TOP 10 TRAVELLING CREATURES YOU NEED TO TAME FOR ARK SURVIVAL EVOLVED 2021!! || Ark!

[@starcloister4651]

My favorite is still the thylacoleo. It's very well-rounded for travel and combat so it's got high survivability. I prefer ground mounts to flying because I feel like I can explore the maps more intimately that way, and I'm not a fan of the "legendary" type creatures because I prefer more reality-based tames.

[@Mike-gr9ck]

Agreed, I just started playing ark and I never realized there were so many made up creatures, kinda ruined it a little bit for me

[@l0kk016]

@@Mike-gr9ck they are very recent tho, If you play only unmoded the island you'll probably be 90% with dinos and mamels

[@zbychulatara]

Only problem of thyla is he taking crazy fall damage when you spam jump and run buttons on the ground. He literally jummp 1 meter high and take damage xd

[@bentfluffyballs8824]

Including reapers?

[@AdamGamingARK]

The lion fishy dude is actually the best (the best in both land and water) The alien xenomorph is the second one only for ground The cute fluffy cat standing in the redwood is the third one. Actually I can't decide surely if its the thyla or the reaper in second place. but the lion fish is surely the best

Bloodstalker wouldnt really fit any of the other maps cause most of them dont have a lot of high places like Genesis. Also not a lot going for it besides being a decent travel mount plus its kinda fragile

[@xDerpy]

the height problem with a Maewing can easily be avoided if you do a second jump after gaining some speed from the first glide. also you should always do a very short dive after jumping to speed up a lot

[@dualgladius5916]

The managarmr is pretty fun. You can jump glide jump glide jump glide strafe x6 then dash. You can also glide in between strafes so you can go quite far. Just make sure you have a ton of stamina. They're a pain to get due to their suicidal nature

[@DeadlyPlatypus]

PSA: The Tropeo HAS to be immobilized by a chain bola, the net gun doesn't work.

[@PlatanOsO]

forgot to mention that griffins are one of the few creatures that allow you to use a weapon while riding it in mid-air allowing you to tame anything as long as you can hit it....also WHY THE HELL IS THE MIGHTY SNOW OWL NOT HERE? they are literally responsible for saving my life and my other tames by healing them, they can dive so they get massive speed, and they literally have wallhacks (kind of) so finding dinos especially if they are small ones is significantly faster.

[@recordedbeast4466]

That has nothing to do with traveling though

[@mathewcole3638]

I'm surprised I never see the dinopithecus on these. They're kits are simple, but they have an impressive jump and can climb walls. They make getting across the map just a casual errand run, and nothing wild can keep up with you

[@sourisgogo]

Honorable mention to the procoptodon. It's the best dino you can obtain on the Island if you wanna travelthe fastest way, harvest berries and carry a lot of weight, also pretty invincible since you can knock back every dinosaur in your way

[@idkpeerpressure2854]

CJ, you forgot to mention the speed buff tropical crystal wyverns get from any body of water.

[@alexcat6]

plus, they're the fastest wyvern

[@bamalamlamlam4776]

@@alexcat6 yeah maybe it’s because OF the speed boost that they get from water that this guy already mentioned?

[@Intremental]

A very early game tame is the para because they can carry a lot, has decent stamina for early game, and they are very easy games and you unlock the saddle pretty early on.

[@777crig]

Yep this was well done forsure. Iike how you not only explained the key traits and map to get them. But where and when to best use them.

[@paladingeorge6098]

I feel like rock drakes are severely underrated nowadays. I don't remember being able to cloak and glide back during the release of Aberration with them, but it seems they can do so now making them really great for stealing eggs from wyverns or magmasaurs.

[@logicalreality2680]

I just commented that Rock Drakes are my favorite to travel with lol. I agree they’re very underrated!

[@joshmaag2457]

Pretty sure all these dinos except for the shadow mane are on the map fjordur I’m playing on. Man I love this map haha.

[@thomasdevlin5825]

I think they actually added shadowmanes in the new realm, and when it becomes official I heard they won't be removing anything

[@Zo3yX]

the map looks cool but the authors just bug me. No singleplayer help at all wtf.

[@Sad_Chief]

@@thomasdevlin5825 what?! Really!? I guess them making ark 2 is making them more chill about having dlc creatures in free maps

[@magnumgvegas8419]

for early game, I love the iguanadon. Infinite stamina on four legs and he's pretty quick and tanky!

[@BLiNNeMaNS]

yup, unless you're playing one of the maps that came after aberration (which was the 1st official "vertical" map) as that map influenced builders to make maps less easy for horizontal travels

[@morthwyl2587]

I use only my mighty Trex. Takes forever to get anywhere but he suffers no delays.

[@gone3281]

ptera, duck, arqui, owl, wyvern. -duck can swim and u can fish mounting it, it gathers fish. they are so small you can ride even trough ceiling hatch doors. -pteras are way too easy to tame and you will need it for egg stealing and milk run untill you get a wyvern. 250 weight any other point on stam. -argui, flying mules and cave runners in lost island, they heal after consuming a corpse and saddles are smithy. -owls, 2 owls for inf stam healing everything, even wild dinos. -wyvern, top tier. -aditional. for ocean pack of sharks... the pack buff plus bleed is real OP, every point can go to weight for meat run.

