Hello Explorers, and welcome to Explorer’s Guide to Pixark Creatures #2!

Today were taking a look at some of the desert creatures you’ll encounter in PixARK

Terror Bird


The Terror Bird is a fast, aggressive creature with a ferocious bite. You can try to run, but chances are you won't get far. The Terror Birds wings may not seem mighty, but it allows this bird of prey to leap longer distances than one might think. This makes the Terror Bird a good tame for scouting if you can capture one.

Dung Beetle


Dung beetles are small but deadly. Once they’ve noticed you they will begin to use their circling tactic and then strike. If a Dung Beetle bites you too many times your torpor will increase. If it is raised too high, it will leave you in an unconscious state! Be careful if you fight a Dung Beetle, these nasty bugs will alert nearby beetles causing a swarm before you can react.

Emperor Scorpion


Like the Terror Bird, the Emperor Scorpion is also an aggressive creature. They may not have the speed of a Terror Bird, but they are much harder to kill in combat. Watch out for their deadly pinchers and stinger! If hit to many times, you will be poisoned and your torpor will slowly increase which will leave you in an unconscious state.

The desert climate can be a super scorcher, so be sure to stay hydrated out there! Keep an eye out for more Explorers Guide to PixARK articles.

Hello Explorers!

PixARK released into Early Access last week with a bang, and we’d like to thank everyone for the massive support that we’ve gotten since then. Now that all of our Explorers have been able to get out into the ARK, we feel it’s time for our very first PixARK Community Event! We’ll be having these events regularly, and each event will have different requirements for participation.

For this event, we’re looking for Explorers to show us the most daring adventure they’ve had, with their closest portable friend! Submit a screenshot or GIF of your Explorer in either a dangerous or scenic location with a shoulder tame that is either keeping your company or providing moral support. All submissions should be sent to:

pixark.community@snailgamesusa.com

Please include your *full* server name, the region and the number if you’re on an official server, as well as a link to your Steam profile along with your submission.

• This community event will start today, Thursday, 4/5, and go until Friday, 4/13.
  
• Three winners will be chosen by the PixARK Community Team, and one winner will be chosen by the community!
  
• A community vote will be held on Steam Monday, 4/16.
  
• All four winners will be announced on Tuesday, 4/17 on Steam.
  
• Each winner will be provided an additional PixARK Steam Game Key!

We’re really excited to see all of the amazing locations, and daring situations that each Explorer has found themselves in recently. Any additional questions or concerns about the event can be sent to the same submissions email posted above! Good luck Explorers!
