With the Gargantar, Studio Wildcard introduces a heavily armored colossus creature into the Dragontopia DLC of ARK: Survival Ascended. Visually, the reptile's head resembles a massive rhinoceros with a curved horn on its snout and a prominent neck shield. The lateral body openings are striking: these siphons function as ventilation systems through which the giant can breathe unhindered even when its stomach and pharynx are completely filled with battlefield debris.