[@emmyjane3658]

There is also the rhyniognatha which is faster than wyverns with the one exception being the tropical type when touching water. The rhyniognatha also can shoot resin as either a bomb,missile or a bullet using sap to turn into these projectiles

[@aydenbilow9148]

I like the enforcer, they can climb like rock drakes, warp several times with short cool down as well as a stunning ability, I say the only downside is getting the element dust to feed it

[@spartanseventyeight8673]

So this has probably already been said but, Maewing advice: Jump, use the momentum to glide along the ground while holding space, and while you're doing that slide animation: Aim up. From what I've seen, aiming influences the height so if you aim straight up, you can get alot of height.

[@sethwilson919]

My absolute favorite is the Rock Drake. It can jump high and glide really well, it can swim really well, climb any surface and turn invisible even after you dismount it.

[@thunderbasilisk1352]

I would replace the Griffin with the Snow Owl. Its healing can not be denied its usefulness.

[@damnsonwheredyoufindthis.3830]

This is traveling not overall usefullness. Overall flier list would definately have trope and crystal wyverns be over a griffin because they ain't squishy in combat and can carry more. While griffin is only good for getting from point a to b quick(but doesnt have so good hp and terrible damage, slams do a lot but thats very low dps), and for taming stuff because you can shoot on top of them

[@sergioontiveros4984]

i wish managarmr would get a glide similar to maewing instead of what it has now, keep it at 3 jumps and 1 dash but let it glide after so its not absolute garbage.

[@Sad_Chief]

Ikr! It looks like a cooler rockdrake but it's nowhere near as cool as the rockdrake and the fact that it can only boost and jump is dissapointing. But I guess it's swimming speed makes up for it partially but still dissapointing nonetheless

[@dualgladius5916]

It can glide after each jump and each strafe. It can jump 3x, boost x1, strafe x6, and glide between all except the boost

[@Tyler-xt5gh]

Another fun one for the wyvern category is the tropical crystal wyvern if you fly it near water I believe it's a 15% faster for 30secs

[@bully_hunter_7776]

Maewings have quickly become my favourite tame for getting around

[@Godzilla_ultima_real]

But how do u summon it with admin commands

[@nembutsu1045]

there is no other tame as fast as them. they outrun anything it's laughable. simply the best travel mount, you can even take them into caves

[@mandrac2]

honorable mention to the ravager for being able to ride zipline making it a good cave mount as well as being essential on aberation if you don't have a drake.

[@Sunny-jw6vp]

[@Jeremy-ff7gv]

The maewing is so much fun to use

[@piratekit3941]

While mana used to be way better before their nerfed their jump, they are still my favorite, a great mix of fast but still able to kill most things you run into. I think they are a jack-of-all-trades for a "fast" mount. They are TERRIBLE on a laggy server though, like on an ext map where lag hits and suddenly you are DEEP through the kill field. :( Tip to regen stamina fast: Dismount. Dismounting for about 3 seconds will rapidly replenish the stam bar, rather than leaving you slowly waiting while mounted up. This works on all dinos, not just mana, but it makes the mana's nerfed movement not as terrible.

About the Griffin: The ones i tamed have really low health and leveling it up only gives a little (compared to all other dinos), so i leveled stamina and weight first, but one has to be really careful. Being too close to the ground and raptors surprise attack (especcially in the dark) can kill it :/ but yours has over 5k, so with that there is no need to worry.Mine only has around 100.

missing 1 of the most underrated traveling dinos on here. the Iguanodon. It has a running stance that doesn't cost ANY stamina.

[@TroyMornal]

There should be a saddle for the roller at that can't break but is extremely hard to get I I also think that the rhyniognatha carrying a diplo with a lot of players is best since the players on the diplo can shoot a very good ranged weapon so anilation of anything is imminent

[@andrewvarcoe4741]

Boy do I love when people sayb " this is an easy tame"," you just need to kill one and tame another". Uh, the process to tame is not so easy or simple, those suckers are tough, fast and IN THE OCEAN, ON THE BOTTOM MOSTLY. Ya thats an easy tame for sure lol. With the net projectile, yes for sure, without the ability to hold it on spot, no it is not easy. Of all dinos to tame the easiest is the horse, you either give it food passive or ride them to tame them, no saddle needed if I remember right and is a mortar and pestle as well. Your mounts advertised were more cool to have than useful for travel, they did travel well, but due to the process to find,survive,capture and tame not so great. Especially the managarmer that sucker literally jets away from you when taming.

[@flaviofiqueli1107]

Maewing is the best , you jsut dont know hjow to use it, you can jump , then press shift, go to the floor and then jump again , you will go to high heigt

No.1 should definitely be the bloodstalker in terms of pure travelling, not so much fighting things as well as travelling once you master the bloodstalkers controls it makes any other creature look like a snail
