Aberrant Pulmonoscorpius
Aberrant Pulmonoscorpius Overview
In ARK: Survival Ascended, Aberrant Pulmonoscorpius occupies the harvester niche - is primarily used for resource harvesting, excelling at gathering specific materials. It is a carnivore tamed through knockout taming, with Regular Kibble as its top-tier food, and brings 106% base Melee Damage, giving it decent hitting power to the table. Breeding pairs lay fertilized eggs requiring 12°C–16°C incubation, after which juveniles reach adulthood requiring significant patience.
