’t be ridden bareback. With a saddle, you can travel the waters with a chainsaw carving your path."[/p][p]Obviously intimidating yet purposeful, a creature that requires effort to tame but can become a great asset, one that will put up a good fight. Keep your distance unless you dare![/p][p][/p][p]

Mantis Shrimp[/h3][p]
Odontodactylus concussus[/p][p][/p][p]"They are protective of their homes and the eggs of their offspring. Yet they are not impossible to reason with. A typical peace offering is not effective as it is clear to me that the wild Mantis Shrimp has a deep sense of pride. It will not be handfed. They demand respect and I find it easy to give."[/p][p]A tame that can also be a loyal assistant, these will be worth the respect they demand with their utility. Watch your limbs and extremities with this one.[/p][p]

Monodon[/h3][p]
Monodon magicosceros[/p][p][/p][p]"Monodons appear to be a typical aquatic animal. They swim where simple fish can be found in abundance. To gain their loyalty, you must hop on to the back of this wild animal and prove you can handle it."[/p][p]The legend come to life, set to be one of the best companions in the expansion. For transporation, utility and defense, seeking these creatures may prove essential.[/p][p]

Revealing the 5 Unique Biomes in Aquatica:[/h3][p][/p][p]In ARK: Aquatica, there will be 5
Unique Biomes and
sub-biomes in between that survivors will explore for secrets and treasures while also searching for biome-specific creatures to tame.[/p][p][/p][p]
The 5 biomes are as follows:Shallows [/p][p]
Crystal Caverns [/p][p]
Boiling Sea [/p][p]
Depths [/p][p]
Abyss [/p][p][/p][p]

[/p][p]Pictured here is the
Shallows biome. the introductory biome in the world of Aquatica. A gorgeous and friendly biome teeming with colorful corals, happy beasts, and mystical plants that somehow allow humans to breathe underwater.[/p][p][/p][p]

[/p][p]Pictured here is the opposite end of the biome spectrum, the
Abyss, residing below the
Depths, this biome looks like another world at the bottom of the ocean. Aquatic in nature but somehow twisted, like it doesn't quite belong in this reality.[/p][p][/p][p]While we have only described
2 of the
5 unique biomes, we hope that the players enjoy and explore all 5 biomes and also the
sub-biomes in between.[/p][p][/p][h3]
Bonus: Two unique items in Aquatica[/h3][p]Two amazing tools to aid your underwater journey, the
Tek Trident and the
Seafin Glider Suit will be essential items in this expansion![/p][p][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p][/p][p]With more creature reveals and items on the way, we hope that not only the community remains excited but also looking forward to seeing and meeting these creatures upon release.[/p][h3]Thanks for waiting! More coming soon.[/h3][h2] [/h2][h2]Wishlist Now and Be the First to Dive in on July 15![/h2][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p][/p]
