ARK: Survival Ascended features the Aberrant Achatina as a tamable, herbivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild. Classified under the Variant group.
Its base Melee Damage sits at 106%, giving it solid damage output. Starting at 72 Health, it's glass-cannon fragile. With 100 base Stamina, the Aberrant Achatina has low stamina reserves. Weight capacity starts at 60, giving it very limited carrying capacity.

After taming, the Aberrant Achatina is valued for its harvesting efficiency, collecting key resources faster than most tools. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.69 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
