ARK: Survival Ascended features the Araneo as a tamable, carnivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild.

Stamina sits at 150 base, providing moderate endurance. Its base Melee Damage sits at 100%, giving it respectable melee power. With 200 base Health, the Araneo is not particularly tanky. It carries 150 base Weight - average weight tolerance.

The Araneo is passively tamed - approach it carefully and feed it by hand without knocking it out. Its preferred food is Superior Kibble.

Once tamed, the Araneo is primarily used for resource harvesting, excelling at gathering specific materials. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 4°C–12°C temperature window. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.04 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
