A massive hulking bat that tin be ridden, the Desmodus Draculae won the vote by a landslide with over 60k votes. The bat'south official fine art and Dossier take not yet been designed by the Ark Devs themselves, but the original artwork suggests an aggressive flock-based creature that is nocturnal, much similar a Megalosaurus. The details further propose this beast can pin their prey and drain both health and stamina, living on a diet of blood that grants them enhanced regeneration of health. They also appear to take a nocturnal buff when tamed, and a slower flying speed during the day alongside increased stamina drain. On top of this, they also take a bat's echolocation both equally radar and a defensive machinery much like the Sinomacrops, but on a much larger more terrifying calibration.

Again without an official Dossier as of yet, the concept for this dino is subject to modify, only based on the electric current data we know that the Carcharodonto, as it is to be called in-game, is a massive creature that rivals Rexes and Gigas in seize with teeth force and size. Whilst slightly smaller than the Giga the Carcharodonto is faster and based on the Dossier they seem to be able to do bleeding damage. Due to its smaller size, it lacks the HP pool of both the Giga and the Male monarch merely it seems to be able to outrun both of these and poses a pregnant hunting threat to any Survivor or smaller Dino. While the Carcharodonto didn't win the contest, the Devs have confirmed that information technology will be added to the roster as a free update later in the year.
