Dragontopia is a new paid DLC for ARK Survival Ascended, and its first creature - the Umbra - is already in the game ahead of the Dragontopia map, which arrives later. It is a rideable dragon with a genuinely strong PvP kit, tamed through an unusual grapple-and-minigame process. Here is what it does, where to find it, and how to tame one.
Where to Find the Umbra
The Umbra only appears at night, and only in small numbers, which is why people miss it. It is scattered across several existing maps rather than one home map: Extinction (the desert, the scar and around the sanctuary), the northern regions of Lost Colony, the Scorched Earth scar and desert, assorted spots on Valguero, the tropical regions of The Center, and the Ragnarok redwoods. There are likely more spawns on populated servers than in single-player.
Note: The Umbra does not spawn on Genesis and cannot be used there, which makes its launch timing a little odd. Wild Umbras cap at level 150.
