Community Crunch 517: Sharper Than Ever
The Tickle Chicken is sharpening its claws.Thanks to your Extra Life vote, one of ARK's most iconic creatures is getting a fresh coat of feathers, all while staying true to the role Survivors have relied on for years. Rather than redefining the creature, this TLC focuses on improving combat responsiveness, controls, traversal, visual progression and expanding the creature’s personality.The Therizino has always had a reputation for turning an innocent stroll through the woods into a frantic sprint for your life, and that isn't changing anytime soon. Survivors will find that wild ones are a little more patient than they used to be. They now make their intentions crystal clear, fixing you with an unblinking stare, spreading those infamous claws, and giving you one last chance to reconsider your life choices. Whether you heed that warning is entirely up to you.Survivors will also notice that no two hardworking Therizinos look quite the same. A seasoned harvester proudly wears the marks of its trade, with claws and posture reflecting the work it does best, making every faithful companion more unique.We're also excited to reveal the brand-new Therizinosaurus dossier, offering a fresh look at this legendary creature and its place on the ARKs.[center][color=#27ae60]Download in full resolution[/color][/center]Species: Therizinosaurus multiensisTime: Late CretaceousDiet: HerbivoreTemperament: TerritorialLike several other creatures on the ARKs, Therizinosaurus multiensis seems to be adjusting to our presence.
