Whats Animals Are Fastest?

[Dartanyin]

I'm sort of new and all i could find were old discussions discussing this toppic. New animals have been added into ark so i was courious what was the fastest land and water dino in ark (i only have the island map so i dont have the exclusive dinos from other maps). I'm pretty sure the wyvern and the pteridactyl bird thing are the fastest air dinos, correct me if im wrong tho! :D

Yeah, the bary is probably my fav all-rounder too. I use procops to get somewhere fast, but the bary's versitillity is better if you don't need the speed.

Galliminus, put some lvl in speed and i swear its incredibly fast, so much that if you jump while running forward you are in the air for some seconds before touching ground.
its the fastest i ever tried i ride.
and its saddle got 2 places

my buddy and i mostly use our galli to lure big predators away from our base. like already said above, manuverability is not that great, but once you are running it's an awesome mount. it's jumping ability is insane, but you'll have to watch out bc of fall damage

gallimimus - Land
Iguanadon - Land
pteranadon - Air
Ichy - Ocean

I have over 900 hours in ARK. You can trust me on this one:

My top 3 fastest creatures for land travel:

1. Diplodocus - though its saddle is expensive to craft, the diplodocus has a unbelievably high amount of health. It can also run faster than a raptor, and gather its own food. With so much speed and health, the diplodocus is incredibly difficult to kill, therefore your journeys are without a doubt safe from any predator.

2. Gallilimus - the Gallimimus is THE fastest land mount in ARK. There is no other mount faster than it. This is THE iconic fastest land mount without any hesitation. However, so much speed is drawn back by its pitiful health. When cornered by predators, your Galli will not survive.

3. Beelzebufo (Frog) - Around the same speed as the Diplo, but is able to attack other creatures with impressive damage, therefore the Beelzebufo is a great travelling mount that can quickly defend itself in a pinch. It can also jump high into the air, and swim at great speeds - something that the Diplo and Galli cannot do.


My Top 3 fastest creatures for water travel:

1. Icthyosaurus - Easy to tame and easy to craft its saddle, plus, it is the second fastest swimming creature in the game. The Icthyosaurus is without a doubt one of the best ways to travel around the island.

2. Manta - This is THE fastest swimming creature in ARK, but the Manta is hard to control. Beaching yourself with a Manta will instantly kill it, so only tame it if you're sure you wont kill it!

3. Plesiosaur - Once tamed, Plesiosaurs are very strong because of their damage and health combined. Their sprint speed is also very close to that of an Icthy - just almost.



My Top 3 fastest creatures for air travel:

1. Pteranodon - The pteranodon, often mistaken for pterodactyl, is the fastest flying creature on the island. It is easy to tame because its favorite food is Dodo kibble, and Dodos are quick to tame in the first place. However it doesn't have that much weight.

2. Pelagornis - These water birds are a little slower than the pteranodon, but they can swim in the water, making them both good in the sky and the ocean!

3. Tapejra - You can find Tapejara in the Redwoods (it's quite dangerous to go there). Tapejara are a little slower than Pelagornis, but they can climb trees.

diplos speed feels unreal for such a fatty as it is, it's just a speed bus.

Raptor is... Ok.
Raptors are awesome

The fastest creatures in the game are actually:

1. The Microraptor

2. The Gallimimus

3. The Basilisk(Aberration DLC)

4. The Giganotosaurus

5. The Procoptodon

For reference, i used this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5qdhFuxU-U

lets not forget the Dire bear with its 3 speed transmission.

The video is nice, but it also doesnt take into account dinos with speeds that ramp up after a little bit

The woolly rhino and dire bear are both very fast mounts, almost uncontrollably fast. The woolly rhino though, burns through its stamina pretty quick though, so you have to constantly recharge it before carrying on. But not only are they both incredibly fast, they also both do a great deal of damage. I took on a group of 5 raptors just the other day with my newly tamed Rhino and in one pass I took out two raptors in one hit each, and on the second pass I killed the remaining 3 with one hit, as they had bunched together to chase me. It is a new tame around level 100 and at full charge does about 1500 damage with a single hit.

That said I would argue that the Procoptodon is easily the fastest way to get around on "land", though it spends most of it's travel time high in the sky. The fact that it is not only quick but can jump over and up onto obstacles makes it's effective speed considerably higher than say a gallimimus over rugged terrain. It also has very high knockback on its attack and the fastest backwards speed, making it very capable in combat by avoiding any damage. I actually always use my Procoptodon to take on Alpha Raptors and Carnos since I take almost no damage from them. An Alpha Rex on the other hand is much riskier as it seems to be able to outrange the Procoptodon with it's attacks.

Direbears also lose speed easily, if they so much as hop off the ground, they will stop galloping. They are also easily stopped by obstacles and are slow swimmers.

Not only does it not take their speed up into account, but it would seem that the person that did the video was using wild creatures as oppose to tamed creatures. Not only does taming a creature change the speed for many creatures but creatures that ramp up speed over time when tamed do not ramp up speed at all when wild. Also I noticed the iguanodon in the video was in it's upright position which made it slower than it would otherwise be. It also did not compare the speed for creatures that can jump really far when tamed, such as the Beelzebufo, Procoptodon and Kaprosuchus. I think the Kapro has perhaps the fastest jump speed and you can just spam jump with that thing when riding it.

So really the only thing that video seems to be useful for is comparing the speed of wild and non-riden creatures.

Wouldnt the rollrat be faster then the basilisk for aberration? i know a bred one with afew levels in speeds is just pure controlable
