Aberrant Megalania Overview
Aberrant Megalania is a land-based carnivore in ARK: Survival Ascended, is primarily used for resource harvesting, excelling at gathering specific materials. Tamed via knockout taming (Extraordinary Kibble is the optimal food), this carnivore enters service with 400 base Weight, providing good carrying capacity. It reproduces by laying fertilized eggs that incubate between 29°C and 35°C, with babies maturing requiring significant patience. Its harvest profile centers on Hide, Raw Meat, making farming runs noticeably faster. It earns its place in the stable for survivors looking to graduate from early-game tames.
