Take a look and upvote your favorite creature submissions[survivetheark.com] from the community before the top 10 vote takes place on Monday, August 14th!
Although there's been a brief pause on ARK: Survival Ascended comparisons, we'll have more to show soon!

Let's take a trip down memory lane as we embark on our journey to The Center for our next Community Creature Contest. What will be the fan-voted real-world creature that will launch with the map for ARK: Survival Ascended?
