Dreadmare — Background & Lore
The Dreadmare is a dark, winged horse from the paid ARK Fantastic Tames DLC for ASA. It only comes out at night, flies freely in every direction, and can store allied creatures in a pocket dimension, which makes it a fast scout and an odd but useful cargo carrier.
Where to find it
It appears in the skies at night, from about 20:30 to 05:30, on The Center, Scorched Earth, Astraeos, Ragnarok, Valguero, Lost Colony and Extinction, and vanishes during the day.
Taming
It is not fed. Kill a wild Dreadmare, place the 
Dark Altar it drops and offer tributes on it at night, such as 
Sarcosuchus Skin, 
Spinosaurus Sail, 
Giganotosaurus Heart or alpha tributes. A missed tribute summons a Dreadmare and a tribute creature that must be killed, and four misses break the altar. Using the altar needs the DLC.
Breeding
A live-birth creature: gestation takes about 7.9 hours, and the baby matures in about 4.8 days at 1x.
Uses
Black Hole: stores a land creature with its inventory, with no extra weight.- Combat: Wind Blade steals healing, and Terror Shield reflects part of the next hit.
