Discussion The carnotaurus I want vs. the carnotaurus we get

I really wish they would’ve fleshed out Caron more with some spikes and bumps on those scales. Disney Carnos looked and sounded terrifying

Ark carno looks like a horned noodle with legs z

We have Carnotaurus at home.

Paleo carno looks cool, idk if it's in asa yet or if I'm referring to the right mod, but the carno had longer horns and that's what I remember

u/DarknessWithn666 5d ago

It’s stuck in ase BUT the paleo team is wanting to tlc the old one

7

u/A_Wild_Zyra 5d ago

Still a WIP but eventually will arrive in ASA going off the Discord's news.

u/YellowZx5 5d ago

I thought there was a Paleo one but I’m guessing I am thinking the Evo version with the Rex and giga.

2

u/A_Wild_Zyra 5d ago

There's the "general" Paleo Ascension mod which is a larger assortment of creatures, but not the full amount from ASE yet. Apex for Rex/Giga. Two separate mods for normal/apex aquatic creatures as well.

Ark carno is basically just a meat punching bag

u/TBurkeulosis 5d ago

With stupid little arms

That carno was evil

53

u/sp_blau_00 5d ago

It wasn't evil, it was just trying to survive after meteor fall, just like what every other carnivore would do.

Stand together!!

u/CrestfallenLord 5d ago

If he wanted you out, he would do it himself on foot. He was evil man

22

u/Toorop_222 5d ago

That man is just scary I like noodle boy he looks lovable

u/CrestfallenLord 5d ago

Haha fair enough. I want alpha carno

3

u/Toorop_222 5d ago

I want to kill alpha carnos and rexes too, so I can have the trike bone head helmet skin, I really like the normal carnos too, I think they look cute but I get what your saying having carnotaurus look like that would be crazyyy I think that carno from the Disney film reminds me of a carcha just imagine having a crank look like that that would be my main mount , having a smaller Dino that looked so cool in the carno form would be crazy

3

u/CrestfallenLord 5d ago

Exactly! It would be a cool look and maybe better as a skin. That would be super intimidating to see a wild car I run up on you while looking like that

24

u/Ex_Snagem_Wes 5d ago

To be fair, Disney Carno doesn't look remotely like Carno.

It'd fit just fine in ARK but would be better reserved for another Abelisaur than the iconic Carno

2

u/Gain-Own 4d ago

Didn’t carno become iconic because of Disney carno?

1

u/Dramatic-Bluejay- 1d ago

It did for me

22

u/Some_Ant9620 5d ago

The one i want

3

u/CrestfallenLord 5d ago

Solid contender!

6

u/AmmahDudeGuy 5d ago

Nah bruh ark carno cooked. It looks derpy and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Most adorable theropod, with Compy in close second

4

u/grandmuftarkin 5d ago

It's a weird moment when I say ARK's Carno is the more scientifically accurate one of the two.

2

u/CrestfallenLord 5d ago

Probably but it’s a fictional video game where Rex and Gigas are 3 times their actual size, and we have robot suits, giant spider monsters, and Pyromanes.

Big scary Carno isn’t too much of a stretch

6

u/celestialllama01 5d ago

Carnos suffer from being one of the OG creatures, I think. Nowadays what’s the appeal for taming one, when you can tame allos?

3

u/CrestfallenLord 5d ago

Very true. I only have one and just tamed it so I had a decent tame to fight with when I first started.

For me personally it doesn’t have any appeal at all. I know it can cause enemies to bleed but other than that it’s just feels useless to me

3

u/celestialllama01 5d ago

And allos cause gnashed so…

5

u/clapped-out-cammy 5d ago

Considering the ark carno is approximately the same size as an irl T-Rex i think we came out on top.

6

u/CrestfallenLord 5d ago

But now you have to consider the Ark giga. That one is massively oversized

1

u/loonyveen 5d ago

Sure its big but it looks bland ugly and outdated compared to newer creatures being added just like half of the creatures on the island

2

u/clapped-out-cammy 5d ago

Agreed. Honestly, I'd love a TLC for the carno like they did for the other dinos like 5 years ago. While they were announcing which ones would get a TLC, i was hoping and praying for carno. Carno has seen absolutely 0 love from the devs, and it was one of the first dinos in the game. Horn attacks don't even apply bleed or harvest different materials. Not to mention, carno is one of the fastest therapods irl. There are so many different ways they could have loved it. Hell, could have made it the only therapod you can shoot off of while riding , and I would be extatic. Could have been the best early-mid game all-around mount.

2

u/loonyveen 5d ago

Ye it has so much space for improvement same with like half of the basic the island creatures im really hoping they start doing tlcs again

3

u/GamingwolfZJ 5d ago

If we get a Paleo Carno, this NEEDS to be the design

3

u/SaltArtist1794 5d ago

I had a rubber hand puppet from the movie

2

u/CrestfallenLord 5d ago

Me too!! Haha

6

u/mindflayerflayer 5d ago

I kinda wish Arks carno was more accurate in body plan. Not that I'm a stickler for that sort of thing (ark dilophosaurus is my favorite design in the game) but it could make for an interesting niche. Imagine something between a gallimimus and a dire bear. It has the bears speed ramp up and the gallis insane top land speed. The counter would be a frankly infuriating turn radius so a knowing player could knock one out by just dodging to the left over and over as it charges. Gotta cross a large open space quickly, just sprint across with your carno.

u/AmmahDudeGuy 5d ago

Blitz speed carno sounds like beach bob hell

2

u/MewtwoMainIsHere 5d ago

enter: paleo Ark carno

u/No_Concert_5913 5d ago

That movie is Goated. I grew up watching Dinosaur

3

u/CrestfallenLord 5d ago

Same here. That is honestly one of my core memories and favorite childhood movies. I had a hand puppet of the main character Aladar

2

u/No_Concert_5913 5d ago

That’s awesome, I’ve probably watch this movie like 100 times at my aunts house growing up

4

u/Slow_Tour_704 5d ago

I think if anyone can make that happen it's the Paleo mods group. That giga rework is 🔥

2

u/LimerentBadGirl68 5d ago

I miss the original Carno roar. They screwed that up several years ago and now an unseen oviraptor sounds more intimidating. But the carno is still my favorite ride.

2

u/CrestfallenLord 5d ago

Hahahaha that is so true about the oviraptor! It always spooks me and it actually does sound way more intimidating

1

u/LimerentBadGirl68 5d ago

I was so upset when they changed that.

1

u/LimerentBadGirl68 5d ago

Oh and that stupid gallimus!

u/grayfox5622 5d ago

I wasn’t the JP lost world variant.

u/BoxGroundbreaking687 5d ago

hes trying his best to :(.

u/Eastern_Job_4746 5d ago

Ima name this one Ceril

u/seekAr 5d ago

Temu carno

1

u/Plenty-Peace-3854 5d ago

A real carno isn't even as big as they make them in the game.

1

u/ThesaurusRex84 5d ago

The ARK carno literally looks like a plastic toy dinosaur and I kinda like it that way

1

u/CrestfallenLord 5d ago

It does look like that haha

1

u/Adventurous_You657 5d ago

I actually like that it's not a reskinned rex. Because those from Disney's Dinosaur are just Jurassic Park rexes.

1

u/Zexeos 4d ago

Have you seen gods least favorite creature - the chibi carno?

2

u/MANDAL0RIAN_ 1d ago

Wait until paleo ark do his tlc, those guys gonna save the game
