There is only one new creature added to The Island in Ark: Survival Ascended, the Rhyniognatha, which inhabits the swamps across The Island and poses a deadly threat to any survivor it comes across.

For Ark: Survival Ascended, developer Studio Wildcard has created a community vote for every new map that will see a new, exclusive creature introduced—and the Rhyniognatha won the vote for The Island.

However, the availability of mods across all platforms means additional creatures from other maps can be added to The Island if you wish, and there are also some creatures the modding community has created.
