Alpha Ossidon
Alpha Ossidon Overview
Survivors looking at Alpha Ossidon in ARK: Survival Ascended will find a land-based carnivore that roams the ARK as a wild, untamable creature. Alpha Ossidon cannot be tamed through conventional methods and is encountered with 20,000 base Health - extraordinarily tanky. It gives live birth after a gestation period, with offspring maturing over many real-world days, demanding serious time investment. Once tamed it harvests Hide, Raw Prime Meat more efficiently than most player tools. That combination of survivability and damage is why Alpha Ossidon sits on most endgame mount shortlists.

Drops & Harvest Resources
You can gather Hide, Raw Prime Meat from a Alpha Ossidon corpse. The corpse has 450 harvest health, allowing multiple hits before it's fully depleted.
Different tools yield different quantities - check the table below to pick the right tool for the resource you need. Generally, a Pick favors meat while a Hatchet favors hide and secondary materials.
| Resource |  Pick |  Hatchet |
|---|---|---|
| 40%~18~15 hits | 60%~28~12 hits | |
| 60%~21~15 hits | 40%~14~12 hits | |

Estimates based on game-extracted data (weights, quantities, harvest multipliers, damage type chains). Each harvest event independently rolls each resource - higher weight = higher drop chance. Actual yields vary with RNG.
