Deinotherium, also known as Dinotherium or "tusked elephant," belongs to the extinct group of proboscideans and was an early and very successful representative of this animal group. It lived from the Miocene to the early Pleistocene, approximately 22 million to 1 million years ago, in large parts of the Old World. Particularly later forms of this genus reached gigantic sizes and were among the largest land mammals of their time.

While ARK already offers a variety of theropods, there has not been a megaraptorid until now. This changes with the new community winner of the creature vote. With over 32,000 votes, the Megaraptor has been chosen as the next dino for Valguero, and its debut promises to elevate hunting and fighting in ARK to a whole new level.

Dive into a new dinosaur survival experience that surpasses your wildest dreams... because ARK is being reinvented from the ground up with Unreal Engine 5 in the next generation of video game technology! You awaken on a mysterious island, your senses overwhelmed by bright sunlight and vibrant colors bouncing off every surface around you, while the azure waters of a lush island crash against your bare feet. A deep roar echoes from the misty jungle, prompting you to move, and you rise – not fearful, but curious.
