Silvanor<\/strong> is the next creature coming to ARK: Dragontopia<\/strong>, arriving on 10 December 2026<\/strong>. Studio Wildcard revealed it in Community Crunch 532<\/a> on 14 November: a dragon with sweeping green wings, moss-covered scales and wildflowers growing across its body, which looks like “a piece of the forest itself has come to life”. Unusually for ARK, it’s patient rather than aggressive, but Wildcard warns that peaceful doesn’t mean defenceless.<\/p>\n

What is Silvanor in ARK?<\/h2>\n

A forest dragon for the Dragontopia expansion. Wildcard says that where some of its kin “are keen to strike, Silvanor seems to possess a remarkable sense of patience”: players who cross its path may be met with “a watchful gaze rather than an immediate attack”, as if it’s giving you a chance to reconsider. But “there’s a difference between being peaceful and being defenseless”, and anyone who mistakes one for the other may find themselves in “a rather\u2026 prickly situation”. Wildcard hasn’t shared its abilities, taming method or stats yet.<\/p>\n

What is the ARK Extra Life TLC vote?<\/h2>\n

Studio Wildcard’s Extra Life charity drive has raised more than $160,000<\/strong> for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals this year (over $1.2 million across twelve years). Every $40,000 raised unlocks a TLC<\/strong> (a visual and gameplay rework) for a classic creature chosen by community vote, and the Brontosaurus<\/strong> is the first winner. Wildcard has added a bonus fifth TLC, with donations deciding which creature gets it. Donations to Team Wildcard go to UF Health Shands Children’s Hospital.<\/p>\n
