Fastest Dino?

Rant

Im curious what other people think the fastest creature in Ark is, any type of travelling. Personally I think the crystal wyvern seems to have the fastest base speed but the griffins dive lets it gain a huge temporary speed boost.

Fastest creature in the game (excluding rocket boosted saddles and dives) is the Manticore, if you don't include bosses it's an alpha surface reaper.

When talking about tameable creatures, the fastest base speed is on the plesiosaur (and after that pretty close mosa, and then nothing else is even close at all) but I think because of the speed % stat and how much you gain you can technically get a manta to higher speed.

If you include dives, rockets and stuff like that I'm fairly certain that the targeted boost jump of s rock drake from a surface to another surface is the fastest speed in the game.

Are you sure shadowmane in water isnt faster than plesio/mosa?

Shadmanes are fastest water tame now. In air it's astrodelphis, then tropeo, then managarmr, then tropical crystal wyv.

The base movement speed of plesio and mosa is almost twice as high as a shadowmane.

Shadowmane has a base speed of around 1700, plesio has like 3700, mosa like 3600.

A crystal wyvern flying has ~2000.

But the shadowmane also gets alot faster from the water buff. I dont know how much faster though. Would like yo see a race between those.

Rock Drake or Maewing are the fastest most likely…

Just to help you a lil, a Rock Drake can make a Crystal Wyvern go out of viewing distance almost instantly in the hands of a good Rock Drake user.

What about the Maewing? I feel like that's the closest thing to a fast travel machanic in the game lol
