ARK Survival Ascended‘s Lost Colony DLC has finally been released after a launch delay, and it brings a host of new creatures.
While the list of prehistoric creatures was already vast in the base game, Lost Colony adds to them. This guide will list all the new creatures along with their brief in-game descriptions. As always, I will add to this guide if I come across new names that are part of the DLC but not mentioned here.
Complete list of Lost Colony DLC creatures in ARK Survival Ascended
The theme of the Lost Colony DLC is pretty same as that of the base game. Some of the new creatures are straight from the books of history. Others are mutated monsters that are byproducts of the misuse of technology.
| Names | Description |
|---|---|
| Aureliax | A brand new flying creature, you can use the Aureliax to destroy enemies with gravity effects. |
| Cryolophosaurus | Deals damage via narcotic sludge, but it can also buff your allies. |
| Desmodus | The Desmodus uses echolocation to target and damage enemies, and it can be a great option in areas where visibility is low. |
| Gigadesmodus | This massive creature is an absolute tank and also allows you to place a mobile command center on its back. This is arguably one of the best creatures to find in the Lost Colony expansion. |
| Gloon | The strange creature fires a laser, and it can make other creatures go into a frenzy and lose self-control. |
| Gargoyles | Mythical creatures that are made of stone, and they can be extremely dangerous if you aren’t careful. |
| Malwyn | This is the aggro version of the Veilwuyn, and offers multiple forms of attacks to take down enemies. |
| Neophytes | Another massive bat-type creature that can absorb a great deal of enemy damage before feeling the effects. |
| Ossidon | A giant primate that throws sludge balls at enemies. It can deal damage from range. |
| Revenants | These are corrupted remnants of Thralls and dinosaurs that have been corrupted by the liquid Edmundium. |
| Solwyn | Similar to Malwyn, it can use ice for different reasons, and can also be used as a mount. |
| Veilwyn | An Arctic Fox that can teleport (has some other handy uses as well). |
Overall, I really love the different creatures that are part of the Lost Colony DLC. Vielwyn is a curious creature that comes in two other forms: Solwyn and Malwyn. There might be more forms that I haven’t discovered yet.
I have always loved gigantic creatures, and it doesn’t get any better than the Gigadesmodus, which is absolutely massive. Taming the beast is a challenge in every sense, and I will have a guide to help you do the same. While I would have loved for the DLC to have more creatures, the different types make up for the lack in quantity.
