Final Day

This is the final day of Creature Release Week. No new creature is released today; it's simply an extra day with increased Cave attempts to collect the creatures you're after.

All stages of the CRW species will be visible in the Archives tomorrow. Are you ready for the reveal?

After today, every CRW species will retire from the Cave but reappear in the Cash Shop for a limited time.

Cryptid Three: Mothman

The Mothman is an ominous creature that is reportedly seen prior to a large disaster. It is one of the most popular creatures discussed among Ark's ever-growing community of cryptid enthusiasts, many of whom desire to see this flying red-eyed omen for themselves in spite of the tragedy that may follow.

Catch a glimpse of the Mothman in the Cave as part of Creature Release Week.

Cryptid Two: Dropalla

The name Dropalla comes from the fact that these vicious, nocturnal bears wait high up in trees and drop down to attack you with their enormously large claws and teeth when you're directly underneath them. Like other cryptids... is their existence really proven to be true though?

Find the Dropalla in the Cave as part of Creature Release Week.

CREATURE RELEASE WEEK 2019
CRYPTIDS

Creature Release Week Begins

If you've never experienced Creature Release Week before, get ready! Each day for the next week, we'll be releasing one brand-new species in the Cave for you to find and adopt. The final day of Creature Release Week is the 8th day, when all creatures are available from the Cave. Will you collect them all?

All creature stages will be revealed at the end of the week. The rest are hidden with the exception of the Hoddel (already known in the CDWC). Cave attempts are increased to 25 per day but will return to the normal 10 attempts per day after the final (8th) day.

THIS IS CREATURE RELEASE WEEK 2019: CRYPTIDS! WELCOME!

What are "cryptids?"

Cryptids are creatures who are rumored to exist but haven't been proven to exist by scientific observation. The Kraken would be an example of this.

Cryptid One: Hoddel

Based off the Hodag, this is the Hoddel. It was discovered by some Arkian scientists in the shallow swamps of Ark. Many thanks to @firedawn for writing the winning CDWC description (the first Hoddel in existence has been added to your account for free).

Don't visit the Cave from your side accounts! This has never been allowed and still isn't allowed during CRW. (It's really easy for us to tell who's abusing multiple accounts and Cave suspensions will be issued to offenders.)

8:19 PM: Cave Attempts Fixed

Cave attempts have been fixed and now allow you to visit 25 times per day without a wait. After that, it's the normal wait time.
