Each hit on a corpse generates resource drops based on damage dealt. The game randomly picks a resource from the corpse's loot table for each drop. Higher melee depletes the corpse faster, which can reduce total drops. All dinos get the same resource distribution from a given corpse - the difference is total drops from base damage.

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

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.

To tame the Araneo, you need to knock it unconscious using torpor weapons, then feed it while it's down. Feed it Superior Kibble for the fastest tame and highest effectiveness bonus.

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.
