ARK: Survival Evolved is adding a new herbivore to its growing landscape, but don't underestimate it. It knows how to use its head.

Now that people have gotten to know ARK: Survival Evolved just a little bit better, Studio Wildcard is ready to add some additional content to the dinosaur survival game. And that content includes a new creature called the Pachycephalosaurus... which is a mouthful, so that's why the developer is just calling it "Pachy."

Pachy is an herbivore, so no need to worry about it eating you. However, it does have a spiked skull, which gives it a potent charge attack. This is not only good against predators and the like, but it's also effective for knocking down walls.

Pachy will be accompanied by some other new patch changes. This includes a Raft to sail across the ocean blue and a new building system that will open the door for mobile Bronto bases.

ARK: Survival Evolved is currently on Steam Early Access. The full patch notes can be found here. For more on Pachy, check out the video below.

Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
